========================
Since 2.9.0:
+ - A key can be bound to a string -- any mix of text and commands.
+ - Error messages are shown by default in bright white on red.
- <Tab> and <Shift+Tab> can be used to indent/unindent a marked region.
- Can snip trailing whitespace while typing, with 'set trimblanks'.
- The ability to record and replay a series of keystrokes (a macro).

+2018.03.08 - GNU nano 2.9.4 "Isabel" allows binding a key to a string
+ (any piece of text and/or commands), permits customizing
+ the color of error messages with 'set errorcolor', colors
+ those error messages by default in bright white on red,
+ makes <Enter> at the bottom of the screen scroll just one
+ row when --smooth is used, does not fail when redoing a
+ file insertion, and cancels a Shift-selection when any
+ cursor key is pressed without Shift even when the cursor
+ cannot move. Further, it treats tabs fully the same as
+ spaces when doing automatic hard-wrapping, allows syntax
+ names to be unquoted, and removes two deprecated options
+ and six deprecated bindable function names.

2018.01.29 - GNU nano 2.9.3 "Córdoba" fixes a segfault with trimblanks
that could occur when a typed space caused the word after
it to be pushed to the next line. It further makes macros

<h2><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h2>
<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>
<h2><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h2>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>2.9.3</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>
