+ +2019 August 25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag" +

+
    +
  • At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence
    + 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 June 18 - GNU nano 4.3 "Musa Kart" +

+
    +
  • The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.
    • +
  • Startup time is reduced by fully parsing a syntax only when needed.
    • +
  • Asking for help (^G) when using --operatingdir does not crash.
    • +
  • The reading of a huge or slow file can be stopped with ^C.
    • +

    +
  • The integrated spell checker does not crash when 'spell' is missing.
    • +
  • Option --breaklonglines works also when --ignorercfiles is used.
    • +
  • Automatic hard-wrapping is more persistent in pushing words to the
    + same overflow line.
    • +
+


+ +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.
    • +

+ +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.
    • +

  • 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.

+
+GNU nano 3.2 "Het kromme hout" changes the default binding
+for the linter to M-B so that the spell checker (^T) can
+always be used, and changes (when linting) the text in the
+title bar and the color of the status bar to make linting
+mode more obvious.  It also adds a bindable 'zap' function
+for deleting a line or marked region without changing the
+cutbuffer, adds --zap to bind the <Del> and <Backspace>
+keys to the zap function when something is marked, and
+hard-binds <Alt+Del> to 'zap'.  Furthermore, it shows the
+cursor also in the help viewer (when --showcursor is used),
+renames the bindable functions 'prevhistory' to 'older' and
+'nexthistory' to 'newer' (update your nanorcs when needed),
+reads the nanorc files also in restricted mode to allow
+customization by the user (if this should not be allowed,
+use --ignorercfiles in addition to --restricted), allows
+in view mode to open also other files (if this should not
+be allowed, use --restricted in addition to --view), makes
+resizes respect a relative --fill again, no longer binds
+F13...F15 by default, properly re-highlights a misspelled
+word after invoking help in the internal spell checker,
+and does not skip Unicode characters in string binds.

+
+GNU nano 3.1 "Je faisais des bonds comme ça!" fixes a
+misbinding of ^H on some terminals and some systems,
+does not leave stray stuff after the prompt upon exit
+when having suspended nano while using --constantshow,
+and does not allow to toggle to Replace in view mode.

+
+GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the
+reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the
+speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line
+boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next
+word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q
+to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is
+placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed),
+makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct
+number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple
+files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the
+'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to
+'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the
+Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from
+the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert
+menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as
+a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before
+a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape
+sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide
+rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the
+bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to
+'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify.

+GNU nano 2.9.8 "Espresso" brings the ability to filter the
+buffer (or the marked region) through an external command
+(^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is
+better at detecting and maintaining paragraphs, is able to
+justify //-style comments, fixes a crash when the binding
+of a key to a string lacks a closing quote, gives feedback
+about the number of lines written also when prepending or
+appending, and fixes a couple of bugs with the linter.
+
+
+
+2018 May 15
+
+GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends'
+for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word
+ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for
+the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed
+buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the
+until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and
+renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and
+'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the
+corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon.

+
+GNU nano 2.9.6 "Gomance" fixes a crash in word completion,
+makes --enable-altrcname work again, improves the fluidity
+of scrolling when using the touchpad, tweaks the syntaxes
+for shell scripts and PO files, makes a replacing session
+go always forward by default, no longer inserts a newline
+after an external spell check of a selected region, always
+accepts the English Y and N (and A) at a yes-no prompt in
+any locale, and solves a few hypothetical bugs.
+
+
+
+2018 March 29
+
+GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up
+and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of
+keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now
+keep the cursor in the same text position (if possible).
+This version further adds a new color name, "normal",
+which gives the default foreground or background color,
+which is useful when you want to undo some overzealous
+painting by earlier syntax regexes.  Bug fixes include:
+a segfault when trying to insert a file in restricted
+mode, the reading in of a new file being "undoable", a
+slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was
+used, and the shell syntax coloring the word "tar" in
+file names.
+
+
+
+2018 March 8
+
+GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string
+(any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing
+the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors
+those error messages by default in bright white on red,
+makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one
+row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a
+file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any
+cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor
+cannot move.  Further, it treats tabs fully the same as
+spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax
+names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options
+and six deprecated bindable function names.
