2018.09.09 - GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the
reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the
speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line
boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next
word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q
to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is
placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed),
makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct
number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple
files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the
'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to
'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the
Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from
the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert
menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as
a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before
a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape
sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide
rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the
bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to
'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify.
2018.06.02 - GNU nano 2.9.8 "Espresso" brings the ability to filter the
buffer (or the marked region) through an external command
(^R^X and prefix the command with the pipe symbol, "|"), is

<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>2.9.8</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>
