New features in Gnus 5.6:
* New functionality for using Gnus as an offline newsreader has been
added. A plethora of new commands and modes have been added. See
Note:Gnus Unplugged for the full story.
* The `nndraft' back end has returned, but works differently than
before. All Message buffers are now also articles in the `nndraft'
group, which is created automatically.
* `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header
values.
* `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's.
* A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message
outside the region: `C-c C-v'.
* You can now post to component group in `nnvirtual' groups with
`C-u C-c C-c'.
* `nntp-rlogin-program'--new variable to ease customization.
* `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit
re-highlighting of the article buffer.
* New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers'--`long-to'.
* `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic
Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details.

`a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file.

* The `custom-face-lookup' function has been removed. If you used
this function in your initialization files, you must rewrite them
to use `face-spec-set' instead.
* Canceling now uses the current select method. Symbolic prefix
`a' forces normal posting method.

text--`W d'.

controlling where and how to send AUTHINFO to NNTP servers.

has been added.
