2011.05.10 - GNU nano 2.3.1 "I'm in space" is released. This release includes some fixes for the new libmagic code, as well as a fix for improper character counts when using auto-indent. Also included are new syntax highlighting definitions for RPM spec and lua files. Thanks for using nano and keep circulating the tapes. 2011.02.26 - GNU nano 2.3.0 "Septic surprise" is released. This first release in the 2.3 unstable series bring several new features. First, libmagic support for syntax highlighting has been added on top of the existing file extension and header support already available. Secondly, cursor position can be saved between editing sessions with the -P or --poslog command line flags, or via "set poslog" in your .nanorc. Also included are some fixes for compilation with g++, and better handling of issues writing the backup file, which should reduce the need for the 'set allow_insecure_backup" nanorc option. Don't stop, get it get it, don't stop, get it get it. 2010.08.05 - GNU nano 2.2.5 "Inactivity timeout" is now available. This release includes slightly less restrictive checkng when writing files in strange environments (e.g. when being used out of crontab). For very strange situations (such as where you cannot change the permissions on the file you're writing, there is a new rc file option "allow_insecure_backup" to be even more permissive and allowing the write to proceed. Also included are some syntax highlighting updated, and that is about it. Keep fighting the good fight children. 2010.04.15 - GNU nano 2.2.4 is nobody's fool. First and foremost, this relase includes some security fixes due to an assessment of nano's vulnerability to symlink attacks on open files. The CVEs fixed with this release are CVE-2010-1160 and CVE-2010-1161. Also included are fixes for various crash modes when using the spell checker on new files in multibuffer mode (surely you've used that combination recently? No?) as well as a fixing the 'file was modified' message when saving to a new filename (since how would nano know?). And the list would not be complete without our third-times-the-charm fixes to page up/down due to the soft wrapping code. The lone new feature included is a new syntax higlighting definition for cmake-related files. Please do consider upgrading to this release if still using the 2.0 series since fixes for that version are still forthcoming. 2010.02.11 - GNU nano 2.2.3 "fumbling toward stability" is released. This release contains a fix for only one bug, but a rather irritating one: when paging up/down with smooth scrolling, the cursor position was not being preserved due to a bug in 2.2.2. With such a targeted fix like this what could POSSIBLY go WRONG? Hahaha. Enjoy and if you find new bugs, as always please use Savannah's bug tracker. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=nano 2010.01.17 - GNU nano 2.2.2 is released for you, you, you. This release includes fixes for: crashed when writing backup files in certain conditions, improper screen centering when moving up/down in various combination of smooth scrolling and soft wrapping modes, a search crash on the armel arch, and issues with lots of keybinding customizations causing crashing particularly on FreeBSD. Also included are better help menu entries for forward/back in the file browser, some man page tweaks and one assert fix. As always, share and enjoy! 2009.12.12 - GNU nano 2.2.1 "DLR strikes back" is open for business. This release fixes many bugs, including: missing keybindings for page up/down and GotoDir in the browser, ^P/^N in the help menu, and restoration of M-W as the default re-search binding. Other fixes include several issues with compiler warnings and configure options, and documentation updates, including the nano texinfo manual, nano and nanorc man pages, and UPGRADE file, and some missing syntax highliting entries for the saple nanorc. And no release would be complete without the latest round of 'final' soft wrapping fixes! Finally, nano will no longer print a warning when attempting to insert the contents of a read-only file into an existing buffer. Enjoy and Happy Hanukkah. 2009.11.30 - GNU nano 2.2.0 "Doc Brown" is released! The culmination of almost two years of development and hot on the heels of nano's 10th birthday is available for all your editing needs! Bugs fixed since the last release include several fixes for tiny mode (involving both the help keys and replace menu text), more 'final' fixes for soft wrapping, and several typo and documentation updates including nanorc tweaks and a new syntax highlighting file for makefiles. Also included is a long standing fix for random crashing when using nanorc on FreeBSD, and nano will no longer clear the screen on suspend to maintain compatibility with other *nix editors. For those who haven't been playing along at home, please see the official web page for the summary of new features since 2.0. Special thanks to all who have submitted bug reports recently in support of our new stable release, and apologies for all those bugs we didn't yet find :-) Peace to all. 2009.11.21 - GNU nano 2.1.99pre2 is available for a special pre-Black Friday discount. Included are some (hopefully final) fixes for issues with last page display caused by the soft wrapping code, and a fix for a long standing issue with hittig the home key when going through the search history. On the features front, nano will now attempt to retain the proper ownership and permissions when trying to create a .save file due to receiving a signal. Nano can also now unbind keys from one or more menus via the 'unbind' keyword. Finally, passing --fill or --nowrap on the command line will now override any related .nanorc entries. Speak now or forever hold your bugs! 2009.11.15 - GNU nano 2.1.99pre1 "take a bow" is out there, man, it's out there all right. This release contains mainly bugfixes, underscoring that we are preparing for the next stable series release. Included are many fixes for the new soft wrapping code, compiler warning tweaks, and the modification time warning no longer triggers when saving a file as a new name. Also include are some fixes for various nanorc options, and there are surely more bugs to find before we call the code base stable, so please keep those reports coming! 2009.09.14 - GNU nano 2.1.11 is on very thin ice, very thin ice, very thin ice. This release includes two new features: first, nano will check whether the current file is writable when it is opened, and warn if it is not on the status bar. Secondly, a new soft-wrapping (AKA full line display) option is available, which will attempt to fully display the contents of lines longer than the width of the screen without the usual truncation and a '$' symbol at the end of the line. It can be enabled via Meta-$ inside the editor, via the -$ or --softwrap command line flags, or "set softwrap" in your .nanorc). As always please report any bugs to the nano Savannah project page (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=nano) Remember: data loss happens, back up your files. 2009.07.28 - GNU nano 2.1.10 "Ellie" is released. This version includes various fixes for portability including some older HP-UX compiler combos, various compiler warnings, and some crash fixes in the undo code. On the topic of the latter item, the undo code is now marked as experimental since it can cause severe stability and memory issues, and thus now requires a flag (-u, --undo) in order to enable it. Please feel free to continue to test the undo code and thanks again for using nano for your text editing needs. Go team Nano! 2009.02.16 - GNU nano 2.1.9 wonders what all that glass is doing on the floor! This release is primarily meant as a less buggy version of 2.1.8, particularly for issues with the new sped-up syntax highlighting code. Other fixes include configure-time detection of groff HTML support before attempting to generate the HTML version of man pages, and using ~ or ~username syntax in .nanorc should now work again. Also, nano will now only ask for one acknowledgement of errors it encounters when parsing nanorc files, and a new flag -q (--quiet) will silence these messages altogether. Give it a go, and happy birthday lenny! 