21 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
22 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
23 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
24 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
25 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
26 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
27 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
28 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
29 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
30 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
31 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
32 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
33 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
34 | David Ramsey. | |

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

54 | GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly | |
55 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), | |
56 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
57 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
58 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
59 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
60 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. | |

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

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

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

114 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
115 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
116 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
117 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
118 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
119 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
120 | ||
121 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
122 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
123 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

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

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

159 | nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also | |
160 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers | |
161 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
162 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
163 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
164 | even worth mentioning). | |

170 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
171 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
172 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
173 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
174 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
175 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
176 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
177 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
178 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
179 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
180 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
181 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
182 | ||
183 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
184 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
