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