========================
Since 5.0:
+ - M-Bsp deletes a word leftward.
- With --indicator a "scrollbar" is shown, indicating position+portion.
- M-Ins places an anchor, M-PgUp/M-PgDn jump to the nearest anchor.
- Toggling help lines (M-X) and Refresh (^L) work nearly everywhere.

+2020.08.12 - GNU nano 5.1
+• M-Bsp (Alt+Backspace) deletes a word backwards, like in Bash.
+• M-[ has become bindable. (Be careful, though: as it is the
+ starting combination of many escape sequences, avoid gluing
+ it together with other keystrokes, like in a macro.)
+• With --indicator and --softwrap, the first keystroke in an
+ empty buffer does not crash.
+• Invoking the formatter while text is marked does not crash.
+• In UTF-8 locales, an anchor is shown as a diamond.

2020.07.29 - GNU nano 5.0 "Among the fields of barley"
• With --indicator (or -q or 'set indicator') nano will show a kind
of scrollbar on the righthand side of the screen to indicate where

<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>5.0</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>
