03/05/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.7 "lets change everything and see what breaks"
|
|
is released. New features include new flags
|
|
-N,--noconvert to stop any file format conversion and
|
|
-Q, --quotestr for the new quoted text justification,
|
|
a new tempnam() implementation to avoid silly warnings,
|
|
DOS and Mac file options in the Write File dialog,
|
|
multiple save files (file.1) for abnormal exits, ^C
|
|
now shows column as well as character position, and
|
|
multibuffer allows duplicate files, even unnamed ones.
|
|
Also, the static shortcut and toggle lengths are
|
|
history, nano now reads $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc if rc file
|
|
support is enabled, and nano is now built with (and
|
|
requires for rebuilding) autoconf 2.5.
|
|
This release also includes fixes for some memory
|
|
leaks, detecting DOS and mac file format, justification,
|
|
suspending keys, search & replace under various
|
|
conditions, variable width for shortcuts, and the usual
|
|
ton of translation updates.
|
|
|
|
01/25/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.6 is released. Lots of new features in this
|
|
release. New Meta-keys were added as alternates for
|
|
control sequences: Meta-A for the marker key (^^), and
|
|
Meta-G for the 'goto dir' key in the file browser (^_).
|
|
The color syntax highlighting now supports multiple
|
|
lines via start="regex" end="regex" syntax, and the
|
|
.nanorc regex format itself has changed. Also, the
|
|
gettext code was upgraded to version 0.10.40, and nano
|
|
will now display a message if only occurrence of a
|
|
given search exists.
|
|
For bugfixes, there are fixes for spelling,
|
|
stray newlines in the usage() function, suspend issues
|
|
with tcsh, auto-indent and wrapping clashes, ugly code
|
|
in rcfile.c, global variable compatibility with AIX.
|
|
There are also oodles of translation updates.
|
|
Have fun with it.
|
|
|
|
01/05/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.5 is out. The main new feature in this
|
|
release is the changed behavior of the keypad. Nano now
|
|
does the Right Thing and used keypad() by default. If
|
|
you wish to use the keypad arrow keys in certain
|
|
terminals, you may use the -K or --keypad flag to
|
|
use the old behavior. Users of other OSes should see
|
|
better handling of their non-keypad keys in this
|
|
release. Other changes include more Hurd fixes, fixes
|
|
parsing the .nanorc, display fixes for the color syntax
|
|
highlighting, gettext stabilization and many translation
|
|
updates. This is amost like a stable release, much like
|
|
in the 0.9.x series when every other release was the
|
|
mosts stable one :) Have fun!
|
|
|
|
12/11/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.4 is released. This release contains
|
|
rudimentary color syntax support (but it's still
|
|
broken), compatibility fixes for the Hurd and FreeBSD,
|
|
spell checker and wrapping fixes, and more. It seems
|
|
that the amount of interest in the code is inversely
|
|
proportional to the amount of time since last release,
|
|
so it's time to show the world all the changes since
|
|
1.1.3 ;) Have fun with it!
|
|
|
|
10/26/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.3 is released. As far as new features go,
|
|
the help system is now available for all functions in the
|
|
editor. Also, nano will also now print a message on
|
|
the status bar when it automatically converts a file from
|
|
Mac or DOS format, and trying to load a file that
|
|
has already been loaded in multibuffer mode will now also
|
|
cause an error message. There is now a "goto previous
|
|
word" which you can use by hitting Meta-Space Bar.
|
|
As for fixes, a SEVERE bug in the
|
|
null_at code which discarded the memory address of
|
|
reallocated memory has been fixed. This is probably
|
|
the biggest bug fix in well over the last year of
|
|
development. There are also some display fixes for when
|
|
the screen shouldn't center itself on cut or uncut text.
|
|
Also, the comments in the header files incorectly said
|
|
that nano was distributed under version 1 of the GPL when
|
|
the accompanying license was the GPLv2.
|
|
If you're using nano-1.1, it is highly
|
|
recommeneded you upgrade to this release. If using 1.0,
|
|
wait for version 1.0.6 which should be available early
|
|
next week. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
10/03/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.2 is out there. Many new features in this
|
|
release, including support for auto-converting from
|
|
DOS and Mac formatted files, as well as toggles for
|
|
writing out files in these formats. Pico's -o flag has
|
|
been implemented, as has some new smooth scrolling code
|
|
(which can be used in place of the default jerky scrolling
|
|
behavior). Also, there is now a "find matching
|
|
bracket/brace/etc" feature (Meta-]). The .nanorc file
|
|
now accepts setting the tabsize, and the help text at the
|
|
bottom of the editor is now better spaced out in the
|
|
search/replace prompts. There are also the usual helping
|
|
of bugfixes, translation updates and, surely a bug or two.
