+2020.03.24 - GNU nano 4.9 "die fetten Jahre sind vorbei"
+• When justifying a selection, the new paragraph and the
+ succeeding one get the appropriate first-line indent.
+• Trying to justify an empty selection does not crash.
+• Redoing the insertion of an empty file does not crash.
+• On the BSDs and macOS, ^H has become rebindable again
+ (in most terminal emulators, not on the console).
+• DOS line endings in nanorc files are accepted.
+• Option --suspend / 'set suspend' has been renamed to
+ the more logical --suspendable / 'set suspendable'.
+
2020.02.07 - GNU nano 4.8 "Jaška"
• When something is pasted into nano, auto-indentation is suppressed,
and the paste can be undone as a whole with a single M-U.

<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>
