-2019 April 24 - GNU nano 4.2 "Tax the rich, pay the teachers"
+2020 April 7 - GNU nano 4.9.2 "Mali Lošinj"

+ Another bug introduced in version 4.9 is fixed: a likely crash
+ after undoing an at the end of leading whitespace.

+2020 March 31 - GNU nano 4.9.1 "Sapperdeflap"
+
+
+ Two bugs introduced in version 4.9 are fixed: the cursor
+ getting misplaced when undoing line cuts, and filtering
+ of the whole buffer to a new buffer not working.

+
+
+2020 March 24 - GNU nano 4.9 "die fetten Jahre sind vorbei"
+
+
+- When justifying a selection, the new paragraph and the
+ succeeding one get the appropriate first-line indent.
+- Trying to justify an empty selection does not crash.
+- Redoing the insertion of an empty file does not crash.
+- On the BSDs and macOS, ^H has become rebindable again
+ (in most terminal emulators, not on the console).
+- DOS line endings in nanorc files are accepted.
+- Option --suspend / 'set suspend' has been renamed to
+ the more logical --suspendable / 'set suspendable'.

+2020 February 7 - GNU nano 4.8 "Jaška"
+
+
+- When something is pasted into nano, auto-indentation is suppressed,
+ and the paste can be undone as a whole with a single M-U.
+- When a lock file is encountered during startup, pressing ^C/Cancel
+ quits nano. (Pressing 'No' just skips the file and continues.)
+- Shift+Meta+letter key combos can be bound with 'bind Sh-M-letter'.
+ Making any such binding dismisses the default behavior of ignoring
+ Shift for all Meta+letter keystrokes.
+- The configuration option --with-slang (to be avoided when possible)
+ can now be used only together with --enable-tiny.
+- A custom nanorc file can be specified on the command line, with
+ -f filename or --rcfile=filename.

+2019 December 23 - GNU nano 4.7 "Havikskruid"
+
+
+- A <Tab> will indent a marked region only when mark and cursor are
+ on different lines.
+- Two indentations (any mix of tabs and spaces) are considered the
+ same when they look the same (that is: indent to the same level).
+- When using --breaklonglines or ^J, a line will never be broken in
+ its leading whitespace or quoting.
+- The keywords in nanorc files must be in lowercase.

+
+2019 November 29 - GNU nano 4.6 "And don't you eat that yellow snow"
+
+
+- The 'formatter' command has returned, bound by default to M-F.
+ It allows running a syntax-specific command on the contents of
+ the buffer.
+- ^T will try to run 'hunspell' before 'spell', because it checks
+ spellling for the locale's language and understands UTF-8.
+- Multiple errors or warnings on startup will no longer slow nano
+ down but will be indicated on the status bar with trailing dots.

+
+
+2019 October 4 - GNU nano 4.5 "Košice"
+
+
+- The new 'tabgives' command allows you to specify per syntax what
+ the <Tab> key should produce: some spaces, a hard TAB, ...
+- The output of --help is properly aligned again for all languages.
+- <Tab> will indent a marked region also when M-} has been rebound.

+
+2019 August 25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag"
+
+
+- At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence
+ of a string by preceding the filename with +/string or +?string.
+- When automatic hard-wrapping occurs (--breaklonglines), any leading
+ quoting characters will be automatically copied to the new line.
+- M-6 works again also when the cursor is at end of buffer.
+ |
+
+
+2019 June 18 - GNU nano 4.3 "Musa Kart"
+
+
+- The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.
+- Startup time is reduced by fully parsing a syntax only when needed.
+- Asking for help (^G) when using --operatingdir does not crash.
+- The reading of a huge or slow file can be stopped with ^C.
+- Cut, zap, and copy operations are undone separately when intermixed.
+- M-D reports the correct number of lines (zero for an empty buffer).

- The integrated spell checker does not crash when 'spell' is missing.
- Option --breaklonglines works also when --ignorercfiles is used.
- Automatic hard-wrapping is more persistent in pushing words to the
same overflow line.
