+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.

1.5. Why the name change from TIP?
On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", 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).
1.6. What is the current version of nano?
-The current version of nano *should* be 1.3.8. Of course you should always check the nano homepage to see what the latest and greatest version is.
