163 - When returning, use the "?" operator instead of an if/else
167 - When uncutting text in the process of copying it, always set
168 placewewant, as do_uncut_text() does, so that the current line
169 is always updated properly. (DLR)
172 - Since the field precision operator used in the sprintf() uses
173 ints and not size_t's, replace it with two strncpy()s, which
174 use size_t's, and a null termination. (DLR)

191 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)
192 - Make sure that the statusbar cursor position is always
193 properly reset when we get out of all statusbar prompts.
194 Changes to do_insertfile(), do_writeout(),
195 handle_sigwinch(), main(), and do_prompt_abort(). (DLR)
198 - If we get a verbatim input sequence ending with Ctrl-J, remove
199 the Ctrl-J from the buffer before interpreting it as Enter, so
200 that it doesn't erroneously fall through to the edit window
201 and get interpreted as Justify. (DLR)
204 - Simplify to avoid an unnecessary key_buffer_len check. (DLR)
205 - doc/syntax/c.nanorc:
206 - Add "size_t" and "ssize_t" to the types regexes. (DLR,
207 suggested by Mike Frysinger)
208 - Simplify "signed" and "unsigned" in the types regexes. (DLR)
210 GNU nano 1.9.99pre1 - 2006.08.29
212 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)
213 - Fix option descriptions. At least one of the two parts of
214 +LINE,COLUMN must be specified at all times; COLUMN is not the
215 only optional value. Also, fix wording problems in
216 -O/--morespace and -W/--wordbounds. Changes to usage(),
217 UPGRADE, nano.1, nanorc.5, rnano.1, nano.texi, and
218 nanorc.sample.in. (DLR)
219 - Fix mouse support so that it truly ignores everything except
220 releases and clicks of button 1. Changes to
221 enable_mouse_support() and get_mouseinput(). (DLR)
222 - In certain places, call wnoutrefresh(bottomwin) after calling
223 blank_statusbar(), in order to ensure that the statusbar is
224 actually blanked. Changes to do_help(), do_continue(),
225 handle_sigwinch(), and update_statusbar_line(). (DLR)
226 - If the mark isn't on, allow Meta-} and Meta-{ to indent and
227 unindent only the current line, just as it would if the mark
228 covered only the current line, instead of displaying a
229 statusbar message and quitting. Changes to shortcut_init(),
230 do_indent_marked() (renamed do_indent()),
231 do_indent_marked_void() (renamed do_indent_void()),
232 do_unindent_marked_void() (renamed do_unindent()), and
233 UPGRADE. (DLR, suggested by John M. Gabriele)
234 - Consolidate do_scroll_(up|down)() into do_(up|down)(), as
235 they have a lot of duplicate code. New functions do_up_void()

237 do_scroll_up(), do_down(), do_scroll_down(), do_left(), and
239 - Make Jordi's email address, and the description of what the
240 manual pages were written for, consistent in the
241 documentation. Changes to AUTHORS, nano.1, nanorc.5, and
242 rnano.1. (DLR, based on suggestions by Jordi)
243 - Don't include sys/ioctl.h in nano.c when NANO_TINY is defined,
244 as ioctl() is never used then. (DLR)
245 - Improve the display of bools in debugging statements. Changes
246 to parse_kbinput(), get_escape_seq_kbinput(),
247 parse_escape_seq_kbinput(), get_shortcut(), and get_toggle().
249 - Rename the values of the scroll_dir enum to UP_DIR and
250 DOWN_DIR, since UP is defined as a termcap value in Tru64's
251 and NetBSD 3.0's curses.h, which breaks compilation on those
252 systems. Changes to do_page_up(), do_page_down(), do_up(),
253 do_down(), nano.h, and edit_scroll(). (DLR; found by Daniel
254 Richard G. and Adam Wysocki, repectively)
255 - Rename the DISABLE_ROOTWRAP #define to DISABLE_ROOTWRAPPING.
257 - When using slang 2.x, call SLutf8_enable() with an argument of
258 1 instead of TRUE, as that's the proper way to enable its
259 UTF-8 support. Changes to main() and configure.ac. (DLR)
260 - Fix punctuation relating to "i.e." in various comments and
261 documentation. (Benno Schulenberg and DLR)
262 - Make bad_mbchar a static const char* const in chars.c, as its
263 value doesn't change. (DLR)

265 do_insertfile_void(), shortcut_init(), toggle_init(),
266 help_init(), print_view_warning(), usage(), and do_mark().
267 (Benno Schulenberg, minor tweaks by DLR)
268 - Properly preserve the cursor position when going from the
269 "Read File" or "Save File As" prompt to the file browser to
270 the "Go To Directory" prompt, and then canceling back to the
271 "Read File" or "Save File As" prompt. Changes to
272 get_prompt_string() and do_prompt(). (DLR)
273 - Rename the parameter old_pww to pww_save in
274 need_statusbar_horizontal_update(), need_horizontal_update(),
275 need_vertical_update(), and edit_redraw(); and rename the
276 variable old_pww to pww_save in do_search() and do_research();
277 for consistency. (DLR)
280 - Refactor the mouse support, modeling it after do_mouse() for
282 - Remove unneeded call to blank_edit(). (DLR)
283 - After entering "..", select the directory we were in before
284 instead of the first filename in the list, as Pico does. (DLR)
285 - Simplify screen update handling and exiting. (DLR)
286 - Fix potential segfault when going to a directory that doesn't
287 begin with '/'. (DLR)
289 - During the operating directory check, if path isn't NULL,
290 don't bother freeing it before mallocstrcpy()ing operating_dir
291 into it, as the latter operation will free it. (DLR)
292 - Don't bother freeing path if it's NULL. (DLR)
294 - Fix off-by-one error when calculating longest that kept the
295 rightmost column of the screen from being used. (DLR)
296 - Calculate width here instead of in browser_refresh(), as it's
297 more consistent. (DLR)
298 - If filelist is initialized, free it here instead of in several
299 places in do_browser(). (DLR)
302 - Fix problems where translated versions of "(dir)" could be
303 truncated, and where file sizes could be too long. (DLR)
304 - For the ".." entry, display "(parent dir)" instead of "(dir)",
306 - If a filename is too long, truncate it and display an ellipsis
307 before it, as titlebar() does. (DLR)
308 - Add translator comments explaining the maximum intended
309 lengths of "(dir)" and "(parent dir)". (DLR)
310 - Fix problem where width wouldn't be properly initialized if
311 the file list took up one line or less. (DLR)
312 - Don't display overly long filenames with ellipses if the
313 number of columns is extremely small. (DLR)
314 browser_select_filename()
315 - New function, used to select a specific filename in the list.
318 - Simplify the uses of tail(). (DLR)
320 - Since all the strings passed to this are dynamically
321 allocated, use null_at() to strip the directory from the
322 string. Also, return the stripped path instead of modifying
325 mbstrncasecmp(), mbstrcasestr(), mbrevstrcasestr()
326 - Don't allocate space for multibyte characters until we've
327 asserted that the parameters we're using aren't NULL. (DLR)
330 - If we execute a command in a new buffer, move back to the
331 beginning of the first line of the buffer afterwards, for
333 - If we don't insert a file into a new buffer, properly update
334 the x-coordinate to account for the number of characters
335 inserted on the current line. (DLR)
337 - Don't return NULL when the current directory doesn't exist, as
338 we can still recover from that. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
339 - Add various cleanups. (DLR)
341 sc_init_one(), shortcut_init()
342 - Don't include blank_after when DISABLE_HELP is defined, as
343 it's never used then. (DLR)
345 - Remove the ^X shortcut for CutTillEnd at the search prompt, as
346 official Pico doesn't include it, and it can be confused with
347 Exit. (DLR, suggested by Benno Schulenberg)
348 - Make the help shortcut for the "Go to Directory" prompt call
349 do_browser_help() instead of do_help_void(), as this prompt is
350 only accessible inside the file browser. (DLR, found by Benno
353 - Don't include desc or blank_after when DISABLE_HELP is
354 defined, as neither are ever used then. (DLR)
355 - Make sure that a blank line is not displayed after the Meta-Q
356 toggle when mouse support is disabled and we're in restricted
357 mode, and that it is displayed all other times. (DLR)
359 - Don't include desc or blank_after when DISABLE_HELP is
360 defined, as neither are ever used then. (DLR)
363 - Simplify screen update handling and exiting. (DLR)
364 - Don't allow moving down a page when the last line of the help
365 text is onscreen. (DLR)

