+2019 August 25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag"
+
+
+- At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence
+ of a string by preceding the filename with +/string or +?string.
+- When automatic hard-wrapping occurs (--breaklonglines), any leading
+ quoting characters will be automatically copied to the new line.
+- M-6 works again also when the cursor is at end of buffer.

+2019 June 18 - GNU nano 4.3 "Musa Kart"
+
+
+- The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.
+- Startup time is reduced by fully parsing a syntax only when needed.
+- Asking for help (^G) when using --operatingdir does not crash.
+- The reading of a huge or slow file can be stopped with ^C.
+- Cut, zap, and copy operations are undone separately when intermixed.
+- M-D reports the correct number of lines (zero for an empty buffer).

+2019 April 24 - GNU nano 4.2 "Tax the rich, pay the teachers"
+
+
+- The integrated spell checker does not crash when 'spell' is missing.
+- Option --breaklonglines works also when --ignorercfiles is used.
+- Automatic hard-wrapping is more persistent in pushing words to the
+ same overflow line.

+
+2019 April 15 - GNU nano 4.1 "Qué corchos será eso?"
+
+
+- By default, a newline character is again automatically added at the
+ end of a buffer, to produce valid POSIX text files by default, but
+ also to get back the easy adding of text at the bottom.
+- The now unneeded option --finalnewline (-f) has been removed.
+- Syntax files are read in alphabetical order when globbing, so that
+ the precedence of syntaxes becomes predictable.
+- In the C syntax, preprocessor directives are highlighted differently.
+- M-S now toggles soft wrapping, and M-N toggles line numbers.
+- The jumpy-scrolling toggle has been removed.
+- The legacy keystrokes ^W^Y and ^W^V are recognized again.
+- Executing an external command is disallowed when in view mode.
+- Problems with resizing during external or speller commands were fixed.

+2019 March 24 - GNU nano 4.0 "Thy Rope of Sands"
+
+
+- An overlong line is no longer automatically hard-wrapped.
+- Smooth scrolling (one line at a time) has become the default.
+- A newline character is no longer automatically added at end of buffer.
+- The line below the title bar is by default part of the editing space.
+- Option --breaklonglines (-b) turns automatic hard-wrapping back on.
+- Option --jumpyscrolling (-j) gives the chunky, half-screen scrolling.
+- Option --finalnewline (-f) brings back the automatic newline at EOF.
+- Option --emptyline (-e) leaves the line below the title bar unused.
+- <Alt+Up> and <Alt+Down> now do a linewise scroll instead of a findnext.
+- Any number of justifications can be undone (like all other operations).
+- When marked text is justified, it becomes a single, separate paragraph.
+- Option --guidestripe=<number> draws a vertical bar at the given column.
+- Option --fill=<number> no longer turns on automatic hard-wrapping.
+- When a line continues offscreen, it now ends with a highlighted ">".
+- The halves of a split two-column character are shown as "[" and "]".
+- A line now scrolls horizontally one column earlier.
+- The bindable functions 'cutwordleft' and 'cutwordright' were renamed
+ to 'chopwordleft' and 'chopwordright' as they don't use the cutbuffer.
+- The paragraph-jumping functions were moved from Search to Go-to-Line.
+- Option --rebinddelete is able to compensate for more misbindings.
+- Options --morespace and --smooth are obsolete and thus ignored.
+- The --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option was removed.

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

+GNU nano 3.1 "Je faisais des bonds comme ça!" fixes a
+misbinding of ^H on some terminals and some systems,
