21 | GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends' | |
22 | for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word | |
23 | ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for | |
24 | the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed | |
25 | buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the | |
26 | until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and | |
27 | renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and | |
28 | 'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the | |
29 | corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon. | |

35 | GNU nano 2.9.6 "Gomance" fixes a crash in word completion, | |
36 | makes --enable-altrcname work again, improves the fluidity | |
37 | of scrolling when using the touchpad, tweaks the syntaxes | |
38 | for shell scripts and PO files, makes a replacing session | |
39 | go always forward by default, no longer inserts a newline | |
40 | after an external spell check of a selected region, always | |
41 | accepts the English Y and N (and A) at a yes-no prompt in | |
42 | any locale, and solves a few hypothetical bugs. | |

48 | GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up | |
49 | and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of | |
50 | keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now | |
51 | keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). | |
52 | This version further adds a new color name, "normal", | |
53 | which gives the default foreground or background color, | |
54 | which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous | |
55 | painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: | |
56 | a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted | |
57 | mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a | |
58 | slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was | |
59 | used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in | |
60 | file names. | |

66 | GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string | |
67 | (any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing | |
68 | the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors | |
69 | those error messages by default in bright white on red, | |
70 | makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one | |
71 | row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a | |
72 | file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any | |
73 | cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor | |
74 | cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as | |
75 | spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax | |
76 | names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options | |
77 | and six deprecated bindable function names. | |

83 | GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks | |
84 | that could occur when a typed space caused the word after | |
85 | it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros | |
86 | work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, | |
87 | adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, | |
88 | recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, | |
89 | no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible | |
aa32601b | 90 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
91 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
92 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
93 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |
94 | but not a corresponding end match any more. Plus some | |
95 | other small fry. | |

101 | GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified | |
102 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
103 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
104 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
105 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
106 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
107 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
108 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
109 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 110 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
111 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
112 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
113 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
114 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
115 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

121 | GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark | |
122 | is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked | |
123 | region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag | |
124 | when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic | |
125 | strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last | |
126 | at line 1, column 1. | |

132 | GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and | |
133 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; | |
134 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
135 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
136 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
137 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
138 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
139 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
140 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
141 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
142 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
143 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
144 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
145 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

151 | GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are | |
152 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
153 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
154 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
155 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
156 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
157 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
158 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
159 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

164 | ||
2031a280 | 165 | GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability |
e3e1bf2d BS |
166 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- |
167 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
168 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
169 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
170 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
171 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
172 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
173 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

179 | GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from | |
180 | a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows | |
181 | negative line and column numbers on the command line, | |
182 | avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while | |
183 | in the file browser, opens files in the order they were | |
184 | mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to | |
185 | have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT. | |

201 | searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer | |
8f3b8915 | 202 | asks "save anyway?" when the user ^Q discards the buffer. |

208 | GNU nano 2.8.2 "Krats" adds another new feature: it makes | |
209 | the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that, | |
210 | it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle | |
211 | of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used | |
212 | without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing | |
213 | the screen twice when switching between buffers while | |
214 | line numbers are active, and works around a coloring | |
215 | bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus | |
216 | translation updates for fifteen languages. | |

221 | ||
222 | GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and | |
223 | on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when | |
224 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
0a09732f | 225 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split |
f2eff274 BS |
226 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at |
227 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
228 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
229 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
230 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
231 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
232 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
233 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
234 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

239 | ||
240 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
241 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
242 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
243 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
244 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
245 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
246 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
247 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
248 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
249 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
250 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
251 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
252 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
253 | David Ramsey. | |

259 | GNU nano 2.7.5 "Nijntje" can properly search and replace | |
260 | the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things | |
261 | when multiline regexes with identical start and end are | |
262 | involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches, | |
263 | does replacements at the edges of a marked region right, | |
264 | no longer hides double-width characters at the head of | |
265 | softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at | |
266 | startup, and documents the ability to read a file from | |
267 | standard input. Come tickle my ears. | |

273 | GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly | |
274 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), | |
275 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
276 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
277 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
278 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
690585d0 | 279 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. |

285 | GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs: | |
286 | your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain | |
287 | newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching | |
288 | between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes, | |
289 | makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a | |
290 | Linux console, is more resistant against malformations | |
291 | in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is | |
292 | typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL. | |
293 | Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an | |
294 | unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it. | |
295 | Tastes great with thick butter. | |

301 | GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature: | |
302 | the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default) | |
303 | a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in | |
304 | the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs | |
305 | related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to | |
306 | use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on | |
307 | VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering | |
308 | during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override | |
309 | an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected | |
310 | region after an external spell check, and improves a few | |
311 | other tidbits. If you should find any more bugs, please | |
312 | run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there. | |

317 | ||
318 | GNU nano 2.7.1 "Leuven" adds an often-asked-for feature: the | |
319 | ability to display line numbers beside the text. This can | |
320 | be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line, | |
321 | or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with | |
322 | M-#. The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the | |
323 | option 'set numbercolor'. This release furthermore fixes | |
324 | some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict | |
325 | in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer | |
326 | as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been | |
327 | read into it. Come and check it out! | |

331 | 2016 September 1 |
332 | ||
333 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
334 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
335 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
336 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
337 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
338 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
339 | ||
340 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
341 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
342 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

348 | nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on | |
349 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very | |
350 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
351 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
352 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
353 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
354 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
355 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! | |

361 | nano 2.6.2 "Le vent nous portera" adds two new features: the | |
362 | keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks | |
363 | of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which | |
364 | characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered | |
365 | word-forming. Further, it provides feedback during Unicode | |
366 | input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which | |
367 | must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the | |
368 | window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after | |
369 | having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line | |
370 | anchor (^) just once per line. There are also several tiny | |
371 | improvements in screen rendering and key handling. | |
372 | Come get your hair tousled! | |

376 | 2016 June 27 |
377 | ||
378 | nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also | |
379 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers | |
380 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
381 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
382 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
383 | even worth mentioning). | |

388 | ||
389 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
390 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
391 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
392 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
393 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
394 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
395 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
396 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
397 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
398 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
399 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
400 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
401 | ||
402 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
403 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
