2017.06.25 - GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from
a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows
negative line and column numbers on the command line,
avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while
in the file browser, opens files in the order they were
mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to
have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT.
2017.05.21 - GNU nano 2.8.4 includes the nanorc man page again.
2017.05.18 - GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight

<h2><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h2>
<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>
<h2><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h2>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>2.8.4</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>

<h2><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!</h2>
