Chris Allegretta | 946b2f4 | 2011-02-26 14:28:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 132 | features. First, libmagic support for syntax highlighting |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 133 | has been added on top of the existing file extension |

| 138 | compilation with g++, and better handling of issues |

Benno Schulenberg | aa0fd88 | 2015-07-15 20:21:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 140 | for the "set allow_insecure_backup" nanorc option. |

| 144 | www.desertbus.org and donate a few bucks for the great |
| 145 | Child's Play Charity! This is just a small release to |
| 146 | update a bug where restricted mode was not particularly |
| 147 | restricted since key bindings were introduced. It also |
| 148 | signals the return of win32 builds which now feature |
| 149 | nanorc support; please see the FAQ for details of how |
| 150 | to enable it, this feature is a bit of a kludge for now. |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 165 | this release includes some security fixes due to |
Chris Allegretta | a2c5172 | 2010-04-15 07:40:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 166 | an assessment of nano's vulnerability to symlink attacks |
| 167 | on open files. The CVEs fixed with this release are |
| 168 | CVE-2010-1160 and CVE-2010-1161. Also included are fixes |
| 169 | for various crash modes when using the spell checker |
| 170 | on new files in multibuffer mode (surely you've used |
Benno Schulenberg | ccb02f7 | 2014-02-25 20:53:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 171 | that combination recently? no?) as well as a fixing |

Chris Allegretta | a2c5172 | 2010-04-15 07:40:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 175 | third-times-the-charm fixes to page up/down due to |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 176 | the soft wrapping code. The lone new feature |

Chris Allegretta | a2c5172 | 2010-04-15 07:40:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 178 | cmake-related files. Please do consider upgrading to |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 214 | of 'final' soft wrapping fixes! Finally, nano will no |

| 220 | of almost two years of development and hot on the heels |
| 221 | of nano's 10th birthday is available for all your |
| 222 | editing needs! Bugs fixed since the last release |
| 223 | include several fixes for tiny mode (involving both |
| 224 | the help keys and replace menu text), more 'final' |
| 225 | fixes for soft wrapping, and several typo and documentation |

| 239 | Friday discount. Included are some (hopefully |
| 240 | final) fixes for issues with last page display |
| 241 | caused by the soft wrapping code, and a fix for |

| 245 | ownership and permissions when trying to create a |
| 246 | .save file due to receiving a signal. Nano can also |
| 247 | now unbind keys from one or more menus via the 'unbind' |
| 248 | keyword. Finally, passing --fill or --nowrap on |
| 249 | the command line will now override any related |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 253 | out there all right. This release contains mainly |
| 254 | bugfixes, underscoring that we are preparing for the |
| 255 | next stable series release. Included are many fixes |
| 256 | for the new soft wrapping code, compiler warning tweaks, |
| 257 | and the modification time warning no longer triggers |
| 258 | when saving a file as a new name. Also include are |
| 259 | some fixes for various nanorc options, and there are |
| 260 | surely more bugs to find before we call the code base |
Chris Allegretta | 2cd2d4b | 2009-11-15 06:20:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 261 | stable, so please keep those reports coming! |

| 264 | ice. This release includes two new features: first, nano |
| 265 | will check whether the current file is writable when it |
Benno Schulenberg | c9e8370 | 2015-11-21 19:05:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 266 | is opened, and warn if it is not on the status bar. Secondly, |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 267 | a new soft-wrapping (AKA full line display) option is |
Chris Allegretta | 1f218fa | 2009-09-15 03:50:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 268 | available, which will attempt to fully display the contents |
| 269 | of lines longer than the width of the screen without the |
| 270 | usual truncation and a '$' symbol at the end of the line. |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 271 | It can be enabled via Meta-$ inside the editor, via the |
| 272 | -$ or --softwrap command line flags, or "set softwrap" |
| 273 | in your .nanorc). As always please report any bugs to the |

Chris Allegretta | 7f38820 | 2009-07-28 05:08:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 278 | 2009.07.28 - GNU nano 2.1.10 "Ellie" is released. This version includes |
| 279 | various fixes for portability including some older HP-UX |
| 280 | compiler combos, various compiler warnings, and some crash |
| 281 | fixes in the undo code. On the topic of the latter item, |
| 282 | the undo code is now marked as experimental since it can |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 283 | cause severe stability and memory issues, and thus now |
| 284 | requires a flag (-u, --undo) in order to enable it. |
| 285 | Please feel free to continue to test the undo code and |
Chris Allegretta | 7f38820 | 2009-07-28 05:08:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 286 | thanks again for using nano for your text editing needs. |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 290 | floor! This release is primarily meant as a less buggy |
| 291 | version of 2.1.8, particularly for issues with the new |
| 292 | sped-up syntax highlighting code. Other fixes include |
| 293 | configure-time detection of groff HTML support before |
| 294 | attempting to generate the HTML version of man pages, |
| 295 | and using ~ or ~username syntax in .nanorc should now |
| 296 | work again. Also, nano will now only ask for one |
| 297 | acknowledgement of errors it encounters when parsing |
| 298 | nanorc files, and a new flag -q (--quiet) will silence |
| 299 | these messages altogether. Give it a go, and happy |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 303 | release include some long overdue performance |
Chris Allegretta | 1658d4d | 2009-02-08 04:12:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 304 | improvements in syntax color highlighting, the ability |
| 305 | to abort running searches (useful mainly when |
| 306 | editing very large files) and the ability to use nano |
| 307 | like a pager for viewing standard input (i.e. "nano -"). |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 308 | Additionally, there are gentoo syntax highlighting |
| 309 | updates and fixes for issues with reading files |
| 310 | in a directory with strange parent directory permissions. |
| 311 | The key bindings code was also substantially changed |
| 312 | in order to be more ISO-C compatible. Be sure to use |

Chris Allegretta | 8f0a921 | 2008-10-03 22:20:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 327 | 2008.10.03 - GNU nano 2.1.6 was for new features before it was against |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 328 | them. This release includes more undo capability, |
Chris Allegretta | 8f0a921 | 2008-10-03 22:20:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 329 | several new syntax highlighting configurations including |
| 330 | Objective C, OCaml, and Fortran, and a new capability |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 332 | file being edited. Also, the new default configure |
Chris Allegretta | 8f0a921 | 2008-10-03 22:20:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 333 | options now include color syntax highlighting, .nanorc |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 336 | fixes include better signal handling under Cygwin, and |
Chris Allegretta | 8f0a921 | 2008-10-03 22:20:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 337 | that's about it. Again please remember to |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 340 | as undo functions certainly need more testing. |

| 344 | contains a better fix for incorrectly reported successful |

Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 346 | an internal error occurs in the undo code, and fixes for |

Chris Allegretta | 566635e | 2008-08-30 21:40:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 349 | changing the rc file name at configure time, and |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 350 | using GNU-style regexes for word-boundaries on systems |

Chris Allegretta | d2780ec | 2008-08-09 10:25:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 354 | 2008.08.09 - GNU nano 2.1.4 "I told you so!" is released. This release |
| 355 | includes fixes for several severe issues with the new |
| 356 | undo/redo code. Also the behavior of writing |
| 357 | files when using backup mode has changed as well: if writing |
| 358 | the backup file fails, nano will not attempt to write the |
| 359 | current file. This should help folks who enjoy "extreme |
| 360 | text editing" i.e. editing files on file systems which |
| 361 | are likely to run out of space; see Savannah bug 24000. |

Chris Allegretta | 599c559 | 2008-08-05 01:35:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 365 | release includes new (and experimental) undo and redo |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 366 | functionality for most text operations. The default |
Chris Allegretta | 599c559 | 2008-08-05 01:35:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 367 | key bindings are Meta-U for undo and Meta-E for redo, but |
| 368 | these can be remapped using the new 2.1 keybinding code. |
Benno Schulenberg | b55ce29 | 2014-02-22 10:28:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 369 | Also included are some fixes for configuring using wide |

Chris Allegretta | 599c559 | 2008-08-05 01:35:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 371 | certain locales, and not saving the search history when |

