+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.

 <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>
