+ + + +2016 December 12 + +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. + + + +2016 October 29 + +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! + + + +2016 September 1 + +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. + + + +2016 August 10 + +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! + + + +2016 July 28 + +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! + + + +2016 June 27 + +nano 2.6.1 "Stampede" is chiefly a translation update, but also +adds one little feature (the ability to use negative numbers +with Go To Line: -1 meaning the first line from the bottom), +includes syntax highlighting for Rust, and fixes three tiny +bugs (but in such far corners of the editor that they aren't +even worth mentioning). + + + +2016 June 17 + +nano 2.6.0 "Rubicon" fixes more than fifty little bugs -- and +some of them not so little. It improves moving about in +the file browser, corrects failings of the internal spell +checker, adds a new feature (comment/uncomment lines, with +default binding M-3), makes some error messages clearer, +shows more of a file when positionlog is used and the cursor +is near the end, displays all error messages at startup if +there are multiple ones, does not misinterpret keystrokes +when typing very fast, is less eager to trim the filename +on narrow terminals, speeds up case-insensitive searches, +and allows to abort re-searches. Among bunches of other +things. It is worth the trouble to upgrade. + +And, with this release, we take leave of the herd... +Bye! And thanks for all the grass! + + |
