Remarks are about unsurprising things but it's good to give feedback
on them; "mistakes" are unexpected things, and get colored like an
error; and information is something that the user requested and thus
needs to stay on the status bar until the next keystroke.
(Yes, the test is for 6.0, but the bug was actually fixed in 5.9,
as far as I remember -- I just wasn't sure and didn't want to bother
building different versions of ncurses myself.)
Trying to determine which syntax to apply with the help of libmagic
can be a somewhat time-consuming and yet often still fruitless affair.
Therefore using libmagic should not be the default; it should require
an option to tell nano to try using libmagic when it can't determine
the applicable syntax from the file's name or first line.
This is better than having a --nomagic option (and using libmagic by
default), because when the user has 'set nomagic' in their nanorc or
--nomagic in their alias, then switching the use of libmagic back on
is troublesome. But with --magic (and not using libmagic by default),
when nano fails to recognize a file, it is a simple ^X, add -! to the
command line, and restart.
The short form of the option is -! because we have run out of letters.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59028.
With --stateflags (short form: -%) or 'set stateflags', nano reserves
the righthand end of the title bar not for showing "Modified" but for
showing the state of auto-indentation (I), the mark (M), the breaking
of long lines (L), macro recording (R), and softwrapping (S).
When the buffer is modified, this is indicated with a star (*) after
the file name (shown in the center of the title bar).
This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57953.

Instead of stuffing 0x91 into the input stream, use 0xFF when built
with Slang -- the same code that Slang itself produces when resuming
from an externally induced suspension. This byte is ignored.
In a UTF-8 locale, it should be safe to ignore the byte 0xFF coming
from the keyboard, as no valid UTF-8 sequence can contain 0xFF.
In an ISO8859 locale, this change prevents ÿ from being typed on the
keyboard -- it can still be entered with <Esc> <Esc> 255, though.
My apologies to the people of Pierre Louÿs and L'Haÿ-les-Roses.
Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly. And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

Before version 2.9.8, nano would consider any line that started with
leading whitespace as the beginning of a new paragraph, and would thus
be unable to justify an indented piece of text (unless autoindent was
switched on). I thought that this was too limiting and changed the
way nano detects and parses paragraphs. It works fine in texts where
paragraphs occupy multiple lines, but breaks down for paragraphs of
a single line: nano merges those with adjoining lines.
Now, when -O or --bookstyle or 'set bookstyle' is used, nano will again
consider a line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph
-- when 'autoindent' is OFF.
