No Gnus is the name of the alpha Gnus release (e.g., CVS) after Oort, logically enough. Well, maybe not. Alpha (CVS) --> Beta --> Emacs release ---------------- ---------- ------------- (ding) Gnus --> Gnus 5.0.x --> Gnus 5.1 September Gnus --> Gnus 5.2.x --> Gnus 5.3 Red Gnus --> Gnus 5.4.x --> Gnus 5.5 Quassia Gnus --> Gnus 5.6.x --> Gnus 5.6 Pterodactyl Gnus --> Gnus 5.8.x --> Gnus 5.9 Oort Gnus --> Gnus 5.10.x No Gnus There used to be very frequent alpha Gnus releases, e.g. September Gnus 0.79, but these largely stopped when Gnus started using CVS. So even though No Gnus has been around for quite a while now the last "release" of it is No Gnus 0.3 and so the CVS version calls itself No Gnus 0.4. I think the current plan is that FSF Emacs 22 will ship with Gnus 5.11, and after that happens No Gnus will become Gnus 5.12.0. (I don't remember any more what features No Gnus has that aren't in the latest 5.10 release, or even what release that is. :-) --dzm _______________________________________________ Info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