Chris Allegretta | 9ba6606 | 2008-04-02 04:08:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 383 | fixes for the new user-rebindable keys (in particular |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 200f0c8 | 2007-12-20 18:57:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 405 | several bugs, among others: a segfault and several |
| 406 | cursor positioning problems when uncutting text or |
| 407 | inserting files into the current buffer; a problem where |
| 408 | the total number of characters would be miscalculated |
| 409 | when replacing single-byte characters with multibyte |
| 410 | ones; several minor issues with the statusbar prompt |
| 411 | involving text display and mouse support; and several |
| 412 | oddities when tab-completing in the middle of a line. |
| 413 | It also improves autodetection of DOS and Mac format |
| 414 | files, properly supports the mouse wheel when using a |
| 415 | version of ncurses built with the --enable-ext-mouse |
| 416 | option, fixes some problems under NetBSD curses, adds a |
| 417 | lot of translation updates, and adds more minor |
| 418 | documentation updates. Slang curses emulation support |
| 419 | has also been changed to turn off all the options that |
| 420 | --enable-tiny does, as it's hopelessly broken otherwise. |
| 421 | Finally, nano is now licensed under the GNU GPL version |
| 422 | 3 or later, and its documentation is now dual-licensed |
| 423 | under the GNU GPL version 3 or later and the GNU FDL |
| 424 | version 1.2 or later. Have fun. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 75500fd | 2007-12-17 23:07:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 432 | release fixes various problems (including a segfault) |
| 433 | when trying to open or save a file in a directory |
| 434 | beginning with "~" that isn't a home directory; fixes a |
| 435 | problem where a file with no name could be saved over an |
| 436 | existing filename with no warning about overwriting it; |
| 437 | properly disallows opening directories or device files |
| 438 | from "include" commands in nanorc files; no longer |
| 439 | displays a misleading prompt when trying to save in |
| 440 | restricted mode with the mark on; and properly supports |
| 441 | the Cancel and Shift-Cancel keys. It also improves |
| 442 | several color syntaxes to highlight trailing whitespace, |
| 443 | just as the Java syntax does, and adds yet more minor |
| 444 | documentation updates. Have fun. |
| 445 | |
| 446 | 2007.04.06 - GNU nano 2.0.4 heralds the dawn. This release contains |
| 447 | proper support for the Ctrl-[arrow key], Shift-[arrow |
| 448 | key], and F13-F16 keys under Xfce's Terminal. It also |
| 449 | adds still more minor documentation updates. Enjoy. |
| 450 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 8a89096 | 2007-01-29 12:33:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 451 | 2007.01.29 - GNU nano 2.0.3 flows toward its ending. This release |
| 452 | contains several minor optimizations to make the |
| 453 | executable a little smaller under some circumstances, |
| 454 | some translation updates, improvements to the color |
| 455 | syntax for Python, and still more minor documentation |
| 456 | updates. Have fun. |
| 457 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 518b7fa | 2006-12-21 02:47:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 458 | 2006.12.20 - GNU nano 2.0.2 forges ahead. This release fixes a segfault |
| 459 | when trying to save in a nonexistent directory; fixes |
| 460 | handling of strings containing nulls at the "Write File", |
| 461 | "Insert File", "Execute Command", and "Go to Directory" |
| 462 | prompts; fixes several minor memory leaks; fixes two |
| 463 | more potential compilation warnings; adds a few |
| 464 | translation updates; and adds a few more minor |
| 465 | documentation updates. Enjoy. |
| 466 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 16fd49b | 2006-11-20 14:38:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 467 | 2006.11.20 - GNU nano 2.0.1 emerges from its cocoon. This release |
| 468 | contains several bugfixes: saving one file over another |
| 469 | will now always warn about overwriting it, overwriting |
| 470 | a file is no longer possible when saving a new file in |
| 471 | restricted mode, and zero-length Unicode characters are |
| 472 | now highlighted properly when nano is built without |
| 473 | regular expression support. It also adds several minor |
| 474 | documentation updates. Have fun with it. |
| 475 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | f8df4a0 | 2006-11-06 16:03:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 476 | 2006.11.06 - GNU nano 2.0.0 does its little dance. This release adds |
| 477 | documentation updates and a few cosmetic tweaks. |
| 478 | For those who haven't been following nano 1.3 |
| 479 | development, there are a ton of new features, including |
| 480 | support for UTF-8, moving to a specified line and column |
| 481 | instead of just a line, improved color syntax |
| 482 | highlighting, inserting previously untypeable characters |
| 483 | using "Verbatim Input" mode, and copying text into the |
| 484 | cutbuffer without cutting it. There are also fixes for |
| 485 | some long-standing bugs, such as the "NumLock glitch" |
| 486 | from nano 1.2.x, and the inability to unjustify text |
| 487 | after resizing. Finally, there are also a ton of |
| 488 | translation updates and new translations, as well as new |
| 489 | color syntaxes. See the UPGRADE file for more |
| 490 | information, and enjoy the new stable release. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 1295699 | 2006-10-25 15:27:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 492 | 2006.10.25 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre3 learns to appreciate life. This |
| 493 | release fixes a bug where the screen sometimes wouldn't |
| 494 | be updated properly after copying text into the |
| 495 | cutbuffer, fixes a potential warning while compiling, |
| 496 | and fixes a few other minor inconsistencies. Have fun. |
| 497 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 2953f78 | 2006-10-02 04:08:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 498 | 2006.10.02 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre2 crosses the threshold. This release |
| 499 | fixes a few more bugs: cursor positioning after leaving |
| 500 | the statusbar prompt has been fixed, and verbatim input |
| 501 | at the statusbar prompt now properly handles newlines. |
| 502 | Enjoy. |
| 503 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 890ea44 | 2006-08-29 17:29:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 504 | 2006.08.29 - GNU nano 1.9.99pre1 passes through the flames. This |
| 505 | release fixes various bugs in the last version: the |
| 506 | mouse support properly ignores everything except clicks |
| 507 | of the left mouse button; the statusbar is now blanked |
| 508 | properly when it should be; indenting and unindenting |
| 509 | operate on the current line when the mark is off; nano |
| 510 | should build on Tru64, NetBSD, and other systems that |
| 511 | use termcap instead of terminfo in their curses |
| 512 | libraries; the built-in file browser now properly |
| 513 | navigates file lists that take up only one row; the |
| 514 | cursor position is now completely restored after |
| 515 | inserting a file into the current buffer, and after |
| 516 | inserting the output of a command into a new buffer; the |
| 517 | ^X shortcut at the search prompt has been removed, as |
| 518 | official Pico doesn't include it and it's too easily |
| 519 | confused with Exit; the screen is updated properly after |
| 520 | scrolling a line without moving the cursor; the keyboard |
| 521 | input routines behave more consistently; and so on. |
| 522 | Have fun with it. |
| 523 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | db5b547 | 2006-06-26 04:01:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 524 | 2006.06.26 - GNU nano 1.3.12 escapes the darkness. This release |
| 525 | contains the last new features that nano will have |
| 526 | before 2.0: copying text into the cutbuffer without |
| 527 | cutting it, indenting lines of marked text with a single |
| 528 | keystroke, reworked help text that should be easier for |
| 529 | new users, searching for filenames in the file browser, |
| 530 | the ability to include color regexes in files separate |
| 531 | from nanorc files, etc. It also contains many bugfixes. |
| 532 | Text can now be unjustified after justifying it and |
| 533 | resizing the window; the screen is now cleared when |
| 534 | suspending; the "default" color syntax is now handled |
| 535 | properly at all times; lines of text containing tabs are |
| 536 | now wrapped at the right place; double-column characters |
| 537 | are now properly displayed when past the right edge of |
| 538 | the screen; invalid multi-line color regexes are now |
| 539 | ignored; and so on. Enjoy. |
| 540 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 1856ec4 | 2006-03-30 06:34:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 541 | 2006.03.30 - GNU nano 1.3.11 awakens from its fever dream. This release |
| 542 | focuses mostly on bugfixes, which include better |
| 543 | handling of the cursor at the statusbar prompt, support |
David Lawrence Ramsey | ce5284b | 2006-03-30 07:01:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 544 | for certain combinations of Shift and keypad keys in |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 1856ec4 | 2006-03-30 06:34:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 545 | both normal and --rebind-keypad mode, a fix for a minor |
| 546 | display problem after some searches, a real fix for a |
| 547 | long-standing segfault when displaying overly long |
| 548 | lines, and a real fix for nano's not hanging up properly |
| 549 | in xterm under certain circumstances. There are also |
| 550 | several new features, such as the ability to set the |
| 551 | characters used as brackets when searching for matching |
| 552 | brackets, and tab completion of directories at the "Go |
| 553 | To Directory" prompt. Have fun. |
| 554 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 2cd986c | 2005-12-23 16:08:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 555 | 2005.12.23 - GNU nano 1.3.10 rises to the surface. This release |
| 556 | contains several new features as well as fixes for |
| 557 | several longstanding bugs. The former include the |
| 558 | ability to scroll up or down single lines without |
| 559 | scrolling the cursor, reworked bracket searching code |
| 560 | that doesn't require regular expression support, |
| 561 | reworked command execution code that uses $SHELL if |
| 562 | available instead of hardcoding "/bin/sh", and the |
| 563 | ability to no longer add newlines to files that don't |
| 564 | end in them via the -L/--nonewlines option. The latter |
| 565 | include fixes to the statusbar prompt so that mouse |
| 566 | clicks work properly on it, fixes to the Yes/No/All |
| 567 | prompt so that mouse clicks on it work properly when |
| 568 | -O/--morespace is used, and fixes to the resize handling |
| 569 | so that nano dies properly when the terminal is too |
| 570 | small to display a prompt. Enjoy. |
| 571 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 5a9d493 | 2005-10-24 01:44:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 572 | 2005.10.23 - GNU nano 1.3.9 breaks through the wall. This release |
| 573 | includes major enhancements as well as bugfixes. The |
| 574 | enhancements include better handling of invalid UTF-8, |
| 575 | expansion of the word count option to also count lines |
| 576 | and characters in the file or selection, more efficient |
| 577 | screen update routines, a readded -K/--rebindkeypad |
| 578 | option to work around numeric keypad problems on |
| 579 | terminals that don't show the usual NumLock glitch, a |
| 580 | new -W/--wordbounds option to properly detect words |
| 581 | containing punctuation when moving among them, and |
| 582 | massive improvements to the color code such as handling |
| 583 | of unspecified foreground colors, more efficient memory |
| 584 | usage for color regexes, and new reserved syntaxes |
| 585 | "default" and "none". The bugfixes include fixes for |
| 586 | the rewritten history code, fixes for potential line |
