Improvements in GNU nano
========================
+Since 7.0:
+ - String binds may contain bindable function names between braces.
+ - Word completion looks for candidates in all open buffers.
+ - Unicode codes can be entered without leading zeroes.
+
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

+2022.11.15 - GNU nano 7.0 "Una existencia simple bajo el sol"
+• String binds may contain bindable function names between braces.
+ For example, to move the current line down to after the next one:
+ bind ^D "{cut}{down}{paste}{up}" main. Of course, braced function
+ names may be mixed with literal text. If an existing string bind
+ contains a literal {, replace it with {{}.
+• Unicode codes can be entered (via M-V) without leading zeroes,
+ by finishing short codes with <Space> or <Enter>.
+• Word completion (^]) looks for candidates in all open buffers.
+• No regular expression matches the final empty line any more.

<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>6.4</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>