368 they're no more than 509 characters again. (DLR)
370 do_scroll_up(), do_scroll_down()
371 - Fix problems where, after scrolling, the previous and current
372 lines would not be updated properly if the current line was
373 not the first or last line of the edit window. (DLR, found by
377 - Just in case we're in the statusbar prompt, reset the
378 statusbar cursor position when resizing the window. (DLR)
380 - Remove the manual disabling of color support if regex.h isn't
381 found, as configure.ac now handles that. (DLR)
384 - Add missing ENABLE_COLOR #ifdef around the second check for a
385 syntax with no color commands, to fix compilation with rcfile
386 support and without color support. (Daniel Richard G.)
389 - Remove unnecessary casting of c to int. (DLR)
392 - Remove the marking of the file as modified, as do_insertfile()
393 now handles that. (DLR)
396 - Tweak to remove the assumption that n is always positive,
397 although it always is in this particular case. (DLR)
400 - Properly handle combined meta and escape sequences, so that
401 e.g. Meta-/ will work properly when the / is on the numeric
402 keypad and NumLock is off. Also, properly handle combined
403 control character and escape sequences, so that e.g. Esc Esc /
404 will work properly when the / is on the numeric keypad and
405 NumLock is off. (DLR)
406 - Translate extended keypad keys to their ASCII equivalents even
407 when we hit Escape once or twice before typing them, for
409 - If they're defined, translate KEY_SUP into NANO_PREVLINE_KEY
410 and KEY_SDOWN into NANO_NEXTLINE_KEY, since they are sometimes
411 generated by Shift-Up and Shift-Down. (DLR)
412 parse_escape_seq_kbinput()
413 - Handle unknown and unignored escape sequences once here
414 instead of twice in parse_kbinput(). (DLR)
415 - Don't ignore escape sequences anymore. Instead, return the
416 corresponding key so that parse_kbinput() can translate it.
419 - Properly handle buf[start_index]'s being a null terminator.
422 - Simplify the setting of paintlen. (DLR)
424 - Don't display overly long filenames with ellipses if the
425 number of columns is extremely small. (DLR)
426 - Don't display any blank space for the state if we're in the
427 file browser, as Pico doesn't. (DLR)
429 - If regex.h isn't found, display an error message if we try to
430 enable color support. (DLR)
431 - Fix the spacing of the error message displayed when slcurses.h
433 - If we use the --disable-wrapping option, ignore the
434 --disable-wrapping-as-root option. (DLR)
435 - Add minor cosmetic tweaks. (DLR)
437 - Don't include nanorc.sample in EXTRA_DIST, as it's only useful
438 when we're building from source, as opposed to building a
440 - Tweak to remove usage of the += operator again. (DLR)
441 - doc/man/Makefile.am:
442 - Tweak to remove usage of the += operator again. (DLR)
443 - doc/man/fr/nano.1, doc/man/fr/nanorc.5, doc/man/fr/rnano.1:
444 - Updated manpage translations by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
446 - Update section 5.3 again to not state "the latest development
447 version" before 1.3.12, as it's no longer accurate. (DLR)
448 - Add some minor spacing fixes. (DLR)
450 - Add missing description of the -O/--morespace command line
452 - doc/syntax/c.nanorc:
453 - Since .i and .ii are preprocessed C and C++ output, colorize
454 them here. (Mike Frysinger)
455 - Remove redundancy from the file extension regexes. (DLR)
456 - doc/syntax/ruby.nanorc:
457 - Add missing blank line after the first comment, for

475 so that they show up in nano.pot, and make them all
476 consistent. (Benno Schulenberg and DLR)
477 - Reduce USE_UTF8 to a static bool in chars.c, allow nano.c to
478 set it via a function, and allow winio.c to read its value
479 when needed. New functions utf8_init() and using_utf8();
480 changes to is_alnum_mbchar(), is_blank_mbchar(),
481 is_cntrl_mbchar(), is_punct_mbchar(), control_mbrep(),

486 main(), display_string(), and do_credits(). (DLR)
487 - Add the ability to use bold text instead of reverse video
488 text, via the -D/--boldtext command line option and the
489 "boldtext" rcfile option. Changes to browser_refresh(),

503 by Benno Schulenberg)
504 - Adjust the shortcut list display and related mouse support to
505 not waste the last few characters of bottomwin when the screen

507 do_mouseinput() and bottombars(). (Benno Schulenberg, minor
509 - Add several blank entries to the main shortcut list and the
510 global toggle list, in order to make the help text easier to
511 read. Changes to sc_init_one(), toggle_init(),
512 toggle_init_one(), shortcut_init(), get_toggle(), and
513 help_init(). (DLR, suggested by Benno Schulenberg)
514 - Reduce NO_RCFILE to a static bool in nano.c, since it's only
515 used there. Changes to finish() and main(). (DLR)
516 - Readd the Cancel -> Exit aliases for the file browser and help
517 browser. New function parse_help_input(); changes to
518 parse_browser_input() and do_help(). (DLR, suggested by Benno

528 do_unindent_marked_void(); changes to shortcut_init(). (Chris
530 - Change the shortcut to find the matching bracket to Ctrl-].
531 Changes to shortcut_init() and do_statusbar_input(). (DLR)
532 - Drop the Meta-] and Meta-[ aliases for Meta-} and Meta-{, and

558 do_page_down(), do_up(), do_scroll_up(), do_down(),
559 do_scroll_down(), do_input(), do_search(), do_research(), and
561 - Ignore unhandled meta key sequences, function keys, and escape
562 sequences, indicate it on the statusbar, and beep when we get
563 an unhandled shortcut or toggle, as Pico does. To get this to
564 work properly, add a shortcut for moving to the next
565 search/replace string. New function is_ascii_cntrl_char();
566 changes to shortcut_init(), do_input(), do_statusbar_input(),
567 get_prompt_string(), and parse_kbinput(). (DLR, suggested by
568 Nick Warne and Benno Schulenberg)

571 nanorc.5, nanorc.sample, and nano.texi. (Benno Schulenberg and
573 - If we're using verbatim input to enter a Unicode sequence,
574 indicate it on the statusbar, and add a translator comment
575 explaining the message. Also, refactor get_unicode_kbinput()
576 to remove redundant code. New function add_unicode_digit();

579 - Allow normal typing of high-bit control characters, as Pico
580 does. Changes to do_output() and do_statusbar_output(). (DLR)
581 - Move color regexes into separate files, make nanorc.sample
582 reference them, and make them install properly. In the
583 process, rename nanorc.sample to nanorc.sample.in, put
584 @PKGDATADIR@ at the beginning of all nanorc file paths, add
585 needed AC_DEFINE_DIR macro from the Autoconf Macro Archive at
586 http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ac_define_dir.m4, and make
587 configure.ac do the substitution, so that the proper paths
588 will always be used in nanorc.sample. New files

600 function, and remove curses_ended. Changes to do_suspend().
602 - Remove the workaround for glibc 2.2.3's broken regexec(), and
603 replace it with a FAQ entry explaining the problem, since it
604 could break anything using extended regular expressions, and
605 glibc 2.2.3 is old. Changes to configure.ac, faq.html,
606 nano.h, proto.h, and UPGRADE; removal of safe_regexec(). (DLR)
607 - Minor wording fixes to various messages. Changes to
608 load_history(), shortcut_init(), toggle_init(), usage(),
609 do_suspend(), do_input(), rcfile_error(), parse_argument(),

631 reserved "default" syntax from being handled correctly. (DLR)
634 - New function, containing the main functionality of
635 do_cut_till_end(). (DLR)
637 - Add parameter cut_till_end, to indicate when we're cutting

653 - Don't free backupname before displaying it in a statusbar error
654 message. (DLR, found by Bill Marcum)
655 - If we can't save the backup file for some reason, at least
656 save the original file, if possible, since that's better than
657 saving nothing. (DLR, problem found by Bill Marcum, solution
659 - Clarify the error messages when creating a temporary file or
660 writing one for prepending fails. (DLR)
661 - Simplify the routine for closing the file just before we
662 indicate success on the statusbar. (DLR)