2009.02.07 - GNU nano 2.1.8 "unsafe at any speed" is released. This release include some long overdue performance improvements in syntax color highlighting, the ability to abort running searches (useful mainly when editing very large files) and the ability to use nano like a pager for viewing standard input (i.e. "nano -"). Additionally, there are gentoo syntax highlighting updates and fixes for issues with reading files in a directory with strange parent directory permissions. The key bindings code was also substantially changed in order to be more ISO-C compatible. Be sure to use the Savannah page not only for bug reports but for any features you would like to see before the next stable series is released. Have fun with it! 2008.11.10 - GNU nano 2.1.7 "Effingham" is ready to make good on those campaign promises of lower bug rates and 50% more pie. This release includes a new check for external modifications when saving a file, some code and documentation cleanups, and more bug fixes for the new undo code (but we continue to welcome your bug reports via the Savananh bug page at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=nano. Come get some. 2008.10.03 - GNU nano 2.1.6 was for new features before it was against them. This release includes more undo capability, several new syntax highlighting configurations including Objective C, OCaml, and Fortran, and a new capability to activate highlighting based on the 1st line of the file being edited. Also, the new default configure options now include color syntax highlighting, .nanorc support, multibuffer and extras. These items can still be disabled and are not enabled with --enable-tiny. Bug fixes include better signal handling under Cygwin, and that's about it. Again please remember to submit bug reports via Savannah at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=nano as undo functions certainly need more testing. Bon appetit. 2008.08.30 - GNU nano 2.1.5 is ready to lead on day one. This release contains a better fix for incorrectly reported successful writes on full filesystems, more helpful messages when an internal error occurs in the undo code, and fixes for various combinations of configure-time options and compiler flags. Also included is new support for changing the rc file name at configure time, and using GNU-style regexes for word-boundaries on systems which do not support them natively, as well as the ever popular translation updates. Rock the tarball. 2008.08.09 - GNU nano 2.1.4 "I told you so!" is released. This release includes fixes for several severe issues with the new undo/redo code. Also the behavior of writing files when using backup mode has changed as well: if writing the backup file fails, nano will not attempt to write the current file. This should help folks who enjoy "extreme text editing" i.e. editing files on file systems which are likely to run out of space; see Savannah bug 24000. Have fun with it! 2008.08.04 - GNY nano 2.1.3 "least stable version ever" is released. This release includes new (and experimental) undo and redo functionality for most text operations. The default key bindings are Meta-U for undo and Meta-E for redo, but these can be remapped using the new 2.1 keybinding code. Also included are some fixes for configuring using wide curses, crashing when invoking the help menu with certain locales, and not saving the search history when compiled with configure options. 2008.04.24 - GNU nano 2.1.2 "New York City" is released. This release contains fixes for binding bad keys, some configure-specific compilation failures, and more issues with the new input back end and in particular the status bar. Also fixed are some long standing issues with compiling on AIX, and a segfault when making the terminal window too small. Rest in Peace Tim and George! 2008.04.01 - GNU nano 2.1.1 wont get fooled again. This release contains fixes for the new user-rebindable keys (in particular bracket match which was mis-bound), and various problems with translations and configure-related compilation problems are now fixed as well. It also contains new syntax highlighting definitions for TCL, PHP, Gentoo and Debian-related files, and some documentation updates as well. Please continue to send reports with the key binding code to the Savannah page (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano). 2008.03.18 - GNU nano 2.1.0 "under old mismanagement" is released. This first release in the 2.1 development series introduces rebinadble keys for most actions inside the editor. Please see the nanorc(5) page for more information on configuring key bindings. Please also report all keybinding bugs (crashes, missing menu functions) using the Savannah bug tracker URL, https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano and thanks for sticking with us! 2007.12.20- GNU nano 2.0.7 keeps its balance. This release fixes several bugs, among others: a segfault and several cursor positioning problems when uncutting text or inserting files into the current buffer; a problem where the total number of characters would be miscalculated when replacing single-byte characters with multibyte ones; several minor issues with the statusbar prompt involving text display and mouse support; and several oddities when tab-completing in the middle of a line. It also improves autodetection of DOS and Mac format files, properly supports the mouse wheel when using a version of ncurses built with the --enable-ext-mouse option, fixes some problems under NetBSD curses, adds a lot of translation updates, and adds more minor documentation updates. Slang curses emulation support has also been changed to turn off all the options that --enable-tiny does, as it's hopelessly broken otherwise. Finally, nano is now licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 or later, and its documentation is now dual-licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 or later and the GNU FDL version 1.2 or later. Have fun. 2007.04.26- GNU nano 2.0.6 "that was quick" is released. This release fixes a potential segfault after justifying text marked from the bottom up. It also adds one more minor documentation update. Enjoy. 2007.04.22- GNU nano 2.0.5 braces for impact. Among other things, this release fixes various problems (including a segfault) when trying to open or save a file in a directory beginning with "~" that isn't a home directory; fixes a problem where a file with no name could be saved over an existing filename with no warning about overwriting it; properly disallows opening directories or device files from "include" commands in nanorc files; no longer displays a misleading prompt when trying to save in restricted mode with the mark on; and properly supports the Cancel and Shift-Cancel keys. It also improves several color syntaxes to highlight trailing whitespace, just as the Java syntax does, and adds yet more minor documentation updates. Have fun. 2007.04.06 - GNU nano 2.0.4 heralds the dawn. This release contains proper support for the Ctrl-[arrow key], Shift-[arrow key], and F13-F16 keys under Xfce's Terminal. It also adds still more minor documentation updates. Enjoy. 2007.01.29 - GNU nano 2.0.3 flows toward its ending. This release contains several minor optimizations to make the executable a little smaller under some circumstances, some translation updates, improvements to the color syntax for Python, and still more minor documentation updates. Have fun. 2006.12.20 - GNU nano 2.0.2 forges ahead. This release fixes a segfault when trying to save in a nonexistent directory; fixes handling of strings containing nulls at the "Write File", "Insert File", "Execute Command", and "Go to Directory" prompts; fixes several minor memory leaks; fixes two more potential compilation warnings; adds a few translation updates; and adds a few more minor documentation updates. Enjoy. 