2018.04.27 - GNU nano 2.9.6 "Gomance" fixes a crash in word completion,
makes --enable-altrcname work again, improves the fluidity
of scrolling when using the touchpad, tweaks the syntaxes
for shell scripts and PO files, makes a replacing session
go always forward by default, no longer inserts a newline
after an external spell check of a selected region, always
accepts the English Y and N (and A) at a yes-no prompt in
any locale, and solves a few hypothetical bugs.
2018.03.29 - GNU nano 2.9.5 "Kiša pada" changes the way the Scroll-Up
and Scroll-Down commands work (M-- and M-+): instead of
keeping the cursor in the same screen position they now

<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>2.9.5</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>