676 - Add the ability to move to the first and last line of the
677 current file from the main list via Meta-\ (Meta-|) and Meta-/
678 (Meta-?). Also, make sure all the equivalent shortcuts in the
679 search, replace, and "Go To Line" lists accept both the meta
680 keys and the equivalent function keys. (DLR)
681 - Reorganize the main shortcut list to make it easier for new
682 users. It now lists the twelve Pico-compatible default
683 operations, followed by search and replace shortcuts, followed
684 by cut and paste shortcuts, followed by marking shortcuts,
685 followed by back and forth movement shortcuts, followed by
686 start and end movement shortcuts, followed by buffer-switching
687 shortcuts, followed by insertion and deletion shortcuts,
688 followed by special movement shortcuts, followed by advanced
689 word and paragraph shortcuts, followed by display shortcuts.
690 (DLR and Benno Schulenberg, suggested by Benno Schulenberg)
691 - Tweak the descriptions of some shortcut keys to make them more
692 uniform. (Benno Schulenberg, minor tweaks by DLR)
693 - Shorten the "Where is Next" shortcut name to fit on the screen
694 after adding Meta-\ (Meta-|) and Meta-/ (Meta-?). (DLR)
695 - Lengthen the "UnCut Txt" shortcut name to "UnCut Text", as
696 there's enough room to display it unabbreviated. (DLR)
697 - Clarify the descriptions of the "Search" and "Replace"
698 shortcuts, and add spaces to the "Exit" shortcut's description
699 in multibuffer mode. (Benno Schulenberg)
700 - Remove the "Go To Line" shortcut in the replace shortcut list,
701 for compatibility with Pico. (DLR)

704 display" toggle up to after the "Use more space for editing"
705 toggle, for consistency. (DLR)
706 - Reorganize the global toggle list to make it easier for new
707 users. It now lists toggles that affect the way things are
708 displayed, followed by toggles that affect editing, followed
709 by toggles that have to do with peripheral things. (DLR,
710 suggested by Benno Schulenberg)
713 - Call get_shortcut() after getting input, so that we only have
714 to check for a main shortcut key instead of both it and all of
715 its equivalents. (DLR)
716 - Clean up the handling of NANO_REFRESH_KEY. (DLR)
717 - Remove redundant key checks. (DLR)

724 space, move the space to the next help string to make it
725 easier for translators to see. (Benno Schulenberg)
726 - Make sure we have enough memory in all cases when displaying
727 the shortcut and toggle lists. (DLR)

729 have fewer than 24 columns, for consistency with the toggle
730 help text. (DLR, suggested by Benno Schulenberg)

737 - Properly handle the case where we can't break the line of help
739 - Wrap the line of help text at (COLS - 1) instead of
740 (COLS - 8), for consistency. (DLR, suggested by Benno
744 - Rename to print_opt_full(), for consistency. (DLR)
746 - Fix inaccuracies in the usage example. (DLR)
747 - Put command line arguments in <>'s instead of []'s, as the

758 cutting or copying function associated with a shortcut. (DLR)
760 - Reorder the toggle #defines to match their corresponding order
761 in toggle_init(). (DLR)
762 - Move the #include for sys/param.h here from nano.c, and add an
763 #ifdef around it. (DLR)

767 disabled, so that we aren't erroneously kicked out of the
768 statusbar prompt under any circumstances. (DLR, found by Benno

784 messages, for consistency. (DLR)
785 - Add single quotes around the invalid string argument in the
786 error message about unterminated strings, to avoid confusion.
789 - Don't generate an error if we find a duplicate syntax name,
790 since we might be trying to override a syntax in the global
791 nanorc with one in our local nanorc. Instead, free any
792 duplicate syntaxes we find, so that we always use the last
793 syntax with a given name. (DLR)

796 for consistency. (DLR)
798 - Check for a color command's not following a syntax line before

816 - Change all rcfile error messages to refer to commands instead
817 of directives, for consistency with nanorc.5. (DLR)
820 - Fix problem where tab widths in columns would always be
821 calculated as tabsize. (DLR, found by Alexey Toptygin)

908 - Add a few capitalization and wording fixes. (DLR)
909 - Remove section 4.4, and move all section 4 entries after it up
910 one number, since it no longer applies. Meta-] and Meta-[ are