2006.11.20 - GNU nano 2.0.1 emerges from its cocoon. This release contains several bugfixes: saving one file over another will now always warn about overwriting it, overwriting a file is no longer possible when saving a new file in restricted mode, and zero-length Unicode characters are now highlighted properly when nano is built without regular expression support. It also adds several minor documentation updates. Have fun with it. 2006.11.06 - GNU nano 2.0.0 does its little dance. This release adds documentation updates and a few cosmetic tweaks. For those who haven't been following nano 1.3 development, there are a ton of new features, including support for UTF-8, moving to a specified line and column instead of just a line, improved color syntax highlighting, inserting previously untypeable characters using "Verbatim Input" mode, and copying text into the cutbuffer without cutting it. There are also fixes for some long-standing bugs, such as the "NumLock glitch" from nano 1.2.x, and the inability to unjustify text after resizing. Finally, there are also a ton of translation updates and new translations, as well as new color syntaxes. See the UPGRADE file for more information, and enjoy the new stable release. 2006.10.25 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre3 learns to appreciate life. This release fixes a bug where the screen sometimes wouldn't be updated properly after copying text into the cutbuffer, fixes a potential warning while compiling, and fixes a few other minor inconsistencies. Have fun. 2006.10.02 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre2 crosses the threshold. This release fixes a few more bugs: cursor positioning after leaving the statusbar prompt has been fixed, and verbatim input at the statusbar prompt now properly handles newlines. Enjoy. 2006.08.29 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre1 passes through the flames. This release fixes various bugs in the last version: the mouse support properly ignores everything except clicks of the left mouse button; the statusbar is now blanked properly when it should be; indenting and unindenting operate on the current line when the mark is off; nano should build on Tru64, NetBSD, and other systems that use termcap instead of terminfo in their curses libraries; the built-in file browser now properly navigates file lists that take up only one row; the cursor position is now completely restored after inserting a file into the current buffer, and after inserting the output of a command into a new buffer; the ^X shortcut at the search prompt has been removed, as official Pico doesn't include it and it's too easily confused with Exit; the screen is updated properly after scrolling a line without moving the cursor; the keyboard input routines behave more consistently; and so on. Have fun with it. 2006.06.26 - GNU nano 1.3.12 escapes the darkness. This release contains the last new features that nano will have before 2.0: copying text into the cutbuffer without cutting it, indenting lines of marked text with a single keystroke, reworked help text that should be easier for new users, searching for filenames in the file browser, the ability to include color regexes in files separate from nanorc files, etc. It also contains many bugfixes. Text can now be unjustified after justifying it and resizing the window; the screen is now cleared when suspending; the "default" color syntax is now handled properly at all times; lines of text containing tabs are now wrapped at the right place; double-column characters are now properly displayed when past the right edge of the screen; invalid multi-line color regexes are now ignored; and so on. Enjoy. 2006.03.30 - GNU nano 1.3.11 awakens from its fever dream. This release focuses mostly on bugfixes, which include better handling of the cursor at the statusbar prompt, support for certain combinations of Shift and keypad keys in both normal and --rebind-keypad mode, a fix for a minor display problem after some searches, a real fix for a long-standing segfault when displaying overly long lines, and a real fix for nano's not hanging up properly in xterm under certain circumstances. There are also several new features, such as the ability to set the characters used as brackets when searching for matching brackets, and tab completion of directories at the "Go To Directory" prompt. Have fun. 2005.12.23 - GNU nano 1.3.10 rises to the surface. This release contains several new features as well as fixes for several longstanding bugs. The former include the ability to scroll up or down single lines without scrolling the cursor, reworked bracket searching code that doesn't require regular expression support, reworked command execution code that uses $SHELL if available instead of hardcoding "/bin/sh", and the ability to no longer add newlines to files that don't end in them via the -L/--nonewlines option. The latter include fixes to the statusbar prompt so that mouse clicks work properly on it, fixes to the Yes/No/All prompt so that mouse clicks on it work properly when -O/--morespace is used, and fixes to the resize handling so that nano dies properly when the terminal is too small to display a prompt. Enjoy. 2005.10.23 - GNU nano 1.3.9 breaks through the wall. This release includes major enhancements as well as bugfixes. The enhancements include better handling of invalid UTF-8, expansion of the word count option to also count lines and characters in the file or selection, more efficient screen update routines, a readded -K/--rebindkeypad option to work around numeric keypad problems on terminals that don't show the usual NumLock glitch, a new -W/--wordbounds option to properly detect words containing punctuation when moving among them, and massive improvements to the color code such as handling of unspecified foreground colors, more efficient memory usage for color regexes, and new reserved syntaxes "default" and "none". The bugfixes include fixes for the rewritten history code, fixes for potential line numbering problems on 64-bit platforms, fixes for a few long-standing minor display problems, a fix for erroneous hangups occurring while waiting for input, and a fix for a segfault when displaying certain overly long lines. Have fun with it. 2005.06.30 - GNU nano 1.3.8 floats at its own level. This release contains several new features. Among other things, you can now move to a specified column number as well as line number within a file, file backups saved in a backup directory will have unique names, the search and replace history routines should work more consistently, you can get a word count by pressing Meta-D at the edit window, and there's a new -E/--tabstospaces option to convert all typed tabs to spaces (--backupdir's short option has been changed to -C). In terms of bugfixes, this release contains fixes for minor problems with screen updates, UTF-8 display, and flow control; a fix for a segfault when displaying some lines ending with tabs; better handling of constant cursor position display; improved color parsing in the rcfile; and support for the "Regexp" toggle in tiny mode (-R/--regexp is gone, and --restricted's short option has been changed to -R), among other things. Enjoy. 2005.04.10 - GNU nano 1.3.7 claws its way to the top. This release mostly contains bugfixes for the massive amount of new code in 1.3.6. Among other things, nano builds with debug support again; going into the help browser at the "Read File" prompt no longer kicks you out of the prompt after you exit the help browser; paragraph searching no longer skips over certain cases of single-line paragraphs; the titlebar no longer cuts off some UTF-8 strings prematurely; and the text displayed in the help browser is now wrapped as it was in nano 1.2.x, taking UTF-8 support into account. New features include an --enable/disable-utf8 configure option to explicitly turn detection of UTF-8 support on or off, and sample regexes for C++ as well as C. Have fun. 2005.03.20 - GNU nano 1.3.6 "shout it from the rooftops" is released. This release finally includes the long-awaited support for UTF-8. Other new features include the ability to insert UTF-8 characters using verbatim input; the ability to delete all text from the cursor position to the end of the file via ^W^X as (patched) Pico does; improvements to input and output so that pasted text displays faster, improvements to the statusbar prompt so that more edit window shortcuts, including verbatim input and previous/next word search, work in it; a new option to allow using the formerly always-blank second line of the screen as part of the edit window; and the ability to refresh the help browser and file browser windows via Ctrl-L. Notable bug fixes include a fix for a segfault when using full justify, and a fix for the long-standing bug where nano would keep running if the terminal it was in died unexpectedly. Enjoy. 