+2021 December 15 - <b>GNU nano 6.0</b> "Humor heeft ook zijn leuke kanten"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>Option <tt>--zero</tt> hides the title bar, status bar and help lines, and<br>
+    uses all rows of the terminal as editing area.  The title bar and<br>
+    status bar can be toggled with <tt>M-Z</tt>.</li>
+<li>Colors can now be specified also as three-digit hexadecimal numbers,<br>
+    in the format <tt>#rgb</tt>.  This picks from the 216 index colors (that most<br>
+    terminals know) the color that is nearest to the given values.</li>
+<li>For users who dislike numbers, there are fourteen new color names:<br>
+    rosy, beet, plum, sea, sky, slate, teal, sage, brown, ocher, sand,<br>
+    tawny, brick, and crimson.</li>
+<li>Suspension is enabled by default, invokable with <tt>^T^Z</tt>.  The options<br>
+    <tt>-z</tt>, <tt>--suspendable</tt>, and 'set suspendable' are obsolete and ignored.<br>
+    (In case you want to be able to suspend nano with a single keystroke,<br>
+    you can put 'bind ^Z suspend main' in your nanorc.)</li>
+<li>When automatic hard-wrapping is in effect, pasting just a few words<br>
+    (without a line break) will now hard-wrap the line when needed.</li>
+<li>Toggling Append or Prepend clears the current filename.</li>
+<li>The word count as shown by <tt>M-D</tt> is now affected by option --wordbounds;<br>
+    with it, nano counts words as 'wc' does; without it (the new default),<br>
+    words are counted in a more human way: seeing punctuation as space.</li>
+<li>The YAML syntax file is now actually included in the tarball.</li>
