nano-2.8.3

[bdubbs@…]

New point version.

[bdubbs@…]

Changes between v2.8.2 and v2.8.3:

• bindings: allow toggling a new buffer when multiple buffers are enabled
• build: don't use a dummy dependency, as it breaks non-GNU makes
• build: for Solaris, tell the linker where to find clock_gettime()
• build: use backticks to avoid a warning during autoreconf
• build: use the "force" mechanism to always run the revision rule
• bump version numbers and add a news item for the 2.8.3 release
• chars: optimize moving a character left in the non-UTF-8 case
• chars: probe for a valid UTF-8 starter byte, instead of overstepping
• chars: valid UTF-8 codes are at most 4 bytes long, so look only that far
• display: keep the cursor put, also when toggling nohelp or morespace
• files: don't ask "save anyway" when user orders to discard the buffer
• history: don't save the cursor position for temporary help files
• moving: limit the target column when it is beyond the last chunk
• replacing: don't let placewewant influence the placement of the cursor
• startup: don't call delwin() with NULL, to avoid crashing on Solaris
• syntax: makefile: color comments only at start of line or after whitespace
• syntax: nanohelp: color also ^6 as a shortcut keystroke
• syntax: php: color also variable names, and color more reserved words
• syntax: php: recognize also the .phtml and .php7 extensions
• syntax: xml: recognize an XML file also by its first line
• tweaks: add another warning for an impossible condition
• tweaks: adjust whitespace and comments after the preceding change
• tweaks: avoid an empty function call in tiny version with line numbers
• tweaks: exclude from the tiny version five error-betraying messages
• tweaks: exclude from the tiny version two messages that will never occur
• tweaks: fix compilation with --enable-tiny ...-help and ...-multibuffer
• tweaks: remove an old fault-catching message
• tweaks: remove five dummy function definitions from the tiny version
• tweaks: rename three empty functions, and reshuffle some others
• tweaks: rewrap a couple of old items in NEWS, and fix an article
• tweaks: swap a comparison, to be clearer
• tweaks: transform the token DISABLE_BROWSER to ENABLE_BROWSER
• tweaks: transform the token DISABLE_NANORC to ENABLE_NANORC
• tweaks: transform the token DISABLE_TABCOMP to ENABLE_TABCOMP
• display: ensure smooth scrolling when the edit window is resized
• tweaks: fix several whitespace irregularities
