Improvements in GNU nano
========================
+Since 2.9.0:
+ - The ability to record and replay a series of keystrokes (a macro).
+ - Assigned functions to ^S (save file) and ^Q (start backward search).
+ - Indenting and unindenting have been integrated into the undo system.
+ - Support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the nanorc file, and $XDG_DATA_HOME
+ for the history files (of search strings and cursor positions).
+
Since 2.8.0:
- Meta-Up/Meta-Down will search the previous/next occurrence.
- ^U pastes the first line of the cutbuffer at a prompt.

+2017.11.18 - GNU nano 2.9.0 "Eta" introduces the ability to record and
+ replay keystrokes (M-: to start and stop recording, M-;
+ to play the macro back), makes ^Q and ^S do something
+ useful by default (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S
+ saves the current file), changes ^W to start always a
+ forward search, shows the number of open buffers (when
+ more than one) in the title bar, no longer asks to press
+ Enter when there are errors in an rc file, retires the
+ options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards',
+ makes indenting and unindenting undoable, will look in
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for a nanorc file and in $XDG_DATA_HOME
+ for the history files, adds a history stack for executed
+ commands (^R^X), does not overwrite the position-history
+ file of another nano, and fixes a score of tiny bugs.

2017.08.27 - GNU nano 2.8.7 "Fragrance" fixes a lockup when tabs are
wider than the screen, makes indenting + unindenting
more predictable by retaining relative indentations,

<h2><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h2>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
