+GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be
+selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys.
+Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny
+terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves
+the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces.  Not much,
+but it's time to get it out there.
+
+With this release we return to GNU.  For just a little while
+we dreamt we were tigers.  But we are back in the herd,
+back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass.

+nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on
+a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very
+first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it
+holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits
+(when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug
+in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in
+a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid
+bytes when holding down both Alt keys.  Santé!

+nano 2.6.2 "Le vent nous portera" adds two new features: the
+keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks
+of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which
+characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered
+word-forming.  Further, it provides feedback during Unicode
+input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which
+must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the
+window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after
+having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line
+anchor (^) just once per line.  There are also several tiny
+improvements in screen rendering and key handling.
+Come get your hair tousled!

+nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also
+adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers
+with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom),
+includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny
+bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't
+even worth mentioning).
