+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
+ - ^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.
