2017.07.21 - GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability
to do softwrapping between words -- at whitespace --
instead of always at the edge of the screen. This can
be activated with -a or --atblanks or 'set atblanks'
together with the softwrap option. This release further
fixes a handful of rare display glitches, fixes a build
failure on AIX, harmonizes the quoting rules in the rc
files, and renames the option 'cut' to 'cutfromcursor'
(please update your nanorc files before 2020).

changes have been made for GNU compatibility (like in the
default list of shortcuts: "^G Get Help" is now listed
and "^_ Goto Line" is not). The Yes/No/All keys have
finally been internationalized also. All in all, quite
a few changes, considering nano is supposed to be in

bugfixes, a nasty bug when cutting text in -k mode and

<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>2.8.5</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>
