+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.

+GNU nano 2.7.5 "Nijntje" can properly search and replace
+the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things
+when multiline regexes with identical start and end are
+involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches,
+does replacements at the edges of a marked region right,
+no longer hides double-width characters at the head of
+softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at
+startup, and documents the ability to read a file from
+standard input.  Come tickle my ears.
