+2017 August 27 + +GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are +wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting +more predictable by retaining relative indentations, +allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes +in Python to not be followed by a character, does not +scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds +Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and +fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping +and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy. + + + +2017 July 21 + +GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability +to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace -- +instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can +be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks' +together with the softwrap option. This release further +fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build +failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc +files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor' +(please update your nanorc files before 2020). + + + +2017 June 25 + +GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from +a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows +negative line and column numbers on the command line, +avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while +in the file browser, opens files in the order they were +mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to +have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT. + + + +2017 May 21 + +GNU nano 2.8.4 "Our Version of Events" includes the nanorc +man page again. + + + +2017 May 18 + +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. + + + +2017 May 4 + +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. + + + +2017 April 12 + +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. + + + +2017 March 31 + +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. + + + +2017 February 23 + +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. + + + +2017 January 10 + +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. + + + +2016 December 28 + +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. + + + 2016 December 12 GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature:
