-** Fixed BUGS **
-- Marked cutting sometimes leaves a newline in the file unintelligently,
-  such as when all of a line is selected but the mark doesn't proceed to
-  the new line. (8) [FIXED/IRRELEVANT]
-- Certains are not lined up properly when there are tabs in them at 
-  certain col values. (9) [FIXED]
-- edit_refresh() and update_line() do not handle selecting text when the
-  cursor is beyond COLS (10) [FIXED]
-- No way to do a replace with the empty string (11) [FIXED, yay!]
-- Spelling support is not elegant like Pico's integration of the 'spell'
-  program.  nano only uses ispell (for now) (12) [FIXED]
-- Moving to the end of a line when close to a multiple of COLS and at
-  least COLS * 2 does not make the screen jump early like it would for
-  if we were around COLS (bugs in edit_refresh, update_line) (13)
-  [FIXED, mostly]
-- When at the very bottom of the edit window, do_wrap() goes berserk and
-  puts the cursor somewhere bad; subsequent keystrokes crash the program
-  (14) [FIXED, mostly]
-- Doing a replacement of a substring of the replace string (e.g.
-  replacing "ed" with "fred" causes an infinite loop). (15) [FIXED]
-- Cutting a file with marked text and both marker ends on the same line
-  causes a random segfault (16) [FIXED]
-- Cutting more than one line resets the KEEP_CUTBUFFER flag in 0.9.3.
-  Error is in bitwise assignment (nano.h). (17) [FIXED]
-- The wrapping code does not work right for lines like the following:
- *                                                                     *
-  Error is in do_wrap, must be rewritten. (18) [FIXED]
-- nano fails to follow symlinks, even though -l isn't being used (20).
-  [Bug in global flag init, FIXED]
-- When using --help or --version, the SIGINT character gets lost. (21)
-  [FIXED]
-- edit_refresh() and update_line() (and related functions) have 
-  trouble when a tab is the character that is the boundary at COLS (23)
-  [FIXED]
-- There is an off-by-one error in keeping track of totsize.  It is
-  caused by the fact that we count the newline at the end when we read
-  in a file but we do not, in fact, display this newline.  This should
-  go away implicitly when the "Magic Line" returns, but it is noted here
-  for documentation's sake. (24) [FIXED]
-- In replace with completely adjacent strings, every other search string
-  will be missed (try replace ':' in a string like ':::::::::') (28)
-  [FIXED]
-- If nano opens a read-only file with the --tempfile option, and a
-  change is made to the buffer, and a write is attempted, nano will not
-  give you a dialog about not being able to write the file, and it will
-  not let the user exit (29, discovered by Joshua Jensen) [FIXED]
-- Using nano -k, marked text is not cut properly. (31) [FIXED]
-- Invoking -t or -k has the effect of invoking both options. (32)
-  [FIXED]
-- totsize becomes incorrect after word-wrapping (25) [FIXED]
-- Wrapping a line with autoindent mode sometimes causes a segfault (19)
-  [FIXED]
-- When inserting files, the display sometimes fails to display properly
-  until a pageup/down occurs (22) [FIXED]
-- In search/replace code, there is too much refreshing in bottomwin (26)

-- In replace, there is no way to accept the default replace string. (27)

-- Using nano -t, user can not exit until a filename is given via ^O.

-- totsize problems still abound in do_justify (33) [FIXED]
-- Using -k, cut text is not pasted properly. (34) [FIXED].
-- Using -k, pasted text is not updated properly if it goes beyond
-  editbot. (35) [FIXED]
-- Doing a cut with -k can screw up the filestruct; fault is in cutting
-  code. (36) [FIXED]
-- Hitting enter on the magic line makes new lines, but they are not
-  written out to disk when saved..... (37). [FIXED]
-- Page up and page down do not work the same way as in Pico (# of
-  lines). (38) [FIXED]
-- When doing a search and the marker is set, the screen does not always
-  properly update the inverted text (39). [FIXED]
-- Searches for a string that only exists on one line multiple times will
-  fail after finding the last occurrence (discovered by Ken Tyler) (40).

-- Meta-Z is currently broken to toggle suspend.  I guess I still don't
-  know signals very well =-) (41) [FIXED].

-  Tyler) (42). [FIXED]
-- The keypad does not work when nano runs in the Gnome terminal (43).
-  [FIXED]
-- When reading in a file, if the file is a directory, the contents of
-  the file being edited are blown away (discovered by  Chris Pimlot)
-  (44). [FIXED]
-- In certain terms, nano will leave a "ghost" of screen upon exit when
-  called from inside mutt (among other settings) (45). [FIXED]
-- In replace, hitting the Goto line shortcut key does nothing after a
-  search string is entered (discovered by Rocco Corsi) (46) [FIXED].
-- When typing in a string in search or replace and hitting
-  CASE_SENSITIVE or the other search string, the current string edit is
-  blown away in favor of the last stored search (47) [FIXED]
-- If nano fails to open a file when it starts up, doing almost anything
-  causes a segfault (discovered by Ben Roberts) (48). [FIXED]
-- In certain terminals, nano would not work properly with keypad().
-  Turned out to be the silly timeout(0) call, which is completely
-  unneeded, anyway. (49) [FIXED]
-- With less than a page of text, doing a page down will move the current
-  line to the top of the screen, which it shouldn't do. (50) [FIXED]
-- With PDCurses, running Meta-X turns off the keypad. (51) [FIXED]
-- Resizing the window completely screws up the display if in any other
-  mode than normal editing (help screen, search and replace, file
-  browser...) (52) [FIXED]
-- Alt speller argument (-s, --speller) does not take a string argument
-  of more than one word. (53) [FIXED].
-- Cut to end cutting (-k) causes segfaults (try cutting "- Backup making

