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

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