346 | GNU nano 3.2 "Het kromme hout" changes the default binding | |
347 | for the linter to M-B so that the spell checker (^T) can | |
348 | always be used, and changes (when linting) the text in the | |
349 | title bar and the color of the status bar to make linting | |
350 | mode more obvious. It also adds a bindable 'zap' function | |
351 | for deleting a line or marked region without changing the | |
67c6d961 | 352 | cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace> |
eb64fc57 | 353 | keys to the zap function when something is marked, and |
67c6d961 | 354 | hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the |
eb64fc57 BS |
355 | cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used), |
356 | renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and | |
357 | 'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed), | |
358 | reads the nanorc files also in restricted mode to allow | |
359 | customization by the user (if this should not be allowed, | |
360 | use --ignorercfiles in addition to --restricted), allows | |
361 | in view mode to open also other files (if this should not | |
362 | be allowed, use --restricted in addition to --view), makes | |
363 | resizes respect a relative --fill again, no longer binds | |
364 | F13...F15 by default, properly re-highlights a misspelled | |
365 | word after invoking help in the internal spell checker, | |
366 | and does not skip Unicode characters in string binds. | |

382 | GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the | |
383 | reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the | |
384 | speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line | |
0c351168 BS |
385 | boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next |
386 | word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q | |
3f0eb75c BS |
387 | to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is |
388 | placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed), | |
389 | makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct | |
390 | number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple | |
391 | files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the | |
392 | 'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to | |
393 | 'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the | |
394 | Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from | |
395 | the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert | |
396 | menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as | |
0c351168 | 397 | a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before |
3f0eb75c BS |
398 | a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape |
399 | sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide | |
400 | rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the | |
401 | bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to | |
402 | 'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify. | |

411 | better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to | |
412 | justify //-style comments, fixes a crash when the binding | |
413 | of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback | |
414 | about the number of lines written also when prepending or | |

424 | the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed | |

426 | until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and | |
427 | renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and | |

448 | GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up | |
449 | and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of | |
450 | keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now | |
451 | keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). | |
452 | This version further adds a new color name, "normal", | |
453 | which gives the default foreground or background color, | |
454 | which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous | |
455 | painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: | |
456 | a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted | |
457 | mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a | |
458 | slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was | |
459 | used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in | |
460 | file names. | |

468 | the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors | |
469 | those error messages by default in bright white on red, | |
0c351168 | 470 | makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one |
c7a92f85 BS |
471 | row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a |
472 | file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any | |
473 | cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor | |
474 | cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as | |
475 | spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax | |
476 | names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options | |
477 | and six deprecated bindable function names. | |

483 | GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks | |
484 | that could occur when a typed space caused the word after | |
485 | it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros | |
486 | work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, | |
487 | adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, | |
488 | recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, | |
489 | no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible | |
aa32601b | 490 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
491 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
492 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
493 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |

501 | GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified | |
502 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
503 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
504 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
505 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
506 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
507 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
508 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
509 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 510 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
511 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
512 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
513 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
514 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
515 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

523 | region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag | |
524 | when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic | |

532 | GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and | |
533 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; | |
534 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
535 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
536 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
537 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
538 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
539 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
540 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
541 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
542 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
543 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
544 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
545 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

554 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
555 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
556 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
557 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |

567 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
568 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
569 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
570 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
571 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |

0a09732f | 625 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split |
f2eff274 BS |
626 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at |
627 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
628 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
629 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
630 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
631 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
632 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |

640 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
641 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
642 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
643 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
644 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
645 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
646 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
647 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
648 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
649 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
650 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
651 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
652 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |

688 | between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes, | |
689 | makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a | |

702 | the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default) | |
703 | a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in | |
704 | the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs | |
705 | related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to | |
706 | use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on | |
707 | VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering | |
708 | during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override | |
709 | an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected | |

735 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
736 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
737 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
738 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
739 | ||
740 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
741 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
742 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

748 | nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on | |
749 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very | |
750 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
751 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
752 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
753 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
754 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
0fe6854f | 755 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! |

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

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

789 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
790 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
791 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
792 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
793 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
794 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
795 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
796 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
797 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
798 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
799 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
800 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
801 | ||
802 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
803 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