| 587 | numbering problems on 64-bit platforms, fixes for a few |
| 588 | long-standing minor display problems, a fix for erroneous |
| 589 | hangups occurring while waiting for input, and a fix for |
| 590 | a segfault when displaying certain overly long lines. |
| 591 | Have fun with it. |
| 592 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 665b1fb | 2005-06-30 17:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 593 | 2005.06.30 - GNU nano 1.3.8 floats at its own level. This release |
| 594 | contains several new features. Among other things, you |
| 595 | can now move to a specified column number as well as |
| 596 | line number within a file, file backups saved in a |
| 597 | backup directory will have unique names, the search and |
| 598 | replace history routines should work more consistently, |
| 599 | you can get a word count by pressing Meta-D at the edit |
| 600 | window, and there's a new -E/--tabstospaces option to |
| 601 | convert all typed tabs to spaces (--backupdir's short |
| 602 | option has been changed to -C). In terms of bugfixes, |
| 603 | this release contains fixes for minor problems with |
| 604 | screen updates, UTF-8 display, and flow control; a fix |
| 605 | for a segfault when displaying some lines ending with |
| 606 | tabs; better handling of constant cursor position |
| 607 | display; improved color parsing in the rcfile; and |
| 608 | support for the "Regexp" toggle in tiny mode |
| 609 | (-R/--regexp is gone, and --restricted's short option |
| 610 | has been changed to -R), among other things. Enjoy. |
| 611 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | c32a5e7 | 2005-04-10 03:58:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 612 | 2005.04.10 - GNU nano 1.3.7 claws its way to the top. This release |
| 613 | mostly contains bugfixes for the massive amount of new |
| 614 | code in 1.3.6. Among other things, nano builds with |
| 615 | debug support again; going into the help browser at the |
| 616 | "Read File" prompt no longer kicks you out of the prompt |
| 617 | after you exit the help browser; paragraph searching no |
| 618 | longer skips over certain cases of single-line |
| 619 | paragraphs; the titlebar no longer cuts off some UTF-8 |
| 620 | strings prematurely; and the text displayed in the help |
| 621 | browser is now wrapped as it was in nano 1.2.x, taking |
| 622 | UTF-8 support into account. New features include an |
| 623 | --enable/disable-utf8 configure option to explicitly |
| 624 | turn detection of UTF-8 support on or off, and sample |
| 625 | regexes for C++ as well as C. Have fun. |
| 626 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | bec01bd | 2005-03-20 20:02:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 627 | 2005.03.20 - GNU nano 1.3.6 "shout it from the rooftops" is released. |
| 628 | This release finally includes the long-awaited support |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 7ec8d7c | 2005-03-21 08:03:46 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 629 | for UTF-8. Other new features include the ability to |
David Lawrence Ramsey | bec01bd | 2005-03-20 20:02:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 630 | insert UTF-8 characters using verbatim input; the |
| 631 | ability to delete all text from the cursor position to |
| 632 | the end of the file via ^W^X as (patched) Pico does; |
| 633 | improvements to input and output so that pasted text |
| 634 | displays faster, improvements to the statusbar prompt so |
| 635 | that more edit window shortcuts, including verbatim |
| 636 | input and previous/next word search, work in it; a new |
| 637 | option to allow using the formerly always-blank second |
| 638 | line of the screen as part of the edit window; and the |
| 639 | ability to refresh the help browser and file browser |
| 640 | windows via Ctrl-L. Notable bug fixes include a fix for |
| 641 | a segfault when using full justify, and a fix for the |
| 642 | long-standing bug where nano would keep running if the |
| 643 | terminal it was in died unexpectedly. Enjoy. |
| 644 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 2c86dc6 | 2004-11-22 17:55:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 645 | 2004.11.22 - GNU nano 1.3.5 hurls itself forward. New features in this |
| 646 | release include the ability to replace only marked text |
| 647 | when the mark is on, improvements to smooth scrolling so |
| 648 | that it applies everywhere instead of just affecting the |
| 649 | movement keys, improvements to how files are opened so |
| 650 | that they are no longer displayed unnecessarily, support |
| 651 | for multiple +LINE arguments in addition to multiple |
| 652 | filenames on the command line, autodetection of the |
| 653 | format to save a file in based on the format it was in |
| 654 | when it was opened, the ability to toggle both ways |
| 655 | between the "Read File" and "Execute Command" prompts |
| 656 | and the "Search" and "Go to Line" prompts, and support |
| 657 | for cross-compiling nano. As for bug fixes, the |
| 658 | "tabsize" nanorc option works again, mouse clicks on the |
| 659 | shortcut list trigger the right shortcuts again, |
| 660 | tab-completing a filename with %'s in it no longer |
| 661 | causes a segfault, the internal spell checker no longer |
| 662 | skips words after the cursor position when the cursor is |
| 663 | in the middle of the file, and spell checking of only |
| 664 | marked text now works properly. Have fun with it. |
| 665 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | c6718cf | 2004-08-17 20:38:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 666 | 2004.08.17 - GNU nano 1.3.4 marches forth after a false start. This |
| 667 | release mainly features fixes for the bugs that crept |
| 668 | into the last release. Among other things, nano now |
| 669 | compiles again with certain options, quoted justify now |
| 670 | works properly on systems without regex.h, full justify |
| 671 | no longer segfaults when used on a file with no |
| 672 | paragraphs, previous paragraph searching works properly |
| 673 | again, tab completion is properly disabled when needed |
| 674 | in restricted mode, Ctrl-C is no longer disabled after |
| 675 | using the alternate spell checker, the permissions of a |
| 676 | newly created file now match those of nano 1.2.x again, |
| 677 | and replacing all text in a file now properly updates |
| 678 | the screen in all cases. New features include sample |
| 679 | regexes for patch files, improvements to the sample |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 86058fa | 2007-01-17 16:24:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 680 | regexes for C files, and support for strings greater |
| 681 | than 1023 characters and/or containing nulls in |
David Lawrence Ramsey | c6718cf | 2004-08-17 20:38:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 682 | .nano_history. Additionally, the full justify keystroke |
| 683 | has been changed to match current Pico, and whitespace |
| 684 | display mode is now turned off by default. Enjoy. |
| 685 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | e115156 | 2004-06-28 13:17:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 686 | 2004.06.28 - GNU nano 1.3.3 marches forth. There are several new |
| 687 | features in this release, including a restricted mode |
| 688 | that provides better security than just setting an |
| 689 | operating directory, the ability to justify the entire |
| 690 | file at once, support for a "smart" home key that can |
| 691 | leap from the beginning of text on a line to the true |
| 692 | beginning of the line (or the reverse) in one stroke, |
| 693 | support for specifying an alternative spell checker in |
| 694 | $SPELL, the ability to specify the characters used to |
| 695 | display spaces and tabs so that they can easily be told |
| 696 | apart, and the ability to specify the characters marking |
| 697 | the ends of sentences as used in justification. There |
| 698 | are also several bug fixes; among other things, |
| 699 | justification now keeps spaces at the ends of all but |
| 700 | the last line of a paragraph as Pico does, saving a |
| 701 | marked selection no longer changes the current filename |
| 702 | to the filename the selection was saved under, resizing |
| 703 | now works better and no longer corrupts the screen under |
| 704 | slang, and the movement functions now avoid doing |
| 705 | unnecessary redraws and hence work faster. In short, |
| 706 | there are a lot of new things to play with. Enjoy. |
| 707 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | f70f0cf | 2004-03-31 18:42:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 708 | 2004.03.31 - GNU nano 1.3.2 is prepared for the void. New features in |
| 709 | this release include the ability to spell-check only |
| 710 | marked text and the ability to save all backup files in |
| 711 | a specified directory instead of wherever the original |
| 712 | files are. Bug fixes include a fix for a segfault when |
| 713 | replacing certain regular expressions, fixes for some |
| 714 | misbehavior when doing searches, minor fixes to verbatim |
| 715 | input mode and keyboard input in general, better |
| 716 | handling of window resizes at certain times, and |
| 717 | allowing the mark to be saved properly again when |
| 718 | switching between multiple file buffers. nano has also |
| 719 | been ported to the Tandem NonStop Kernel. Have fun. |
| 720 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | fa1497b | 2004-01-09 23:22:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 721 | 2004.01.09 - GNU nano 1.3.1 is outside the gates. This release |
| 722 | features, among other things, fixes for the input |
| 723 | routines to deal with some problems they had, a |
| 724 | reorganized shortcut list for the help browser, minor |
| 725 | Pico compatibility improvements for the file browser, |
| 726 | fixes for misbehavior when replacing certain regular |
| 727 | expressions, and the ability to highlight those regular |
| 728 | expressions properly. It also allows searching without |
| 729 | prompting to work in view mode, adds support for glib |
| 730 | 2.x for those systems that need it, updates the .spec |
| 731 | file for the 1.3 branch, prompts you first when you try |
| 732 | to save a file under a different name, and adds a new |
| 733 | verbatim input mode that acts as ^V does under vi, but |
| 734 | with additional Pico compatibility (explained in the |
| 735 | FAQ). Basically, a bunch of fixes and a few new |
| 736 | features for your editor of choice. Enjoy. |
| 737 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 133f7b1 | 2003-10-22 17:15:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 738 | 2003.10.22 - GNU nano 1.3.0 is loosed upon the world. This is the first |
| 739 | release in the unstable 1.3.x series, and as such it |
| 740 | includes a lot of new features, including the addition |
| 741 | of a -d option for those FreeBSD users with Backspace |
| 742 | keys that act like Delete keys, the ability to repeat |
| 743 | the last search without prompting, the ability to search |
| 744 | for the beginning or end of a paragraph, new smooth |
| 745 | paging routines to go with the smooth scrolling |
| 746 | routines, and various improvements to the input and |
| 747 | display routines to make them behave more intuitively. |
| 748 | It also includes the usual load of bugfixes. Enjoy. |
| 749 | |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 750 | 2003.08.11 - GNU nano 1.2.2 is released, only four months since the |
Chris Allegretta | 3364214 | 2003-08-12 01:49:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 751 | last version :-). This release includes fixes for |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 752 | broken regex detection, search history recall, and |
| 753 | keypad handling with -K. Debugging strings are no |
| 754 | longer translated and comments denote where translations |
David Lawrence Ramsey | b159f94 | 2006-07-28 17:06:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 755 | should be as short as possible (i.e. the statusbar). |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 756 | There are new examples for syntax highlighting, and |
| 757 | documentation updates and fixes. The 1.3.0 CVS tree |
| 758 | will be opening soon for all your nano desires, so stay |

