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

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

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

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

81 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
82 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
83 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
84 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
85 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
86 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
87 | ||
88 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
89 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
90 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

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

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

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

137 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
138 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
139 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
140 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
141 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
142 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
143 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
144 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
145 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
146 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
147 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
148 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
149 | ||
150 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
151 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
