68 | GNU nano 3.2 "Het kromme hout" changes the default binding | |
69 | for the linter to M-B so that the spell checker (^T) can | |
70 | always be used, and changes (when linting) the text in the | |
71 | title bar and the color of the status bar to make linting | |
72 | mode more obvious. It also adds a bindable 'zap' function | |
73 | for deleting a line or marked region without changing the | |
67c6d961 | 74 | cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace> |
eb64fc57 | 75 | keys to the zap function when something is marked, and |
67c6d961 | 76 | hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'. Furthermore, it shows the |
eb64fc57 BS |
77 | cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used), |
78 | renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and | |
79 | 'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed), | |
80 | reads the nanorc files also in restricted mode to allow | |
81 | customization by the user (if this should not be allowed, | |
82 | use --ignorercfiles in addition to --restricted), allows | |
83 | in view mode to open also other files (if this should not | |
84 | be allowed, use --restricted in addition to --view), makes | |
85 | resizes respect a relative --fill again, no longer binds | |
86 | F13...F15 by default, properly re-highlights a misspelled | |
87 | word after invoking help in the internal spell checker, | |
88 | and does not skip Unicode characters in string binds. | |

94 | GNU nano 3.1 "Je faisais des bonds comme ça!" fixes a | |
95 | misbinding of ^H on some terminals and some systems, | |
96 | does not leave stray stuff after the prompt upon exit | |
97 | when having suspended nano while using --constantshow, | |
98 | and does not allow to toggle to Replace in view mode. | |

104 | GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the | |
105 | reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the | |
106 | speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line | |
0c351168 BS |
107 | boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next |
108 | word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q | |
3f0eb75c BS |
109 | to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is |
110 | placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed), | |
111 | makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct | |
112 | number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple | |
113 | files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the | |
114 | 'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to | |
115 | 'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the | |
116 | Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from | |
117 | the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert | |
118 | menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as | |
0c351168 | 119 | a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before |
3f0eb75c BS |
120 | a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape |
121 | sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide | |
122 | rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the | |
123 | bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to | |
124 | 'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify. | |

130 | GNU nano 2.9.8 "Espresso" brings the ability to filter the | |
131 | buffer (or the marked region) through an external command | |
132 | (^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is | |
133 | better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to | |
134 | justify //-style comments, fixes a crash when the binding | |
135 | of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback | |
136 | about the number of lines written also when prepending or | |
137 | appending, and fixes a couple of bugs with the linter. | |

143 | GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends' | |
144 | for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word | |
145 | ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for | |
146 | the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed | |
147 | buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the | |
148 | until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and | |
149 | renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and | |
150 | 'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the | |
151 | corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon. | |

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

170 | GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up | |
171 | and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of | |
172 | keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now | |
173 | keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). | |
174 | This version further adds a new color name, "normal", | |
175 | which gives the default foreground or background color, | |
176 | which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous | |
177 | painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: | |
178 | a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted | |
179 | mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a | |
180 | slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was | |
181 | used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in | |
182 | file names. | |

188 | GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string | |
189 | (any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing | |
190 | the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors | |
191 | those error messages by default in bright white on red, | |
0c351168 | 192 | makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one |
c7a92f85 BS |
193 | row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a |
194 | file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any | |
195 | cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor | |
196 | cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as | |
197 | spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax | |
198 | names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options | |
199 | and six deprecated bindable function names. | |

203 | 2018 January 29 |
204 | ||
205 | GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks | |
206 | that could occur when a typed space caused the word after | |
207 | it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros | |
208 | work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, | |
209 | adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, | |
210 | recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, | |
211 | no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible | |
aa32601b | 212 | whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing |
51331e62 BS |
213 | replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named |
214 | pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects | |
215 | a needed color change when a line contains a start match | |
216 | but not a corresponding end match any more. Plus some | |
217 | other small fry. | |

223 | GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified | |
224 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
225 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
226 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
227 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
228 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
229 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
230 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
231 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
690585d0 | 232 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, |
1aac1698 BS |
233 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a |
234 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
235 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
236 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
237 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

241 | 2017 November 27 |
242 | ||
243 | GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark | |
244 | is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked | |
245 | region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag | |
246 | when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic | |
247 | strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last | |
248 | at line 1, column 1. | |

254 | GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and | |
255 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; | |
256 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
257 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
258 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
259 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
260 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
261 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
262 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
263 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
264 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
265 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
266 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
267 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

273 | GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are | |
274 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
275 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
276 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
277 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
278 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
279 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
280 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
281 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

2031a280 | 287 | GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability |
e3e1bf2d BS |
288 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- |
289 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
290 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
291 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
292 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
293 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
294 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
295 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

333 | of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used | |
334 | without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing | |
335 | the screen twice when switching between buffers while | |

346 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
0a09732f | 347 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split |
f2eff274 BS |
348 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at |
349 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
350 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
351 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
352 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
353 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
354 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
355 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
356 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

361 | ||
362 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
363 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
364 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
365 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
366 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
367 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
368 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
369 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
370 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
371 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
372 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
373 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
374 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
375 | David Ramsey. | |

385 | does replacements at the edges of a marked region right, | |
386 | no longer hides double-width characters at the head of | |
387 | softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at | |

412 | Linux console, is more resistant against malformations | |
413 | in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is | |
414 | typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL. | |
415 | Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an | |
416 | unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it. | |
417 | Tastes great with thick butter. | |

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

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

455 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
456 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
457 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
458 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
459 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
460 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
461 | ||
462 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
463 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
464 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

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

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

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

511 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
512 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
513 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
514 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
515 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
516 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
517 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
518 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
519 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
520 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
521 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
522 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
523 | ||
524 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
525 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
