nano-2.7.5

[Douglas R. Reno]

New minor version + point releases.

Bruce, currency script needs to be fixed.

2017 February 23

GNU nano 2.7.5 "Nijntje" can properly search and replace
the \B and \b regex anchors, correctly repaints things
when multiline regexes with identical start and end are
involved, fixes a crash with zero-length regex matches,
does replacements at the edges of a marked region right,
no longer hides double-width characters at the head of
softwrapped rows, displays at most three warnings at
startup, and documents the ability to read a file from
standard input.  Come tickle my ears.



2017 January 10

GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly
manner again (bug was introduced in previous version),
sets the preferred x position for vertical movements
more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in
softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your
system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of
the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches.

GNU nano 2.7.3 "Ontbijtkoek" wipes away a handful of bugs:
your editor is now able to handle filenames that contain
newlines, avoids a brief flash of color when switching
between buffers that are governed by different syntaxes,
makes the Shift+Ctrl+Arrow keys select text again on a
Linux console, is more resistant against malformations
in the positionlog file, and does not crash when ^C is
typed on systems where it produces the code KEY_CANCEL.
Oh, and it no longer mistakenly warns about editing an
unlocked file just after saving a new one.  That's it.
Tastes great with thick butter.



2016 December 12

GNU nano 2.7.2 "Shemesh! Shemesh!" brings another feature:
the ability to complete with one keystroke (^] by default)
a fragment of a word to a full word existing elsewhere in
the current buffer.  Besides, this release fixes two bugs
related to using line numbers in softwrap mode, allows to
use the PageUp and PageDown keys together with Shift on
VTE-based terminals, stops the help lines from flickering
during interactive replacing, makes a 'set fill' override
an earlier 'set nowrap', properly restores the selected
region after an external spell check, and improves a few
other tidbits.  If you should find any more bugs, please
run 'man nano | grep bugs' and report them there.



2016 October 29

GNU nano 2.7.1 "Leuven" adds an often-asked-for feature: the
ability to display line numbers beside the text.  This can
be activated with -l or --linenumbers on the command line,
or with 'set linenumbers' in your nanorc, or toggled with
M-#.  The coloring of these numbers can be chosen via the
option 'set numbercolor'.  This release furthermore fixes
some bugs with scrolling in softwrap mode, is more strict
in the parsing of key rebindings, and marks a new buffer
as modified when the output of a command (^R ^X) has been
read into it.  Come and check it out!



2016 September 1

GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to be
selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys.
Besides that, nano now works also when run in very tiny
terminals (down to one line, one column), and improves
the handling of the prompt in cramped spaces.  Not much,
but it's time to get it out there.

With this release we return to GNU.  For just a little while
we dreamt we were tigers.  But we are back in the herd,
back to a healthy diet of fresh green free grass.
