2020.03.24 - GNU nano 4.9 "die fetten Jahre sind vorbei"
• When justifying a selection, the new paragraph and the
succeeding one get the appropriate first-line indent.
• Trying to justify an empty selection does not crash.
• Redoing the insertion of an empty file does not crash.
• On the BSDs and macOS, ^H has become rebindable again
(in most terminal emulators, not on the console).
• DOS line endings in nanorc files are accepted.
• Option --suspend / 'set suspend' has been renamed to
the more logical --suspendable / 'set suspendable'.
2020.02.07 - GNU nano 4.8 "Jaška"
• When something is pasted into nano, auto-indentation is suppressed,
and the paste can be undone as a whole with a single M-U.

<h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program &quot;establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host&quot;, and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
<h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>4.8</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>

<h3><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. I want to read the man page without having to download the program!</h3>