|
|
You better get ready!
|
|
|
|
07/28/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.1 is released. Our second 1.1 unstable release
|
|
features many bugfixes from the initial release, in
|
|
particular fixs for the multibuffer code, and various
|
|
compiler macro fixes. The shortcut lists for
|
|
the search and replace prompts are a little more logical
|
|
(with cancel the last option again), and the included
|
|
gettext was re-downgraded to 0.10.35 due to problems
|
|
on the PPC platform. GNU nano now includes its own
|
|
aclocal macros in the m4/ directory to allow rebuilding
|
|
the configure script to work on platforms regardless of
|
|
their gettext version.
|
|
|
|
07/15/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.0 is released. This is the first release
|
|
in the 1.1.x unstable series of GNU nano. It
|
|
incorporates all changes up to the 1.0.3 release,
|
|
and also includes many many new features, including
|
|
appending to as well as overwriting files, writing
|
|
marked text to a separate file, dynamic wrap length,
|
|
lots more compatibility with Pico, and new optional
|
|
features like .nanorc file support and multiple file
|
|
buffers! All in all, plenty of new stuff that's sure
|
|
to introduce lots of bugs ;-) Have fun with it, but
|
|
be careful, unstable means unstable.
|
|
|
|
04/06/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.1 is out there. The only new feature is a
|
|
configure option for those who want to disable all
|
|
word wrapping from nano, --disable-wrapping. Bug fixes
|
|
this release include some bugs with autoconf and i18n,
|
|
and several fixes in the file browser including a
|
|
segfault on Solaris, symlinks to directories now work
|
|
properly, and nano now sorts files case insensitively
|
|
like pilot. Have fun with it.
|
|
|
|
03/22/2001 - GNU Nano 1.0 is released! The autoindent wrapping bug
|
|
has been fixed, as well as strange bug when using Pico
|
|
mode and regex search. There have also been some minor
|
|
spelling and documentation updates. As stated on the
|
|
website, there are currently no known bugs with nano, but
|
|
some will pop up eventually and they will be addressed in
|
|
subsequent releases. We hope you enjoy this first stable
|
|
release of nano, and as always, feedback is welcome!
|
|
nano@nano-editor.org.
|
|
|
|
02/19/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre3 brings a lot of changes! The most important
|
|
being that nano is now officially a GNU program. Some
|
|
changes have been made for GNU compatibility (like the
|
|
default list of shortcuts, "^G Get Help" is now Listed and
|
|
"^_ Goto Line" is not). The Yes/No/All keys have
|
|
finally been internationalized also. All in all, quite
|
|
a few changes, considering nano is supposed to be in a code
|
|
freeze. But there are the usual helping of bugfixes, a
|
|
nasty bug when cutting text in -k mode and some
|
|
compatibility issues with older ncurses libraries have also
|
|
been fixed. All in all, a lot to see.
|
|
|
|
01/31/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre2 is released. Not surprisingly, all that is
|
|
new is bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes. There were a few
|
|
cleanups in unneeded global variables and duplicate
|
|
functions, but most is just fixing. Specifically, there
|
|
is now a preliminary (read: needs testing) fix for
|
|
resizing the editor in any mode other than normal edit
|
|
mode. Other fixes include some more tab completion
|
|
segfaults, and an silly segfault that occurred when
|
|
successfully writing a file on the 2nd try (i.e. after an
|
|
initial write error). Slowly but surely, on toward 1.0 we
|
|
travel.
|
|
|
|
01/17/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre1 is released. This is the first pre-1.0
|
|
release of nano, and is also the first release since the
|
|
code freeze for nano 1.0. Don't expect (or request) any
|
|
new features between now and nano 1.0, only bugfixes,
|
|
optimizations and doc/translation updates. For fixes, a
|
|
nasty segfault when trying to insert one's home directory
|
|
(~), some checks for the NumLock key making the keypad
|
|
go awry, window size sanity checks, many autoconf fixes,
|
|
and support for the KDE konsole keypad layout. Have fun.
