2020.10.07 - GNU nano 5.3 "Revolution!"
• Option 'set stateflags' makes nano show the state of auto-indenting,
the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the
title bar. The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified
buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name.
• Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the type
of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because
in most cases it is a waste of time. It requires using the option
--magic or -! or 'set magic' to make nano try libmagic.
• The color of the indicator can be changed with 'set scrollercolor'.
2020.08.24 - GNU nano 5.2 "Ranrapalca"
• Making certain replacements after a large paste does not crash.
• Hitting a toggle at the Search prompt does not clear the answer.

<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>5.2</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>
