aa32601b | 649 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
650 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
651 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
652 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |
653 | but not a corresponding end match any more. Plus some | |
654 | other small fry. | |

1bbb16e2 | 660 | GNU nano 2.9.2 <i>"Pussy Riot"</i> correctly displays the Modified |
1aac1698 BS |
661 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved |
662 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
663 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
664 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
665 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
666 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
667 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
668 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 669 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
670 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
671 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
672 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
673 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
674 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

1bbb16e2 | 680 | GNU nano 2.9.1 <i>"Damyatta"</i> fixes a bug where, when the mark |
83218525 BS |
681 | is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked |
682 | region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag | |
683 | when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic | |
684 | strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last | |
685 | at line 1, column 1. | |

1bbb16e2 | 691 | GNU nano 2.9.0 <i>"Eta"</i> introduces the ability to record and |
a65d4e42 BS |
692 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; |
693 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
694 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
695 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
696 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
697 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
698 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
699 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
700 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
701 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
702 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
703 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
704 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

1bbb16e2 | 710 | GNU nano 2.8.7 <i>"Fragrance"</i> fixes a lockup when tabs are |
47a922e5 BS |
711 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting |
712 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
713 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
714 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
715 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
716 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
717 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
718 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

722 | 2017 July 21 |
723 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 724 | GNU nano 2.8.6 <i>"Kekulé"</i> offers a new feature: the ability |
e3e1bf2d BS |
725 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- |
726 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
727 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
728 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
729 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
730 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
731 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
732 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

739 | a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows |
740 | negative line and column numbers on the command line, | |
741 | avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while | |
742 | in the file browser, opens files in the order they were | |

759 | and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards | |

1bbb16e2 | 767 | GNU nano 2.8.2 <i>"Krats"</i> adds another new feature: it makes |
b6208c46 BS |
768 | the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that, |
769 | it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle | |
770 | of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used | |
771 | without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing | |
772 | the screen twice when switching between buffers while | |
773 | line numbers are active, and works around a coloring | |
774 | bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus | |
775 | translation updates for fifteen languages. | |

1bbb16e2 | 781 | GNU nano 2.8.1 <i>"Ellert"</i> fixes build failures on MacOS and |
f2eff274 BS |
782 | on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when |
783 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
0a09732f | 784 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split |
f2eff274 BS |
785 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at |
786 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
787 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
788 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
789 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
790 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
791 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
792 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
793 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

1bbb16e2 | 799 | GNU nano 2.8.0 <i>"Axat"</i> makes it easier to move around in |
26bddce3 BS |
800 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from |
801 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
802 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
803 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
804 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
805 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
806 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
807 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
808 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
809 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
810 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
811 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
812 | David Ramsey. | |

1bbb16e2 | 818 | GNU nano 2.7.5 <i>"Nijntje"</i> can properly search and replace |
9aefbfdf BS |
819 | the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things |
820 | when multiline regexes with identical start and end are | |
821 | involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches, | |
822 | does replacements at the edges of a marked region right, | |
823 | no longer hides double-width characters at the head of | |
824 | softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at | |
825 | startup, and documents the ability to read a file from | |
826 | standard input. Come tickle my ears. | |

5715368c BS |
833 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), |
834 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
835 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
836 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
837 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
690585d0 | 838 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. |

843 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 844 | GNU nano 2.7.3 <i>"Ontbijtkoek"</i> wipes away a handful of bugs: |
26028e19 BS |
845 | your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain |
846 | newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching | |
847 | between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes, | |
848 | makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a | |
849 | Linux console, is more resistant against malformations | |
850 | in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is | |
851 | typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL. | |
852 | Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an | |
853 | unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it. | |
854 | Tastes great with thick butter. | |

858 | 2016 December 12 |
859 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 860 | GNU nano 2.7.2 <i>"Shemesh! Shemesh!"</i> brings another feature: |
071abd3f BS |
861 | the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default) |
862 | a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in | |
863 | the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs | |
864 | related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to | |
865 | use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on | |
866 | VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering | |
867 | during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override | |
868 | an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected | |
869 | region after an external spell check, and improves a few | |
870 | other tidbits. If you should find any more bugs, please | |
871 | run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there. | |

875 | 2016 October 29 |
876 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 877 | GNU nano 2.7.1 <i>"Leuven"</i> adds an often-asked-for feature: the |
8e909873 BS |
878 | ability to display line numbers beside the text. This can |
879 | be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line, | |
880 | or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with | |
881 | M-#. The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the | |
882 | option 'set numbercolor'. This release furthermore fixes | |
883 | some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict | |
884 | in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer | |
885 | as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been | |
886 | read into it. Come and check it out! | |

890 | 2016 September 1 |
891 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 892 | GNU nano 2.7.0 <i>"Suni"</i> adds a new feature: allowing text to be |
4bb9ab8c BS |
893 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. |
894 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
895 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
896 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
897 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
898 | ||
899 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
900 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
901 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

92bdea0d BS |
908 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very |
909 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
910 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
911 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
912 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
913 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
0fe6854f | 914 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! |

918 | 2016 July 28 |
919 | ||
1bbb16e2 | 920 | nano 2.6.2 <i>"Le vent nous portera"</i> adds two new features: the |
2ea62bdc BS |
921 | keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks |
922 | of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which | |
923 | characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered | |
924 | word-forming. Further, it provides feedback during Unicode | |
925 | input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which | |
926 | must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the | |
927 | window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after | |
928 | having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line | |
929 | anchor (^) just once per line. There are also several tiny | |
930 | improvements in screen rendering and key handling. | |
931 | Come get your hair tousled! | |

1bbb16e2 | 937 | nano 2.6.1 <i>"Stampede"</i> is chiefly a translation update, but also |
9d17e2b8 BS |
938 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers |
939 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
940 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
941 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
942 | even worth mentioning). | |

1bbb16e2 | 948 | nano 2.6.0 <i>"Rubicon"</i> fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and |
50070c05 BS |
949 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in |
950 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
951 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
952 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
953 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
954 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
955 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
956 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
957 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
958 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
959 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
960 | ||
961 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
962 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