|
|
|
|
01/07/2001 - Nano 0.9.25 is the "Just one more feature I swear!" release.
|
|
It includes one new feature that Pico has had forever, a
|
|
built-in file browser. Since not everyone may want this
|
|
option, there is a --disable-browser option to the
|
|
configure script as well. Other changes include slightly
|
|
different keypad handling, and a bugfix for crashes when
|
|
tab completion in certain instances. Have fun and Happy
|
|
New Year!
|
|
|
|
12/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.24 is released. This version contains the last of
|
|
the security fixes for writing files, as well as for a
|
|
nasty segfault when nano is unable to open a file for
|
|
reading, among other fixes. Nano also now cowardly
|
|
refuses to open device files, to stop silly things like
|
|
trying to open /dev/zero. New features include being
|
|
Able to use Meta-Meta-<key> as Control-<key>, better
|
|
HURD support, and some new flags have been added for Pico
|
|
compatibility. Upgrading to this version is highly
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
12/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.23 is the "race conditions bite" release. The
|
|
main reason for this release is the less-than-optimal
|
|
fix for the security issue in nano with following symbolic
|
|
links. Hopefully this will fix the problem permanently.
|
|
The --nofollow option also works again for those who
|
|
are real security nuts. There are also some display and
|
|
search fixes, and the --disable-spell function was renamed
|
|
to --disable-speller to be in line with nano and pico's
|
|
"speller" term.
|
|
|
|
12/02/2000 - Nano 0.9.22 is released, with many more changes and
|
|
additions than imaginable. The most important change is
|
|
a fix for unsafe handling of symbolic links which could
|
|
lead to symlink attacks if nano were to exit because
|
|
of an error or signal. Also there are better checks when
|
|
saving files.
|
|
As for new features, username tab completion is
|
|
now working well, the internal spell checker code has been
|
|
tweaked, you can now unjustify if you don't like how the
|
|
justify formatted your text, and there are more
|
|
options for configure, including --disable-spell and
|
|
--disable-justify and --enable-extra (for those who like
|
|
surprises). All in all, a whole lot of changes in
|
|
a little over a week.
|
|
|
|
11/23/2000 - Happy Thanksgiving! Nano 0.9.21 is our "last version was
|
|
a big turkey" release. It fixes several bugs introduced
|
|
by the previous version, as well as a few long-
|
|
standing display bugs. All 0.9.20 users are strongly
|
|
encouraged to upgrade to this release.
|
|
|
|
11/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.20 is finally out the door. Probably the biggest
|
|
change is the brand new way nano displays previous search
|
|
and replace strings (they are now editable!) This is a
|
|
break from Pico's (inconsistent) interface, so if you
|
|
don't like the new way, "Pico" mode (-p on the command
|
|
line or Meta-P within nano) still works the "old"
|
|
way.
|
|
Other new features include being able to deal with
|
|
search strings of any length, a new internal spell feature
|
|
(courtesy of Mr. Rocco Corsi) and tab completion when
|
|
reading in or writing out files! There's also the usual
|
|
billion or so bug fixes. Feedback on this release is
|
|
welcome because so much has changed, especially with the
|
|
previous string display in search and replace. Email ->
|
|
nano@nano-editor.org <-. If you like something, don't like
|
|
something, or just want to order a pizza, let us know!
|
|
|
|
10/02/2000 - Nano 0.9.19 is the "Chris is getting married in less than
|
|
a week and needs a distraction" release. There are only
|
|
a few actual code changes, mainly portability and compiler
|
|
warning fixes. Nano now also supports PDCurses, which
|
|
enables easily-built nano executables for Windows NT
|
|
and 95/98 for the brave. The official nano site has
|
|
changed (again) as well, check out www.nano-editor.org for
|
|
all the latest nano schtuff.
|
|
|
|
09/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.18 is unleashed. It has some new keyboard
|
|
handling code, cygwin support out of the box, and
|
|
a more portable handler for the NOHELP toggle. There
|
|
is also a fix for a somewhat serious bug whereby trying
|
|
to insert a directory instead of a normal file would
|
|
destroy the contents of the editor. A must-see. Four
|
|
stars.
|
|
|
|
09/04/2000 - Nano 0.9.17, the Labor Day release, is released after a
|
|
quiet spell (almost an entire month since last release!)