1088 - Remove unneeded setting of currshortcut. (DLR)
1090 - Rename parameter ret to retval, for consistency. (DLR)
1093 - Remove erroneous handling of the "Get Help" shortcut in the
1094 file browser shortcut list. (DLR)
1096 - Remove now-unneeded VERMSG #define. (DLR)
1099 - Redraw the prompt and set finished to FALSE when NANO_HELP_KEY
1100 is pressed, so that we don't leave the prompt, enter the help
1101 browser, and restart the prompt after leaving it. This will
1102 properly preserve the cursor position after doing the last of
1106 - Do sanity checks manually again instead of in an assert, and
1107 set errno to EINVAL as well as return -1 if they fail. This
1108 matches the manual page. (DLR)
1111 - If we fail to get a character MAX_BUF_SIZE times in a row,
1112 hang up regardless of the value of errno. This fixes a
1113 problem where nano doesn't terminate properly under xterm if
1114 the user su's to root, runs nano, and then closes the terminal
1115 window. errno isn't set properly to EIO then. (DLR, found by
1116 John <acocaracha@gmail.com>)
1118 - Interpret Shift-Begin, Shift-Delete, Shift-End, Shift-Home,
1119 Shift-Insert, and Shift-Suspend as Begin, Delete, End, Home,
1120 Insert, and Suspend, respectively, regardless of whether
1121 --rebindkeypad is used. (DLR, found by David Benbennick)
1123 - Use PACKAGE_STRING, as defined by autoconf, instead of VERMSG.
1126 - If either current or old_current is offscreen, we're not on
1127 the first page, and/or we're not on the same page as before,
1128 update old_current before scrolling the edit window. This
1129 fixes a potential display problem when a search moves the
1130 cursor offscreen and onto a different page. (DLR, found by
1133 - Fix minor memory leak. (DLR)
1134 - Fix memory corruption problems caused by not allocating enough
1135 space for converted when a line ends in a tab(s) and we're not
1136 in UTF-8 mode. (DLR, found by Duncan Geoffry Doyle, Nick
1137 Warne, and Mike Frysinger)
1139 - Update the Free Translation Project's address, change the
1140 character set to UTF-8, and remove broken links to contributed
1141 RedHat nano packages. (DLR)
1143 - Better display the default values for quotestr. (DLR)
1145 - Give the default values for the brackets and punct options,
1146 and better display the default values for quotestr. (DLR)
1147 - Mention that quotes inside string parameters don't need to be
1148 escaped with backslashes. (John M. Gabriele, minor tweaks by
1151 - Remove unneeded comments. (DLR)
1152 - doc/nanorc.sample:
1153 - Remove unneeded comment. (DLR)
1154 - Mention that quotes inside string parameters don't need to be
1155 escaped with backslashes. (John M. Gabriele, minor tweaks by
1158 - Add new Swedish translator.
1160 GNU nano 1.3.10 - 2005.12.23
1162 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)
1163 - More int -> bool conversions. (DLR)
1164 - Add the ability to scroll up or down single lines without
1165 scrolling the cursor, via Meta-- and Meta-+. Note that this
1166 is disabled when NANO_SMALL is defined. New functions
1167 do_scroll_up() and do_scroll_down(); changes to
1168 shortcut_init(). (DLR, suggested by Mike Frysinger)
1169 - Properly handle mouse clicks on the statusbar prompt text.
1170 New functions statusbar_xplustabs() and
1171 get_statusbar_page_start(); changes to do_statusbar_mouse(),
1172 nanoget_repaint(), nanogetstr(), and statusq(). (DLR)
1173 - Since the statusbar prompt code needs at least 4 columns in
1174 order to work properly, make that the minimum number of
1175 columns that nano requires in order to run, and remove
1176 assertions and code that make use of a smaller number of
1177 columns. Changes to window_init(), nanoget_repaint(),
1178 titlebar(), statusbar(), and get_page_start(). (DLR)
1179 - Move get_page_start(), xplustabs(), actual_x(), strnlenpt(),
1180 strlenpt(), check_linenumbers(), dump_buffer(), and
1181 dump_buffer_reverse() from winio.c to utils.c, as they're
1182 really utility functions. (DLR)
1183 - Add missing stdio.h #include to text.c and winio.c, and remove
1184 unneeded sys/wait.h #include from files.c. (DLR)
1185 - Move functions specific to the statusbar prompt to their own
1186 source file, adjust related variables accordingly, and rename
1187 variable resetstatuspos reset_statusbar_x. New file prompt.c;
1188 changes to do_statusbar_input(), do_statusbar_mouse(),
1189 do_statusbar_output(), do_statusbar_home(),
1190 do_statusbar_end(), do_statusbar_right(), do_statusbar_left(),
1191 do_statusbar_backspace(), do_statusbar_delete(),
1192 do_statusbar_cut_text(), do_statusbar_next_word(),
1193 do_statusbar_prev_word(), do_statusbar_verbatim_input(),
1194 statusbar_xplustabs(), get_statusbar_page_start(),
1195 nanoget_repaint(), nanogetstr(), statusq(), statusq_abort(),
1196 and do_yesno() (all moved to prompt.c). (DLR)
1197 - Move functions specific to the help browser to their own
1198 source file, and adjust related variables accordingly. New
1199 file help.c; changes to help_init(), help_line_len(), and
1200 do_help() (all moved to help.c). (DLR)
1201 - Tweak a few functions to remove the assumption that the file
1202 always ends in a magicline. Changes to cut_line(),
1203 do_cut_till_end(), open_buffer(), read_file(), write_file(),
1204 do_last_line(), do_para_end(), do_wrap(), backup_lines(),
1205 find_paragraph(), do_justify(), do_alt_speller(), and
1206 do_wordlinechar_count(). (DLR)
1207 - Tweak a few functions to rely on fileage and filebot instead
1208 of NULL for their checks to detect the top or bottom of the
1209 file. Changes to cut_line(), cut_to_eol(), do_page_up(),
1210 do_page_down(), do_para_end(), do_next_word(), do_prev_word(),
1211 do_up(), do_down(), do_scroll_down(), do_right(), do_mouse(),
1212 do_gotolinecolumn(), do_delete(), begpar(), find_paragraph(),
1213 do_wrap(), remove_magicline(), and edit_scroll(). (DLR)
1214 - Add new -L/--nonewlines command line option, and new
1215 "nonewlines" rcfile option, to control whether nano adds
1216 magiclines to the ends of files. Changes to read_file(),
1217 write_marked_file(), move_to_filestruct(),
1218 copy_from_filestruct(), usage(), do_output(), main(),
1219 do_replace_loop(), do_delete(), do_int_spell_fix(),
1220 do_alt_speller(), nano.1, nanorc.5, nano.texi, and
1221 nanorc.sample. (DLR, suggested by Jaime
1222 <re2823@Safe-mail.net>)
1223 - Move functions specific to the file browser to their own
1224 source file, and adjust related variables accordingly. New
1225 file browser.c; changes to striponedir(), browser_init(),
1226 do_browser(), and do_browse_from() (all moved to browser.c).
1228 - Add the statusbar prompt's equivalent of placewewant,
1229 statusbar_pww, to prompt.c, and convert its functions to use
1230 it. New functions reset_statusbar_cursor() and
1231 need_statusbar_horizontal_update(); changes to
1232 do_statusbar_mouse(), do_statusbar_output(),
1233 do_statusbar_home(), do_statusbar_end(), do_statusbar_right(),
1234 do_statusbar_left(), do_statusbar_delete(),
1235 do_statusbar_cut_text(), do_statusbar_next_word(),
1236 do_statusbar_prev_word(), do_statusbar_verbatim_input(),
1237 nanoget_repaint() (renamed update_statusbar_line()),
1238 nanogetstr() (renamed get_prompt_string()), statusq() (renamed
1239 do_prompt()), statusq_abort() (renamed do_prompt_abort()), and
1240 do_yesno() (renamed do_yesno_prompt()). (DLR)
1241 - Initialize the static pid_t pid in text.c to -1. (DLR)
1242 - Fix copyright years on source files. All functions in
1243 browser.c were originally added in 2001; the oldest function
1244 in color.c is do_colorinit() (now color_init()), which was
1245 originally added in 2001; the oldest function in chars.c is
1246 revstrstr(), which was originally added in 2001; the oldest
1247 function in help.c is do_help(), which was originally added in
1248 2000; the oldest function in prompt.c is statusq() (now
1249 do_prompt()), which was originally added before 0.6.6, which
1250 was apparently in 1999; all functions in rcfile.c were
1251 originally added in 2001; one of the oldest functions in
1252 search.c is do_search(), which was originally added in 0.2.7,
1253 which was apparently in 1999; and one of the oldest functions
1254 in text.c is do_wrap(), which was originally added in 0.3.1,
1255 which was apparently in 1999. (DLR)
1256 - For functions originally adapted from other sources, add
1257 notices from the original files, as we do with the tab
1258 completion functions adapted from busybox, updating the Free
1259 Software Foundation's address as needed. Also, invoke LGPL
1260 clause 3 to convert the LGPLed ngetdelim() and ngetline()
1261 functions to use the GPL instead. This is done so that we
1262 don't have to include a copy of the LGPL, and because the