2004.11.22 - GNU nano 1.3.5 hurls itself forward. New features in this release include the ability to replace only marked text when the mark is on, improvements to smooth scrolling so that it applies everywhere instead of just affecting the movement keys, improvements to how files are opened so that they are no longer displayed unnecessarily, support for multiple +LINE arguments in addition to multiple filenames on the command line, autodetection of the format to save a file in based on the format it was in when it was opened, the ability to toggle both ways between the "Read File" and "Execute Command" prompts and the "Search" and "Go to Line" prompts, and support for cross-compiling nano. As for bug fixes, the "tabsize" nanorc option works again, mouse clicks on the shortcut list trigger the right shortcuts again, tab-completing a filename with %'s in it no longer causes a segfault, the internal spell checker no longer skips words after the cursor position when the cursor is in the middle of the file, and spell checking of only marked text now works properly. Have fun with it. 2004.08.17 - GNU nano 1.3.4 marches forth after a false start. This release mainly features fixes for the bugs that crept into the last release. Among other things, nano now compiles again with certain options, quoted justify now works properly on systems without regex.h, full justify no longer segfaults when used on a file with no paragraphs, previous paragraph searching works properly again, tab completion is properly disabled when needed in restricted mode, Ctrl-C is no longer disabled after using the alternate spell checker, the permissions of a newly created file now match those of nano 1.2.x again, and replacing all text in a file now properly updates the screen in all cases. New features include sample regexes for patch files, improvements to the sample regexes for C files, and support for strings greater than 1023 characters and/or containing nulls in .nano_history. Additionally, the full justify keystroke has been changed to match current Pico, and whitespace display mode is now turned off by default. Enjoy. 2004.06.28 - GNU nano 1.3.3 marches forth. There are several new features in this release, including a restricted mode that provides better security than just setting an operating directory, the ability to justify the entire file at once, support for a "smart" home key that can leap from the beginning of text on a line to the true beginning of the line (or the reverse) in one stroke, support for specifying an alternative spell checker in $SPELL, the ability to specify the characters used to display spaces and tabs so that they can easily be told apart, and the ability to specify the characters marking the ends of sentences as used in justification. There are also several bug fixes; among other things, justification now keeps spaces at the ends of all but the last line of a paragraph as Pico does, saving a marked selection no longer changes the current filename to the filename the selection was saved under, resizing now works better and no longer corrupts the screen under slang, and the movement functions now avoid doing unnecessary redraws and hence work faster. In short, there are a lot of new things to play with. Enjoy. 2004.03.31 - GNU nano 1.3.2 is prepared for the void. New features in this release include the ability to spell-check only marked text and the ability to save all backup files in a specified directory instead of wherever the original files are. Bug fixes include a fix for a segfault when replacing certain regular expressions, fixes for some misbehavior when doing searches, minor fixes to verbatim input mode and keyboard input in general, better handling of window resizes at certain times, and allowing the mark to be saved properly again when switching between multiple file buffers. nano has also been ported to the Tandem NonStop Kernel. Have fun. 2004.01.09 - GNU nano 1.3.1 is outside the gates. This release features, among other things, fixes for the input routines to deal with some problems they had, a reorganized shortcut list for the help browser, minor Pico compatibility improvements for the file browser, fixes for misbehavior when replacing certain regular expressions, and the ability to highlight those regular expressions properly. It also allows searching without prompting to work in view mode, adds support for glib 2.x for those systems that need it, updates the .spec file for the 1.3 branch, prompts you first when you try to save a file under a different name, and adds a new verbatim input mode that acts as ^V does under vi, but with additional Pico compatibility (explained in the FAQ). Basically, a bunch of fixes and a few new features for your editor of choice. Enjoy. 2003.10.22 - GNU nano 1.3.0 is loosed upon the world. This is the first release in the unstable 1.3.x series, and as such it includes a lot of new features, including the addition of a -d option for those FreeBSD users with Backspace keys that act like Delete keys, the ability to repeat the last search without prompting, the ability to search for the beginning or end of a paragraph, new smooth paging routines to go with the smooth scrolling routines, and various improvements to the input and display routines to make them behave more intuitively. It also includes the usual load of bugfixes. Enjoy. 2003.08.11 - GNU nano 1.2.2 is released, only four months since the last version :-). This release includes fixes for broken regex detection, search history recall, and keypad handling with -K. Debugging strings are no longer translated and comments denote where translations should be as short as possible (i.e. the statusbar). There are new examples for syntax highlighting, and documentation updates and fixes. The 1.3.0 CVS tree will be opening soon for all your nano desires, so stay tuned! 2003.04.19 - Happy Easter! GNU nano 1.2.1 is released. This release features a new check for broken regexec() implementations and some variable, function and macro cleanups. Fixes are included for search history, cutting marked text, alt keyboard mode, and the usual translation and documentation updates. 2003.02.19 - GNU nano 1.2.0 is released. Few changes from pre3, just some doc and translation updates, and bugfixes for justify and file conversion. For those of you who haven't kept up with the 1.1 unstable series, v1.2 brings nanorc support, color syntax highlighting, multiple file buffers, search/replace history and much much more. Please read the UPGRADE file for details, and enjoy GNU nano 1.2.0. 