Chris Allegretta | aa45931 | 2003-04-20 16:20:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 761 | 2003.04.19 - Happy Easter! GNU nano 1.2.1 is released. This release |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 762 | features a new check for broken regexec() |
Chris Allegretta | aa45931 | 2003-04-20 16:20:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 763 | implementations and some variable, function and macro |
| 764 | cleanups. Fixes are included for search history, |
| 765 | cutting marked text, alt keyboard mode, and the usual |
| 766 | translation and documentation updates. |

Chris Allegretta | 2b4ead9 | 2003-02-20 01:56:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 768 | 2003.02.19 - GNU nano 1.2.0 is released. Few changes from pre3, just |
| 769 | some doc and translation updates, and bugfixes for |
| 770 | justify and file conversion. For those of you who |
| 771 | haven't kept up with the 1.1 unstable series, v1.2 |
| 772 | brings nanorc support, color syntax highlighting, |
| 773 | multiple file buffers, search/replace history and much |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 774 | much more. Please read the UPGRADE file for details, |
| 775 | and enjoy GNU nano 1.2.0. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 777 | 2003.02.13 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre3 "The last testing version, no |
Chris Allegretta | 7ba3279 | 2003-02-14 03:09:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 778 | really!" is released. This release includes fixes for |
| 779 | wrapping (again), resizing, color syntax highlighting, |
| 780 | rcfile parsing, the mouse code, more memory leaks, and |
| 781 | some reversion of the code to get the user's home |
| 782 | directory (nano will now again rely on $HOME). There |
| 783 | are also translation updates, a new manual page for the |
| 784 | nanorc file, and an UPGRADE file detailing the changes |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 785 | since version 1.0. Please submit reports for any bugs |
Chris Allegretta | 7ba3279 | 2003-02-14 03:09:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 786 | you might find to the development team |
| 787 | (nano-devel@gnu.org), and enjoy nano almost-1.2.0 ;-) |

Chris Allegretta | 5c8c276 | 2003-02-03 15:21:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 789 | 2003.02.03 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre2 "bugs in my pockets, bugs in my |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 790 | shoes" is released. There are, not surprisingly, only |
| 791 | bugfixes in this release as we move toward the stable |
| 792 | 1.2.0 release. Fixes are included for translatable |
| 793 | string format, subexpression replacement, constant |
| 794 | cursor position, invalid search regexes, justify, screen |
| 795 | state on SIGHUP and SIGTERM, cutting to end cuts with |
| 796 | long lines, many file browser and operating directory |
| 797 | bugs, memory and file descriptor leaks, marker code, |
| 798 | spell checker, the mouse code with long lines, multiple |
| 799 | buffers and non-file open errors, replacement string |
| 800 | length, and a silly but serious history message crash. |
| 801 | There is also a drastic improvement in CPU utilization |
| 802 | for the color regex code. |
Chris Allegretta | 5c8c276 | 2003-02-03 15:21:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 803 | Depending on the number of bugs found in this |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 804 | release, there may be a 1.1.99pre3 or RC1, or just a |
| 805 | 1.2.0 release. Most of the major bugs seem to have been |
| 806 | worked out, so if you are waiting for a good time to |
| 807 | test nano before the official 1.2.0 release, this would |
| 808 | be the one to use. Happy bug hunting! |