1263 changes made to integrate these functions with nano make them
1264 dependent on nano's GPLed functions and hence useless
1266 - Don't install the localized versions of the manpages if
1267 nano is built with --disable-nls. Changes to Makefile.am and
1268 doc/man/Makefile.am. (Mike Frysinger)
1269 - Rename the NANO_SMALL #define to NANO_TINY. (DLR)
1270 - Overhaul the bracket searching code so that it no longer
1271 requires regex support to work. New functions revstrpbrk()
1272 and find_bracket_match(); changes to shortcut_init() and
1273 do_find_bracket(). (DLR)
1274 - Add the ability to do bracket searches at the statusbar
1275 prompt. New functions find_statusbar_bracket_match() and
1276 do_statusbar_find_bracket(); changes to do_statusbar_input().
1278 - Beep whenever we can't read a file or directory and have to
1279 indicate it on the statusbar, as Pico does. Changes to
1280 do_browser(), open_file(), and write_file(). (DLR)
1281 - Adjust copyright notices in all source files to account for
1282 Chris' reassigning the 2005-2006 copyright on nano to me.
1283 Changes to do_credits(). (DLR)
1284 - Readd RETSIGTYPE return types for signal handlers, since any
1285 problems with its being defined as the wrong type aren't
1286 nano's fault. Changes to handle_hupterm(), do_suspend(),
1287 do_continue(), handle_sigwinch(), and cancel_command(). (DLR)
1288 - Since proto.h includes nano.h, and nano.h includes config.h
1289 first, include proto.h first and remove redundant includes of
1290 config.h in all non-header source files. (DLR)
1291 - Refer to the Enter key instead of the Return key for
1292 consistency. Changes to load_history() and rcfile_error().
1296 - When setting the width of each file, use the "?" operator
1297 instead of an if/else clause. (DLR)
1300 - If wcwidth() returns -1 for the character passed in, treat the
1301 character as having the width of Unicode U+FFFD (Replacement
1302 Character) instead of having a width of zero, since display
1303 problems can crop up with the latter approach. (DLR)
1305 - Detect the case where the character isn't found in the string
1306 more accurately. (DLR)
1309 - Since placewewant will always be zero after the line is cut,
1310 set it to zero directly instead of assigning it the value of
1314 - Remove apparently unneeded logic to handle a case where
1315 current is NULL, since it shouldn't be NULL there. (DLR)
1317 - Store the value of digits(ULONG_MAX) in a static, since it
1318 doesn't change and hence doesn't need to be recalculated.
1322 - Change the description of the Meta-] shortcut to "Find
1323 matching bracket", as it's clearer. (DLR)
1326 - If DISABLE_WRAPPING is defined, the code in DISABLE_ROOTWRAP
1327 #ifdefs isn't included, so don't display
1328 "--disable-wrapping-as-root" in that case. (DLR)
1330 - Rename to do_continue(), and rename parameter s to signal, for
1333 - Move to text.c, since it's an advanced text-based operation.
1336 - Readd MIN_EDITOR_COLS #define, set to 4. (DLR)
1338 - Remove now-unused externs for currslen, shortcut_list,
1339 fileinfo, syntaxfile_regexp, and synfilematches. (DLR)
1341 do_statusbar_input()
1342 - Fix misplaced break when handling NANO_VERBATIM_KEY. (DLR)
1343 reset_statusbar_cursor()
1344 - Fix cursor placement problem by modeling the code more closely
1345 after reset_cursor(). (DLR)
1347 - Adjust #ifdefs to leave out disabled keys entirely instead of
1348 keeping enough code to just ignore them. (DLR)
1351 - Remove unneeded assert. (DLR)
1354 - Rename to search_replace_abort(). (DLR)
1356 - Remove parameter can_display_wrap, as it's always set to TRUE
1357 now, and rename parameter wholeword to whole_word, for
1359 - Only include the whole_word parameter when DISABLE_SPELLER
1360 isn't defined, as it's only used then. (DLR)
1362 - Replace with search_replace_abort(), since it does the same
1363 things that this function does. (DLR)
1365 - Change order of parameters to more closely match those of
1366 findnextstr(), and rename parameter wholewords to whole_word,
1367 for consistency. (DLR)
1368 - Only include the whole_word parameter when DISABLE_SPELLER
1369 isn't defined, as it's only used then. (DLR)
1372 - Instead of hardcoding /bin/sh as the shell to use when
1373 executing a command, use $SHELL, and only fall back to /bin/sh
1374 if $SHELL isn't set. (DLR)
1376 - Rename variable wrapping to prepending, to avoid confusion,
1377 and rename the static bool same_line_wrap to prepend_wrap to
1379 - Properly add a new magicline when needed if, in the process of
1380 wrapping, we prepend text to the last line of the file. (DLR)
1382 - Only include the newline parameter if DISABLE_HELP isn't
1383 defined, as it's only used then. (DLR)
1384 - In the surrounding #ifdef, replace the combination of
1385 !DISABLE_JUSTIFY and !DISABLE_WRAPPING with
1386 !DISABLE_WRAPJUSTIFY, for consistency. (DLR)
1388 - Return FALSE if foo is NULL, as inpar() does. (DLR)
1390 - Return void instead of a pointer to the copy of the first
1391 line, since current will point to the same location after the
1392 text is copied and so can be used instead of the old return
1394 - Remove unused quote_len parameter. (DLR)
1396 - Don't save current_y and restore it if the user unjustifies,
1397 as the reset_cursor() called by edit_refresh() after restoring
1398 edittop and current will ensure that current_y is restored to
1399 its original value. (DLR)
1400 - Renumber after justifying each individual paragraph, since
1401 find_paragraph() needs the line numbers to be right as well as
1402 edit_refresh(). This fixes a potential segfault when doing
1403 full justify with auto-indent turned on. (DLR)
1405 - Move the code that replaces the text of the current file with
1406 the text of the spell-checked file into its own function,
1407 replace_buffer(). (DLR)
1410 - Simplify parsing of the column number. (DLR)
1412 - Do sanity checks in an assert instead of checking them
1413 manually and returning -1 if they fail. (DLR)
1415 - Only include when DISABLE_SPELLER isn't defined, as it's only
1418 - Fix test so that we scroll through the line in 8-character
1419 chunks when COLS is greater than 8, not when COLS is greater
1425 - Rename parameter inputbuf to buf, for consistency. (DLR)
1427 - Rename variable x to xpt, to avoid confusion. (DLR)
1429 - Remove now-unneeded logic that set the index parameter to zero
1430 if the fileptr parameter didn't point to current. (DLR)
1432 - Rename to edit_draw(), and rename parameter yval to line.
1435 - Remove unneeded assert. (DLR)
1437 - Make mouse clicks on the Yes/No/All shortcuts work properly
1438 when the MORE_SPACE flag is set. (DLR)
1440 - Clarify description of --disable-speller. (DLR)
1441 - Disable wrapping entirely when --enable-tiny is used, as it
1442 matches the FAQ, it makes nano even smaller, and it eliminates
1443 the need for --disable-wrapping-as-root in that case (in which
1444 it's impossible to turn wrapping back on without nanorc
1447 - Mention that the minimum required version of texinfo is 4.0,
1448 since that's the first version that supports generating HTML.
1450 - Mention that the minimum required version of groff is 1.12,
1451 since that's the first version that supports generating HTML.
1453 - Update the given cvs commands so that they work again. (DLR)
1455 - Add a new section 5.3 to explain the status of nano's Unicode
1456 support. (Mike Frysinger, minor tweaks by DLR)
1457 - Clarify section 5.3 to better explain how to enable Unicode
1458 support, and remove the mention of quirks, since they turned
1459 out to not be a nano problem. (Mike Frysinger and DLR)
1461 - Make one non-bold instance of "nano" bold, for consistency.
1463 - doc/man/fr/nano.1, doc/man/fr/nanorc.5:
1464 - Updated manpage translations by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
1466 - Add rnano.1 manpage from Thijs Kinkhorst. (Jordi) DLR: Merge
1467 a few minor updates from nano.1.
1469 - Fix inconsistent wording and punctuation. (DLR)
1470 - Add missing configure options. (Mike Frysinger, minor tweaks
1472 - Sort the configure options more consistently, and add missing
1473 --disable-utf8 option. (DLR)
1474 - Move --disable-wrapping above --enable-tiny, as the latter now
1476 - doc/nanorc.sample:
1477 - Tweak the "c-file" regex for characters to properly accept
1478 '\"' and reject '"' and '''. (DLR)
1479 - doc/texinfo/Makefile.am:
1480 - Automatically generate an HTML version of the info page,
1483 - Add browser.c, help.c, and prompt.c to nano_SOURCES. (DLR)
1485 GNU nano 1.3.9 - 2005.10.23
1487 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)
1488 - More int -> bool conversions. (DLR)
1489 - Fix a few last instances of the current line number's being
1490 saved as an int instead of a ssize_t. Changes to
