2021.10.06 - GNU nano 5.9 "El manicomio ha decidido: mañana sol!"
• The extension of a filename is added to the name of a corresponding
temporary file, so that spell checking a C file, for example, will
check only the comments and strings (when using 'aspell').
• The process number is added to the name of an emergency save file,
so that when multiple nanos die they will not fight over a filename.
• Undoing a cutting operation will restore an anchor that was located
in the cut area to its original line.
• When using --locking, saving a new buffer will create a lock file.
• Syntax highlighting for YAML files has been added.
2021.06.15 - GNU nano 5.8 "Why is it necessary to be special?"
• After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8
seconds with --quick) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.

<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>5.8</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>
<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>5.9</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>
<blockquote><p>Jeez, demanding, aren't we? Okay, look <a href="https://nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nano.1.html">here</a>.</p></blockquote>