-  in the cutbuffer (discovered by Barry Pederson) (60) [FIXED]
-- Blank lines are not kept when cutting with -k (discovered by Rocco)
-  (61) [FIXED].
-- nano will not suspend properly inside of mutt (62) [FIXED].
-- When switching from Pico mode to normal mode, the previous search is
-  not displayed until cancelling the search (63) [FIXED].
-- If you change search options but don't change the search string in
-  normal mode, hitting Enter causes the search/replace to abort (64)

-- Need a 'check-vitals-mapped' function to check that the end used didn't

-- New backend code probably does not compile under anything but default options, 
-  if that (76) [FIXED]
-- -enable-tiny does not work with new code (78) [FIXED]

-  nano will do the wrong thing when reading the key which is normally

+2014.07.11 - GNU nano 2.3.5 "lucky day" is released.  This release
+		contains many visible and under-the-hood fixes for
+		components such as file locking, more fixes to the
+		undo system, and you no longer have to explicitly ask
+		nano to have undo/redo support as it now defaults to
+		being enabled.  Other notable fixes include a better
+		handling of --tempfile mode, and better handling of
+		command line arguments when also attempting to specify
+		+<line number>.  As always, please file any bugs you
+		find at the Savannah page for nano, at
+		https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?42639 and
+		thanks for using nano.
+
+2014.06.02 - GNU nano 2.3.4 won't leave you high, won't leave you dry. This
+		release contains only a small number of fixes, but in
+		particular allows nano to compile on non-UTF8 curses
+		implementations (i.e. libncursesw).  Other small fixes to
+		the undo implementation and the default syntax config are
+		also included. As always, Share and Enjoy!
+
+2014.05.28 - GNU nano 2.3.3 is in its right place.  This release contains
+		many many improvements to the core system, including
+		substantial improvements to the undo/redo code, UTF-8
+		handling, the configure script, and display of shortcuts
+		on very wide terminals,  New features include the
+		ability to read named pipes (--noread), as well as
+		linter support (see the nanorc man page for details).  Also
+		included are much improved syntax highlighting code, and
+		configurations for JSON, texinfo, Go, and a default syntax
+		for catch all highlighting. Finally, nano now has the
+		ability to set the color of the title bar, status bar, and
+		shortcut keys (e.g. "^X") and their descriptions.  Again
+		see the nanorc page for details.  There's much more, too
+		much to include here, but please keep those reports and
+		general feedback coming!  Thank you for helping us help
+		you help us all.
+
+2013.03.22 - GNU nano 2.3.2 "Annoy your coworkers for fun and profit" is
+		released.  This release introduces vim-style file locking
+		(though not backup/restore), useful when using nano
+		in a multi-editor environment.  Feedback is welcome if
+		you run into any issues with this new code.  Other new
+		features include additional support for word boundary
+		checking when cross compiling, fixes for trying to go to
+		an invalid line number, and the usual documentation
+		tweaks.
+
+2011.05.10 - GNU nano 2.3.1 "I'm in space" is released.  This
+		release includes some fixes for the new libmagic code, as
+		well as a fix for improper character counts when using
+		auto-indent.  Also included are new syntax highlighting
+		definitions for RPM spec and lua files.  Thanks for
+		using nano and keep circulating the tapes.
+
+2011.02.26 - GNU nano 2.3.0 "Septic surprise" is released.  This first
+		release in the 2.3 unstable series brings several new
+		features.  First, libmagic support for syntax highlighting
+		has been added on top of the existing file extension
+		and header support already available.  Secondly, cursor
+		position can be saved between editing sessions with
+		the -P or --poslog command-line flag, or via "set poslog"
+		in your .nanorc.  Also included are some fixes for
+		compilation with g++, and better handling of issues
+		writing the backup file, which should reduce the need
+		for the 'set allow_insecure_backup" nanorc option.
+		Don't stop, get it get it, don't stop, get it get it.
+
+2010.11.22 - GNU nano 2.2.6 "Pimp my BBS" wants you to go to
+		www.desertbus.org and donate a few bucks for the great
+		Child's Play Charity!  This is just a small release to
+		update a bug where restricted mode was not particularly
+		restricted since key bindings were introduced.  It also
+		signals the return of win32 builds which now feature
+		nanorc support; please see the FAQ for details of how
+		to enable it, this feature is a bit of a kludge for now.
+		Remember that when all else fails, USE SPACE JUMP.
+
+2010.08.05 - GNU nano 2.2.5 "Inactivity timeout" is now available.
+		This release includes slightly less restrictive checking
+		when writing files in strange environments (e.g. when
+		being used out of crontab).  For very strange situations
+		(such as where you cannot change the permissions on the
+		file you're writing), there is a new rc file option
+		"allow_insecure_backup" to be even more permissive and
+		allow the write to proceed.  Also included are some
+		syntax highlighting updates, and that is about it.
+		Keep fighting the good fight children.
+
+2010.04.15 - GNU nano 2.2.4 is nobody's fool.  First and foremost,
+		this release includes some security fixes due to
+		an assessment of nano's vulnerability to symlink attacks
+		on open files.  The CVEs fixed with this release are
+		CVE-2010-1160 and CVE-2010-1161.  Also included are fixes
+		for various crash modes when using the spell checker
+		on new files in multibuffer mode (surely you've used
+		that combination recently? no?) as well as a fixing
+		the 'file was modified' message when saving to a
+		new filename (since how would nano know?).  And
+		the list would not be complete without our
+		third-times-the-charm fixes to page up/down due to
+		the soft wrapping code.  The lone new feature
+		included is a new syntax highlighting definition for
+		cmake-related files.  Please do consider upgrading to
+		this release if still using the 2.0 series since
+		fixes for that version are still forthcoming.