1491 renumber_all(), renumber(), do_alt_speller(), and
1492 backup_lines(). (DLR)
1493 - Reorder some functions for consistency. (DLR)
1494 - Rename variable open_files openfile, for consistency. (DLR)
1495 - Remove renumber()'s dependency on the main filestruct.
1496 Changes to renumber(); removal of renumber_all(). (DLR)
1497 - Restructure things so that every file has its own
1498 openfilestruct, and so that the values in it are used directly
1499 instead of being periodically synced up with the globals.
1500 Accordingly, remove the globals. Changes to pretty much
1501 every function. Rename add_open_file() make_new_buffer(),
1502 rename load_buffer() open_buffer(), rename load_open_file()
1503 display_buffer(), rename open_prevnext_file()
1504 switch_to_prevnext_buffer(), rename open_prevfile_void()
1505 switch_to_prev_buffer(), rename open_nextfile_void()
1506 switch_to_next_buffer(), rename write_marked()
1507 write_marked_file(), remove load_file(), rename cancel_fork()
1508 cancel_command(), rename open_pipe() execute_command(), remove
1509 execute_command(), rename resize_variables(), rename
1510 global_init() window_size_init(), rename get_buffer()
1511 get_key_buffer(), and rename get_buffer_len()
1512 get_key_buffer_len(). (DLR)
1513 - Replace all mvwaddstr(hblank) calls with a new function that
1514 does the same thing without the need for hblank. New function
1515 blank_line(); changes to do_browser(), blank_titlebar(),
1516 blank_topbar(), blank_edit(), blank_statusbar(),
1517 blank_bottombars(), update_line(), and edit_refresh(). (DLR)
1518 - Make the static pid variable used by execute_command() and
1519 cancel_command() a pid_t instead of an int, for consistency.
1521 - Consistently make the flags global and any variables used to
1522 hold it longs. (DLR)
1523 - Make edit_scroll() sophisticated enough to keep track of
1524 current and current_x, update the lines before and after the
1525 scrolled region, and properly scroll more than editwinrows
1526 lines; and change the movement functions that use
1527 edit_scroll() to (a) set current and current_x before calling
1528 it, and (b) no longer call edit_redraw() afterward, as it's
1529 now unnecessary. These changes eliminate redundant screen
1530 updates when the mark is on, since the mark display depends on
1531 current and current_x. Also change edit_redraw() to use
1532 edit_scroll() instead of edit_refresh() when one of its two
1533 reference lines is offscreen. Changes to edit_scroll(),
1534 do_page_up(), do_page_down(), do_up(), and do_down(). (DLR)
1535 - Consistently make the fg and bg colortype struct entries and
1536 any variables used to hold them shorts. Changes to
1537 do_colorinit() (renamed color_init()), color_to_int() (renamed
1538 color_to_short()), and parse_colors(). (DLR)
1539 - Change color handling to save only the extension and color
1540 regex strings constantly, and to actually compile them on an
1541 as-needed basis. Also, make a color syntax specified on the
1542 command line override the syntax associated with the current
1543 file extension, add a "default" syntax that takes no
1544 extensions for those files that don't match any other
1545 syntax's extensions, and add a "none" syntax that's the same
1546 as having no syntax at all. Changes to update_color(),
1547 thanks_for_all_the_fish(), nregcomp(), parse_syntax(), and
1548 parse_colors(). (Brand Huntsman and DLR)
1549 - Various other color fixes. Handle unspecified foreground
1550 colors properly, treat syntax names case sensitively, flag
1551 duplicate syntax names as errors, don't automatically
1552 reinitialize the displayed colors every time we update the
1553 current buffer's colors (since the buffer may not be displayed
1554 immediately), don't bother doing complete refreshes of the
1555 screen when color support is enabled if there's no regex
1556 associated with the current file, and rename variable
1557 exttype->val to exttype->ext, for consistency. Changes to
1558 do_colorinit() (renamed color_init()), update_color() (renamed
1559 color_update()), write_file(), do_input(), do_output(), and
1560 parse_syntax(). (DLR)
1561 - Simplify get_totals() to only get the total number of
1562 characters, and eliminate dependence on its old ability to get
1563 the total number of lines by renumber()ing when necessary and
1564 using the number of the last line of a filestruct. Changes to
1565 read_file(), move_to_filestruct(), copy_from_filestruct(),
1566 do_justify(), get_totals() (renamed get_totsize()), and
1567 do_cursorpos(). (DLR)
1568 - Change the NANO_WIDE #define to ENABLE_UTF8, as the latter is
1570 - Minor history code fixes: Make sure that the current position
1571 in the history list is properly set to the bottom if we cancel
1572 out of the prompt, and that magichistory is properly updated
1573 when we change it and then move up. New function
1574 history_reset(); changes to nanogetstr(). (DLR)
1575 - Various character-handling cleanups. If we get an invalid
1576 multibyte sequence, treat it as Unicode FFFD (Replacement
1577 Character), unless we're searching for a match to it. Also,
1578 remove unneeded variables and checks when parsing multibyte
1579 sequences. Changes to is_alnum_mbchar(), is_blank_mbchar(),
1580 is_cntrl_mbchar(), is_punct_mbchar(), control_mbrep(),
1581 mbwidth(), make_mbchar(), parse_mbchar(), mbstrncasecmp(),
1582 mbstrcasestr(), mbrevstrcasestr(), mbstrchr(), and
1583 display_string(). (DLR)
1584 - Move advanced text operations (command execution in a buffer,
1585 wrapping, spell checking, justifying, and word counting) to
1586 their own source file, and adjust related variables
1587 accordingly. New file text.c; changes to cancel_command(),
1588 execute_command(), do_backspace(), do_delete(), do_tab(),
1589 do_enter(), do_mark(), wrap_reset(), do_wrap(),
1590 do_int_spell_fix(), do_int_speller(), do_alt_speller(),
1591 do_spell(), break_line(), indent_length(), justify_format(),
1592 quote_length(), quotes_match(), indents_match(), begpar(),
1593 inpar(), backup_lines(), find_paragraph(), do_justify(),
1594 do_justify_void(), do_full_justify(), and do_word_count() (all
1595 moved to text.c). (DLR)
1596 - Since the total number of lines in a file is the same as the
1597 number of its last line when all its lines are numbered
1598 properly, use that in place of openfile->totlines, and
1599 eliminate references to openfile->totlines. Changes to
1600 initialize_buffer_text(), read_file(), move_to_filestruct(),
1601 copy_from_filestruct(), do_delete(), do_enter(), do_wrap(),
1602 do_justify(), do_alt_speller(), do_wordlinechar_count(),
1603 new_magicline(), remove_magicline(), and do_cursorpos(). (DLR)
1604 - Various fill-related cleanups. Move check_die_too_small() and
1605 window_size_init()'s code into window_init(), as they really
1606 belong there, remove associated separate calls to them, make
1607 sure window_init() is always called at the same time when
1608 redrawing the screen, and turn the keypad on in topwin in case
1609 we ever read input from it. Changes to window_init(), main(),
1610 and do_alt_speller(); removal of check_die_too_small() and
1611 window_size_init(). (DLR)
1612 - Remove still more redundant screen updates. Change all
1613 wrefresh() calls to wnoutrefresh() calls, except for those in
1614 total_update() and do_credits(); call doupdate() just before
1615 using blocking input, since nano spends the most time using
1616 it, for blocking input; and only do constant sursor position
1617 display if we're just about to use blocking input. Changes to
1618 input_tab(), do_browser(), do_output(), main(),
1619 get_key_buffer(), check_statusblank(), nanogetstr(),
1620 titlebar(), statusbar(), bottombars(), edit_refresh(),
1621 do_yesno(), and do_help(). (DLR)
1622 - Treat the Unicode characters D800-DFFF, FDD0-FDEF, and
1623 xxFFFE-xxFFFF, as invalid, since the C library's multibyte
1624 functions don't seem to. New function is_valid_unicode();
1625 changes to mbrep() and make_mbchar(). (DLR)
1626 - Store Unicode values in longs instead of ints, and cover the
1627 entire range of Unicode. Changes to make_mbchar(),
1628 is_valid_unicode(), parse_kbinput(), get_unicode_kbinput(),
1629 parse_verbatim_kbinput(), and faq.html. (DLR)
1630 - Readd the option to turn the keypad off by default from nano
1631 1.2.x, but rename the long option from --keypad to
1632 --rebindkeypad, clarify its description on the command line,
1633 and add an updated FAQ entry about its use. Changes to
1634 window_init(), usage(), main(), get_verbatim_kbinput(),
1635 nanorc.sample, nano.1, nanorc.5, nano.texi, and faq.html.
1637 - Add new -W/--wordbounds command line option, and new
1638 "wordbounds" rcfile option, to control whether
