All releases tagged Unstable
Release Notes: Included are some (hopefully final) fixes for issues with last page display caused by the soft wrapping code and a fix for a long-standing issue with hitting the home key when going through the search history. On the features front, nano will now attempt to retain the proper ownership and permissions when trying to create a .save file due to receiving a signal. Nano can also now unbind keys from one or more menus via the "unbind" keyword. Finally, passing --fill or --nowrap on the command line will now override any related .nanorc entries.
Release Notes: This version includes various fixes for portability including support for some older HP-UX compiler combos, fixes for various compiler warnings, and some crash fixes in the undo code. The undo code is now marked as experimental since it can cause severe stability and memory issues, and thus now requires a flag (-u, --undo) in order to enable it.
Release Notes: Issues with the new sped-up syntax highlighting code were corrected. Other fixes include configure-time detection of groff HTML support before attempting to generate the HTML version of man pages. Using ~ or ~username syntax in .nanorc should now work again. Also, nano will now only ask for one acknowledgment of errors it encounters when parsing nanorc files, and a new -q (--quiet) flag will silence these messages altogether.
Release Notes: This release includes some long overdue performance improvements in syntax color highlighting, the ability to abort running searches (useful mainly when editing very large files), and the ability to use nano like a pager for viewing standard input (i.e. "nano -"). Additionally, there are gentoo syntax highlighting updates and fixes for issues with reading files in a directory with strange parent directory permissions. The key bindings code was also substantially changed in order to be more ISO-C compatible.
Release Notes: This release includes a new check for external modifications when saving a file, some code and documentation cleanups, and more bugfixes for the new undo code.
Release Notes: This release contains a better fix for incorrectly reported successful writes on full filesystems, more helpful messages when an internal error occurs in the undo code, and fixes for various combinations of configure-time options and compiler flags. Also included is new support for changing the rc file name at configure time, and using GNU-style regexes for word-boundaries on systems that do not support them natively, as well as the ever popular translation updates.
Release Notes: This release includes fixes for several severe issues with the new undo/redo code. The behavior of writing files when using backup mode has changed as well: if writing the backup file fails, nano will not attempt to write the current file.
Release Notes: This release includes new (and experimental) undo and redo functionality for most text operations. The default key bindings are Meta-U for undo and Meta-E for redo, but these can be remapped using the new 2.1 keybinding code. Also included are some fixes for configuring using wide curses, crashing when invoking the help menu with certain locales, and not saving the search history when compiled with configure options.
Release Notes: This release contains fixes for binding bad keys, some configure-specific compilation failures, and more issues with the new input back end, particularly the status bar. Also fixed are some long-standing issues with compiling on AIX and a segfault when making the terminal window too small.
Release Notes: This release contains fixes for the new user-rebindable keys, as well as various translation and configure-related compilation problems. It also contains new syntax highlighting definitions for Tcl, PHP, Gentoo, and Debian-related files. Some documentation updates were made as well.
