+<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>

+<li>With <Alt+Insert> any line can be "tagged" with an anchor, and<br>
+ <Alt+PageUp> and <Alt+PageDown> will jump to the nearest anchor.<br>
+ When using line numbers, an anchor is shown as "+" in the margin.</li>
+<li>The Execute Command prompt is now directly accessible from the<br>
+ main menu (with <tt>^T</tt>, replacing the Spell Checker). The Linter,<br>
+ Formatter, Spell Checker, Full Justification, Suspension, and<br>
+ Cut-Till-End functions are available in this menu too.</li>
+<li>On terminals that support at least 256 colors, nine new color<br>
+ names are available: pink, purple, mauve, lagoon, mint, lime,<br>
+ peach, orange, and latte. These do not have lighter versions.</li>
+<li>For the color names red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta,<br>
+ white, and black, the prefix 'light' gives a brighter color.<br>
+ Prefix 'bright' is deprecated, as it means both bold AND light.</li>
+<li>All color names can be preceded with "bold," and/or "italic,"<br>
+ (in that order) to get a bold and/or italic typeface.</li>
+<li>With <tt>--bookstyle</tt> (or <tt>-O</tt> or 'set bookstyle') nano considers any<br>
+ line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph.</li>
+<li>Refreshing the screen with <tt>^L</tt> now works in every menu.</li>
+<li>In the main menu, <tt>^L</tt> also centers the line with the cursor.</li>
+<li>Toggling the help lines with <tt>M-X</tt> now works in all menus except<br>
+ in the help viewer and the linter.</li>
+<li>At a filename prompt, the first <Tab> lists the possibilities,<br>
+ and these are listed near the bottom instead of near the top.</li>
+<li>Bindable function 'curpos' has been renamed to 'location'.</li>
+<li>Long option <tt>--tempfile</tt> has been renamed to <tt>--saveonexit</tt>.</li>
+<li>Short option <tt>-S</tt> is now a synonym of <tt>--softwrap</tt>.</li>
+<li>The New Buffer toggle (<tt>M-F</tt>) has become non-persistent. Options<br>
+ <tt>--multibuffer</tt> and 'set multibuffer' still make it default to on.</li>
+<li>Backup files will retain their group ownership (when possible).</li>
+<li>Data is synced to disk before "... lines written" is shown.</li>
+<li>The raw escape sequences for <tt>F13</tt> to <tt>F16</tt> are no longer recognized.</li>
+<li>Distro-specific syntaxes, and syntaxes of less common languages,<br>

+ distros and others may wish to move wanted syntaxes one level up.</li>
+<li>Syntaxes for Markdown, Haskell, and Ada were added.</li>
