156 | GNU nano 3.2 "Het kromme hout" changes the default binding | |
157 | for the linter to M-B so that the spell checker (^T) can | |
158 | always be used, and changes (when linting) the text in the | |
159 | title bar and the color of the status bar to make linting | |
160 | mode more obvious. It also adds a bindable 'zap' function | |
161 | for deleting a line or marked region without changing the | |
67c6d961 | 162 | cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace> |
eb64fc57 | 163 | keys to the zap function when something is marked, and |
67c6d961 | 164 | hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the |
eb64fc57 BS |
165 | cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used), |
166 | renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and | |
167 | 'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed), | |
168 | reads the nanorc files also in restricted mode to allow | |
169 | customization by the user (if this should not be allowed, | |
170 | use --ignorercfiles in addition to --restricted), allows | |
171 | in view mode to open also other files (if this should not | |
172 | be allowed, use --restricted in addition to --view), makes | |
173 | resizes respect a relative --fill again, no longer binds | |
174 | F13...F15 by default, properly re-highlights a misspelled | |
175 | word after invoking help in the internal spell checker, | |
176 | and does not skip Unicode characters in string binds. | |

192 | GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the | |
193 | reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the | |
194 | speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line | |
0c351168 BS |
195 | boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next |
196 | word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q | |
3f0eb75c BS |
197 | to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is |
198 | placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed), | |
199 | makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct | |
200 | number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple | |
201 | files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the | |
202 | 'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to | |
203 | 'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the | |
204 | Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from | |
205 | the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert | |
206 | menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as | |
0c351168 | 207 | a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before |
3f0eb75c BS |
208 | a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape |
209 | sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide | |
210 | rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the | |
211 | bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to | |
212 | 'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify. | |

220 | (^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is | |
221 | better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to | |

223 | of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback | |

234 | the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed | |
235 | buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the | |
236 | until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and | |
237 | renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and | |
238 | 'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the | |
239 | corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon. | |

258 | GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up | |
259 | and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of | |
260 | keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now | |
261 | keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). | |
262 | This version further adds a new color name, "normal", | |
263 | which gives the default foreground or background color, | |
264 | which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous | |
265 | painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: | |
266 | a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted | |
267 | mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a | |
268 | slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was | |

270 | file names. | |

279 | those error messages by default in bright white on red, | |
0c351168 | 280 | makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one |
c7a92f85 BS |
281 | row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a |
282 | file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any | |
283 | cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor | |
284 | cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as | |
285 | spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax | |
286 | names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options | |
287 | and six deprecated bindable function names. | |

293 | GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks | |
294 | that could occur when a typed space caused the word after | |
295 | it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros | |
296 | work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, | |
297 | adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, | |
298 | recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, | |
299 | no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible | |
aa32601b | 300 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
301 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
302 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
303 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |

312 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
313 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
314 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
315 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
316 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
317 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
318 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
319 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 320 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
321 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
322 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
323 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
324 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
325 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

345 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
346 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
347 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
348 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
349 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
350 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
351 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
352 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
353 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
354 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |

362 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
363 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
364 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
365 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
366 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
367 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
368 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
369 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

2031a280 | 375 | GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability |
e3e1bf2d BS |
376 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- |
377 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
378 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
379 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
380 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
381 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
382 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
383 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

389 | GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from | |
390 | a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows | |
391 | negative line and column numbers on the command line, | |
392 | avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while | |
393 | in the file browser, opens files in the order they were | |
394 | mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to | |
395 | have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT. | |

410 | and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards | |
411 | searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer | |

418 | GNU nano 2.8.2 "Krats" adds another new feature: it makes | |
419 | the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that, | |
420 | it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle | |
421 | of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used | |
422 | without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing | |
423 | the screen twice when switching between buffers while | |
424 | line numbers are active, and works around a coloring | |
425 | bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus | |
426 | translation updates for fifteen languages. | |

432 | GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and | |
433 | on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when | |
434 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
0a09732f | 435 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split |
f2eff274 BS |
436 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at |
437 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
438 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
439 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
440 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
441 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
442 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
443 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
444 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

450 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
451 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
452 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
453 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
454 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
455 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
456 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
457 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
458 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
459 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
460 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
461 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
462 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
463 | David Ramsey. | |

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

484 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), | |
485 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
486 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
487 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
488 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
690585d0 | 489 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. |

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

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

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

543 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
544 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
545 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
546 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
547 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
548 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
549 | ||
550 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
551 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
552 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

558 | nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on | |
559 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very | |
560 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
561 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
562 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
563 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
564 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
0fe6854f | 565 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! |

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

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

599 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
600 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
601 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
602 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
603 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
604 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
605 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
606 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
607 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
608 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
609 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
610 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
611 | ||
612 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
613 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
