+2020 July 29 - <b>GNU nano 5.0</b> "Among the fields of barley"
+<br>
+<table><tr><td><ul>
+<li>With <tt>--indicator</tt> (or <tt>-q</tt> or 'set indicator') nano will show a kind<br>
+  of scrollbar on the righthand side of the screen to indicate where<br>
+  in the buffer the viewport is located and how much it covers.</li>
+<li>With &lt;Alt+Insert&gt; any line can be "tagged" with an anchor, and<br>
+  &lt;Alt+PageUp&gt; and &lt;Alt+PageDown&gt; will jump to the nearest anchor.<br>
+  When using line numbers, an anchor is shown as "+" in the margin.</li>
+<li>The Execute Command prompt is now directly accessible from the<br>
+  main menu (with <tt>^T</tt>, replacing the Spell Checker).  The Linter,<br>
+  Formatter, Spell Checker, Full Justification, Suspension, and<br>
+  Cut-Till-End functions are available in this menu too.</li>
+<li>On terminals that support at least 256 colors, nine new color<br>
+  names are available: pink, purple, mauve, lagoon, mint, lime,<br>
+  peach, orange, and latte.  These do not have lighter versions.</li>
+<li>For the color names red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta,<br>
+  white, and black, the prefix 'light' gives a brighter color.<br>
+  Prefix 'bright' is deprecated, as it means both bold AND light.</li>
+<li>All color names can be preceded with "bold," and/or "italic,"<br>
+  (in that order) to get a bold and/or italic typeface.</li>
+<li>With <tt>--bookstyle</tt> (or <tt>-O</tt> or 'set bookstyle') nano considers any<br>
+  line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph.</li>
+<li>Refreshing the screen with <tt>^L</tt> now works in every menu.</li>
+<li>In the main menu, <tt>^L</tt> also centers the line with the cursor.</li>
+<li>Toggling the help lines with <tt>M-X<tt> now works in all menus except<br>
+  in the help viewer and the linter.</li>
+<li>At a filename prompt, the first &lt;Tab&gt; lists the possibilities,<br>
+  and these are listed near the bottom instead of near the top.</li>
+<li>Bindable function 'curpos' has been renamed to 'location'.</li>
+<li>Long option <tt>--tempfile</tt> has been renamed to <tt>--saveonexit</tt>.</li>
+<li>Short option <tt>-S</tt> is now a synonym of <tt>--softwrap</tt>.</li>
+<li>The New Buffer toggle (<tt>M-F</tt>) has become non-persistent.  Options<br>
+  <tt>--multibuffer<tt> and 'set multibuffer' still make it default to on.</li>
+<li>Backup files will retain their group ownership (when possible).</li>
+<li>Data is synced to disk before "... lines written" is shown.</li>
+<li>The raw escape sequences for <tt>F13</tt> to <tt>F16</tt> are no longer recognized.</li>
+<li>Distro-specific syntaxes, and syntaxes of less common languages,<br>
+  have been moved down to subdirectory syntax/extra/.  The affected<br>
+  distros and others may wish to move wanted syntaxes one level up.</li>
+<li>Syntaxes for Markdown, Haskell, and Ada were added.</li>