1639 the word movement functions treat punctuation characters as
1640 part of a word. Changes to do_next_word_void(),
1641 do_prev_word_void(), usage(), main(), nano.1, nanorc.5,
1642 nano.texi, and nanorc.sample. (DLR, suggested by Mike
1644 - Update email address. Changes to faq.html and AUTHORS. (DLR)
1645 - Remove do_(left|right)()'s ability to optionally not update
1646 the current line, as this was only used in do_backspace(), and
1647 it didn't always update the screen properly. Changes to
1648 shortcut_init(), do_left(), do_right(), and do_backspace();
1649 removal of do_left_void() and do_right_void(). (DLR; problem
1650 found by Mike Frysinger)
1652 - Remove unneeded fcntl.h include. (DLR)
1654 control_rep(), control_mbrep()
1655 - Assert that the multibyte character passed in is a control
1656 character if it's valid. (DLR)
1657 - If crep is an invalid multibyte sequence, copy Unicode 0xFFFD
1658 (Replacement Character) into it using strncpy() instead of
1659 assigning the former to it. This avoids segfaults when freeing
1660 crep later, since it's supposed to be dynamically allocated.
1663 - New function, the equivalent of control_mbrep() for non-control
1666 - Remove now-unneeded bad_chr parameter. (DLR)
1668 - Don't count matches between valid and invalid multibyte
1669 sequences anymore, for consistency. (DLR)
1672 - Assert that filename isn't NULL, and don't do anything special
1673 if it's blank, as the the former case shouldn't occur, and the
1674 latter case is now handled elsewhere. (DLR)
1675 write_file(), write_marked_file(), do_writeout()
1676 - Make append an append_type enum instead of an int. (DLR)
1678 - Make columns an int instead of a size_t, since it's limited by
1682 - Simplify wording of nano_gotoline_msg. (Jordi and Ken Tyler)
1683 - Clarify wording of nano_wordcount_msg, as it will only go
1684 through the marked portions of the file if the mark is on.
1687 do_first_line(), do_last_line()
1688 - Simplify by only using edit_redraw(), and also make them call
1689 check_statusblank(). (DLR)
1690 do_page_up(), do_page_down()
1691 - If there's less than a page of text onscreen, just call
1692 do_(first|last)_line(). (DLR)
1693 do_para_begin(), do_para_begin_void(), do_para_end(),
1694 do_para_end_void(), do_next_word(), do_next_word_void(),
1695 do_prev_word(), do_prev_word_void()
1696 - Move here from nano.c, as they're movement functions, and also
1697 make them call check_statusblank().
1699 move_to_filestruct()
1700 - Fix problem where edittop wouldn't be reset properly if it was
1701 inside the text moved to another filestruct. (DLR)
1702 copy_from_filestruct()
1703 - Miscellaneous cleanups. (DLR)
1705 - Properly mention the support for "[+LINE,COLUMN]" on the
1706 command line when HAVE_GETOPT_LONG isn't defined. (DLR)
1707 - Remove unneeded translation of "--quickblank". (DLR)
1709 - If constant cursor position display is on, make sure the
1710 cursor position is displayed properly when we finish. (DLR)
1712 - Rework to be more like do_prev_word(), to avoid a potential
1713 problem if we start at the end of a line. (DLR)
1715 - Avoid redundant screen updates by using edit_redraw() instead
1716 of edit_refresh(), and remove now-erroneous code that disables
1717 setting the mark while in view mode. (DLR)
1719 - When adding a character, just add its length in bytes to
1720 current_x instead of calling do_right(), and set placewewant
1723 - If we can't invoke the spell checker, use sprintf() instead of
1724 snprintf() to write the error string we return, as the one
1725 formatted value is a simple string, and so altspell_error will
1726 always be long enough to hold it. Also remove unnecessary
1727 initialization of altspell_error, refactor so that msglen is
1728 no longer needed, and make the error message more similar to
1729 what the internal spell checker returns under the same
1730 circumstances. (DLR)
1731 - Block any pending SIGWINCHes while the alternate spell checker
1732 is running, so that it can handle them, and unblock them once
1733 it's finished and we've loaded the spell-checked file back in.
1735 - Use doupdate() to reenter curses mode instead of refresh().
1738 - When displaying an error message from do_(int|alt)_speller(),
1739 don't display the error message corresponding to errno if
1740 errno is zero. (David Benbennick)
1742 - If constant cursor position display is on, make sure the
1743 cursor position is displayed properly when we finish. (DLR)
1745 - Use doupdate() to reenter curses mode instead of refresh().
1747 allow_pending_sigwinch()
1748 - Simplify by using the "?" operator instead of an if clause.
1751 - When opening files with "+LINE,COLUMN" arguments on the
1752 command line, don't update the screen when moving to their
1753 specified lines and columns. (DLR)
1754 - Rename variable fill_flag_used to fill_used, for consistency.
1757 - Since we only use vsnprintf() now, remove the #ifdef block for
1758 HAVE_SNPRINTF. (DLR)
1759 - Remove TOP from the topmidnone enum, and rename the latter
1761 - Move stdlib.h, dirent.h, regex.h, and assert.h includes here,
1762 as every source file needs them. (DLR)
1763 - Rename the updown enum scroll_dir and the centernone enum
1764 update_type for clarity, and add an append_type enum. (DLR)
1765 - If we don't have regex.h and hence regex support, disable
1766 color support, as it depends on the use of regexes. (DLR)
1769 - Return TRUE when the compilation succeeds and FALSE otherwise,
1770 instead of the other way around. (DLR)
1773 - Don't blank out last_replace anymore when we get a new string,
1774 as it'll be blanked out in do_replace(). Also, consolidate
1775 the cases for blank and new search strings, as they now differ
1776 only in which string they pass to regexp_init(). (DLR)
1778 - Move to utils.c, as it's really a utility function in the same
1779 vein as regexp_bol_or_eol(). (DLR)
1781 - Remove unnecessary update of placewewant. (DLR)
1783 - Blank out last_replace properly again just before displaying
1784 the "Replace" prompt. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
1785 - Remove unnecessary renumber(). (DLR)
1787 - Add parameter allow_update to control whether the screen is
1788 updated after moving. If it's TRUE, call edit_refresh() after
1789 edit_update(). (DLR)
1791 - Only include this function when DISABLE_SPELLER isn't defined,
1792 as the alternate spell checking code is now the only place
1793 where it's used. (DLR)
1795 - Add comments and minor cleanups. (DLR)
1797 - Make parameters const where possible. (DLR)
1799 - Don't renumber the history list starting after the entry we
1800 found if the entry we found is at the bottom of the list.
1801 (DLR, found by Simon Strandman)
1802 get_history_completion()
1803 - Make parameters const where possible. (DLR)
1806 - Make sure that we insert the correct number of spaces if the
1807 TABS_TO_SPACES flag is set and placewewant is greater than the
1808 current column position of the cursor. (DLR)
1810 - Don't update the edit window until we set placewewant. (DLR)
1812 - Fix a problem where a line could be broken in the middle of a
1813 multibyte character. (DLR)
1815 - Rename to do_wordlinechar_count(), and expand to also count
1816 the number of lines and characters in the file or selection,
1820 - Only save all open buffers and hang up when a blocking
1821 wgetch() returns ERR and errno is set to EIO (input/output
1822 error). If errno is set to something else, recover properly.
1823 This fixes problems with nano's erroneously hanging up while
1824 e.g. resizing or unsuspending in a chroot. (DLR, found by Mike
1826 get_escape_seq_kbinput()
1827 - Fix typo preventing the VT100/VT220/VT320/xterm/rxvt escape
1828 sequence for ',' on the numeric keypad with NumLock off from
1829 being interpreted properly. (DLR)
1831 - Multiply the entered digits by hexadecimal numbers instead of
1832 decimal numbers for clarity, rename to get_unicode_kbinput(),
1833 and rename variables word and word_digits to uni and
1835 parse_verbatim_kbinput()
1836 - Rename variables word_mb and word_mb_len to uni_mb and
1839 - Instead of using parse_mbchar()'s bad_chr parameter, use
1840 mbrep() to get the representation of a bad character. (DLR)
1841 - If column is less than start_col and the character's a tab,
1842 which can be possible if there are enough tabs and the
1843 terminal size is sufficiently large, don't try to display it
1844 using control_mbrep(). (DLR, found by Duncan Geoffry Doyle)
1845 - Really avoid a memory corruption problem by allocating enough
1846 space for COLS characters. (DLR)
1847 edit_redraw(), edit_refresh()
1848 - Clean up and simplify. (DLR)
1850 - Since we no longer use TOP, remove references to it. Also,