Chris Allegretta | d46f544 | 2003-01-17 21:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 810 | 2003.01.17 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre1 "enough already" has been released. |
| 811 | This release is, barring bug fixes and documentation |
| 812 | updates, what version 1.2.0 has looked like, feature |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 813 | wise. There will very likely be bugs, just due the |
| 814 | volume of changes made in this release. Search and |
| 815 | replace string history has been added, including an |
| 816 | option to log history to ~/.nano_history (-H, |
| 817 | --historylog). Because of this, the Pico incompatible |
| 818 | search/replace string behavior that used to be the |
| 819 | default has been deleted. The old "pico" flag (-p) is |
| 820 | now compatible with Pico's "preserve" mode for allowing |
| 821 | flow control characters; by default this version ignores |
| 822 | both ^Q and ^S. The --disable-wrapping-as-root |
| 823 | configure option has been forward ported from version |
| 824 | 1.0.x, and a new flag to enable all extra options |
| 825 | (--enable-all) has been added. The internal spell |
| 826 | checker has been improved, meaning you will now be |
| 827 | prompted only once for each unique capitalization of a |
| 828 | given word. |
Chris Allegretta | d46f544 | 2003-01-17 21:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 829 | There have also been lots of bug fixes, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 830 | including the "trying to insert a directory name in |
Chris Allegretta | d46f544 | 2003-01-17 21:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 831 | multibuffer mode bug", the ugly spell checker scrolling, |
| 832 | the color code, cutting text crashes, justification, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 833 | deleting the "magic line" via replace, and cursor |
| 834 | positioning on the statusbar. There have also been the |
| 835 | usual helping of translation and documentation updates. |
Chris Allegretta | d46f544 | 2003-01-17 21:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 836 | Please send all new feedback on this release |
| 837 | direct to the development list (nano-devel@gnu.org). |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 839 | 10/24/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.12 "Make Jordi happy" is released. This |
David Lawrence Ramsey | e30c308 | 2006-04-20 03:20:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 840 | release demonstrates that nano is starting to freeze for |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 841 | version 1.2. New features include a Meta-Y toggle for |
| 842 | syntax highlighting, pluralized i18n, and a handler for |
| 843 | SIGTERM. Nano now ignores XOFF (^S) to stop accidental |
| 844 | lock-ups, and no longer references malloc.h. |
Chris Allegretta | 2257893 | 2002-10-25 03:14:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 845 | Also included are fixes for zero-length regex |
| 846 | matches, segfaults with --disable-mouse, justification, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 847 | memory corruption with the browser, version and help |
| 848 | cmdline output, and translation updates. Aside from the |
| 849 | (currently up in the air) search history behavior, the |
| 850 | next version of nano should be 1.1.99pre1. Have fun! |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 852 | 10/01/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.11 "Oddball" is released. This release |
| 853 | features a new version of gettext, a new and improved |
| 854 | syntax highlighting engine, and some updates for the |
| 855 | nanorc.sample file. The toggles for case sensitivity |
| 856 | (Meta-C) and regular expressions (Meta-R) have changed |
| 857 | in the search and replace prompts, multibuffer status is |
| 858 | now displayed and can be toggled from the insert file |
| 859 | menu, and some wrapping behavior that changed in 1.1.10 |
| 860 | has reverted. The --enable-color warning was also made |
| 861 | less severe, as the color syntax code has improved, and |
| 862 | nano now uses extended regexes in the .nanorc file. |
| 863 | Also included are fixes for various memory |
| 864 | leaks, the operating directory option, username tab |
| 865 | completion, the page_up and down arrow, go to previous |
| 866 | word and next word, nanorc parser and line wrapping |
| 867 | code. Have fun! |

Chris Allegretta | 70bb886 | 2002-07-24 01:34:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 869 | 07/25/2002 - At long last! GNU nano 1.1.10 "What didn't we break?" is |
| 870 | released. This version of GNU nano features version |
| 871 | 0.11.2 of gettext, building with automake 1.6, some new |
| 872 | code for displaying control characters, browser |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 873 | improvements, a new backup file option (-B, --backup), a |
| 874 | new option to ignore rc files (-I,--ignorercfiles), |
Chris Allegretta | 70bb886 | 2002-07-24 01:34:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 875 | compatibility with -pedantic, handling null characters |
| 876 | before EOF, a slightly sportier nanorc.sample and more. |
Benno Schulenberg | 16fe178 | 2014-02-27 20:54:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 877 | Fixes are included for justification, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 878 | the reading and writing file routines, resizing and fill |
| 879 | length, millions of memory leaks, the usage screen was |
Chris Allegretta | 1642e6a | 2013-01-03 04:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 880 | updated, and the --quotestr and --regexp really work |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 881 | now ;-) Enjoy :) |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 883 | 05/12/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.9 is released, happy Mother's Day! This |
| 884 | release includes many new features, including a prepend |
| 885 | mode (^O,M-P), a new "syntax" command in the .nanorc to |
| 886 | allow multiple syntax highlighting types, and a new -Y, |
| 887 | --syntax flag to set a specific one if there's no |
David Lawrence Ramsey | b159f94 | 2006-07-28 17:06:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 888 | filename regex to match it against (i.e. w/mutt). The |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 889 | ^space and M-space keys will now show up in the help |
| 890 | menu, which itself has been tweaked a bit, and many more |
| 891 | configure options should now cooperate (like the odd |
| 892 | pairing of --enable-tiny and --enable-multibuffer). The |
| 893 | marker should now work when using multiple buffers, and |
| 894 | the huge memory leak in color syntax highlighting has |
| 895 | been fixed. A lot of new stuff for everyone's favorite |
| 896 | text editor ;) Have fun! |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 900 | file is now included in the distribution. There are |
| 901 | cleanups in the usage code, fixes for regex parsing, the |
| 902 | file browser, the NO_CONVERT auto-detect, indented |
| 903 | justification, the internal spell checker, and a serious |
| 904 | bug where reading a file of 0 lines would hang nano. |
| 905 | Also, the "show position" code now shows the starting |
Chris Allegretta | 4ceb30c | 2002-03-30 16:56:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 906 | column as 1 instead of 0. Have fun! |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 81bfd82 | 2006-03-26 17:41:47 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 918 | history, nano now reads SYSCONFDIR/nanorc if rc file |

Chris Allegretta | 97489d2 | 2002-03-05 23:47:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 921 | This release also includes fixes for some memory |

Chris Allegretta | 491029e | 2002-01-25 17:02:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 927 | 01/25/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.6 is released. Lots of new features in this |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 928 | release. New Meta-keys were added as alternates for |
Chris Allegretta | 05f4065 | 2002-01-23 02:37:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 929 | control sequences: Meta-A for the marker key (^^), and |
| 930 | Meta-G for the 'goto dir' key in the file browser (^_). |
| 931 | The color syntax highlighting now supports multiple |
| 932 | lines via start="regex" end="regex" syntax, and the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 933 | .nanorc regex format itself has changed. Also, the |
Chris Allegretta | 05f4065 | 2002-01-23 02:37:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 934 | gettext code was upgraded to version 0.10.40, and nano |

Chris Allegretta | 05f4065 | 2002-01-23 02:37:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 937 | For bugfixes, there are fixes for spelling, |
| 938 | stray newlines in the usage() function, suspend issues |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 939 | with tcsh, auto-indent and wrapping clashes, ugly code |
Chris Allegretta | 05f4065 | 2002-01-23 02:37:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 940 | in rcfile.c, global variable compatibility with AIX. |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 941 | There are also oodles of translation updates. Have fun |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 944 | 01/05/2002 - GNU nano 1.1.5 is out. The main new feature in this |
| 945 | release is the changed behavior of the keypad. Nano now |
Chris Allegretta | bdea41e | 2002-01-05 18:54:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 946 | does the Right Thing and used keypad() by default. If |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 947 | you wish to use the keypad arrow keys in certain |
| 948 | terminals, you may use the -K or --keypad flag to use |
| 949 | the old behavior. Users of other OSes should see better |
| 950 | handling of their non-keypad keys in this release. Other |
| 951 | changes include more Hurd fixes, fixes parsing the |
| 952 | .nanorc, display fixes for the color syntax |
Chris Allegretta | bdea41e | 2002-01-05 18:54:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 953 | highlighting, gettext stabilization and many translation |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 954 | updates. This is almost like a stable release, much |
| 955 | like in the 0.9.x series when every other release was |
| 956 | the most stable one :) Have fun! |
| 957 | |
| 958 | 12/11/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.4 is released. This release contains |
Chris Allegretta | 7bf2509 | 2001-12-12 02:44:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 959 | rudimentary color syntax support (but it's still |
| 960 | broken), compatibility fixes for the Hurd and FreeBSD, |
| 961 | spell checker and wrapping fixes, and more. It seems |
| 962 | that the amount of interest in the code is inversely |
| 963 | proportional to the amount of time since last release, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 964 | so it's time to show the world all the changes since |
Chris Allegretta | 7bf2509 | 2001-12-12 02:44:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 965 | 1.1.3 ;) Have fun with it! |

