-2003.02.13 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre3 "The last testing version, no
-             really!" is released.  This release includes fixes for
-             wrapping (again), resizing, color syntax highlighting,
-             rcfile parsing, the mouse code, more memory leaks, and
-             some reversion of the code to get the user's home
-             directory (nano will now again rely on $HOME).  There
-             are also translation updates, a new manual page for the
-             nanorc file, and an UPGRADE file detailing the changes
-             since version 1.0.  Please submit reports for any bugs
-             you might find to the development team
-             (nano-devel@gnu.org), and enjoy nano almost-1.2.0 ;-)

-2003.02.03 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre2 "bugs in my pockets, bugs in my
-             shoes" is released.  There are, not surprisingly, only
-             bugfixes in this release as we move toward the stable
-             1.2.0 release.  Fixes are included for translatable
-             string format, subexpression replacement, constant
-             cursor position, invalid search regexes, justify, screen
-             state on SIGHUP and SIGTERM, cutting to end cuts with
-             long lines, many file browser and operating directory
-             bugs, memory and file descriptor leaks, marker code,
-             spell checker, the mouse code with long lines, multiple
-             buffers and non-file open errors, replacement string
-             length, and a silly but serious history message crash.
-             There is also a drastic improvement in CPU utilization
-             for the color regex code.
-                 Depending on the number of bugs found in this
-             release, there may be a 1.1.99pre3 or RC1, or just a
-             1.2.0 release.  Most of the major bugs seem to have been
-             worked out, so if you are waiting for a good time to
-             test nano before the official 1.2.0 release, this would
-             be the one to use.  Happy bug hunting!
