Improvements in GNU nano
========================
+Since 6.0:
+ - Option --zero hides the interface and uses the whole terminal for editing.
+ - Colors can be given also in #rgb hexadecimal, to select the nearest color
+ from the 6x6x6 color-cube palette available on 256-color terminals.
+ - Fourteen new color names are available, from rosy to crimson.
+
Since 5.0:
- A search briefly spotlights the found text, in black on yellow by default.
- Option --minibar reduces the interface to a bottom bar with basic info.

+2021.12.15 - GNU nano 6.0 "Humor heeft ook zijn leuke kanten"
+• Option --zero hides the title bar, status bar and help lines, and
+ uses all rows of the terminal as editing area. The title bar and
+ status bar can be toggled with M-Z.
+• Colors can now be specified also as three-digit hexadecimal numbers,
+ in the format #rgb. This picks from the 216 index colors (that most
+ terminals know) the color that is nearest to the given values.
+• For users who dislike numbers, there are fourteen new color names:
+ rosy, beet, plum, sea, sky, slate, teal, sage, brown, ocher, sand,
+ tawny, brick, and crimson.
+• Suspension is enabled by default, invokable with ^T^Z. The options
+ -z, --suspendable, and 'set suspendable' are obsolete and ignored.
+ (In case you want to be able to suspend nano with a single keystroke,
+ you can put 'bind ^Z suspend main' in your nanorc.)
+• When automatic hard-wrapping is in effect, pasting just a few words
+ (without a line break) will now hard-wrap the line when needed.
+• Toggling Append or Prepend clears the current filename.
+• The word count as shown by M-D is now affected by option --wordbounds;
+ with it, nano counts words as 'wc' does; without it (the new default),
+ words are counted in a more human way: seeing punctuation as space.
+• The YAML syntax file is now actually included in the tarball.

<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>