|
|
New features include better (not yet perfect) binary
|
|
display support and toggle support for most of the program
|
|
flags (M-c, M-i, M-z, M-x, M-p, M-w, M-m, M-k and M-e for
|
|
-c, -i, -x, -p, -w, -k, and -R).
|
|
|
|
08/09/2000 - Nano 0.9.16, after some struggling, is released. This release
|
|
should fix a few of the holes that 0.9.15 dug. The
|
|
"cutting text on the first line" bug is fixed, as is the
|
|
"cutting text on the last line" bug. Nice symmetry there
|
|
huh? Also the --tabsize argument should now work as well
|
|
as by using -T.
|
|
|
|
08/03/2000 - Nano 0.9.15 is the "I can't think of a release description"
|
|
release. There are the usual gala of display bugfixes,
|
|
a fix for the the nasty bug in -k mode that could create a
|
|
loop in the file being edited, and some other code
|
|
cleanup. Also, the -T option should now work regardless
|
|
of the curses library used. Yay.
|
|
|
|
07/27/2000 - Nano 0.9.14 is officially the "13 is so unlucky it should
|
|
be skipped as a version number" release. One typo
|
|
caused unending problems (calling nano with either -t or
|
|
-k caused both flags to be used). The -k code is also now
|
|
closer in functionality to Pico's -k mode; please
|
|
note that this code is not finished yet. Working on this
|
|
code has made me realize that there is not enough
|
|
abstraction in the code, and I will be working on that
|
|
for the next release. Until then, have fun with this
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
07/23/2000 - Nano 0.9.13 has a few new bits and bobs, most notably the
|
|
-k option from Pico (cut to end of line). The majority
|
|
of changes in this release are bugfixes, however, including
|
|
the usual display fixes and fixes for writing to symbolic
|
|
links and un-writeable files. Barring any other major
|
|
changes, this should be the feature set for nano 1.0,
|
|
whenever it might be released =-)
|
|
|
|
07/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.12 (The "lucky day" release) is bursting with new
|
|
features, bug fixes, and yummy fruit flavor. For
|
|
changes, the alternate replace keystroke ^W^T is now
|
|
^W^R to be compatible with later versions of Pico.
|
|
^W^T is now goto line, again for Pico compatibility.
|
|
As for new features, the wonderful/hated magic line
|
|
code has returned with a vengeance! Also, regular
|
|
expression searches and replaces have been incorporated
|
|
via the -R flag. And, of course, there are the usual
|
|
helping of display and other bug fixes to top it all
|
|
off.
|
|
|
|
06/20/2000 - Nano 0.9.11 presents drastic rewrites of the most buggy
|
|
routines in the program, specifically the wrapping code
|
|
and almost all of the display routines. There are many
|
|
improvements and bugfixes to the display subsystem in
|
|
general, but there may be bugs lurking yet. Also, after
|
|
many MANY requests, there is now an option to set the
|
|
displayed tab width (-T, --tabsize). Note that
|
|
this function just changes the way tabs LOOK in the
|
|
editor, the tabs you input are still real tabs of normal
|
|
width (usually 8 characters); nano just makes them look
|
|
smaller or bigger while in the editor. New in the
|
|
translation department is an Indonesian translation (id).
|
|
|
|
06/06/2000 - Nano 0.9.10 is primarily a bugfix for the loss of SIGINT when
|
|
using "run and terminate" flags (for example, --help).
|
|
There are also some minor documentation updates. This
|
|
version of nano is the most stable in quite some time, and
|
|
is likely to be the most stable for awhile. Users are
|
|
encouraged to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
05/31/2000 - Nano 0.9.9 introduces much better working i18n support,
|
|
more portability, and a ton of bugfixes. While
|
|
nano is not likely anywhere near 1.0 in terms of
|
|
code quality, it gets a quantum leap closer with this
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
05/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.8 (the 'what broke now?' release) should fix
|
|
the resize crash people have been experiencing. It also
|
|
offers a new input method that should allow nano to do
|
|
things the right way (like ^S, ^Q, custom suspend keys)
|
|
and hopefully won't break with non-US keyboards. There
|
|
are also the obligatory display fixes and speedups. Have
|
|
fun with it.
|
|
|
|
05/14/2000 - Nano 0.9.7 (the Mother's Day release) continues in the long
|
|
line of display fixes, and also fixes the broken symlink
|
|
behavior (i.e. symlinks weren't being followed by
|
|
default). Hopefully all major bugs can be worked out soon
|
|
and we can have a 1.0 release before the end of the year,
|
|
but who knows.
