Changelog for nano-lang-8.2-lp154.186.1.noarch.rpm :

* Fri Oct 04 2024 Yann BOYER - GNU nano 8.2:
* 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.
* Sat Jul 13 2024 Andreas Stieger - GNU nano 8.1:
* 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
* Wed May 01 2024 Andreas Stieger - GNU nano 8.0:
* By default ^F is bound to starting a forward search, and ^B to starting a backward search, while M-F and M-B repeat the search in the corresponding direction. (See the documentation if you want the old bindings back.)
* Command-line option --modernbindings (-/) makes ^Q quit, ^X cut, ^C copy, ^V paste, ^Z undo, ^Y redo, ^O open a file, ^W write a file, ^R replace, ^G find again, ^D find again backwards, ^A set the mark, ^T jump to a line, ^P show the position, and ^E execute.
* Above modern bindings are activated also when the name of nano\'s executable (or a symlink to it) starts with the letter \"e\".
* To open a file at a certain line number, one can now use also nano filename:number, besides nano +number filename.
* and put the cursor on the first and last row in the viewport, while retaining the horizontal position.
* When the three digits in an #RGB color code are all the same, the code is mapped to the xterm grey scale, giving access to fourteen levels of grey instead of just four.
* For easier access, M-\" is bound to placing/removing an anchor, and M-\' to jumping to the next anchor.
* Whenever an error occurs, the keystroke buffer is cleared, thus stopping the execution of a macro or a string bind.
* The mousewheel scrolls the viewport instead of moving the cursor.
* CVE-2024-5742: Avoid privilege escalations via symlink attacks on emergency save file (boo#1226099)
* Fri Jan 20 2023 Andreas Stieger - update to 7.2:

* Fri Apr 29 2022 Martin Pluskal - Update to version 6.3:
* For multiline regexes, text is now colored as soon a start match is found, also when there is no end match at all.
* The colorizing of any line is stopped after two thousand bytes to avoid frustrating delays.
* When environment variable NO_COLOR is set, the two default colors (yellow for the spotlight, red for error messages) are suppressed when no interface colors are specified in a nanorc file.
* Full justification and piping the whole buffer through a command now keep the cursor at the same line number.
* Utility \'xsel\' can be used to copy a marked region to the system\'s clipboard. See doc/sample.nanorc for an example.

* Fourteen new color names are available, from rosy to crimson
* Sat Oct 09 2021 Andreas Stieger - GNU nano 5.9:
* The extension of a filename is added to the name of a corresponding temporary file, so that spell checking a C file, for example, will check only the comments and strings (when using \'aspell\').
* The process number is added to the name of an emergency save file, so that when multiple nanos die they will not fight over a filename.
* Undoing a cutting operation will restore an anchor that was located in the cut area to its original line.
* When using --locking, saving a new buffer will create a lock file.
* Syntax highlighting for YAML files has been added
* Thu Jun 17 2021 Andreas Stieger - GNU nano 5.8:
* After a search, the spotlighting is dropped after 1.5 seconds (0.8 seconds with --quick) to avoid the idea that the text is selected.
* A + and a space before a filename on the command line will put the cursor at the end of the corresponding buffer.

By default the cursor is hidden until the next keystroke, but it can be forced on with --showcursor / \'set showcursor\'.
* Option --markmatch / \'set markmatch\' has been removed
* Cursor position and character code are displayed in the minibar only when option --constantshow / \'set constantshow\' is used, and their display can be toggled with M-C
* The state flags are displayed in the minibar only when option - -stateflags / \'set stateflags\' is used

* Wed Oct 07 2020 Aaron Stern - GNU nano 5.3:
* Option \'set stateflags\' makes nano show the state of auto-indenting, the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the title bar. The flags take the place of \"Modified\", and a modified buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (
*) after its name.
* Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the type of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because in most cases it is a waste of time. It requires using the option - -magic or -! or \'set magic\' to make nano try libmagic.
* The color of the indicator can be changed with \'set scrollercolor\'.
* Mon Aug 24 2020 Andreas Stieger - GNU nano 5.2:

