+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 March 24 - GNU nano 4.0 "Thy Rope of Sands"
+
+- 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"
-
- - An overlong line is no longer automatically hard-wrapped.
- - Smooth scrolling (one line at a time) has become the default.
- - A newline character is no longer automatically added at end of buffer.
- - The line below the title bar is by default part of the editing space.
- - Option --breaklonglines (-b) turns automatic hard-wrapping back on.
- - Option --jumpyscrolling (-j) gives the chunky, half-screen scrolling.
- - Option --finalnewline (-f) brings back the automatic newline at EOF.
- - Option --emptyline (-e) leaves the line below the title bar unused.
- - and now do a linewise scroll instead of a findnext.
- - Any number of justifications can be undone (like all other operations).
- - When marked text is justified, it becomes a single, separate paragraph.
- - Option --guidestripe= draws a vertical bar at the given column.
- - Option --fill= no longer turns on automatic hard-wrapping.
- - When a line continues offscreen, it now ends with a highlighted ">".
- - The halfs of a split two-column character are shown as "[" and "]".
- - A line now scrolls horizontally one column earlier.
- - The bindable functions 'cutwordleft' and 'cutwordright' were renamed to
- 'chopwordleft' and 'chopwordright' as they don't use the cutbuffer.
- - The paragraph-jumping functions were moved from Search to Go-to-Line.
- - Option --rebinddelete is able to compensate for more misbindings.
- - Options --morespace and --smooth are obsolete and thus ignored.
- - The --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option was removed.

+- 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).

+2019 April 24 - GNU nano 4.2 "Tax the rich, pay the teachers"
+
+
+- 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.

+
+
+2019 April 15 - GNU nano 4.1 "Qué corchos será eso?"
+
+
+- By default, a newline character is again automatically added at the
+ end of a buffer, to produce valid POSIX text files by default, but
+ also to get back the easy adding of text at the bottom.
+- The now unneeded option --finalnewline (-f) has been removed.
+- Syntax files are read in alphabetical order when globbing, so that
+ the precedence of syntaxes becomes predictable.
+- In the C syntax, preprocessor directives are highlighted differently.
+- M-S now toggles soft wrapping, and M-N toggles line numbers.
+- The jumpy-scrolling toggle has been removed.
+- The legacy keystrokes ^W^Y and ^W^V are recognized again.
+- Executing an external command is disallowed when in view mode.
+- Problems with resizing during external or speller commands were fixed.
