+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.

 <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>