| 967 | 10/26/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.3 is released. As far as new features go, |
| 968 | the help system is now available for all functions in |
| 969 | the editor. Also, nano will also now print a message on |
| 970 | the status bar when it automatically converts a file |
| 971 | from Mac or DOS format, and trying to load a file that |
| 972 | has already been loaded in multibuffer mode will now |
| 973 | also cause an error message. There is now a "goto |
| 974 | previous word" which you can use by hitting Meta-Space |
| 975 | Bar. |
| 976 | As for fixes, a SEVERE bug in the null_at code |
| 977 | which discarded the memory address of reallocated memory |
| 978 | has been fixed. This is probably the biggest bug fix in |
| 979 | well over the last year of development. There are also |
| 980 | some display fixes for when the screen shouldn't center |
| 981 | itself on cut or uncut text. Also, the comments in the |
| 982 | header files incorrectly said that nano was distributed |
| 983 | under version 1 of the GPL when the accompanying license |
| 984 | was the GPLv2. |
Chris Allegretta | dc57bba | 2001-10-26 16:14:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 985 | If you're using nano-1.1, it is highly |
Chris Allegretta | d46f544 | 2003-01-17 21:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 986 | recommended you upgrade to this release. If using 1.0, |
Chris Allegretta | dc57bba | 2001-10-26 16:14:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 987 | wait for version 1.0.6 which should be available early |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 991 | release, including support for auto-converting from DOS |
| 992 | and Mac formatted files, as well as toggles for writing |
| 993 | out files in these formats. Pico's -o flag has been |
| 994 | implemented, as has some new smooth scrolling code |
| 995 | (which can be used in place of the default jerky |
| 996 | scrolling behavior). Also, there is now a "find |
| 997 | matching bracket/brace/etc" feature (Meta-]). The |
| 998 | .nanorc file now accepts setting the tabsize, and the |
| 999 | help text at the bottom of the editor is now better |
| 1000 | spaced out in the search/replace prompts. There are |
| 1001 | also the usual helping of bugfixes, translation updates |
| 1002 | and, surely a bug or two. You better get ready! |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1004 | 07/28/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.1 is released. Our second 1.1 unstable |
| 1005 | release features many bugfixes from the initial release, |
| 1006 | in particular fixes for the multibuffer code, and |
| 1007 | various compiler macro fixes. The shortcut lists for |
Chris Allegretta | 0e8c8d8 | 2001-07-29 01:16:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1008 | the search and replace prompts are a little more logical |
| 1009 | (with cancel the last option again), and the included |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1010 | gettext was re-downgraded to 0.10.35 due to problems on |
| 1011 | the PPC platform. GNU nano now includes its own aclocal |
| 1012 | macros in the m4/ directory to allow rebuilding the |
| 1013 | configure script to work on platforms regardless of |
Chris Allegretta | 0e8c8d8 | 2001-07-29 01:16:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1014 | their gettext version. |

Chris Allegretta | 9a74860 | 2001-07-15 16:07:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1016 | 07/15/2001 - GNU nano 1.1.0 is released. This is the first release |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1017 | in the 1.1.x unstable series of GNU nano. It |
| 1018 | incorporates all changes up to the 1.0.3 release, and |
| 1019 | also includes many many new features, including |
| 1020 | appending to as well as overwriting files, writing |
| 1021 | marked text to a separate file, dynamic wrap length, |
| 1022 | lots more compatibility with Pico, and new optional |
| 1023 | features like .nanorc file support and multiple file |
| 1024 | buffers! All in all, plenty of new stuff that's sure to |
| 1025 | introduce lots of bugs ;-) Have fun with it, but be |
| 1026 | careful, unstable means unstable. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 6c6d2bc | 2006-11-08 18:03:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1028 | 07/01/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.3 is the "mutt" release. This release |
| 1029 | features oodles of bug fixes with cutting text, |
| 1030 | especially with the -k (cut to end) option. There is |
| 1031 | also a new suspend handler which should make nano play |
| 1032 | better with mutt (the code for which came from mutt |
| 1033 | itself; many many thanks to Jordi Mallach and Tom Lear |
| 1034 | for working late into the night fixing this). Nano now |
| 1035 | also features mutt's case insensitive string compare |
| 1036 | function for more speed and less memory usage. Two new |
| 1037 | translations are included, Ukrainian and Russian. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 6c6d2bc | 2006-11-08 18:03:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1039 | 05/12/2001 - GNU nano 1.0.2 is the "just the bugfixes ma'am" release. |
| 1040 | The most noticeable fixes are for display errors using |
| 1041 | page up/down with the marker code, and view mode (-v) |
| 1042 | not stopping the replace function. Other fixes include |
| 1043 | being able to use the arrow keys while holding down the |
| 1044 | ctrl key in certain TERMs, and there are many |
| 1045 | documentation updates and spelling tweaks. We also have |
| 1046 | a new Galician translation (provided by Jacobo Tarrío). |
| 1047 | Have fun with it! |

| 1050 | configure option for those who want to disable all word |
| 1051 | wrapping from nano, --disable-wrapping. Bug fixes this |
| 1052 | release include some bugs with autoconf and i18n, and |
| 1053 | several fixes in the file browser including a segfault |
| 1054 | on Solaris, symlinks to directories now work properly, |
| 1055 | and nano now sorts files case insensitively like Pilot. |
| 1056 | Have fun with it. |

Chris Allegretta | 4aa302f | 2001-03-18 18:50:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1059 | has been fixed, as well as strange bug when using Pico |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1060 | mode and regex search. There have also been some minor |
Chris Allegretta | 4aa302f | 2001-03-18 18:50:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1061 | spelling and documentation updates. As stated on the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1062 | website, there are currently no known bugs with nano, |
| 1063 | but some will pop up eventually and they will be |
| 1064 | addressed in subsequent releases. We hope you enjoy |
| 1065 | this first stable release of nano, and as always, |

| 1069 | important being that nano is now officially a GNU |
| 1070 | program. Some changes have been made for GNU |
| 1071 | compatibility (like the default list of shortcuts, "^G |
| 1072 | Get Help" is now Listed and "^_ Goto Line" is not). The |
| 1073 | Yes/No/All keys have finally been internationalized |
| 1074 | also. All in all, quite a few changes, considering nano |
| 1075 | is supposed to be in a code freeze. But there are the |
| 1076 | usual helping of bugfixes, a nasty bug when cutting text |
| 1077 | in -k mode and some compatibility issues with older |
| 1078 | ncurses libraries have also been fixed. All in all, a |
| 1079 | lot to see. |

Chris Allegretta | 90e0404 | 2001-01-31 18:01:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1081 | 01/31/2001 - Nano 0.9.99pre2 is released. Not surprisingly, all that is |
| 1082 | new is bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes. There were a few |
| 1083 | cleanups in unneeded global variables and duplicate |
| 1084 | functions, but most is just fixing. Specifically, there |
| 1085 | is now a preliminary (read: needs testing) fix for |
| 1086 | resizing the editor in any mode other than normal edit |
| 1087 | mode. Other fixes include some more tab completion |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1088 | segfaults, and an silly segfault that occurred when |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1090 | an initial write error). Slowly but surely, on toward |
| 1091 | 1.0 we travel. |

Chris Allegretta | 9faa3f1 | 2001-01-18 04:37:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1094 | release of nano, and is also the first release since the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1095 | code freeze for nano 1.0. Don't expect (or request) any |
Chris Allegretta | 9faa3f1 | 2001-01-18 04:37:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1096 | new features between now and nano 1.0, only bugfixes, |
| 1097 | optimizations and doc/translation updates. For fixes, a |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1098 | nasty segfault when trying to insert one's home |
| 1099 | directory (~), some checks for the NumLock key making |
| 1100 | the keypad go awry, window size sanity checks, many |
| 1101 | autoconf fixes, and support for the KDE konsole keypad |
| 1102 | layout. Have fun. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1104 | 01/07/2001 - Nano 0.9.25 is the "Just one more feature I swear!" |
| 1105 | release. It includes one new feature that Pico has had |
| 1106 | forever, a built-in file browser. Since not everyone |
| 1107 | may want this option, there is a --disable-browser |
| 1108 | option to the configure script as well. Other changes |
| 1109 | include slightly different keypad handling, and a bugfix |
| 1110 | for crashes when tab completion in certain instances. |
| 1111 | Have fun and Happy New Year! |

Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1113 | 12/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.24 is released. This version contains the last of |
Chris Allegretta | 66149e7 | 2000-12-19 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1114 | the security fixes for writing files, as well as for a |
| 1115 | nasty segfault when nano is unable to open a file for |
| 1116 | reading, among other fixes. Nano also now cowardly |
| 1117 | refuses to open device files, to stop silly things like |
| 1118 | trying to open /dev/zero. New features include being |
| 1119 | Able to use Meta-Meta-<key> as Control-<key>, better |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1120 | HURD support, and some new flags have been added for |
| 1121 | Pico compatibility. Upgrading to this version is highly |
Chris Allegretta | 66149e7 | 2000-12-19 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1122 | recommended. |

Chris Allegretta | 8816760 | 2000-12-09 00:07:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1124 | 12/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.23 is the "race conditions bite" release. The |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1126 | fix for the security issue in nano with following |
| 1127 | symbolic links. Hopefully this will fix the problem |
| 1128 | permanently. The --nofollow option also works again for |
| 1129 | those who are real security nuts. There are also some |
| 1130 | display and search fixes, and the --disable-spell |
| 1131 | function was renamed to --disable-speller to be in line |
| 1132 | with nano and Pico's "speller" term. |

