+ +2019 April 24 - GNU nano 4.2 "Tax the rich, pay the teachers" +

+
    +
  • 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.
    • +
  • 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.
    • +

+
+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.