2003.02.13 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre3 "The last testing version, no really!" is released. This release includes fixes for wrapping (again), resizing, color syntax highlighting, rcfile parsing, the mouse code, more memory leaks, and some reversion of the code to get the user's home directory (nano will now again rely on $HOME). There are also translation updates, a new manual page for the nanorc file, and an UPGRADE file detailing the changes since version 1.0. Please submit reports for any bugs you might find to the development team (nano-devel@gnu.org), and enjoy nano almost-1.2.0 ;-) 2003.02.03 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre2 "bugs in my pockets, bugs in my shoes" is released. There are, not surprisingly, only bugfixes in this release as we move toward the stable 1.2.0 release. Fixes are included for translatable string format, subexpression replacement, constant cursor position, invalid search regexes, justify, screen state on SIGHUP and SIGTERM, cutting to end cuts with long lines, many file browser and operating directory bugs, memory and file descriptor leaks, marker code, spell checker, the mouse code with long lines, multiple buffers and non-file open errors, replacement string length, and a silly but serious history message crash. There is also a drastic improvement in CPU utilization for the color regex code. Depending on the number of bugs found in this release, there may be a 1.1.99pre3 or RC1, or just a 1.2.0 release. Most of the major bugs seem to have been worked out, so if you are waiting for a good time to test nano before the official 1.2.0 release, this would be the one to use. Happy bug hunting! 2003.01.17 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre1 "enough already" has been released. This release is, barring bug fixes and documentation updates, what version 1.2.0 has looked like, feature wise. There will very likely be bugs, just due the volume of changes made in this release. Search and replace string history has been added, including an option to log history to ~/.nano_history (-H, --historylog). Because of this, the Pico incompatible search/replace string behavior that used to be the default has been deleted. The old "pico" flag (-p) is now compatible with Pico's "preserve" mode for allowing flow control characters; by default this version ignores both ^Q and ^S. The --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option has been forward ported from version 1.0.x, and a new flag to enable all extra options (--enable-all) has been added. The internal spell checker has been improved, meaning you will now be prompted only once for each unique capitalization of a given word. There have also been lots of bug fixes, including the "trying to insert a directory name in multibuffer mode bug", the ugly spell checker scrolling, the color code, cutting text crashes, justification, deleting the "magic line" via replace, and cursor positioning on the statusbar. There have also been the usual helping of translation and documentation updates. Please send all new feedback on this release direct to the development list (nano-devel@gnu.org). 10/24/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.12 "Make Jordi happy" is released. This release demonstrates that nano is starting to freeze for version 1.2. New features include a Meta-Y toggle for syntax highlighting, pluralized i18n, and a handler for SIGTERM. Nano now ignores XOFF (^S) to stop accidental lock-ups, and no longer references malloc.h. Also included are fixes for zero-length regex matches, segfaults with --disable-mouse, justification, memory corruption with the browser, version and help cmdline output, and translation updates. Aside from the (currently up in the air) search history behavior, the next version of nano should be 1.1.99pre1. Have fun! 10/01/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.11 "Oddball" is released. This release features a new version of gettext, a new and improved syntax highlighting engine, and some updates for the nanorc.sample file. The toggles for case sensitivity (Meta-C) and regular expressions (Meta-R) have changed in the search and replace prompts, multibuffer status is now displayed and can be toggled from the insert file menu, and some wrapping behavior that changed in 1.1.10 has reverted. The --enable-color warning was also made less severe, as the color syntax code has improved, and nano now uses extended regexes in the .nanorc file. Also included are fixes for various memory leaks, the operating directory option, username tab completion, the page_up and down arrow, go to previous word and next word, nanorc parser and line wrapping code. Have fun! 07/25/2002 - At long last! GNU nano 1.1.10 "What didn't we break?" is released. This version of GNU nano features version 0.11.2 of gettext, building with automake 1.6, some new code for displaying control characters, browser improvements, a new backup file option (-B, --backup), a new option to ignore rc files (-I,--ignorercfiles), compatibility with -pedantic, handling null characters before EOF, a slightly sportier nanorc.sample and more. Fixes are included included for justification, the reading and writing file routines, resizing and fill length, millions of memory leaks, the usage screen was updated, and the the --quotestr and --regexp really work now ;-) Enjoy :) 05/12/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.9 is released, happy Mother's Day! This release includes many new features, including a prepend mode (^O,M-P), a new "syntax" command in the .nanorc to allow multiple syntax highlighting types, and a new -Y, --syntax flag to set a specific one if there's no filename regex to match it against (i.e. w/mutt). The ^space and M-space keys will now show up in the help menu, which itself has been tweaked a bit, and many more configure options should now cooperate (like the odd pairing of --enable-tiny and --enable-multibuffer). The marker should now work when using multiple buffers, and the huge memory leak in color syntax highlighting has been fixed. A lot of new stuff for everyone's favorite text editor ;) Have fun! 03/30/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.8 is released. New features include an "Insert Output of External Command", ^R^X, and a .spec file is now included in the distribution. There are cleanups in the usage code, fixes for regex parsing, the file browser, the NO_CONVERT auto-detect, indented justification, the internal spell checker, and a serious bug where reading a file of 0 lines would hang nano. Also, the "show position" code now shows the starting column as 1 instead of 0. Have fun! 03/05/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.7 "lets change everything and see what breaks" is released. New features include new flags -N,--noconvert to stop any file format conversion and -Q, --quotestr for the new quoted text justification, a new tempnam() implementation to avoid silly warnings, DOS and Mac file options in the Write File dialog, multiple save files (file.1) for abnormal exits, ^C now shows column as well as character position, and multibuffer allows duplicate files, even unnamed ones. Also, the static shortcut and toggle lengths are history, nano now reads SYSCONFDIR/nanorc if rc file support is enabled, and nano is now built with (and requires for rebuilding) autoconf 2.5. This release also includes fixes for some memory leaks, detecting DOS and Mac file format, justification, suspending keys, search & replace under various conditions, variable width for shortcuts, and the usual ton of translation updates. 