+2022 April 28 - GNU nano 6.3 "Wat zullen we drinken? Wat een dorst!"
+
+
+- For multiline regexes, text is now colored as soon a start match
+ is found, also when there is no end match at all.
+- The colorizing of any line is stopped after two thousand bytes,
+ to avoid frustrating delays.
+- When environment variable NO_COLOR is set, the two default colors
+ (yellow for the spotlight, red for error messages) are suppressed
+ when no interface colors are specified in a nanorc file.
+- Full justification and piping the whole buffer through a command
+ now keep the cursor at the same line number.
+- Utility xsel can be used to copy a marked region to the system's
+ clipboard. See doc/sample.nanorc for an example.
+ |
+
+
+2022 February 18 - GNU nano 6.2 "Kamperfoelie"
+
+
+- The file browser clears the prompt bar also when using --minibar.
+- Linting now works also with a newer 'pyflakes'.
+ |
+
+
+2022 February 9 - GNU nano 6.1 "Rețelele de socializare sunt ca un frigider"
+
+
+- The behavior of ^K at a prompt has been enhanced: when there
+ is text after the cursor, just this text is erased. (In the usual
+ situation, however, when the cursor is at the end of the answer,
+ the behavior is as before: the whole answer is erased.)
+- At a prompt, M-6 copies the current answer into the cutbuffer.
+- Large external pastes into nano are handled more quickly.
+ |
+
+
+2021 December 15 - GNU nano 6.0 "Humor heeft ook zijn leuke kanten"
+
+
+- Option --zero hides the title bar, status bar and help lines, and
+ uses all rows of the terminal as editing area. The title bar and
+ status bar can be toggled with M-Z.
+- Colors can now be specified also as three-digit hexadecimal numbers,
+ in the format #rgb. This picks from the 216 index colors (that most
+ terminals know) the color that is nearest to the given values.
+- For users who dislike numbers, there are fourteen new color names:
+ rosy, beet, plum, sea, sky, slate, teal, sage, brown, ocher, sand,
+ tawny, brick, and crimson.
+- Suspension is enabled by default, invokable with ^T^Z. The options
+ -z, --suspendable, and 'set suspendable' are obsolete and ignored.
+ (In case you want to be able to suspend nano with a single keystroke,
+ you can put 'bind ^Z suspend main' in your nanorc.)
+- When automatic hard-wrapping is in effect, pasting just a few words
+ (without a line break) will now hard-wrap the line when needed.
+- Toggling Append or Prepend clears the current filename.
+- The word count as shown by M-D is now affected by option --wordbounds;
+ with it, nano counts words as 'wc' does; without it (the new default),
+ words are counted in a more human way: seeing punctuation as space.
+- The YAML syntax file is now actually included in the tarball.
+ |
+
+
+
+2021 October 6 - GNU nano 5.9 "El manicomio ha decidido: mañana sol!"
+
+
+- The extension of a filename is added to the name of a corresponding
+ temporary file, so that spell checking a C file, for example, will check
+ only the comments and strings (when using 'aspell').
+- The process number is added to the name of an emergency save file,
+ so that when multiple nanos die they will not fight over a filename.
+- Undoing a cutting operation will restore an anchor that was located
+ in the cut area to its original line.
+- When using --locking, saving a new buffer will create a lock file.
+- Syntax highlighting for YAML files has been added.
+ |
+
+
+2021 June 15 - GNU nano 5.8 "Why is it necessary to be special?"
+
+
+- After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8
+ seconds with --quick) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.
+- A + and a space before a filename on the command line will put
+ the cursor at the end of the corresponding buffer.
+- Linter messages no longer include filename and line/column numbers.
+- Color name "grey" or "gray" can be used instead of "lightblack".
+- The color of the minibar can be chosen with 'set minicolor'.
+ |
+
+
+2021 April 29 - GNU nano 5.7 "Toți ceilalți arau câmpurile"
+
+
+- The output of --constantshow (without --minibar) is more stable.
+- When opening multiple buffers and there is an error message, this
+ message is shown again upon first switch to the relevant buffer.
+- The position and size of the indicator now follow actual lines,
+ instead of visual lines when in softwrap mode, meaning that the
+ size of the indicator can change when scrolling in softwrap mode.
+ |
+
+
+2021 March 3 - GNU nano 5.6.1 "Geelgors"
+
+
+- Search matches are properly colorized in softwrap mode too.
+- Option 'highlightcolor' has been renamed to 'spotlightcolor'.
+ |
+
+
+2021 February 24 - GNU nano 5.6 "Wielewaal"
+
+
+- A search match gets highlighted (in black on yellow by default),
+ in addition to placing the cursor at the start of the match.
+ The color combination can be changed with 'set highlightcolor'.
+ By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but
+ it can be forced on with --showcursor / 'set showcursor'.
+- Option --markmatch / 'set markmatch' has been removed.
+- Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar
+ only when option --constantshow / 'set constantshow' is used,
+ and their display can be toggled with M-C.
+- The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option
+ --stateflags / 'set stateflags' is used.
+ |
+
+
+2021 January 14 - GNU nano 5.5 "Rebecca"
+
+
+- Option 'set minibar' makes nano suppress the title bar and instead
+ show a bar with basic editing information at the bottom: file name
+ (plus an asterisk when the buffer is modified), the cursor position
+ (line,column), the character under the cursor (U+xxxx), the flags
+ that --stateflags normally shows, plus the percentage of the buffer
+ that is above the cursor.
+- With 'set promptcolor' the color combination of the prompt bar can
+ be changed, to allow contrasting it with the mini bar (which always
+ has the same color as the title bar).
+- Option 'set markmatch' highlights the result of a successful search
+ by putting the mark at the end of the match, making the match more
+ visible. It also suppresses the cursor until the next keystroke.
+ (If you dislike the hiding of the cursor, use 'set showcursor'.)
+- The bindable toggle 'nowrap' has been renamed to 'breaklonglines',
+ to match the corresponding option, like for all other toggles.
+- Support for Slang has been removed.
