nano: upgrade 8.7.1 -> 9.0

2026-04-14T15:59:32+00:00

Changelog: ============ - When the cursor almost goes offscreen to the right, all lines are now scrolled sideways together, by just the amount needed to keep the cursor in view. Use --solosidescroll or 'set solosidescroll' to get back the old, jerky, single-line horizontal scrolling. - The viewport can be scrolled sideways (in steps of one tabsize) with M-< and M->. See 'man nanorc' if M-< and M-> should switch between buffers (as they did earlier). - M-Left, M-Right, M-Up, and M-Down have become rebindable. - Stopping the recording of a macro immediately after starting it cancels the recording and leaves an existing macro in place. - Feature toggles no longer break a chain of ^K cuts or M-6 copies, except the M-K cut-from-cursor toggle. - With --mouse and --indicator, one can click in the scrollbar area to roughly navigate within the buffer.

nano: upgrade 8.3 -> 8.5

2025-07-30T15:03:07+00:00

Changelog: ============ - Anchors are now saved when a file is closed, and restored when the file is reopened -- if and when --positionlog is active. - Nano exits with an error status upon keystrokes ^O^Q and ^X^Q. - Keystroke ^L just centers the cursor, while M-% cycles it. - Option --whitespace is accepted, but left undocumented. - Syntax coloring now works correctly in more locales. - Bracketed pastes over a slow connection are more reliable. - Tabs in an external paste at a prompt are not dropped. - Feedback occurs when the cursor sits on a Byte Order Mark. - The Execute prompt is more forgiving of a typo.

nano: Remove dependency on file

2025-02-25T12:50:39+00:00

Dependency on file was added on version 2.7.4, but even then, there was no reference to this dependency in nano documentation. Today, still no reference to file as a dependency. Cc: Yoann Congal Signed-off-by: Alexis Cellier Signed-off-by: Khem Raj

nano: upgrade 8.1 -> 8.2

2024-09-10T14:20:38+00:00

Changelog: ========== - At a Yes-No prompt, beside Y and the localized initial for "Yes", also ^Y is accepted. Similarly, ^N for "No", and ^A for "All". - A text-highlighting bug with Alt+Home/Alt+End is fixed. Signed-off-by: Wang Mingyu Signed-off-by: Khem Raj

nano: upgrade 8.0 -> 8.1

2024-07-15T23:36:12+00:00

Changelog: =========== • The idiom 'nano filename:linenumber' is understood only when the option --colonparsing (or 'set colonparsing') is used. • Modern bindings are *not* activated when nano's invocation name starts with "e", as it jars with Debian's alternatives system. • New bindable function 'cycle' first centers the current row, then moves it to the top of the viewport, then to the bottom. It is bound by default to ^L. • Option --listsyntaxes/-z lists the names of available syntaxes. Signed-off-by: Wang Mingyu Signed-off-by: Khem Raj
