Benno Schulenberg 1878168ae3 tweaks: condense the description of how to report a bug
The list of bugs is quite short these days, and most of them are
feature requests, so asking the user to check whether a particular
problem has already been reported doesn't make much sense.
2020-12-25 16:45:31 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 545709a165 weeding: remove some obsolete information from the README
The distinction between a stable series (even minor number) and
a development series (uneven) was abandonned five years ago.
This information is no longer helpful.
2020-12-25 16:34:08 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 1b65d39722 docs: insert links to the mailing-list archives into the README
To make those archives easier to find.

2020-10-11 16:44:40 +02:00

Benno Schulenberg 3fe17e0355 docs: adjust the wording of the README to be factually correct
That is: don't say that nano doesn't change the file contents by default.

Also, correct the style of the preceding paragraph.
2019-04-28 10:35:27 +02:00
Benno Schulenberg 38e3318e5f tweaks: reword the description of the disadvantages of Pico
Also reword a list of features to exclude the ones that only
make sense when contrasting nano with Pico.
2019-01-25 11:00:51 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 6aad99bd81 docs: stop implying that nano wants to be fully compatible with Pico 2019-01-25 10:50:14 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 2404474dce tweaks: change a bunch of URLs to use 'https' instead of 'http' 2018-11-11 14:46:23 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 2a17527381 tweaks: indenting text files with tabs is not a good idea
The tabsize can vary by configuring editor or viewer, but
the text has some kind of intended alignment.

Also, change the indentation a bit, to make things line up
more neatly.
2018-01-09 16:51:16 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 754c62c5cc copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.