01/25/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.6 is released. Lots of new features in this release. New Meta-keys were added as alternates for control sequences: Meta-A for the marker key (^^), and Meta-G for the 'goto dir' key in the file browser (^_). The color syntax highlighting now supports multiple lines via start="regex" end="regex" syntax, and the .nanorc regex format itself has changed. Also, the gettext code was upgraded to version 0.10.40, and nano will now display a message if only occurrence of a given search exists. For bugfixes, there are fixes for spelling, stray newlines in the usage() function, suspend issues with tcsh, auto-indent and wrapping clashes, ugly code in rcfile.c, global variable compatibility with AIX. There are also oodles of translation updates. Have fun with it. 01/05/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.5 is out. The main new feature in this release is the changed behavior of the keypad. Nano now does the Right Thing and used keypad() by default. If you wish to use the keypad arrow keys in certain terminals, you may use the -K or --keypad flag to use the old behavior. Users of other OSes should see better handling of their non-keypad keys in this release. Other changes include more Hurd fixes, fixes parsing the .nanorc, display fixes for the color syntax highlighting, gettext stabilization and many translation updates. This is almost like a stable release, much like in the 0.9.x series when every other release was the most stable one :) Have fun! 12/11/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.4 is released. This release contains rudimentary color syntax support (but it's still broken), compatibility fixes for the Hurd and FreeBSD, spell checker and wrapping fixes, and more. It seems that the amount of interest in the code is inversely proportional to the amount of time since last release, so it's time to show the world all the changes since 1.1.3 ;) Have fun with it! 10/26/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.3 is released. As far as new features go, the help system is now available for all functions in the editor. Also, nano will also now print a message on the status bar when it automatically converts a file from Mac or DOS format, and trying to load a file that has already been loaded in multibuffer mode will now also cause an error message. There is now a "goto previous word" which you can use by hitting Meta-Space Bar. As for fixes, a SEVERE bug in the null_at code which discarded the memory address of reallocated memory has been fixed. This is probably the biggest bug fix in well over the last year of development. There are also some display fixes for when the screen shouldn't center itself on cut or uncut text. Also, the comments in the header files incorrectly said that nano was distributed under version 1 of the GPL when the accompanying license was the GPLv2. If you're using nano-1.1, it is highly recommended you upgrade to this release. If using 1.0, wait for version 1.0.6 which should be available early next week. Enjoy! 10/03/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.2 is out there. Many new features in this release, including support for auto-converting from DOS and Mac formatted files, as well as toggles for writing out files in these formats. Pico's -o flag has been implemented, as has some new smooth scrolling code (which can be used in place of the default jerky scrolling behavior). Also, there is now a "find matching bracket/brace/etc" feature (Meta-]). The .nanorc file now accepts setting the tabsize, and the help text at the bottom of the editor is now better spaced out in the search/replace prompts. There are also the usual helping of bugfixes, translation updates and, surely a bug or two. You better get ready! 07/28/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.1 is released. Our second 1.1 unstable release features many bugfixes from the initial release, in particular fixes for the multibuffer code, and various compiler macro fixes. The shortcut lists for the search and replace prompts are a little more logical (with cancel the last option again), and the included gettext was re-downgraded to 0.10.35 due to problems on the PPC platform. GNU nano now includes its own aclocal macros in the m4/ directory to allow rebuilding the configure script to work on platforms regardless of their gettext version. 07/15/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.0 is released. This is the first release in the 1.1.x unstable series of GNU nano. It incorporates all changes up to the 1.0.3 release, and also includes many many new features, including appending to as well as overwriting files, writing marked text to a separate file, dynamic wrap length, lots more compatibility with Pico, and new optional features like .nanorc file support and multiple file buffers! All in all, plenty of new stuff that's sure to introduce lots of bugs ;-) Have fun with it, but be careful, unstable means unstable. 07/01/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.3 is the "mutt" release. This release features oodles of bug fixes with cutting text, especially with the -k (cut to end) option. There is also a new suspend handler which should make nano play better with mutt (the code for which came from mutt itself; many many thanks to Jordi Mallach and Tom Lear for working late into the night fixing this). Nano now also features mutt's case insensitive string compare function for more speed and less memory usage. Two new translations are included, Ukrainian and Russian. 05/12/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.2 is the "just the bugfixes ma'am" release. The most noticeable fixes are for display errors using page up/down with the marker code, and view mode (-v) not stopping the replace function. Other fixes include being able to use the arrow keys while holding down the ctrl key in certain TERMs, and there are many documentation updates and spelling tweaks. We also have a new Galician translation (provided by Jacobo Tarrío). Have fun with it! 04/06/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.1 is out there. The only new feature is a configure option for those who want to disable all word wrapping from nano, --disable-wrapping. Bug fixes this release include some bugs with autoconf and i18n, and several fixes in the file browser including a segfault on Solaris, symlinks to directories now work properly, and nano now sorts files case insensitively like Pilot. Have fun with it. 03/22/2001 - GNU Nano 1.0 is released! The autoindent wrapping bug has been fixed, as well as strange bug when using Pico mode and regex search. There have also been some minor spelling and documentation updates. As stated on the website, there are currently no known bugs with nano, but some will pop up eventually and they will be addressed in subsequent releases. We hope you enjoy this first stable release of nano, and as always, feedback is welcome! nano@nano-editor.org. 02/19/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre3 brings a lot of changes! The most important being that nano is now officially a GNU program. Some changes have been made for GNU compatibility (like the default list of shortcuts, "^G Get Help" is now Listed and "^_ Goto Line" is not). The Yes/No/All keys have finally been internationalized also. All in all, quite a few changes, considering nano is supposed to be in a code freeze. But there are the usual helping of bugfixes, a nasty bug when cutting text in -k mode and some compatibility issues with older ncurses libraries have also been fixed. All in all, a lot to see. 01/31/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre2 is released. Not surprisingly, all that is new is bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes. There were a few cleanups in unneeded global variables and duplicate functions, but most is just fixing. Specifically, there is now a preliminary (read: needs testing) fix for resizing the editor in any mode other than normal edit mode. Other fixes include some more tab completion segfaults, and an silly segfault that occurred when successfully writing a file on the 2nd try (i.e. after an initial write error). Slowly but surely, on toward 1.0 we travel. 01/17/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre1 is released. This is the first pre-1.0 release of nano, and is also the first release since the code freeze for nano 1.0. Don't expect (or request) any new features between now and nano 1.0, only bugfixes, optimizations and doc/translation updates. For fixes, a nasty segfault when trying to insert one's home directory (~), some checks for the NumLock key making the keypad go awry, window size sanity checks, many autoconf fixes, and support for the KDE konsole keypad layout. Have fun. 01/07/2001 - Nano 0.9.25 is the "Just one more feature I swear!" release. It includes one new feature that Pico has had forever, a built-in file browser. Since not everyone may want this option, there is a --disable-browser option to the configure script as well. Other changes include slightly different keypad handling, and a bugfix for crashes when tab completion in certain instances. Have fun and Happy New Year! 12/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.24 is released. This version contains the last of the security fixes for writing files, as well as for a nasty segfault when nano is unable to open a file for reading, among other fixes. Nano also now cowardly refuses to open device files, to stop silly things like trying to open /dev/zero. New features include being Able to use Meta-Meta-<key> as Control-<key>, better HURD support, and some new flags have been added for Pico compatibility. Upgrading to this version is highly recommended. 