IMPROVEMENTS

@ -2,6 +2,8 @@ Improvements in GNU nano
========================
Since 5.0:
- Option --minibar reduces the interface to a bottom bar with basic info.
- Option --markmatch marks the search result, for better visibility.
- The cursor skips over combining characters, <Del> deletes them together
with the character they combine with, but <Bsp> deletes them separately.
- For using libmagic the option --magic or -! or 'set magic' is required.

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
(plus an asterisk when the buffer is modified), the cursor position
(line,column), the character under the cursor (U+xxxx), the flags
that --stateflags normally shows, plus the percentage of the buffer
that is above the cursor.
• With 'set promptcolor' the color combination of the prompt bar can
be changed, to allow contrasting it with the mini bar (which always
has the same color as the title bar).
• Option 'set markmatch' highlights the result of a successful search
by putting the mark at the end of the match, making the match more
visible. It also suppresses the cursor until the next keystroke.
(If you dislike the hiding of the cursor, use 'set showcursor'.)
• The bindable toggle 'nowrap' has been renamed to 'breaklonglines',
to match the corresponding option, like for all other toggles.
• Support for Slang has been removed.
2020.12.02 - GNU nano 5.4 "Terre des hommes"
• Moving the cursor now skips over combining characters (and other
zero-width characters). Deleting a character deletes also any

<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>5.4</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>
