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

  36 GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be
  37 selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys.
  38 Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny
  39 terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves
  40 the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces.  Not much,
  41 but it's time to get it out there.
  42
  43 With this release we return to GNU.  For just a little while
  44 we dreamt we were tigers.  But we are back in the herd,
  45 back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass.

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

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

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

  92 nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and
  93 some of them not so little.  It improves moving about in
  94 the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell
  95 checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with
  96 default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer,
  97 shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor
  98 is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if
  99 there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes
 100 when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename
 101 on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches,
 102 and allows to abort re-searches.  Among bunches of other
 103 things.  It is worth the trouble to upgrade.
 104
 105 And, with this release, we take leave of the herd...
 106 Bye!  And thanks for all the grass!
