+2003.01.17 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre1 "enough already" has been released.
+               This release is, barring bug fixes and documentation
+               updates, what version 1.2.0 has looked like, feature
+               wise. There will very likely be bugs, just due the 
+               volume of changes made in this release.  Search 
+               and replace string history has been added, including an 
+               option to log history to ~/.nano_history (-H, 
+               --historylog). Because of this, the pico incompatible 
+               search/replace string behavior that used to be the 
+               default has been deleted.   The old "pico" flag (-p) 
+               is now compatible with Pico's "preserve" mode for 
+               allowing flow control characters; by default this 
+               version ignores both ^Q and ^S. The 
+               --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option has been 
+               forward ported from version 1.0.x, and a new flag to 
+               enable all extra options (--enable-all) has been added.  
+               The internal spell checker has been improved, meaning 
+               you will now be prompted only once for each unique 
+               capitalization of a given word.  
+                       There have also been lots of bug fixes,
+               including the "trying to insert a directory name in 
+               multibuffer mode bug", the ugly spell checker scrolling,
+               the color code, cutting text crashes, justification,
+               deleting the "magic line" via replace, and cursor 
+               positioning on the statusbar.   There have also been
+               the usual helping of translation and documentation
+               updates.  
+                       Please send all new feedback on this release
+               direct to the development list (nano-devel@gnu.org).
