Changes between v4.3 and v4.4:
------------------------------
Benno Schulenberg (53):
browser: draw a bar of spaces only where needed -- for the selected item
build: exclude the search-at-startup feature from the tiny version
bump version numbers and add a news item for the 4.4 release
copying: do not prevent M-6 from copying emptiness into the cutbuffer
display: blank the status bar on a successful cut or paste
display: clear the remainder of a row only when there actually is some
display: don't clear a row beforehand -- just clear the remainder
display: use a somewhat faster method to clear a row
display: when linenumbering, correctly spotlight text that spans two rows
display: where needed, use slow blanking, but elsewhere do it much faster
docs: change a few URLs over to https, and rewrap a couple of NEWS items
docs: document the search-at-startup feature (+/string or +?string)
docs: make the synopsis of --speller and 'set speller' more accurate
docs: mention the M-N toggle instead of the obsolete M-# one
docs: slightly reword some of the descriptions around syntax highlighting
docs: slightly reword the descriptions of most configure options
docs: stop mentioning the 'unjustify' function, as it no longer exists
gnulib: update to its current upstream state
new document: a condensed overview of nano's shortcut keystrokes
new feature: allow specifying a search string to "jump to" at startup

scrolling: don't overscroll when the edit window has just one row
search: don't wipe the status bar at startup when there was an error
search: wipe the status bar before searching again (M-W / M-Q)
syntax: c: allow an underscore in lowercase type names
syntax: default: colorize bracketed section headers in some config files
syntaxes: change some unneeded 'icolor' commands to 'color' commands
syntaxes: recognize .ctp extension as a PHP file, and .cu as a C/C++ file
syntax: perl: avoid recognizing embedded hash signs as a comment starter
syntax: perl: avoid upsetting older glibcs with crafty range expression
syntax: perl: don't color the character after a variable name
syntax: po: colorize numbers only when they form a self-contained word
text: copy leading quote characters when automatic hard-wrapping occurs
tweaks: add a translator hint, to clarify four short words
tweaks: call the correct lighting function directly when softwrapping
tweaks: condense some comments, and drop two unneeded initializations
tweaks: drop two parameters that are no longer needed
tweaks: improve a comment, and drop a superfluous one
tweaks: improve a handful of comments
tweaks: make a function name unique, to not overlap with others
tweaks: move a call from two different places to a single place
tweaks: move a function to before the first one that calls it
tweaks: move a general function to a better place
tweaks: remove a saving and restoring that has become superfluous
tweaks: rename a function, to suit better, and reshuffle its parameters
tweaks: rename a parameter in three functions, to say what it points to
tweaks: reshuffle an assignment, and trim some excessive blank lines
tweaks: reshuffle an 'if' out of a function, and rename the function
tweaks: reword and condense two comments, and correct another
tweaks: rewrap two lines, and reshuffle some logic to make more sense
tweaks: shorten two messages that translators tend to make too long
tweaks: try the allocation of a multidata cache just once per line
tweaks: when precalculating, allocate all the cache space upfront
Brand Huntsman (3):
rcfile: for an empty syntax, show the line number of the 'syntax' command
rcfile: report the correct command location for an invalid 'include'
search: accept toggles for case and regex when searching at startup

2019.08.25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag"
• At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence
of a string by preceding the filename with +/string or +?string.
• When automatic hard-wrapping occurs (--breaklonglines), any leading
quoting characters will be automatically copied to the new line.
• M-6 works again also when the cursor is at end of buffer.
2019.06.18 - GNU nano 4.3 "Musa Kart"
• The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.
• Startup time is reduced by fully parsing a syntax only when needed.

<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>4.3</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>
