(info "(gnus) Oort Gnus")
If you have tried Oort (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when
upgrading to this version. In particular, you will probably want to
remove all `.marks' (nnml) and `.mrk' (nnfolder) files, so that
flags are read from your `.newsrc.eld' instead of from the
`.marks'/`.mrk' file where this release store flags. See a later
entry for more information about marks. Note that downgrading isn't
save in general.
(info "(gnus) No Gnus")
If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when
upgrading to this version. In particular, you will probably want to
remove the `~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that
flags are read from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale
marks file, where this release will store flags for nntp. See a
later entry for more information about nntp marks. Note that
downgrading isn't safe in general.
