+2017.08.27 - GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are

 2017.07.21 - GNU nano 2.8.6 "Kekulé" offers a new feature: the ability

 		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>
