========================
Since 2.8.0:
- Meta-Up/Meta-Down will search the previous/next occurrence.
- ^U pastes the first line of the cutbuffer at a prompt.
- Softwrapping can be done at whitespace (with --soft --atblanks).
- The ^G help texts have become searchable (with ^W and M-W).
- Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End jump to start and end of file.

2017.08.27 - GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are
wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting
more predictable by retaining relative indentations,
allows pasting (^U) at a prompt, allows triple quotes
in Python to not be followed by a character, does not
scroll three pages on a roll of the mouse wheel, binds
Alt+Up and Alt+Down to findprevious and findnext, and
fixes some hard-to-describe issues with softwrapping
and boundary-crossing tabs. Enjoy.
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

<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>2.8.6</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>
