21 | GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified | |
22 | state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved | |
23 | somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic | |
24 | linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows | |
25 | the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames | |
26 | the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will | |
27 | now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing | |
28 | (and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words | |
29 | to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes | |
30 | <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, | |
31 | allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a | |
32 | region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting | |
33 | or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes | |
34 | the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked | |
35 | (which makes for a more intuitive behavior). | |

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

52 | GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and | |
53 | replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; | |
54 | to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something | |
55 | useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S | |
56 | saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a | |
57 | forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when | |
58 | more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press | |
59 | Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the | |
60 | options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', | |
61 | makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in | |
62 | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME | |
63 | for the history files, adds a history stack for executed | |
64 | commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history | |
65 | file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. | |

71 | GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are | |
72 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
73 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
74 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
75 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
76 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
77 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
78 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
79 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

83 | 2017 July 21 | |
84 | ||
85 | GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability | |
86 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- | |
87 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
88 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
89 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
90 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
91 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
92 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
93 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

99 | GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from | |
100 | a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows | |
101 | negative line and column numbers on the command line, | |
102 | avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while | |
103 | in the file browser, opens files in the order they were | |
104 | mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to | |
105 | have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT. | |

111 | GNU nano 2.8.4 "Our Version of Events" includes the nanorc | |
112 | man page again. | |

116 | 2017 May 18 | |
117 | ||
118 | GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight | |
119 | during interactive replacing, avoids build failures on AIX | |
120 | and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards | |
121 | searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer | |
122 | asks "save anyway?" when the user ^Q discards the buffer. | |

127 | ||
128 | GNU nano 2.8.2 "Krats" adds another new feature: it makes | |
129 | the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that, | |
130 | it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle | |
131 | of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used | |
132 | without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing | |
133 | the screen twice when switching between buffers while | |
134 | line numbers are active, and works around a coloring | |
135 | bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus | |
136 | translation updates for fifteen languages. | |

140 | 2017 April 12 | |
141 | ||
142 | GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and | |
143 | on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when | |
144 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
145 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split | |
146 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at | |
147 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
148 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
149 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
150 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
151 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
152 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
153 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
154 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

160 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
161 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
162 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
163 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
164 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
165 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
166 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
167 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
168 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
169 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
170 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
171 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
172 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
173 | David Ramsey. | |

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

192 | ||
193 | GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly | |
194 | manner again (bug was introduced in previous version), | |
195 | sets the preferred x position for vertical movements | |
196 | more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in | |
197 | softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your | |
198 | system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of | |
199 | the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches. | |

204 | ||
205 | GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs: | |
206 | your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain | |
207 | newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching | |
208 | between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes, | |
209 | makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a | |
210 | Linux console, is more resistant against malformations | |
211 | in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is | |
212 | typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL. | |
213 | Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an | |
214 | unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it. | |
215 | Tastes great with thick butter. | |

220 | ||
221 | GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature: | |
222 | the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default) | |
223 | a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in | |
224 | the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs | |
225 | related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to | |
226 | use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on | |
227 | VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering | |
228 | during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override | |
229 | an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected | |
230 | region after an external spell check, and improves a few | |
231 | other tidbits. If you should find any more bugs, please | |
232 | run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there. | |

237 | ||
238 | GNU nano 2.7.1 "Leuven" adds an often-asked-for feature: the | |
239 | ability to display line numbers beside the text. This can | |
240 | be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line, | |
241 | or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with | |
242 | M-#. The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the | |
243 | option 'set numbercolor'. This release furthermore fixes | |
244 | some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict | |
245 | in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer | |
246 | as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been | |
247 | read into it. Come and check it out! | |
248 | ||
249 | ||

251 | 2016 September 1 | |
252 | ||
253 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
254 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
255 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
256 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
257 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
258 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
259 | ||
260 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
261 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
262 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |
263 | ||
264 | ||
265 | ||
266 | 2016 August 10 | |
267 | ||
268 | nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on | |
269 | a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very | |
270 | first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it | |
271 | holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits | |
272 | (when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug | |
273 | in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in | |
274 | a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid | |
275 | bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé! | |
276 | ||
277 | ||
278 | ||
279 | 2016 July 28 | |
280 | ||
281 | nano 2.6.2 "Le vent nous portera" adds two new features: the | |
282 | keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks | |
283 | of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which | |
284 | characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered | |
285 | word-forming. Further, it provides feedback during Unicode | |
286 | input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which | |
287 | must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the | |
288 | window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after | |
289 | having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line | |
290 | anchor (^) just once per line. There are also several tiny | |
291 | improvements in screen rendering and key handling. | |
292 | Come get your hair tousled! | |
293 | ||
294 | ||
295 | ||
296 | 2016 June 27 | |
297 | ||
298 | nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also | |
299 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers | |
300 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
301 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
302 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
303 | even worth mentioning). | |
304 | ||
305 | ||
306 | ||
307 | 2016 June 17 | |
308 | ||
309 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
310 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
311 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
312 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
313 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
314 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
315 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
316 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
317 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
318 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
319 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
320 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
321 | ||
322 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
323 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
