+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8<br>
+ seconds with <tt>--quick</tt>) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.</li>
+<li>A <tt>+</tt> and a space before a filename on the command line will put<br>
+ the cursor at the end of the corresponding buffer.</li>
+<li>Linter messages no longer include filename and line/column numbers.</li>
+<li>Color name "grey" or "gray" can be used instead of "lightblack".</li>
+<li>The color of the minibar can be chosen with 'set minicolor'.</li>

+2021 April 29 - <b>GNU nano 5.7</b> "Toți ceilalți arau câmpurile"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>The output of <tt>--constantshow</tt> (without <tt>--minibar</tt>) is more stable.</li>
+<li>When opening multiple buffers and there is an error message, this<br>
+ message is shown again upon first switch to the relevant buffer.</li>
+<li>The position and size of the indicator now follow actual lines,<br>
+ instead of visual lines when in softwrap mode, meaning that the<br>
+ size of the indicator can change when scrolling in softwrap mode.</li>

+<li>Search matches are properly colorized in softwrap mode too.</li>
+<li>Option 'highlightcolor' has been renamed to 'spotlightcolor'.</li>

+2021 February 24 - <b>GNU nano 5.6</b> "Wielewaal"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>A search match gets highlighted (in black on yellow by default),<br>
+ in addition to placing the cursor at the start of the match.<br>
+ The color combination can be changed with 'set highlightcolor'.<br>
+ By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but<br>
+ it can be forced on with <tt>--showcursor</tt> / 'set showcursor'.</li>
+<li>Option <tt>--markmatch</tt> / 'set markmatch' has been removed.</li>
+<li>Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar<br>
+ only when option <tt>--constantshow</tt> / 'set constantshow' is used,<br>
+ and their display can be toggled with <tt>M-C</tt>.</li>
+<li>The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option<br>
+ <tt>--stateflags</tt> / 'set stateflags' is used.</li>

+2021 January 14 - <b>GNU nano 5.5</b> "Rebecca"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>Option 'set minibar' makes nano suppress the title bar and instead<br>
+ show a bar with basic editing information at the bottom: file name<br>
+ (plus an asterisk when the buffer is modified), the cursor position<br>
+ (line,column), the character under the cursor (U+xxxx), the flags<br>
+ that <tt>--stateflags</tt> normally shows, plus the percentage of the buffer<br>
+ that is above the cursor.</li>
+<li>With 'set promptcolor' the color combination of the prompt bar can<br>
+ be changed, to allow contrasting it with the mini bar (which always<br>
+ has the same color as the title bar).</li>
+<li>Option 'set markmatch' highlights the result of a successful search<br>
+ by putting the mark at the end of the match, making the match more<br>
+ visible. It also suppresses the cursor until the next keystroke.<br>
+ (If you dislike the hiding of the cursor, use 'set showcursor'.)</li>
+<li>The bindable toggle 'nowrap' has been renamed to 'breaklonglines',<br>
+ to match the corresponding option, like for all other toggles.</li>
+<li>Support for Slang has been removed.</li>

+2020 December 2 - <b>GNU nano 5.4</b> "Terre des hommes"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>Moving the cursor now skips over combining characters (and<br>
+ other zero-width characters). Deleting a character deletes<br>
+ also any succeeding zero-width characters, but backspacing<br>
+ deletes just one character at a time.</li>

<br>
<table><tr><td><ul>

<table><tr><td><ul>
<li>The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.</li>
+<li>Opening a file no longer triggers an inotify CLOSE_WRITE event.</li>

<li>Asking for help (<tt>^G</tt>) when using <tt>--operatingdir</tt> does not crash.</li>
<li>The reading of a huge or slow file can be stopped with <tt>^C</tt>.</li>
