systems and a bit of new documentation, it starts up faster
on some systems and has minor new features, like tab completion
or detection of ``news:'' URLs. It is also more RFC compliant
than ever.
It has a fully customizable group mode and status bars,
highlights URLs, makes use of some common NNTP extensions,
offers better documentation and has lots of minor improvements
and bugfixes over the previous version.