12/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.23 is the "race conditions bite" release. The main reason for this release is the less-than-optimal fix for the security issue in nano with following symbolic links. Hopefully this will fix the problem permanently. The --nofollow option also works again for those who are real security nuts. There are also some display and search fixes, and the --disable-spell function was renamed to --disable-speller to be in line with nano and Pico's "speller" term. 12/02/2000 - Nano 0.9.22 is released, with many more changes and additions than imaginable. The most important change is a fix for unsafe handling of symbolic links which could lead to symlink attacks if nano were to exit because of an error or signal. Also there are better checks when saving files. As for new features, username tab completion is now working well, the internal spell checker code has been tweaked, you can now unjustify if you don't like how the justify formatted your text, and there are more options for configure, including --disable-spell and --disable-justify and --enable-extra (for those who like surprises). All in all, a whole lot of changes in a little over a week. 11/23/2000 - Happy Thanksgiving! Nano 0.9.21 is our "last version was a big turkey" release. It fixes several bugs introduced by the previous version, as well as a few long- standing display bugs. All 0.9.20 users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release. 11/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.20 is finally out the door. Probably the biggest change is the brand new way nano displays previous search and replace strings (they are now editable!) This is a break from Pico's (inconsistent) interface, so if you don't like the new way, "Pico" mode (-p on the command line or Meta-P within nano) still works the "old" way. Other new features include being able to deal with search strings of any length, a new internal spell feature (courtesy of Mr. Rocco Corsi) and tab completion when reading in or writing out files! There's also the usual billion or so bug fixes. Feedback on this release is welcome because so much has changed, especially with the previous string display in search and replace. Email -> nano@nano-editor.org <-. If you like something, don't like something, or just want to order a pizza, let us know! 10/02/2000 - Nano 0.9.19 is the "Chris is getting married in less than a week and needs a distraction" release. There are only a few actual code changes, mainly portability and compiler warning fixes. Nano now also supports PDCurses, which enables easily-built nano executables for Windows NT and 95/98 for the brave. The official nano site has changed (again) as well, check out www.nano-editor.org for all the latest nano schtuff. 09/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.18 is unleashed. It has some new keyboard handling code, Cygwin support out of the box, and a more portable handler for the NOHELP toggle. There is also a fix for a somewhat serious bug whereby trying to insert a directory instead of a normal file would destroy the contents of the editor. A must-see. Four stars. 09/04/2000 - Nano 0.9.17, the Labor Day release, is released after a quiet spell (almost an entire month since last release!) New features include better (not yet perfect) binary display support and toggle support for most of the program flags (M-c, M-i, M-z, M-x, M-p, M-w, M-m, M-k and M-e for -c, -i, -x, -p, -w, -k, and -R). 08/09/2000 - Nano 0.9.16, after some struggling, is released. This release should fix a few of the holes that 0.9.15 dug. The "cutting text on the first line" bug is fixed, as is the "cutting text on the last line" bug. Nice symmetry there huh? Also the --tabsize argument should now work as well as by using -T. 08/03/2000 - Nano 0.9.15 is the "I can't think of a release description" release. There are the usual gala of display bugfixes, a fix for the the nasty bug in -k mode that could create a loop in the file being edited, and some other code cleanup. Also, the -T option should now work regardless of the curses library used. Yay. 07/27/2000 - Nano 0.9.14 is officially the "13 is so unlucky it should be skipped as a version number" release. One typo caused unending problems (calling nano with either -t or -k caused both flags to be used). The -k code is also now closer in functionality to Pico's -k mode; please note that this code is not finished yet. Working on this code has made me realize that there is not enough abstraction in the code, and I will be working on that for the next release. Until then, have fun with this version. 07/23/2000 - Nano 0.9.13 has a few new bits and bobs, most notably the -k option from Pico (cut to end of line). The majority of changes in this release are bugfixes, however, including the usual display fixes and fixes for writing to symbolic links and un-writable files. Barring any other major changes, this should be the feature set for nano 1.0, whenever it might be released =-) 07/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.12 (The "lucky day" release) is bursting with new features, bug fixes, and yummy fruit flavor. For changes, the alternate replace keystroke ^W^T is now ^W^R to be compatible with later versions of Pico. ^W^T is now goto line, again for Pico compatibility. As for new features, the wonderful/hated magic line code has returned with a vengeance! Also, regular expression searches and replaces have been incorporated via the -R flag. And, of course, there are the usual helping of display and other bug fixes to top it all off. 06/20/2000 - Nano 0.9.11 presents drastic rewrites of the most buggy routines in the program, specifically the wrapping code and almost all of the display routines. There are many improvements and bugfixes to the display subsystem in general, but there may be bugs lurking yet. Also, after many MANY requests, there is now an option to set the displayed tab width (-T, --tabsize). Note that this function just changes the way tabs LOOK in the editor, the tabs you input are still real tabs of normal width (usually 8 characters); nano just makes them look smaller or bigger while in the editor. New in the translation department is an Indonesian translation (id). 06/06/2000 - Nano 0.9.10 is primarily a bugfix for the loss of SIGINT when using "run and terminate" flags (for example, --help). There are also some minor documentation updates. This version of nano is the most stable in quite some time, and is likely to be the most stable for awhile. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version. 05/31/2000 - Nano 0.9.9 introduces much better working i18n support, more portability, and a ton of bugfixes. While nano is not likely anywhere near 1.0 in terms of code quality, it gets a quantum leap closer with this release. 05/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.8 (the 'what broke now?' release) should fix the resize crash people have been experiencing. It also offers a new input method that should allow nano to do things the right way (like ^S, ^Q, custom suspend keys) and hopefully won't break with non-US keyboards. There are also the obligatory display fixes and speedups. Have fun with it. 05/14/2000 - Nano 0.9.7 (the Mother's Day release) continues in the long line of display fixes, and also fixes the broken symlink behavior (i.e. symlinks weren't being followed by default). Hopefully all major bugs can be worked out soon and we can have a 1.0 release before the end of the year, but who knows. 