========================
Since 2.9.0:
+ - Option 'set afterends' for making Ctrl+Right stop at word ends.
+ - A crash handler that saves changed buffers in case of a crash.
- Addition of the color name "normal", meaning the default color.
- A key can be bound to a string -- any mix of text and commands.
- Error messages are shown by default in bright white on red.

+2018.05.15 - GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends'

+ the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed
+ buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the

<h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
<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>
<h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>2.9.6</b>. Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