|
|
|
|
05/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.6 cleans up a lot of the display bugs that 0.9.5
|
|
uncovered. There are improvements (and some remaining
|
|
segfaults) in the wrapping code, and even more
|
|
display optimizations. I would still say 0.9.4 or 0.9.2
|
|
are the most stable versions of nano to date, but this one
|
|
may not be too bad =-)
|
|
|
|
05/01/2000 - Nano 0.9.5 attempts to speed up the display of text
|
|
to be at least somewhat reasonable. Much
|
|
code profiling has been done to reduce the
|
|
ridiculous number of redundant display updates. This
|
|
will probably expose a lot of bugs that can then be
|
|
fixed, so this release is probably not for the faint
|
|
of heart. For anyone curious, I would call nano 0.9.2
|
|
the most stable version recently, so use that if you're
|
|
not particularly concerned with being on the bleeding
|
|
edge.
|
|
|
|
04/25/2000 - Nano 0.9.4 fixes some problems in 0.9.3 with the last
|
|
line code and related segfaults. It also now has
|
|
much better handling for 8-bit characters. The
|
|
--enable-tiny code also produces a smaller executable.
|
|
|
|
04/19/2000 - Nano 0.9.3 is officially the "Micro$oft" release. It
|
|
underscores the recent problem of bugfixes introducing
|
|
more bugs than they fix. The most important change
|
|
to this version of nano is the removal of the "magic
|
|
line". You will no longer see a blank line at the end of
|
|
the file. If you want a new line at the end of your file,
|
|
you'll have to hit enter to get one.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: THIS BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH PICO. Unfortunately,
|
|
this feature has been causing many many problems with nano
|
|
so it is being removed for the time being, and perhaps
|
|
indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
Other new stuff includes an --enable-tiny option to make
|
|
nano ultra small (disabling i18n, detailed help and the
|
|
marker and mouse code), and --with-slang to use the
|
|
slang libraries instead of ncurses.
|
|
|
|
04/15/2000 - Nano 0.9.2 just fixes the serious segfault problem if
|
|
nano is invoked any way other than using the absolute
|
|
path. The bug was in the new code for checking whether
|
|
nano is invoked as pico.
|
|
|
|
04/14/2000 - 0.9.1 has some more Pico compatibility built-in. The
|
|
option to switch to/from Search and Search/Replace
|
|
(^T) is now available, and nano now displays the
|
|
more Pico-like shortcut list when invoked as 'pico'
|
|
(i.e. if pico is a symlink to nano). There is an
|
|
important change to the handling of symbolic links
|
|
as well. Now, nano does the "correct" thing and
|
|
automatically writes to the object of the symlink,
|
|
rather than replace the symlink with the updated file.
|
|
This behavior is still available with the --nofollow
|
|
or -l flags.
|
|
Other new things include a fix for the infamous
|
|
"recursive replace" bug, and more bugfixes in the wrapping
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
04/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.0 has some updates, new language support and
|
|
a much better refresh setup (It's still not great, but...)
|
|
There should also be more stability editing long lines,
|
|
as there was a stupid mistake in the update_line

03/22/2000 - Nano 0.8.9 is basically just a bugfix release of 0.8.8
|
|
to reflect the current stagnant status of the project.
|
|
Most things work, the rest doesn't doesn't work because
|
|
(a) I can't fix it or I would have already done so, and
|
|
(b) the amount of patches I'm receiving right now is quite
|
|
negligible. Fortunately, this release marks the first
|
|
release since I have acquired ownership of the nano pages
|
|
on SourceForge. Here's hoping SF will get us some more
|
|
visibility, translators and patches.
|
|
|
|
03/12/2000 - After a hiatus, I have finally moved (not unpacked though)
|
|
to my new home into Albany. Thus I should now have more
|
|
time to work on nano. Nano 0.8.8, the "dear god what
|
|
broke this time?" release, incorporates patches for both
|
|
i18n and many bugfixes. It is VERY likely something broke
|
|
this version, and it's likely I didn't even apply the i18n
|
|
stuff properly, so *it* may not even work.
