+2021 April 29 - GNU nano 5.7 "Toți ceilalți arau câmpurile"
+
+
+- The output of --constantshow (without --minibar) is more stable.
+- When opening multiple buffers and there is an error message, this
+ message is shown again upon first switch to the relevant buffer.
+- The position and size of the indicator now follow actual lines,
+ instead of visual lines when in softwrap mode, meaning that the
+ size of the indicator can change when scrolling in softwrap mode.
+ |
+
+
+2021 March 3 - GNU nano 5.6.1 "Geelgors"
+
+
+- Search matches are properly colorized in softwrap mode too.
+- Option 'highlightcolor' has been renamed to 'spotlightcolor'.
+ |
+
+
+2021 February 24 - GNU nano 5.6 "Wielewaal"
+
+
+- A search match gets highlighted (in black on yellow by default),
+ in addition to placing the cursor at the start of the match.
+ The color combination can be changed with 'set highlightcolor'.
+ By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but
+ it can be forced on with --showcursor / 'set showcursor'.
+- Option --markmatch / 'set markmatch' has been removed.
+- Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar
+ only when option --constantshow / 'set constantshow' is used,
+ and their display can be toggled with M-C.
+- The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option
+ --stateflags / 'set stateflags' is used.

+
+2021 January 14 - GNU nano 5.5 "Rebecca"
+
+
+- Option 'set minibar' makes nano suppress the title bar and instead
+ show a bar with basic editing information at the bottom: file name
+ (plus an asterisk when the buffer is modified), the cursor position
+ (line,column), the character under the cursor (U+xxxx), the flags
+ that --stateflags normally shows, plus the percentage of the buffer
+ that is above the cursor.
+- With 'set promptcolor' the color combination of the prompt bar can
+ be changed, to allow contrasting it with the mini bar (which always
+ has the same color as the title bar).
+- Option 'set markmatch' highlights the result of a successful search
+ by putting the mark at the end of the match, making the match more
+ visible. It also suppresses the cursor until the next keystroke.
+ (If you dislike the hiding of the cursor, use 'set showcursor'.)
+- The bindable toggle 'nowrap' has been renamed to 'breaklonglines',
+ to match the corresponding option, like for all other toggles.
+- Support for Slang has been removed.

+
+2020 December 2 - GNU nano 5.4 "Terre des hommes"
+
+
+- Moving the cursor now skips over combining characters (and
+ other zero-width characters). Deleting a character deletes
+ also any succeeding zero-width characters, but backspacing
+ deletes just one character at a time.
+ |
+
+
+2020 October 7 - GNU nano 5.3 "Revolution!"
+
+
+- Option 'set stateflags' makes nano show the state of auto-indenting,
+ the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the
+ title bar. The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified
+ buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name.
+- Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the type
+ of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because
+ in most cases it is a waste of time. It requires using the option
+ --magic or -! or 'set magic' to make nano try libmagic.
+- The color of the indicator can be changed with 'set scrollercolor'.

+2020 August 24 - GNU nano 5.2 "Ranrapalca"
+
+
+- Making certain replacements after a large paste does not crash.
+- Hitting a toggle at the Search prompt does not clear the answer.
+- Using --positionlog does not complain at the first start.
+- A macro containing a Search command will not sometimes fail.
+ |
+
+
+2020 August 12 - GNU nano 5.1 "Cantabria"
+
+
+- M-Bsp (Alt+Backspace) deletes a word backwards, like in Bash.
+- M-[ has become bindable. (Be careful, though: as it is the
+ starting combination of many escape sequences, avoid gluing
+ it together with other keystrokes, like in a macro.)
+- With --indicator and --softwrap, the first keystroke in an
+ empty buffer does not crash.
+- Invoking the formatter while text is marked does not crash.
+- In UTF-8 locales, an anchor is shown as a diamond.
