+ 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 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.

+2019 March 24 - GNU nano 4.0 "Thy Rope of Sands"
+
+
+- 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.
+- <Alt+Up> and <Alt+Down> 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=<number> draws a vertical bar at the given column.
+- Option --fill=<number> no longer turns on automatic hard-wrapping.
+- When a line continues offscreen, it now ends with a highlighted ">".
+- The halves 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.
