+GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight
+during interactive replacing, avoids build failures on AIX
+and Solaris, fixes a crash on Solaris, speeds up backwards
+searching, improves PHP syntax highlighting, and no longer
+asks "save anyway?" when the user ^Q discards the buffer.

+GNU nano 2.8.2 "Krats" adds another new feature: it makes
+the ^G help texts searchable with ^W. Apart from that,
+it fixes a crash when resizing the window in the middle
+of verbatim input, avoids an unlikely crash when used
+without UTF-8 support in some locales, avoids redrawing
+the screen twice when switching between buffers while
+line numbers are active, and works around a coloring
+bug on musl. Plus tweaks to the documentation; plus
+translation updates for fifteen languages.

+
+GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and
+on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when
+double-width characters on row boundaries are involved,
+shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split
+across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at
+the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half"
+of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of
+only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End
+go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that
+support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when
+linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open
+an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down
+in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands.

+GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in
+softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from
+visual row to visual row instead of jumping between
+logical lines, and the Home and End keys now move to
+the start and end of a row, and only when already
+there, then to the start and end of the logical line.
+Furthermore, the screen can now scroll per row instead
+of always per logical line. On an entirely different
+front: nano now makes use of gnulib, to make it build
+on more platforms. In short: there were many internal
+changes, not many user-visible ones (apart form the
+new softwrap navigation). The conversion to gnulib
+was done by Mike Frysinger, the softwrap overhaul by
+David Ramsey.

+GNU nano 2.7.5 "Nijntje" can properly search and replace
+the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things
+when multiline regexes with identical start and end are
+involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches,
+does replacements at the edges of a marked region right,
+no longer hides double-width characters at the head of
+softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at
+startup, and documents the ability to read a file from
+standard input. Come tickle my ears.

+GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly
+manner again (bug was introduced in previous version),
+sets the preferred x position for vertical movements
+more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in
+softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your
+system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of
+the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches.

+GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs:
+your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain
+newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching
+between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes,
+makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a
+Linux console, is more resistant against malformations
+in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is
+typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL.
+Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an
+unlocked file just after saving a new one. That's it.
+Tastes great with thick butter.

+
+GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature:
+the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default)
+a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in
+the current buffer. Besides, this release fixes two bugs
+related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to
+use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on
+VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering
+during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override
+an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected
+region after an external spell check, and improves a few
+other tidbits. If you should find any more bugs, please
+run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there.

+
+GNU nano 2.7.1 "Leuven" adds an often-asked-for feature: the
+ability to display line numbers beside the text. This can
+be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line,
+or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with
+M-#. The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the
+option 'set numbercolor'. This release furthermore fixes
+some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict
+in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer
+as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been
+read into it. Come and check it out!

+
+GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be
+selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys.
+Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny
+terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves
+the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces. Not much,
+but it's time to get it out there.
+
+With this release we return to GNU. For just a little while
+we dreamt we were tigers. But we are back in the herd,
+back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass.

+nano 2.6.3 "Marika" makes the Ctrl+Arrow keys work also on
+a Linux virtual console, takes as verbatim only the very
+first keystroke after M-V, removes any lock files that it
+holds when dying, doesn't abort when a word contains digits
+(when using the default speller), fixes a small sorting bug
+in the file browser, makes searching case-insensitively in
+a UTF-8 locale a little faster, and doesn't enter invalid
+bytes when holding down both Alt keys. Santé!

+
+nano 2.6.2 "Le vent nous portera" adds two new features: the
+keystrokes Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for jumping between blocks
+of text, and the option 'wordchars' for specifying which
+characters (beside alphanumeric ones) should be considered
+word-forming. Further, it provides feedback during Unicode
+input (M-V followed by a six-digit hexadecimal number which
+must start with 0 or 10), avoids a crash when resizing the
+window during Verbatim input, doesn't drop a keystroke after
+having been suspended, and replaces the beginning-of-line
+anchor (^) just once per line. There are also several tiny
+improvements in screen rendering and key handling.
+Come get your hair tousled!