05/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.6 cleans up a lot of the display bugs that 0.9.5 uncovered. There are improvements (and some remaining segfaults) in the wrapping code, and even more display optimizations. I would still say 0.9.4 or 0.9.2 are the most stable versions of nano to date, but this one may not be too bad =-) 05/01/2000 - Nano 0.9.5 attempts to speed up the display of text to be at least somewhat reasonable. Much code profiling has been done to reduce the ridiculous number of redundant display updates. This will probably expose a lot of bugs that can then be fixed, so this release is probably not for the faint of heart. For anyone curious, I would call nano 0.9.2 the most stable version recently, so use that if you're not particularly concerned with being on the bleeding edge. 04/25/2000 - Nano 0.9.4 fixes some problems in 0.9.3 with the last line code and related segfaults. It also now has much better handling for 8-bit characters. The --enable-tiny code also produces a smaller executable. 04/19/2000 - Nano 0.9.3 is officially the "Micro$oft" release. It underscores the recent problem of bugfixes introducing more bugs than they fix. The most important change to this version of nano is the removal of the "magic line". You will no longer see a blank line at the end of the file. If you want a new line at the end of your file, you'll have to hit enter to get one. NOTE: THIS BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH PICO. Unfortunately, this feature has been causing many many problems with nano so it is being removed for the time being, and perhaps indefinitely. Other new stuff includes an --enable-tiny option to make nano ultra small (disabling i18n, detailed help and the marker and mouse code), and --with-slang to use the slang libraries instead of ncurses. 04/15/2000 - Nano 0.9.2 just fixes the serious segfault problem if nano is invoked any way other than using the absolute path. The bug was in the new code for checking whether nano is invoked as 'pico'. 04/14/2000 - 0.9.1 has some more Pico compatibility built-in. The option to switch to/from Search and Search/Replace (^T) is now available, and nano now displays the more Pico-like shortcut list when invoked as 'pico' (i.e. if 'pico' is a symlink to nano). There is an important change to the handling of symbolic links as well. Now, nano does the "correct" thing and automatically writes to the object of the symlink, rather than replace the symlink with the updated file. This behavior is still available with the --nofollow or -l flags. Other new things include a fix for the infamous "recursive replace" bug, and more bugfixes in the wrapping code. 04/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.0 has some updates, new language support and a much better refresh setup (It's still not great, but...) There should also be more stability editing long lines, as there was a stupid mistake in the update_line call. Silly me =) 03/22/2000 - Nano 0.8.9 is basically just a bugfix release of 0.8.8 to reflect the current stagnant status of the project. Most things work, the rest doesn't doesn't work because (a) I can't fix it or I would have already done so, and (b) the amount of patches I'm receiving right now is quite negligible. Fortunately, this release marks the first release since I have acquired ownership of the nano pages on SourceForge. Here's hoping SF will get us some more visibility, translators and patches. 03/12/2000 - After a hiatus, I have finally moved (not unpacked though) to my new home into Albany. Thus I should now have more time to work on nano. Nano 0.8.8, the "dear god what broke this time?" release, incorporates patches for both i18n and many bugfixes. It is VERY likely something broke this version, and it's likely I didn't even apply the i18n stuff properly, so *it* may not even work. I would like to announce that I'm going to need translations soonish, so if you are fluent in other languages than English (or even better, if your native language is not English) and you would like to submit a translation file to me, please feel free to do so. If you do, I will list your name and email in the AUTHORS file as the maintainer of the .po file, and from then on it is yours to take care of and keep up to date. 03/01/2000 - Well, to continue my trend of going back on my previous release's comments, nano 0.8.7 is released. The crashing behavior was still occurring, and this most recent fix also fixes some other wrapping problems, so here you go. There may be another release soon, there may not be, is that vague enough? =) 02/25/2000 - More minor bugfixes in 0.8.6, the bizarre behavior at the end of a page has ceased, thankfully. I'm also moving next weekend, so don't be shocked if you don't see a new version of nano next week =-) 02/11/2000 - Okay, here we go again. Aside from a few minor fixes and some under-the-hood changes, you won't notice much different in this version of nano. I haven't gotten much feedback on the help feature, is it simply amazing or does no one care? Write and let me know! =) 02/08/2000 - Nano 0.8.3 marks the first time in a long time that there has been more than three days since the last release. New features include an initial help mode (YAY!), hopefully much more support for i18n out of the box, and a flag for more Pico compatibility in the shortcut lists displayed. This release also marks the new nano distribution site, http://www.asty.org/nano and email address nano@asty.org for bugs, etc. 02/02/2000 - Okay, I hate to go back on what I said in the last release, but I may be changing jobs very soon. I will release version 0.8.2 as is (no i18n, no help menu (yet). I expect things to settle down by the end of next week, and then I can try to start on the i18n support and help menu; look for these new features in version 0.8.5 to 0.9.0. 01/28/2000 - Nano 0.8.1 marks our first official step toward internationalization (i18n) and the help system (^G). I will be merging in Jordi's patches for initial i18n in the next version, and will implement the help system with i18n built into it shortly after that. Please don't hesitate to send bug reports, as long as you're sure the fault lies with nano =-). 01/25/2000 - Nano 0.8.0 is officially the 'let's try and be at least a little portable, mmmmkay?' release. There are many portability checks and fixes; many thanks to Andy Kahn for his patches. I removed the broken do_spell behavior with the 'spell' program; for now, we only try to call 'ispell' until I write a better method to handle the output of the normal 'spell' command. 01/24/2000 - Nano 0.7.9 features many new features. Among them are a new autoindent feature (-i, --autoindent), tempfile flag like Pico's -t flag (-t, --tempfile), and preliminary spelling program support. The spelling function tries to run 'spell' and then 'ispell' in that order, but you can specify another spelling program with -s or --speller. 01/17/00 - Nano 0.7.7 is officially the 'way too much stuff changed this release' release. It's the busy time at work for me, so please don't get offended if your patch doesn't get included in the next immediate version of nano. I'm sure all the changes in this release will cause a few bugs, so 0.7.8 will primarily be about fixing those bugs. Things added this release include resizability (kinda), new -x and -c flags (see nano -h for help), long command line flag support, and the usual array of bugfixes. 01/15/00 - Nano 0.7.6 is officially the 'lightning' release. It now loads large files much faster than previous versions, and is even much faster than Pico or vi in some rather rudimentary tests. Many thanks to Adam Rogoyski for the read_byte patch! 01/09/00 - As of this version (0.7.4), TIP has officially been renamed to nano. The new homepage is at http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/astyanax/nano. Please update your bookmarks, tell your friends, and all that jazz. $Id: NEWS 4536 2011-02-26 14:28:42Z astyanax $