* With any line can be \"tagged\" with an anchor, and and will jump to the nearest anchor. When using line numbers, an anchor is shown as \"+\" in the margin.
* The Execute Command prompt is now directly accessible from the main menu (with ^T, replacing the Spell Checker). The Linter, Formatter, Spell Checker, Full Justification, Suspension, and Cut-Till-End functions are available in this menu too.
* On terminals that support at least 256 colors, nine new color names are available: pink, purple, mauve, lagoon, mint, lime, peach, orange, and latte. These do not have lighter versions.
* For the color names red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, white, and black, the prefix \'light\' gives a brighter color. Prefix \'bright\' is deprecated, as it means both bold AND light.
* All color names can be preceded with \"bold,\" and/or \"italic,\" (in that order) to get a bold and/or italic typeface.
* With --bookstyle (or -O or \'set bookstyle\') nano considers any line that begins with whitespace as the start of a paragraph.
* Refreshing the screen with ^L now works in every menu.
* In the main menu, ^L also centers the line with the cursor.

* Data is synced to disk before \"... lines written\" is shown.
* The raw escape sequences for F13 to F16 are no longer recognized.
* Distro-specific syntaxes, and syntaxes of less common languages, have been moved down to subdirectory syntax/extra/. The affected distros and others may wish to move wanted syntaxes one level up. Syntaxes for Markdown, Haskell, and Ada were added.

* src/global.c (strtokeytype): Move this to a better place.
* src/global.c (first_sc_for): Move this too to a better place.
* src/prompt.c (do_yesno_prompt): Use the new and more direct func_from_key() wrapper instead of get_shortcut().
* src/text.c (do_linter): Likewise.
* src/files.c (do_insertfile, do_writeout): Likewise.
* src/files.c (do_insertfile): Adjust some indentation.
* src/prompt.c (do_statusbar_input), src/browser.c (do_browser): Reorder a few things, and adjust some whitespace.
* doc/man/nano.1, doc/man/rnano.1: Separate short and long option by a comma instead of putting the long one between parentheses. And showing the required quotes around the argument of -Q.
* doc/texinfo/nano.texi: Standardize the formatting of command-line options -- each one separately. Also add some more markup.
* doc/man/nano.1, doc/man/rnano.1: Tweak the formatting a bit so that po4a will create a nicer POT file.
* doc/man/nanorc.5: Improve some of the wordings and formatting.
* doc/syntax/nanorc.nanorc: Remove a mistaken OR which causes a \'Bad regex, empty (sub)expression\' error on some systems.
* doc/texinfo/nano.texi: Improve some wordings and formatting.

* doc/syntax/spec.nanorc: Colorize %pretrans and %posttrans fully.
* src/files.c (do_lockfile): Gettextize the \"File being edited\" prompt, and improve its wording.
* src/winio.c (do_credits): Remove the names of past translators from the Easter-egg scroll.
* THANKS: Add a missing historical translator name.
* src/winio.c (do_credits): Add Mark to the scroll, for all his undo work, colouring nano\'s interface, and other patches.

* src/files.c (open_buffer): Check here for locking and properly handle choosing to not open a file when locked instead of in open_file().
* src/winio.c (do_credits): Add a general entry for all translators.
* src/files.c (write_lockfile): Avoid writing uninitialized bytes to the lock file -- a simple null_at() would not initialize the buffer.
* src/files.c (do_lockfile): Make sure that \'lockprog\' and \'lockuser\' are terminated -- strncpy() does not guarantee that on its own.
* src/files.c (do_lockfile): Avoid printing a wrong PID on the status bar due to treating serialized PID bytes as signed integers.

* doc/man/nanorc.5: Improve the indentation of some lists.
* doc/man/nanorc.5, doc/texinfo/nano.texi: Remove the mistaken square brackets around the arguments of \"header\" and \"magic\" -- those arguments are not optional. Also add \"formatter\" to the texinfo document, and slightly improve its punctuation.

* src/rcfile.c (parse_binding): Fix the rebinding of toggles.
