+Since version 4.0, @command{nano} no longer hard-wraps overlong
+lines by default.  It also by default uses linewise scrolling, and by
+default includes the line below the title bar in the editing area.
+In case you want the old, Pico behavior back, you can use the
 following options: @option{--breaklonglines},
 @option{--jumpyscrolling}, and @option{--emptyline}
 (or @option{-bje}).
 
 @blankline
+Since version 8.0, @kbd{^F} starts a forward search, @kbd{^B} starts
+a backward search, @kbd{M-F} searches the next occurrence forward,
+and @kbd{M-B} searches the next occurrence backward.  If you want
+those keystrokes to do what they did before version 8.0, see the
+rebindings in the sample nanorc file.
