Gnews 1.4 is now on ucbvax for anonymous ftp, file /pub/gnews-1.4-tar.Z.

This is the last version until June.  Have fun--and please send comments!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes from 1.3 => 1.4 are:

The gnews-spool-machine defvar was moved to the top of gnewsutils.el.
This is for the benefit of those having great difficulty getting Gnews
to load/compile.

Use of the kill-ring eliminated from all(?) Gnews internals.

The badly erroneous 1.3 hook-kill junking bug is fixed.

The old, annoying can't-easily-enter-long-unread-newsgroups bug is fixed.

Bugs in group-last-seen (-), group-mark-later (M), {group,index}-catchup
(c), group-next-same-subject (~N), group-first (^), fixed.

Warnings are not made when the error is only 1.

gnews-output-to-rmail-file now saves full headers and a summary line.
You will probably want to modify your rmail-ignored-headers variable to
further ignore any ugly news headers like Path, Distribution, etc.

Several amark-* primitives have become macros.  This should speed a few
things up.

The extra mail headers set by mail-self-blind, mail-archive-file-name,
and mail-default-reply-to, are now set in e-reply buffers.

DEL added as a binding for {group,pager}-mode's group-back (b), so that
paging forward/backward through articles and indices are both more like
view-mode.

index-ignore (i) added for quick skipping over of topics.  So for large
newsgroups, sorting the index-buffer and "i"gnoring, along with a final
catchup, should be a quick way to pass through everything.

index-undo (U) now not only sets the index-buffer window contents back,
but also resets the amark-list to correspond to the new display.  Cross-
posted junks are not undone, however.

X/Mouse binding removed from index-mode-map.  index-x-select still exists.