Chris Allegretta | ac139dd | 2000-12-02 21:31:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1135 | additions than imaginable. The most important change is |
| 1136 | a fix for unsafe handling of symbolic links which could |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1137 | lead to symlink attacks if nano were to exit because of |
| 1138 | an error or signal. Also there are better checks when |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1140 | As for new features, username tab completion is now |
| 1141 | working well, the internal spell checker code has been |
Chris Allegretta | ac139dd | 2000-12-02 21:31:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1142 | tweaked, you can now unjustify if you don't like how the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1143 | justify formatted your text, and there are more options |
| 1144 | for configure, including --disable-spell and |
Chris Allegretta | 9ee2a0d | 2000-12-02 21:50:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1145 | --disable-justify and --enable-extra (for those who like |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1146 | surprises). All in all, a whole lot of changes in a |
| 1147 | little over a week. |

Chris Allegretta | 71366cd | 2000-11-23 21:04:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1150 | a big turkey" release. It fixes several bugs introduced |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1151 | by the previous version, as well as a few long- standing |
| 1152 | display bugs. All 0.9.20 users are strongly encouraged |
| 1153 | to upgrade to this release. |

| 1155 | 11/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.20 is finally out the door. Probably the biggest |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1156 | change is the brand new way nano displays previous |
| 1157 | search and replace strings (they are now editable!) |
| 1158 | This is a break from Pico's (inconsistent) interface, so |
| 1159 | if you don't like the new way, "Pico" mode (-p on the |
| 1160 | command line or Meta-P within nano) still works the |
| 1161 | "old" way. |
Chris Allegretta | 44b52ca | 2000-11-18 16:46:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1162 | Other new features include being able to deal with |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1163 | search strings of any length, a new internal spell |
| 1164 | feature (courtesy of Mr. Rocco Corsi) and tab completion |
| 1165 | when reading in or writing out files! There's also the |
| 1166 | usual billion or so bug fixes. Feedback on this release |
| 1167 | is welcome because so much has changed, especially with |
| 1168 | the previous string display in search and replace. |

| 1174 | a week and needs a distraction" release. There are only |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1175 | a few actual code changes, mainly portability and |
| 1176 | compiler warning fixes. Nano now also supports |
| 1177 | PDCurses, which enables easily-built nano executables |
| 1178 | for Windows NT and 95/98 for the brave. The official |
| 1179 | nano site has changed (again) as well, check out |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1183 | handling code, Cygwin support out of the box, and a more |
| 1184 | portable handler for the NOHELP toggle. There is also a |
| 1185 | fix for a somewhat serious bug whereby trying to insert |
| 1186 | a directory instead of a normal file would destroy the |
| 1187 | contents of the editor. A must-see. Four stars. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1192 | display support and toggle support for most of the |

| 1197 | release should fix a few of the holes that 0.9.15 dug. |
| 1198 | The "cutting text on the first line" bug is fixed, as is |
| 1199 | the "cutting text on the last line" bug. Nice symmetry |
| 1200 | there huh? Also the --tabsize argument should now work |
| 1201 | as well as by using -T. |

Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1203 | 08/03/2000 - Nano 0.9.15 is the "I can't think of a release description" |
Chris Allegretta | 0bf4e14 | 2000-08-04 02:42:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1204 | release. There are the usual gala of display bugfixes, |
Chris Allegretta | 1642e6a | 2013-01-03 04:41:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1205 | a fix for the nasty bug in -k mode that could create |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1206 | a loop in the file being edited, and some other code |
Chris Allegretta | 0bf4e14 | 2000-08-04 02:42:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1207 | cleanup. Also, the -T option should now work regardless |
| 1208 | of the curses library used. Yay. |
| 1209 | |
Chris Allegretta | a1a55c7 | 2000-07-28 00:36:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1210 | 07/27/2000 - Nano 0.9.14 is officially the "13 is so unlucky it should |
| 1211 | be skipped as a version number" release. One typo |
| 1212 | caused unending problems (calling nano with either -t or |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1213 | -k caused both flags to be used). The -k code is also |
| 1214 | now closer in functionality to Pico's -k mode; please |
| 1215 | note that this code is not finished yet. Working on |
| 1216 | this code has made me realize that there is not enough |
Chris Allegretta | a1a55c7 | 2000-07-28 00:36:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1217 | abstraction in the code, and I will be working on that |
| 1218 | for the next release. Until then, have fun with this |
| 1219 | version. |

Chris Allegretta | edebbe6 | 2000-07-23 16:45:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1221 | 07/23/2000 - Nano 0.9.13 has a few new bits and bobs, most notably the |
Chris Allegretta | 231d3d6 | 2000-07-22 19:33:19 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1222 | -k option from Pico (cut to end of line). The majority |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1223 | of changes in this release are bugfixes, however, |
| 1224 | including the usual display fixes and fixes for writing |
| 1225 | to symbolic links and un-writable files. Barring any |
| 1226 | other major changes, this should be the feature set for |
| 1227 | nano 1.0, whenever it might be released =-) |

Chris Allegretta | e955dae | 2000-07-07 22:24:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1229 | 07/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.12 (The "lucky day" release) is bursting with new |
| 1230 | features, bug fixes, and yummy fruit flavor. For |
| 1231 | changes, the alternate replace keystroke ^W^T is now |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1232 | ^W^R to be compatible with later versions of Pico. ^W^T |
| 1233 | is now goto line, again for Pico compatibility. As for |
| 1234 | new features, the wonderful/hated magic line code has |
| 1235 | returned with a vengeance! Also, regular expression |
| 1236 | searches and replaces have been incorporated via the -R |
| 1237 | flag. And, of course, there are the usual helping of |
| 1238 | display and other bug fixes to top it all off. |

Chris Allegretta | 4da1fc6 | 2000-06-21 03:00:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1240 | 06/20/2000 - Nano 0.9.11 presents drastic rewrites of the most buggy |
Chris Allegretta | 3798588 | 2000-06-20 00:39:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1241 | routines in the program, specifically the wrapping code |
| 1242 | and almost all of the display routines. There are many |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1243 | improvements and bugfixes to the display subsystem in |
Chris Allegretta | 3798588 | 2000-06-20 00:39:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1244 | general, but there may be bugs lurking yet. Also, after |
| 1245 | many MANY requests, there is now an option to set the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1246 | displayed tab width (-T, --tabsize). Note that this |
| 1247 | function just changes the way tabs LOOK in the editor, |
| 1248 | the tabs you input are still real tabs of normal width |
| 1249 | (usually 8 characters); nano just makes them look |
Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1250 | smaller or bigger while in the editor. New in the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1251 | translation department is an Indonesian translation |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1254 | 06/06/2000 - Nano 0.9.10 is primarily a bugfix for the loss of SIGINT |
| 1255 | when using "run and terminate" flags (for example, |
| 1256 | --help). There are also some minor documentation |
| 1257 | updates. This version of nano is the most stable in |
| 1258 | quite some time, and is likely to be the most stable for |
| 1259 | awhile. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this |
| 1260 | version. |

Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1262 | 05/31/2000 - Nano 0.9.9 introduces much better working i18n support, |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1263 | more portability, and a ton of bugfixes. While nano is |
| 1264 | not likely anywhere near 1.0 in terms of code quality, |
| 1265 | it gets a quantum leap closer with this release. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1266 | |
| 1267 | 05/18/2000 - Nano 0.9.8 (the 'what broke now?' release) should fix |
| 1268 | the resize crash people have been experiencing. It also |
| 1269 | offers a new input method that should allow nano to do |
| 1270 | things the right way (like ^S, ^Q, custom suspend keys) |
Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1271 | and hopefully won't break with non-US keyboards. There |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1272 | are also the obligatory display fixes and speedups. |
| 1273 | Have fun with it. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1274 | |
| 1275 | 05/14/2000 - Nano 0.9.7 (the Mother's Day release) continues in the long |
| 1276 | line of display fixes, and also fixes the broken symlink |
David Lawrence Ramsey | b159f94 | 2006-07-28 17:06:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1277 | behavior (i.e. symlinks weren't being followed by |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1278 | default). Hopefully all major bugs can be worked out |
| 1279 | soon and we can have a 1.0 release before the end of the |
| 1280 | year, but who knows. |
| 1281 | |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1282 | 05/08/2000 - Nano 0.9.6 cleans up a lot of the display bugs that 0.9.5 |
| 1283 | uncovered. There are improvements (and some remaining |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1284 | segfaults) in the wrapping code, and even more display |
| 1285 | optimizations. I would still say 0.9.4 or 0.9.2 are the |
| 1286 | most stable versions of nano to date, but this one may |
| 1287 | not be too bad =-) |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1288 | |
| 1289 | 05/01/2000 - Nano 0.9.5 attempts to speed up the display of text |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1290 | to be at least somewhat reasonable. Much code profiling |
| 1291 | has been done to reduce the ridiculous number of |
| 1292 | redundant display updates. This will probably expose a |
| 1293 | lot of bugs that can then be fixed, so this release is |
| 1294 | probably not for the faint of heart. For anyone |
| 1295 | curious, I would call nano 0.9.2 the most stable version |
| 1296 | recently, so use that if you're not particularly |
| 1297 | concerned with being on the bleeding edge. |