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce that I'm going to need
|
|
translations soonish, so if you are fluent in other
|
|
languages than English (or even better, if your native
|
|
language is not English) and you would like to submit a
|
|
translation file to me, please feel free to do so. If you
|
|
do, I will list your name and email in the AUTHORS file as
|
|
the maintainer of the .po file, and from then on it is
|
|
yours to take care of and keep up to date.
|
|
|
|
03/01/2000 - Well, to continue my trend of going back on my previous
|
|
release's comments, nano 0.8.7 is released. The crashing
|
|
behavior was still occurring, and this most recent fix also
|
|
fixes some other wrapping problems, so here you go.
|
|
There may be another release soon, there may not be, is
|
|
that vague enough? =)
|
|
|
|
02/25/2000 - More minor bugfixes in 0.8.6, the bizarre behavior at the end
|
|
of a page has ceased, thankfully. I'm also moving next
|
|
weekend, so don't be shocked if you don't see a new
|
|
version of nano next week =-)
|
|
|
|
02/11/2000 - Okay, here we go again. Aside from a few minor fixes and
|
|
some under-the-hood changes, you won't notice much
|
|
different in this version of nano. I haven't gotten much
|
|
feedback on the help feature, is it simply amazing or does
|
|
no one care? Write and let me know! =)
|
|
|
|
02/08/2000 - Nano 0.8.3 marks the first time in a long time that there has
|
|
been more than three days since the last release. New
|
|
features include an initial help mode (YAY!), hopefully
|
|
much more support for i18n out of the box, and a flag
|
|
for more Pico compatibility in the shortcut lists
|
|
displayed. This release also marks the new nano
|
|
distribution site, http://www.asty.org/nano and email
|
|
address nano@asty.org for bugs, etc.
|
|
|
|
02/02/2000 - Okay, I hate to go back on what I said in the last release,
|
|
but I may be changing jobs very soon. I will release
|
|
version 0.8.2 as is (no i18n, no help menu (yet). I
|
|
expect things to settle down by the end of next week, and
|
|
then I can try to start on the i18n support and help menu;
|
|
look for these new features in version 0.8.5 to 0.9.0.
|
|
|
|
01/28/2000 - Nano 0.8.1 marks our first official step toward
|
|
internationalization (i18n) and the help system (^G). I
|
|
will be merging in Jordi's patches for initial i18n in the
|
|
next version, and will implement the help system with
|
|
i18n built into it shortly after that. Please don't
|
|
hesitate to send bug reports, as long as you're sure the
|
|
fault lies with nano =-).
|
|
|
|
01/25/2000 - Nano 0.8.0 is officially the 'let's try and be at least a
|
|
little portable, mmmmkay?' release. There are many
|
|
portability checks and fixes; many thanks to Andy Kahn for
|
|
his patches. I removed the broken do_spell behavior with
|
|
the 'spell' program; for now, we only try to call 'ispell'
|
|
until I write a better method to handle the output of the
|
|
normal 'spell' command.
|
|
|
|
01/24/2000 - Nano 0.7.9 features many new features. Among them are a
|
|
new autoindent feature (-i, --autoindent), tempfile
|
|
flag like Pico's -t flag (-t, --tempfile), and preliminary
|
|
spelling program support. The spelling function tries
|
|
to run 'spell' and then 'ispell' in that order, but you
|
|
can specify another spelling program with -s or --speller.
|
|
|
|
01/17/00 - Nano 0.7.7 is officially the 'way too much stuff changed this
|
|
release' release. It's the busy time at work for me, so
|
|
please don't get offended if your patch doesn't get
|
|
included in the next immediate version of nano. I'm sure
|
|
all the changes in this release will cause a few bugs, so
|
|
0.7.8 will primarily be about fixing those bugs.
|
|
|
|
Things added this release include resizability (kinda),
|
|
new -x and -c flags (see nano -h for help), long command
|
|
line flag support, and the usual array of bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
01/15/00 - Nano 0.7.6 is officially the 'lightning' release. It now loads
|
|
large files much faster than previous versions, and is
|
|
even much faster than Pico or vi in some rather
|
|
rudimentary tests. Many thanks to Adam Rogoyski for the
|
|
read_byte patch!
|
|
|
|
01/09/00 - As of this version (0.7.4), TIP has officially been renamed
|
|
to nano. The new homepage is at
|
|
http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/astyanax/nano. Please
|
|
update your bookmarks, tell your friends, and all that
|
|
jazz.
