21 | GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are | |
22 | wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting | |
23 | more predictable by retaining relative indentations, | |
24 | allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes | |
25 | in Python to not be followed by a character, does not | |
26 | scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds | |
27 | Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and | |
28 | fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping | |
29 | and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. | |

35 | GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability | |
36 | to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- | |
37 | instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can | |
38 | be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' | |
39 | together with the softwrap option. This release further | |
40 | fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build | |
41 | failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc | |
42 | files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' | |
43 | (please update your nanorc files before 2020). | |

49 | GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from | |
50 | a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows | |
51 | negative line and column numbers on the command line, | |
52 | avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while | |
53 | in the file browser, opens files in the order they were | |
54 | mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to | |
55 | have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT. | |

68 | GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight | |
69 | during interactive replacing, avoids build failures on AIX | |
70 | and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards | |
71 | searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer | |
72 | asks "save anyway?" when the user ^Q discards the buffer. | |

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

92 | GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and | |
93 | on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when | |
94 | double-width characters on row boundaries are involved, | |
95 | shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split | |
96 | across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at | |
97 | the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half" | |
98 | of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of | |
99 | only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End | |
100 | go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that | |
101 | support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when | |
102 | linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open | |
103 | an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down | |
104 | in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands. | |

110 | GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in | |
111 | softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from | |
112 | visual row to visual row instead of jumping between | |
113 | logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to | |
114 | the start and end of a row, and only when already | |
115 | there, then to the start and end of the logical line. | |
116 | Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead | |
117 | of always per logical line. On an entirely different | |
118 | front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build | |
119 | on more platforms. In short: there were many internal | |
120 | changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the | |
121 | new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib | |
122 | was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by | |
123 | David Ramsey. | |

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

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

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

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

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

202 | ||
203 | GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be | |
204 | selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys. | |
205 | Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny | |
206 | terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves | |
207 | the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much, | |
208 | but it's time to get it out there. | |
209 | ||
210 | With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while | |
211 | we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd, | |
212 | back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass. | |

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

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

247 | ||
248 | nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also | |
249 | adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers | |
250 | with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), | |
251 | includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny | |
252 | bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't | |
253 | even worth mentioning). | |
254 | ||
255 | ||
256 | ||
257 | 2016 June 17 | |
258 | ||
259 | nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and | |
260 | some of them not so little. It improves moving about in | |
261 | the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell | |
262 | checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with | |
263 | default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, | |
264 | shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor | |
265 | is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if | |
266 | there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes | |
267 | when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename | |
268 | on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, | |
269 | and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other | |
270 | things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. | |
271 | ||
272 | And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... | |
273 | Bye! And thanks for all the grass! | |
