+2021.10.06 - GNU nano 5.9 "El manicomio ha decidido: mañana sol!"
+• The extension of a filename is added to the name of a corresponding
+ temporary file, so that spell checking a C file, for example, will
+ check only the comments and strings (when using 'aspell').
+• The process number is added to the name of an emergency save file,
+ so that when multiple nanos die they will not fight over a filename.
+• Undoing a cutting operation will restore an anchor that was located
+ in the cut area to its original line.
+• When using --locking, saving a new buffer will create a lock file.
+• Syntax highlighting for YAML files has been added.
+
2021.06.15 - GNU nano 5.8 "Why is it necessary to be special?"
• After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8
seconds with --quick) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.

<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>5.8</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>
