+2018 September 9 + +GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the +reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the +speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line +boundaries are deleted, makeswipe the next +word and the preceding word, binds M-Q +to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is +placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed), +makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct +number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple +files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the +'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to +'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the +Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from +the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert +menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as +a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of before +a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape +sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide +rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the +bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to +'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify. + + + +2018 June 2 + +GNU nano 2.9.8 "Espresso" brings the ability to filter the +buffer (or the marked region) through an external command +(^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is +better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to +justify //-style comments, fixes a crash when the binding +of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback +about the number of lines written also when prepending or +appending, and fixes a couple of bugs with the linter. + + + +2018 May 15 + +GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends' +for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word +ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for +the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed +buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the +until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and +renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and +'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the +corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon. + + + +2018 April 27 + +GNU nano 2.9.6 "Gomance" fixes a crash in word completion, +makes --enable-altrcname work again, improves the fluidity +of scrolling when using the touchpad, tweaks the syntaxes +for shell scripts and PO files, makes a replacing session +go always forward by default, no longer inserts a newline +after an external spell check of a selected region, always +accepts the English Y and N (and A) at a yes-no prompt in +any locale, and solves a few hypothetical bugs. + + + +2018 March 29 + +GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up +and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of +keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now +keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible). +This version further adds a new color name, "normal", +which gives the default foreground or background color, +which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous +painting by earlier syntax regexes. Bug fixes include: +a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted +mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a +slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was +used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in +file names. + + + +2018 March 8 + +GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string +(any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing +the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors +those error messages by default in bright white on red, +makes at the bottom of the screen scroll just one +row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a +file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any +cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor +cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as +spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax +names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options +and six deprecated bindable function names. + + + +2018 January 29 + +GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks +that could occur when a typed space caused the word after +it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros +work also when your keyboard still emits escape sequences, +adds the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line, +recognizes key combos with Shift on a few more terminals, +no longer shows dots in certain prompt texts when visible +whitespace is turned on, fixes two corner cases when doing +replacements in a marked region, allows to open a named +pipe again when using --noread, and accurately detects +a needed color change when a line contains a start match +but not a corresponding end match any more. Plus some +other small fry. + + + +2018 January 2 + +GNU nano 2.9.2 "Pussy Riot" correctly displays the Modified +state when undoing/redoing (also when the file was saved +somewhere midway), improves the undoing of an automatic +linefeed at EOF, fixes a build issue on the BSDs, shows +the cursor again when compiled with --withslang, renames +the option 'justifytrim' to 'trimblanks' because it will +now snip trailing whitespace also while you are typing +(and hard-wrapping is enabled), continues pushing words +to the next line much longer (when hard-wrapping), makes +<Tab> and <Shift+Tab> indent and unindent a marked region, +allows unindenting when not all lines are indented, lets a +region marked with Shift persist when indenting/unindenting +or commenting/uncommenting it, and in those cases excludes +the last line of the region when it is not visibly marked +(which makes for a more intuitive behavior). + + + +2017 November 27 + +GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark +is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked +region. This release further clears the "Modified" flag +when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic +strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last +at line 1, column 1. + + + +2017 November 18 + +GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and +replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; +to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something +useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S +saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a +forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when +more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press +Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the +options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards', +makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in +$XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME +for the history files, adds a history stack for executed +commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history +file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs. + + + +2017 August 27 + +GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are +wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting +more predictable by retaining relative indentations, +allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes +in Python to not be followed by a character, does not +scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds +Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and +fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping +and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. + + + +2017 July 21 + +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). + + + +2017 June 25 + +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. + + + 2017 May 21 -GNU nano 2.8.4 includes the nanorc man page again. +GNU nano 2.8.4 "Our Version of Events" includes the nanorc +man page again. @@ -51,7 +261,7 @@ translation updates for fifteen languages.
