+GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark
+is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked
+region.  This release further clears the "Modified" flag
+when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic
+strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last
+at line 1, column 1.

+GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and
+replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-;
+to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something
+useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S
+saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a
+forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when
+more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press
+Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the
+options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards',
+makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in
+$XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME
+for the history files, adds a history stack for executed
+commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history
+file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs.

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

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

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

+man page again.
