+2018.09.09 - GNU nano 3.0 "Water Flowing Underground" speeds up the
+ reading of a file by seventy percent, roughly doubles the
+ speed of handling ASCII text, changes the way words at line
+ boundaries are deleted, makes <Ctrl+Delete> wipe the next
+ word and <Ctrl+Shift+Delete> the preceding word, binds M-Q
+ to 'findprevious' by default (the Tabs-to-Spaces toggle is
+ placed on M-O, and the More-Space toggle is fully removed),
+ makes an external spell check undoable, shows the correct
+ number of lines on the status bar when opening multiple
+ files, removes the 'formatter' command, removes the
+ 'searchagain' bindable function (M-W is now bound to
+ 'findnext' by default), moves the No-Convert toggle to the
+ Insert menu, removes the Backup and New-Buffer toggles from
+ the main menu (they remain in the Write-Out and Insert
+ menus, respectively), is more precise in what it accepts as
+ a rebindable key name, ignores any presses of <Esc> before
+ a valid command keystroke, recognizes some more escape
+ sequences for modified editing-pad keys, does not hide
+ rcfile error messages on a Linux console, renames the
+ bindable functions 'copytext' to 'copy' and 'uncut' to
+ 'paste', and avoids a possible hang during a Full-Justify.

<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>
