2019.04.15 - 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.
2019.03.24 - 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.

<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>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>4.0</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>

<h3><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!</h3>