| 1299 | 04/25/2000 - Nano 0.9.4 fixes some problems in 0.9.3 with the last |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1300 | line code and related segfaults. It also now has much |
| 1301 | better handling for 8-bit characters. The --enable-tiny |
| 1302 | code also produces a smaller executable. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1303 | |
| 1304 | 04/19/2000 - Nano 0.9.3 is officially the "Micro$oft" release. It |
| 1305 | underscores the recent problem of bugfixes introducing |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1306 | more bugs than they fix. The most important change to |
| 1307 | this version of nano is the removal of the "magic line". |
| 1308 | You will no longer see a blank line at the end of the |
| 1309 | file. If you want a new line at the end of your file, |
| 1310 | you'll have to hit enter to get one. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1312 | NOTE: THIS BREAKS COMPATIBILITY WITH PICO. |
| 1313 | Unfortunately, this feature has been causing many many |
| 1314 | problems with nano so it is being removed for the time |
| 1315 | being, and perhaps indefinitely. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1316 | |
Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1317 | Other new stuff includes an --enable-tiny option to make |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1318 | nano ultra small (disabling i18n, detailed help and the |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1319 | marker and mouse code), and --with-slang to use the |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1320 | slang libraries instead of ncurses. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1322 | 04/15/2000 - Nano 0.9.2 just fixes the serious segfault problem if |
| 1323 | nano is invoked any way other than using the absolute |
| 1324 | path. The bug was in the new code for checking whether |
Chris Allegretta | 6df90f5 | 2002-07-19 01:08:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1325 | nano is invoked as 'pico'. |

| 1327 | 04/14/2000 - 0.9.1 has some more Pico compatibility built-in. The |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1328 | option to switch to/from Search and Search/Replace (^T) |
| 1329 | is now available, and nano now displays the more |
David Lawrence Ramsey | b159f94 | 2006-07-28 17:06:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1330 | Pico-like shortcut list when invoked as 'pico' (i.e. if |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1331 | 'pico' is a symlink to nano). There is an important |
| 1332 | change to the handling of symbolic links as well. Now, |
| 1333 | nano does the "correct" thing and automatically writes |
| 1334 | to the object of the symlink, rather than replace the |
| 1335 | symlink with the updated file. This behavior is still |
| 1336 | available with the --nofollow or -l flags. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1337 | Other new things include a fix for the infamous |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1338 | "recursive replace" bug, and more bugfixes in the |
| 1339 | wrapping code. |

| 1341 | 04/07/2000 - Nano 0.9.0 has some updates, new language support and |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1342 | a much better refresh setup (It's still not great, |
| 1343 | but...) There should also be more stability editing |
| 1344 | long lines, as there was a stupid mistake in the |
| 1345 | update_line call. Silly me =) |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1346 | |
| 1347 | 03/22/2000 - Nano 0.8.9 is basically just a bugfix release of 0.8.8 |
| 1348 | to reflect the current stagnant status of the project. |
| 1349 | Most things work, the rest doesn't doesn't work because |
| 1350 | (a) I can't fix it or I would have already done so, and |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1351 | (b) the amount of patches I'm receiving right now is |
| 1352 | quite negligible. Fortunately, this release marks the |
| 1353 | first release since I have acquired ownership of the |
| 1354 | nano pages on SourceForge. Here's hoping SF will get us |
| 1355 | some more visibility, translators and patches. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1356 | |
| 1357 | 03/12/2000 - After a hiatus, I have finally moved (not unpacked though) |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1358 | to my new home into Albany. Thus I should now have more |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1359 | time to work on nano. Nano 0.8.8, the "dear god what |
| 1360 | broke this time?" release, incorporates patches for both |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1361 | i18n and many bugfixes. It is VERY likely something |
| 1362 | broke this version, and it's likely I didn't even apply |
| 1363 | the i18n stuff properly, so *it* may not even work. |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1364 | |
| 1365 | I would like to announce that I'm going to need |
| 1366 | translations soonish, so if you are fluent in other |
Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1367 | languages than English (or even better, if your native |
| 1368 | language is not English) and you would like to submit a |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1369 | translation file to me, please feel free to do so. If |
| 1370 | you do, I will list your name and email in the AUTHORS |
| 1371 | file as the maintainer of the .po file, and from then on |
| 1372 | it is yours to take care of and keep up to date. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1375 | release's comments, nano 0.8.7 is released. The |
| 1376 | crashing behavior was still occurring, and this most |
| 1377 | recent fix also fixes some other wrapping problems, so |
| 1378 | here you go. There may be another release soon, there |
| 1379 | may not be, is that vague enough? =) |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1381 | 02/25/2000 - More minor bugfixes in 0.8.6, the bizarre behavior at the |
| 1382 | end of a page has ceased, thankfully. I'm also moving |
| 1383 | next weekend, so don't be shocked if you don't see a new |

| 1387 | some under-the-hood changes, you won't notice much |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1388 | different in this version of nano. I haven't gotten |
| 1389 | much feedback on the help feature, is it simply amazing |
| 1390 | or does no one care? Write and let me know! =) |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1392 | 02/08/2000 - Nano 0.8.3 marks the first time in a long time that there |
| 1393 | has been more than three days since the last release. |
| 1394 | New features include an initial help mode (YAY!), |
| 1395 | hopefully much more support for i18n out of the box, and |
| 1396 | a flag for more Pico compatibility in the shortcut lists |
| 1397 | displayed. This release also marks the new nano |

| 1400 | |
| 1401 | 02/02/2000 - Okay, I hate to go back on what I said in the last release, |
| 1402 | but I may be changing jobs very soon. I will release |
| 1403 | version 0.8.2 as is (no i18n, no help menu (yet). I |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1404 | expect things to settle down by the end of next week, |
| 1405 | and then I can try to start on the i18n support and help |
| 1406 | menu; look for these new features in version 0.8.5 to |
| 1407 | 0.9.0. |

Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1410 | internationalization (i18n) and the help system (^G). I |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1411 | will be merging in Jordi's patches for initial i18n in |
| 1412 | the next version, and will implement the help system |
| 1413 | with i18n built into it shortly after that. Please |
| 1414 | don't hesitate to send bug reports, as long as you're |
| 1415 | sure the fault lies with nano =-). |

| 1417 | 01/25/2000 - Nano 0.8.0 is officially the 'let's try and be at least a |
| 1418 | little portable, mmmmkay?' release. There are many |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1419 | portability checks and fixes; many thanks to Andy Kahn |
| 1420 | for his patches. I removed the broken do_spell behavior |
| 1421 | with the 'spell' program; for now, we only try to call |
| 1422 | 'ispell' until I write a better method to handle the |
| 1423 | output of the normal 'spell' command. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1425 | 01/24/2000 - Nano 0.7.9 features many new features. Among them are a |
| 1426 | new autoindent feature (-i, --autoindent), tempfile flag |
| 1427 | like Pico's -t flag (-t, --tempfile), and preliminary |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1428 | spelling program support. The spelling function tries |
| 1429 | to run 'spell' and then 'ispell' in that order, but you |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1430 | can specify another spelling program with -s or |
| 1431 | --speller. |

| 1433 | 01/17/00 - Nano 0.7.7 is officially the 'way too much stuff changed this |
| 1434 | release' release. It's the busy time at work for me, so |
| 1435 | please don't get offended if your patch doesn't get |
David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1436 | included in the next immediate version of nano. I'm |
| 1437 | sure all the changes in this release will cause a few |
| 1438 | bugs, so 0.7.8 will primarily be about fixing those |
| 1439 | bugs. |

Chris Allegretta | 88520c9 | 2001-05-05 17:45:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1441 | Things added this release include resizability (kinda), |
Chris Allegretta | a2ea193 | 2000-06-06 05:53:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1442 | new -x and -c flags (see nano -h for help), long command |
| 1443 | line flag support, and the usual array of bugfixes. |

David Lawrence Ramsey | 9e45a47 | 2004-01-06 17:12:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1445 | 01/15/00 - Nano 0.7.6 is officially the 'lightning' release. It now |
| 1446 | loads large files much faster than previous versions, |
| 1447 | and is even much faster than Pico or vi in some rather |
| 1448 | rudimentary tests. Many thanks to Adam Rogoyski for the |
