-GNU nano 2.3.0 - 2011.02.26
+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

+		(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

Then when you want to enable inserting a file into its own buffer instead of into the current file, just hit <b>Meta-F</b>, then insert the file as normal with <b>^R</b>.

If you didn't get one, the syntax is simple.

 <h2><a name="3.9.1"></a>3.9. How about in Win32?</h2>
 <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 documentatino 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 unerstand it.  In other words, you should use probably only use nano to edit its config file.  Other programs like Wordpad and Notepad will either convert the file to DOS format when saving, and the latter does not even properly read Unix-formatted files to begin with.</p></blockquote>

 <blockquote><p>It was decided that consistency was nice, but people are used to Pico's inconsistent behavior. Also, in version 1.1.99pre1, search and replace history was introduced. 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>

+#
+# 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.
