+2020 October 7 - <b>GNU nano 5.3</b> "Revolution!"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>Option 'set stateflags' makes nano show the state of auto-indenting,<br>
+  the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the<br>
+  title bar.  The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified<br>
+  buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name.</li>
+<li>Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the type<br>
+  of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because<br>
+  in most cases it is a waste of time.  It requires using the option<br>
+  <tt>--magic</tt> or <tt>-!</tt> or 'set magic' to make nano try libmagic.</li>
+<li>The color of the indicator can be changed with 'set scrollercolor'.</li>
