101 | GNU nano 3.2 "Het kromme hout" changes the default binding | |
102 | for the linter to M-B so that the spell checker (^T) can | |
103 | always be used, and changes (when linting) the text in the | |
104 | title bar and the color of the status bar to make linting | |
105 | mode more obvious. It also adds a bindable 'zap' function | |
106 | for deleting a line or marked region without changing the | |
67c6d961 | 107 | cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace> |
eb64fc57 | 108 | keys to the zap function when something is marked, and |
67c6d961 | 109 | hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the |
eb64fc57 BS |
110 | cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used), |
111 | renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and | |
112 | 'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed), | |
113 | reads the nanorc files also in restricted mode to allow | |
114 | customization by the user (if this should not be allowed, | |
115 | use --ignorercfiles in addition to --restricted), allows | |
116 | in view mode to open also other files (if this should not | |
117 | be allowed, use --restricted in addition to --view), makes | |
118 | resizes respect a relative --fill again, no longer binds | |
119 | F13...F15 by default, properly re-highlights a misspelled | |
120 | word after invoking help in the internal spell checker, | |
121 | and does not skip Unicode characters in string binds. | |

128 | misbinding of ^H on some terminals and some systems, | |
129 | does not leave stray stuff after the prompt upon exit | |
130 | when having suspended nano while using --constantshow, | |
131 | and does not allow to toggle to Replace in view mode. | |

137 | GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the | |
138 | reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the | |
139 | speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line | |
0c351168 BS |
140 | boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next |
141 | word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q | |
3f0eb75c BS |
142 | to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is |
143 | placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed), | |
144 | makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct | |
145 | number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple | |
146 | files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the | |
147 | 'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to | |
148 | 'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the | |
149 | Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from | |
150 | the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert | |
151 | menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as | |
0c351168 | 152 | a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before |
3f0eb75c BS |
153 | a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape |
154 | sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide | |
155 | rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the | |
156 | bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to | |
157 | 'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify. | |

163 | GNU nano 2.9.8 "Espresso" brings the ability to filter the | |
164 | buffer (or the marked region) through an external command | |
165 | (^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is | |
166 | better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to | |
167 | justify //-style comments, fixes a crash when the binding | |
168 | of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback | |
169 | about the number of lines written also when prepending or | |
170 | appending, and fixes a couple of bugs with the linter. | |

176 | GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends' | |
177 | for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word | |
178 | ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for | |
179 | the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed | |
180 | buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the | |
181 | until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and | |
182 | renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and | |
183 | 'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the | |
184 | corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon. | |

190 | GNU nano 2.9.6 "Gomance" fixes a crash in word completion, | |
191 | makes --enable-altrcname work again, improves the fluidity | |
192 | of scrolling when using the touchpad, tweaks the syntaxes | |
193 | for shell scripts and PO files, makes a replacing session | |
194 | go always forward by default, no longer inserts a newline | |
195 | after an external spell check of a selected region, always | |
196 | accepts the English Y and N (and A) at a yes-no prompt in | |
197 | any locale, and solves a few hypothetical bugs. | |

203 | GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up | |
204 | and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of | |
205 | keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now | |
206 | keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). | |
207 | This version further adds a new color name, "normal", | |
208 | which gives the default foreground or background color, | |
209 | which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous | |
210 | painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: | |
211 | a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted | |
212 | mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a | |
213 | slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was | |
214 | used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in | |
215 | file names. | |

221 | GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string | |
222 | (any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing | |
223 | the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors | |
224 | those error messages by default in bright white on red, | |
0c351168 | 225 | makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one |
c7a92f85 BS |
226 | row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a |
227 | file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any | |
228 | cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor | |
229 | cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as | |
230 | spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax | |
231 | names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options | |
232 | and six deprecated bindable function names. | |

236 | 2018 January 29 |
237 | ||
238 | GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks | |
239 | that could occur when a typed space caused the word after | |
240 | it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros | |
241 | work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, | |
242 | adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, | |
243 | recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, | |
244 | no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible | |
aa32601b | 245 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
246 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
247 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
248 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |
249 | but not a corresponding end match any more. Plus some | |
250 | other small fry. | |

256 | GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified | |
257 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
258 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
259 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
260 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
261 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
262 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
263 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
264 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 265 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
266 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
267 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
268 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
269 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
270 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

276 | GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark | |
277 | is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked | |
278 | region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag | |
279 | when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic | |
280 | strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last | |
281 | at line 1, column 1. | |

288 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; | |
289 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
290 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
291 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
292 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
293 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
294 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
295 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
296 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
297 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
298 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
299 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
300 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

307 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
308 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
309 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
310 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
311 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
312 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |

322 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
323 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
324 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
325 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
326 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
327 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |

386 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
387 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
388 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
389 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

395 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
396 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
397 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
398 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
399 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
400 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
401 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
402 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
403 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
404 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
405 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
406 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
407 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
408 | David Ramsey. | |

414 | GNU nano 2.7.5 "Nijntje" can properly search and replace | |
415 | the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things | |
416 | when multiline regexes with identical start and end are | |
417 | involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches, | |
418 | does replacements at the edges of a marked region right, | |
419 | no longer hides double-width characters at the head of | |
420 | softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at | |
421 | startup, and documents the ability to read a file from | |
422 | standard input. Come tickle my ears. | |

428 | GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly | |
429 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), | |
430 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
431 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
432 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
433 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
690585d0 | 434 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. |

440 | GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs: | |
441 | your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain | |
442 | newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching | |
443 | between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes, | |
444 | makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a | |
445 | Linux console, is more resistant against malformations | |
446 | in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is | |
447 | typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL. | |
448 | Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an | |
449 | unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it. | |
450 | Tastes great with thick butter. | |

456 | GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature: | |
457 | the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default) | |
458 | a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in | |
459 | the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs | |
460 | related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to | |
461 | use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on | |
462 | VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering | |
463 | during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override | |
464 | an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected | |
465 | region after an external spell check, and improves a few | |
466 | other tidbits. If you should find any more bugs, please | |
467 | run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there. | |

473 | GNU nano 2.7.1 "Leuven" adds an often-asked-for feature: the | |
474 | ability to display line numbers beside the text. This can | |
475 | be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line, | |
476 | or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with | |
477 | M-#. The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the | |
478 | option 'set numbercolor'. This release furthermore fixes | |
479 | some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict | |
480 | in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer | |
481 | as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been | |
482 | read into it. Come and check it out! | |

488 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
489 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
490 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
491 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
492 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
493 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
494 | ||
495 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
496 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
497 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

503 | nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on | |
504 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very | |
505 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
506 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
507 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
508 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
509 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
510 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! | |

516 | nano 2.6.2 "Le vent nous portera" adds two new features: the | |
517 | keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks | |
518 | of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which | |
519 | characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered | |
520 | word-forming. Further, it provides feedback during Unicode | |
521 | input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which | |
522 | must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the | |
523 | window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after | |
524 | having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line | |
525 | anchor (^) just once per line. There are also several tiny | |
526 | improvements in screen rendering and key handling. | |
527 | Come get your hair tousled! | |

533 | nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also | |
534 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers | |
535 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
536 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
537 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
538 | even worth mentioning). | |

544 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
545 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
546 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
547 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
548 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
549 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
550 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
551 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
552 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
553 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
554 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
555 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
556 | ||
557 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
558 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
