Now you can have a look elsewhere in the buffer (and even delete
or paste stuff there) and when you return to the original line
and continue typing, any spillover from automatic hard-wrapping
will spill over onto the same line it spilled over to before.
You can even switch to a different buffer and return and continue
typing, and stuff will still spill over to the same line.
In the bargain, this gets rid of a bit of flag-resetting code
that was run for many keystrokes, in most cases needlessly.

All other options are off by default and can only be switched *on*
(either by a command-line option or a nanorc setting) -- there are
no command-line options to switch them off again. Except for the
--breaklonglines/--nowrap pair. So these need special handling.

Bug existed since version 4.0, commit 4d40bea5.
For relatively inexperienced users (as most users of nano probably are)
it is far better that nano produces POSIX text files by default, where
each line ends with a newline character. This means that these files
will "print" properly (not gluing the next prompt at the end of the
last line), tools will see and process each line of them, and, while
editing, adding text at the end is easier.

When nano was configured with --enable-tiny --enable-speller, the
block_sigwinch() function should be available, to mask SIGWINCHes
during a spell check.
Somehow a SIGWINCH pushes nano past the wait() in do_alt_speller(),
even though the external spelling program hasn't finished.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56010
by reverting commit 1f39f60b.
Bug existed since version 3.2.
When there is a dash among the files on the command line, nano will read
data from standard input, which means that the latter is not connected to
a terminal and thus cannot be recognized as a Linux VT until nano has
finished reading the input and has reconnected the input source to the
terminal.
The first probe for a Linux VT is kept in place for now, so that nano
can stop when there are errors in an rcfile while running on a VT.
(This stopping will not work when data is read from standard input,
of course, but that is a smaller fish.)

Bug existed since the recognition of modified cursor keys on a Linux
console was introduced, in version 2.6.3, commit 290d278f.
Option -J (--guidestripe) takes a column number as argument and then
shows a vertical, colored bar over the entire height of the buffer,
to aid the user in regulating the width of the text when the terminal
is wider than this desired width.
This fulfills https://bugs.debian.org/916392.

If these two command-line options would override an rcfile setting of
their counterpart new option, the user might come to expect being able
to do this also in the future. But these old options will be obsoleted
at some moment, so... better start ignoring them right now.
Also, enable smooth scrolling by default, and don't waste the row
directly below the title bar. The use of the latter also serves
as a small visual reminder that this nano is different.

This signals our break from trying to be as compatible with Pico as
possible. We were already incompatible with modern Pico in the -n
and -W options, and in several character-set and color options, so
ignoring those five options brought us very little.
Anyway, soon some of those options will be reused and will have the
effect of making nano look and behave more like Pico.
Now also comment blocks in Fortran, Lisp, Lua, Postgres, and TeX
can be rewrapped with ^J.
This partially addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55435.
