+GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability
+to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace --
+instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can
+be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks'
+together with the softwrap option. This release further
+fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build
+failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc
+files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor'
+(please update your nanorc files before 2020).

+
+GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from
+a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows
+negative line and column numbers on the command line,
+avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while
+in the file browser, opens files in the order they were
+mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to
+have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT.

+GNU nano 2.8.4 "Our Version of Events" includes the nanorc
+man page again.

+
+GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight
+during interactive replacing, avoids build failures on AIX
+and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards
+searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer
+asks "save anyway?" when the user ^Q discards the buffer.

+
+GNU nano 2.8.2 "Krats" adds another new feature: it makes
+the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that,
+it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle
+of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used
+without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing
+the screen twice when switching between buffers while
+line numbers are active, and works around a coloring
+bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus
+translation updates for fifteen languages.

+
+GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and
+on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when
+double-width characters on row boundaries are involved,
+shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split
+across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at
+the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half"
+of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of
+only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End
+go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that
+support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when
+linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open
+an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down
+in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands.

+
+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.

+
+GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly
+manner again (bug was introduced in previous version),
+sets the preferred x position for vertical movements
+more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in
+softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your
+system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of
+the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches.

+
+GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs:
+your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain
+newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching
+between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes,
+makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a
+Linux console, is more resistant against malformations
+in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is
+typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL.
+Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an
+unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it.
+Tastes great with thick butter.
