IMPROVEMENTS

 ========================
 
 Since 4.0:
+  - Pasting from outside into nano suppresses auto-indentation.
+  - Such an external paste can be undone with a single M-U.
+  - Shift+Meta+letter key combos can be bound with 'bind Sh-M-letter ...'.
+  - A custom nanorc file may be specified with -f / --rcfile.
+  - What the <Tab> key produces can be specified per syntax with 'tabgives'.

+  - Comment characters are copied when automatic hard-wrapping occurs.
   - The ability to both read from and write to a FIFO.
   - Automatic hard-wrapping is no longer the default.
   - Addition of --guidestripe to draw a helpful vertical bar.

+2020.02.07 - GNU nano 4.8 "Jaška"
+• When something is pasted into nano, auto-indentation is suppressed,
+  and the paste can be undone as a whole with a single M-U.
+• When a lock file is encountered during startup, pressing ^C/Cancel
+  quits nano.  (Pressing 'No' just skips the file and continues.)
+• Shift+Meta+letter key combos can be bound with 'bind Sh-M-letter'.
+  Making any such binding dismisses the default behavior of ignoring
+  Shift for all Meta+letter keystrokes.
+• The configuration option --with-slang (to be avoided when possible)
+  can now be used only together with --enable-tiny.
+• A custom nanorc file can be specified on the command line, with
+  -f filename or --rcfile=filename.
+
+2019.12.23 - GNU nano 4.7 "Havikskruid"
+• A <Tab> will indent a marked region only when mark and cursor are
+  on different lines.
+• Two indentations (any mix of tabs and spaces) are considered the
+  same when they look the same (that is: indent to the same level).
+• When using --breaklonglines or ^J, a line will never be broken in
+  its leading whitespace or quoting.
+• The keywords in nanorc files must be in lowercase.
+
+2019.11.29 - GNU nano 4.6 "And don't you eat that yellow snow"
+• The 'formatter' command has returned, bound by default to M-F.
+  It allows running a syntax-specific command on the contents of
+  the buffer.
+• ^T will try to run 'hunspell' before 'spell', because it checks
+  spellling for the locale's language and understands UTF-8.
+• Multiple errors or warnings on startup will no longer slow nano
+  down but will be indicated on the status bar with trailing dots.
+
+2019.10.04 - GNU nano 4.5 "Košice"
+• The new 'tabgives' command allows you to specify per syntax what
+  the <Tab> key should produce: some spaces, a hard TAB, ...
+• The output of --help is properly aligned again for all languages.
+• <Tab> will indent a marked region also when M-} has been rebound.
+
+2019.08.25 - GNU nano 4.4 "Hagelslag"
+• At startup, the cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence
+  of a string by preceding the filename with +/string or +?string.
+• When automatic hard-wrapping occurs (--breaklonglines), any leading
+  quoting characters will be automatically copied to the new line.
+• M-6 works again also when the cursor is at end of buffer.
+
 2019.06.18 - GNU nano 4.3 "Musa Kart"
 • The ability to read from and write to a FIFO has been regained.
 • Startup time is reduced by fully parsing a syntax only when needed.

This also means that, at startup, nano will read <b>/usr/local/etc/nanorc</b> instead of <b>/etc/nanorc</b>. You can make a symlink from the former to the latter if you want your self-compiled nano to read the same nanorc as the system-installed nano.

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 \fBnano\fP is a small and friendly editor.  It copies the look and feel
 of Pico, but is free software, and implements several features that Pico
 lacks, such as: opening multiple files, scrolling per line, undo/redo,
 syntax coloring, line numbering, and soft-wrapping overlong lines.

+.sp
 When giving a filename on the command line, the cursor can be put on a
 specific line by adding the line number with a plus sign (\fB+\fR) before
 the filename, and even in a specific column by adding it with a comma.
-
+(Negative numbers count from the end of the file or line.)
+The cursor can be put on the first or last occurrence of a specific string
+by specifying that string after \fB+/\fR or \fB+?\fR before the filename.
+The string can be made case sensitive and/or caused to be interpreted as a
+regular expression by inserting \fBc\fR and/or \fBr\fR after the \fB+\fR sign.
+These search modes can be explicitly disabled by using the uppercase variant
+of those letters: \fBC\fR and/or \fBR\fR.  When the string contains spaces,
+it needs to be enclosed in quotes.  To give an example: to open a file at
+the first occurrence of the word "Foo", one would do:
