2015.01.06 - GNU nano 2.3.99pre1 "Junior" is released. As the first
2.4 release candidate there will be fewer new features

fixes and improvements, and documentation formatting updates.
As always please report bugs via the Savannah bug page for
nano (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano), so we can
release a super awesome and bug-free 2.4.0 soon!

(in particular man page) fixes, and a few touch ups
to syntax highlighting definitions. Oh, just one
more thing, thanks for using nano!
2014.07.11 - GNU nano 2.3.5 "lucky day" is released. This release
contains many visible and under-the-hood fixes for
components such as file locking, more fixes to the
undo system, and you no longer have to explicitly ask
nano to have undo/redo support as it now defaults to
being enabled. Other notable fixes include a better
handling of --tempfile mode, and better handling of
command line arguments when also attempting to specify
+<line number>. As always, please file any bugs you
find at the Savannah page for nano, at
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?42639 and
thanks for using nano.
2014.06.02 - GNU nano 2.3.4 won't leave you high, won't leave you dry. This
release contains only a small number of fixes, but in
particular allows nano to compile on non-UTF8 curses
implementations (i.e. libncursesw). Other small fixes to
the undo implementation and the default syntax config are
also included. As always, Share and Enjoy!
2014.05.28 - GNU nano 2.3.3 is in its right place. This release contains
many many improvements to the core system, including
substantial improvements to the undo/redo code, UTF-8
handling, the configure script, and display of shortcuts
on very wide terminals, New features include the
ability to write to named pipes (--noread), as well as
linter support (see the nanorc man page for details). Also
included are much improved syntax highlighting code, and
configurations for JSON, texinfo, Go, and a default syntax
for catch all highlighting. Finally, nano now has the
ability to set the color of the title bar, status bar, and
shortcut keys (e.g. "^X") and their descriptions. Again
see the nanorc page for details. There's much more, too
much to include here, but please keep those reports and
general feedback coming! Thank you for helping us help
you help us all.
2013.03.22 - GNU nano 2.3.2 "Annoy your coworkers for fun and profit" is
released. This release introduces vim-style file locking
(though not backup/restore), useful when using nano
in a multi-editor environment. Feedback is welcome if
you run into any issues with this new code. Other new
features include additional support for word boundary
checking when cross compiling, fixes for trying to go to
an invalid line number, and the usual documentation
tweaks.
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 brings 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 flag, 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.
* Replace PKG_LEGACY_OPTS with PKG_OPTIONS_LEGACY_OPTS
Changelog:
2010.11.22 - GNU nano 2.2.6 "Pimp my BBS" wants you to go to
www.desertbus.org and donate a few bucks for the great
Child's Play Charity! This is just a small release to
update a bug where restricted mode was not particularly
restricted since key bindings were introduced. It also
signals the return of win32 builds which now feature
nanorc support; please see the FAQ for details of how
to enable it, this feature is a bit of a kludge for now.
Remember that when all else fails, USE SPACE JUMP.
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.
Based on patch provided by Jason White in PR 37133.
* Added patch to work with NetBSD's curses.
* Added ncuesesw option.
