+2004.06.28 - GNU nano 1.3.3 marches forth. There are several new
+ features in this release, including a restricted mode
+ that provides better security than just setting an
+ operating directory, the ability to justify the entire
+ file at once, support for a "smart" home key that can
+ leap from the beginning of text on a line to the true
+ beginning of the line (or the reverse) in one stroke,
+ support for specifying an alternative spell checker in
+ $SPELL, the ability to specify the characters used to
+ display spaces and tabs so that they can easily be told
+ apart, and the ability to specify the characters marking
+ the ends of sentences as used in justification. There
+ are also several bug fixes; among other things,
+ justification now keeps spaces at the ends of all but
+ the last line of a paragraph as Pico does, saving a
+ marked selection no longer changes the current filename
+ to the filename the selection was saved under, resizing
+ now works better and no longer corrupts the screen under
+ slang, and the movement functions now avoid doing
+ unnecessary redraws and hence work faster. In short,
+ there are a lot of new things to play with. Enjoy.

2004.03.31 - GNU nano 1.3.2 is prepared for the void. New features in

<h2><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. Why the name change from TIP?</h2>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
<h2><a name="1.6"></a>1.6. What is the current version of nano?</h2>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano *should* be 1.3.2. Of course you should always check the nano homepage to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
