2017.04.12 - GNU nano 2.8.1 "Ellert" fixes build failures on MacOS and
on musl, fixes scrolling problems in softwrap mode when
double-width characters on row boundaries are involved,
shows double-width characters as ">" and "<" when split
across two rows, moves the cursor more predictably (at
the cost of sometimes putting it on the second "half"
of a character), avoids creating lines that consist of
only blanks when using autoindent, makes ^Home and ^End
go to the start and end of the file (on terminals that
support those keystrokes), places the cursor better when
linting, lets the linter ask only once whether to open
an included file, and adds bindings for ^Up and ^Down
in the file browser. Don't sit on your hands.
2017.03.31 - GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in 2017.03.31 - GNU nano 2.8.0 "Axat" makes it easier to move around in
softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from softwrapped lines: the Up and Down keys now step from
visual row to visual row instead of jumping between visual row to visual row instead of jumping between

<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'.
