2018.05.15 - GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends'
for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word
ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for
the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed
buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the
until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and
renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and
'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the
corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon.GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal. https://nano-editor.org/ The tarball and its signature are here: https://nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nano-2.9.7.tar.xz https://nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nano-2.9.7.tar.xz.asc Specific bugs fixed in this release were all minor: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53777 (wrong message when spell is missing) https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53779 (better hint when reading from stdin) https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53891 (spurious message in flat terminal) Changes between v2.9.6 and v2.9.7: ---------------------------------- Mark-Weston (1): new feature: an option to make the 'nextword' function stop at word ends Devin Hussey (1): signals: upon a crash, save changed buffers and reset terminal state Benno Schulenberg (22): bindings: add the 'linenumbers' bindable function bindings: rename constupdate to constantshow, cuttoend to cutfromcursor bump version numbers and add a news item for the 2.9.7 release docs: add notes about deprecated options and function names docs: break down some old improvements further per version docs: note a small difference with Pico in the default hard-wrapping docs: say thanks to three recent translators, and re-sort two others docs: slightly improve the description of the file browser in the manual main: clear a spurious error number, to avoid irrelevant messages later po: update translations and regenerate POT file and PO files prompt: when asking for Yes/No/All, recognize also UTF-8 letters scrolling: only do a scroll when the edit window has more than one row signals: don't trap segfault/abort when envvar NANO_NOCATCH is defined signals: exclude the crash handler from the tiny version startup: suggest using ^D to finish reading from standard input tweaks: improve a couple of comments tweaks: normalize indentation and whitespace after previous changes tweaks: put check for -h and -l options in their alphabetical positions tweaks: put Yes/No/All in a consistent order (for the translators) tweaks: rename two variables, to be more descriptive tweaks: sort an option better, and reschedule a removal tweaks: use symbolic names instead of puzzling TRUE and FALSE -- Benno
