IMPROVEMENTS

@@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ Improvements in GNU nano
 ========================
 
 Since 5.0:
+  - A search highlights the found text, in black on yellow by default.
   - Option --minibar reduces the interface to a bottom bar with basic info.
   - The cursor skips over combining characters, <Del> deletes them together
     with the character they combine with, but <Bsp> deletes them separately.

NEWS

+2021.02.24 - GNU nano 5.6 "Wielewaal"
+• A search match gets highlighted (in black on yellow by default),
+  in addition to placing the cursor at the start of the match.
+  The color combination can be changed with 'set highlightcolor'.
+  By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but
+  it can be forced on with --showcursor / 'set showcursor'.
+• Option --markmatch / 'set markmatch' has been removed.
+• Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar
+  only when option --constantshow / 'set constantshow' is used,
+  and their display can be toggled with M-C.
+• The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option
+  --stateflags / 'set stateflags' is used.
+
 2021.01.14 - GNU nano 5.5 "Rebecca"
 • Option 'set minibar' makes nano suppress the title bar and instead
   show a bar with basic editing information at the bottom: file name

 <h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
 <blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program &quot;establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host&quot;, and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
 <h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
