+2020 July 29 - GNU nano 5.0 "Among the fields of barley" +
+
    +
  • With --indicator (or -q or 'set indicator') nano will show a kind
    + of scrollbar on the righthand side of the screen to indicate where
    + in the buffer the viewport is located and how much it covers.
    • +
  • With <Alt+Insert> any line can be "tagged" with an anchor, and
    + <Alt+PageUp> and <Alt+PageDown> will jump to the nearest anchor.
    + When using line numbers, an anchor is shown as "+" in the margin.
    • +
  • The Execute Command prompt is now directly accessible from the
    + main menu (with ^T, replacing the Spell Checker). The Linter,
    + Formatter, Spell Checker, Full Justification, Suspension, and
    + Cut-Till-End functions are available in this menu too.
    • +
  • On terminals that support at least 256 colors, nine new color
    + names are available: pink, purple, mauve, lagoon, mint, lime,
    + peach, orange, and latte. These do not have lighter versions.
    • +
  • For the color names red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta,
    + white, and black, the prefix 'light' gives a brighter color.
    + Prefix 'bright' is deprecated, as it means both bold AND light.
    • +
  • All color names can be preceded with "bold," and/or "italic,"
    + (in that order) to get a bold and/or italic typeface.
    • +
  • With --bookstyle (or -O or 'set bookstyle') nano considers any
    + line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph.
    • +
  • Refreshing the screen with ^L now works in every menu.
    • +
  • In the main menu, ^L also centers the line with the cursor.
    • +
  • Toggling the help lines with M-X now works in all menus except
    + in the help viewer and the linter.
    • +
  • At a filename prompt, the first <Tab> lists the possibilities,
    + and these are listed near the bottom instead of near the top.
    • +
  • Bindable function 'curpos' has been renamed to 'location'.
    • +
  • Long option --tempfile has been renamed to --saveonexit.
    • +
  • Short option -S is now a synonym of --softwrap.
    • +
  • The New Buffer toggle (M-F) has become non-persistent. Options
    + --multibuffer and 'set multibuffer' still make it default to on.
    • +
  • Backup files will retain their group ownership (when possible).
    • +
  • Data is synced to disk before "... lines written" is shown.
    • +
  • The raw escape sequences for F13 to F16 are no longer recognized.
    • +
  • Distro-specific syntaxes, and syntaxes of less common languages,
    + have been moved down to subdirectory syntax/extra/. The affected
    + distros and others may wish to move wanted syntaxes one level up.
    • +
  • Syntaxes for Markdown, Haskell, and Ada were added.
    • +
+

+ +2020 May 23 - GNU nano 4.9.3 "Almendras" +

+
+ One more bug introduced in version 4.9 is fixed: a crash when
+ the terminal screen is resized while at a lock-file prompt. +
+

+ +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 <Enter> 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.
