2021.06.15 - GNU nano 5.8 "Why is it necessary to be special?"
• After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8
seconds with --quick) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.
• A + and a space before a filename on the command line will put the
cursor at the end of the corresponding buffer.
• Linter messages no longer include filename and line/column numbers.
• Color name "grey" or "gray" can be used instead of "lightblack".
• The color of the minibar can be chosen with 'set minicolor'.
2021.04.29 - GNU nano 5.7 "Toți ceilalți arau câmpurile"

<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>5.7</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>