+<blockquote><p>If you're using the official nano .zip file and have extracted all the files, you should take the file nano.rc and place it somewhere on your Win32 system (for example if you have write permission to do so, at the top of C:\).  Then you must create an Environment variable called HOME which points to the directory where you put nano.rc.  In Windows XP, you can get to Environment variables by right-clicking "My Computer" either on the desktop or in the Start Menu, and selecting Properties.  This should bring up the System Properties panel.  Then click the Advanced Tab, and there should be a button called Environment Variables.  Click that to bring up the Environment Variables section. Now, under User Variables you should be able to click the New button, and make a new Variables Name called HOME, with the Variable Value of whatever path you copied nano.rc into (just the directory name; don't add nano.rc onto the end).</p>
+<p>We're still working on documentation for enabling synax highlighting on Win32; please bear with us.</p>
+<p>Note that the nano.rc file must remain Unix-formated in order for nano to understand it.  In other words, you should probably use only nano to edit its config file.  Other programs like Wordpad and Notepad will convert the file to DOS format when saving, and the latter does not even properly read Unix-formatted files to begin with.</p></blockquote>

If you wish to edit your previous search/replace entry (or any previous entry), you can do so by hitting the up arrow to cycle through your history. This method allows the best of both worlds: You don't need to erase the previous string if you want to enter a new one, but you can with one keystroke recall previous entries for editing. Therefore there is now no "Pico mode", nano is and has always been a Pico <b>clone</b>, and clones by default should be compatible.</p></blockquote>

 .SH NAME
 nanorc \- GNU nano's rcfile
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page briefly documents GNU \fBnano\fP's rcfile.
-.PP
-\fBnano\fP is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace
-Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package.  Rather
-than just copying Pico's look and feel, \fBnano\fP also implements some
-missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and
-replace" and "go to line and column number".
-.PP
-The \fInanorc\fP file contains the default settings for \fBnano\fP.  It
-should not be in DOS or Mac format.  During startup, \fBnano\fP will
-first read its system-wide settings from \fISYSCONFDIR/nanorc\fP, and
-then user-specific settings from \fI~/.nanorc\fP.
+The \fInanorc\fP file contains the default settings for \fBnano\fP, a
+small and friendly editor.  The file should be in Unix format, not in
+DOS or Mac format.  During startup, \fBnano\fP will first read the
+system-wide settings, from \fB/etc/nanorc\fP (the exact path might be
+different), and then the user-specific settings, from \fB~/.nanorc\fP.
 
 .SH OPTIONS
 The configuration file accepts a series of \fBset\fP and \fBunset\fP
 commands, which can be used to configure nano on startup without using
-the command line options.  Additionally, the \fBsyntax\fP, \fBcolor\fP,
-and \fBicolor\fP keywords are used to define syntax highlighting rules
-for different text patterns.  \fBnano\fP will read one command per line.
+command-line options.  Additionally, there are some commands to define
+syntax highlighting and to rebind keys -- see the two separate sections
+on those.  \fBnano\fP reads one command per line.
 
 Options in \fInanorc\fP files take precedence over nano's defaults, and
-command line options override \fInanorc\fP settings.  Also, options are
+command-line options override \fInanorc\fP settings.  Also, options are
 unset by default, except for those that take arguments.
 
 Quotes inside string parameters don't have to be escaped with
 backslashes.  The last double quote in the string will be treated as its
-end.  For example, for the \fBbrackets\fP option, "\fI"')>]}\fP" will
-match \fI"\fP, \fI'\fP, \fI)\fP, \fI>\fP, \fI]\fP, and \fI}\fP.

+# ===========================================================================
+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
+#   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
+#
+#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
+#   success/failure.
+#
+#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
+#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
+#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
+#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
+#
+#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
+#   macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,LINK}_FLAG.
