+02/19/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre3 brings a lot of changes!  The most important

+               changes have been made for GNU compatibility (like the
+               default list of shortcuts, "^G Get Help" is now Listed and
+               "^_ Goto Line" is not).  The Yes/No/All keys have
+               finally been internationalized also.   All in all, quite
+               a few changes considering nano is supposed to be in a code
+               freeze. But there are the usual helping of bugfixes, a
+               nasty bug when cutting text in -k mode and some
+               compatibility with older ncurses libraries have also been
+               fixed.  All in all, a lot to see.