1851 don't call edit_refresh() anymore; it will call us. (DLR)
1852 do_statusbar_next_word()
1853 - Rework to be more like do_statusbar_prev_word(), to avoid a
1854 potential problem if we start at the end of a line. (DLR)
1855 do_statusbar_input()
1856 - Call do_statusbar_mouse() instead of do_mouse(). (DLR)
1857 do_statusbar_output()
1858 - When adding a character, just add its length in bytes to
1859 statusbar_x instead of calling do_statusbar_right(). (DLR)
1861 - Rework to display only one space after the version number, so
1862 that there's more room for other things, and to not display
1863 the status when we're in the file browser, since Pico doesn't.
1866 - Various cleanups. Turn on the MORE_SPACE and NO_HELP flags
1867 before showing the credits, so that they use as much of the
1868 screen as possible, and set the flags back to their original
1869 values afterward. Also, call wscrl(1) instead of scroll(),
1870 only call scrollok() just before and after we scroll, and
1871 tweak where screen updates occur so that messages are properly
1872 displayed when they first scroll onto the bottom line of the
1874 - Add Mike Frysinger to credits. (DLR)
1876 - Since we only use vsnprintf() now, remove the tests for
1878 - Change the description of "sufficient wide character support"
1879 to "sufficient UTF-8 support", as the latter is clearer. (DLR)
1880 - Update the description of the ENABLE_COLOR option to mention
1881 the need for regex.h. (DLR)
1883 - Update section 4.10 to mention that pasting from the X
1884 clipboard via the middle mouse button also works when the
1885 Shift key is used. (DLR)
1886 - doc/nanorc.sample:
1887 - Add regexes for Bourne shell scripts. (Mike Frysinger, minor
1889 - Explain how the "none" and "default" syntaxes work. (DLR)
1890 - Tweaks and additions to the "c-file" regexes: handle #defined
1891 constants more accurately and use a brighter color for them,
1892 support C99 standard integer types, support more GCC builtins,
1893 and color code flow control statements differently. (Mike
1894 Frysinger) DLR: Slightly simplify the integer types regex.
1895 - Tweak one "TeX" regex to use the "icolor" directive. (DLR)
1897 - Explain how the "none" and "default" syntaxes work. (DLR)
1898 - doc/man/fr/nano.1, doc/man/fr/nanorc.5:
1899 - Updated translation by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
1901 - Add text.c to nano_SOURCES. (DLR)
1903 - Add Mike Frysinger. (DLR)
1905 - Since we only use vsnprintf() now, remove the mention of
1908 - Add Bulgarian and Dutch translators.
1910 GNU nano 1.3.8 - 2005.06.30
1912 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)
1913 - Various #include fixes. Since proto.h includes nano.h, only
1914 include the former in source files. Also add an #include
1915 guard to proto.h, and make the config.h #include in nano.h
1916 match the config.h #includes everywhere else. (DLR)
1917 - Change all hardcoded instances of 128 bytes to MAX_BUF_SIZE,
1918 and #define MAX_BUF_SIZE as 128 in nano.h. (DLR)
1919 - Display the key to go to the previous strings in the
1920 search/replace history as "^P" instead of "Up". This makes
1921 mouse clicks work properly on it. Changes to shortcut_init(),
1922 help_init(), nanogetstr(), and do_statusbar_input(). (DLR)
1923 - Update the Free Software Foundation's mailing address in
1924 various comments. (DLR)
1925 - Add the ability to open a file on a specified column as well
1926 as a specified line, by allowing an argument of the form
1927 +LINE,COLUMN. New function parse_line_column(); changes to
1928 shortcut_init(), main(), do_gotoline() (renamed
1929 do_gotolinecolumn()), do_gotoline_void() (renamed
1930 do_gotolinecolumn_void()), nano.1, and nano.texi. (DLR,
1931 suggested by PFTank)
1932 - Overhaul the history code to work more consistently, and clean
1933 up various parts of it. New function history_has_changed();
1934 changes to load_history(), writehist(),
1935 thanks_for_all_the_fish(), history_init(), find_node()
1936 (renamed find_history()), update_history(),
1937 get_history_older(), get_history_newer(),
1938 get_history_completion(), do_search(), do_replace(),
1939 nanogetstr(), and statusq(); removal of remove_node() and
1940 insert_node(). (DLR)
1941 - Remove all instances of charcpy() and replace them with
1942 strncpy(), since there's no way to be sure that a charcpy()ed
1943 string will always be properly null-terminated, and strcpy()'s
1944 null termination is the only difference between it and
1946 - When using a backup directory, make sure all the filenames
1947 written are unique by using get_next_filename() when
1948 necessary. Changes to get_next_filename(), write_file(),
1949 die(), usage(), nano.1, nanorc.5, nanorc.sample, and
1950 nano.texi. (DLR, suggested by James Collings)
1951 - Rework the file-writing routines so that they can work
1952 properly with already-opened files, such as the
1953 mkstemp()-created files used by the spell-checking code.
1954 Changes to safe_tempnam() (renamed safe_tempfile()),
1955 write_file(), write_marked(), die(), do_spell(), and
1957 - Remove the -R/--regexp command line option and enable the
1958 toggle at the search prompt in tiny mode, as it already
1959 allows the prepend and append toggles at the search prompt.
1960 For consistency, rename TOGGLE_REGEXP_KEY to NANO_REGEXP_KEY,
1961 and move it out of the toggles block to where NANO_PREPEND_KEY
1962 and NANO_APPEND_KEY are. Also, change the short command line
1963 option for --restricted from -Z to -R. Changes to
1964 shortcut_init(), usage(), main(), search_init(), nano.1,
1965 nano.texi, etc. (DLR)
1966 - Various cleanups and improvements in chars.c. Remove some
1967 unnecessary w?ctype wrappers and variables; change the wctype
1968 wrappers to take wint_t instead of wchar_t to match the
1969 functions they wrap; rename some functions for consistency;
1970 add functions to detect blank characters in a string, for use
1971 in rcfile option parsing; and don't count matches between
1972 valid and invalid multibyte sequences anymore, as it causes
1973 problems when doing a replace. New functions
1974 is_valid_mbstring(), has_blank_chars(), and
1975 has_blank_mbchars(); changes to is_alnum_mbchar(),
1976 is_blank_char() (renamed nisblank()), is_blank_mbchar(),
1977 is_blank_wchar() (renamed niswblank()), is_cntrl_wchar(),
1978 control_rep(), control_mbrep(), make_mbstring() (renamed
1979 make_valid_mbstring()), mbstrncasecmp(), mbstrcasestr(),
1980 mbrevstrcasestr(), etc.; removal of is_alnum_char() and
1981 is_alnum_wchar(). (DLR)
1982 - Implement word count via Meta-D at the main window. Note that
1983 this is disabled when NANO_SMALL is defined. Also, convert
1984 all word detection functions to use the same wrapper function
1985 for ease of maintenance, and make them return more
1986 information. New functions is_punct_mbchar(),
1987 is_word_mbchar(), do_next_word_void(), do_prev_word_void(),
1988 and do_word_count(); changes to shortcut_init(),
1989 do_next_word(), do_prev_word(), is_whole_word(),
1990 do_statusbar_next_word(), and do_statusbar_prev_word(). (DLR)
1991 - Fix #ifdefs so that nano compiles with NANO_SMALL defined and
1992 DISABLE_TABCOMP undefined. Changes to revstrstr() and
1993 free_charptrarray() (renamed free_chararray()). (DLR)
1994 - Change the wctype wrappers to take wchar_t's again, as they
1995 still work the same way with them. This also fixes
1996 compilation on Mac OS X 10.4.1, which doesn't seem to define a
1997 wint_t type. (DLR, found by Emily Jackson)
1998 - Add the ability to convert typed tabs to spaces using
1999 the -E/--tabstospaces command line options, the "tabstospaces"
2000 rcfile option, and the toggle Meta-Q (since QBasic did this by
2001 default :)). Note that this doesn't affect tabs entered using
2002 verbatim input, and that it's disabled when NANO_SMALL is
2003 defined. Also, change the short command line option for
2004 --backupdir from -E to -C. Changes to toggle_init(), usage(),
2005 do_tab(), main(), nanorc.sample, nano.1, nanorc.5, and
2006 nano.texi. (DLR, suggested by many people)
2007 - Change the CONSTUPDATE, REVERSE_SEARCH, and SMOOTHSCROLL flags
2008 to the CONST_UPDATE, BACKWARDS_SEARCH, and SMOOTH_SCROLL
2009 flags, respectively. (DLR)
2010 - Change the SMOOTHSCROLL flag to the SMOOTH_SCROLL flag. (DLR)
2011 - Change the NO_UTF8 flag to the USE_UTF8 flag, and reverse its
2013 - Add rcfile options "casesensitive" and "backwards", to do
2014 case sensitive and backwards searches by default. Changes to
2015 nanorc.sample and nanorc.5. (DLR)
2016 - Since the DISABLE_CURPOS flag is only used in winio.c, reduce
2017 it to a static bool there. Changes to statusbar() and
2018 disable_cursorpos(). (DLR)
2019 - Add -U/--quickblank option and a "quickblank" rcfile option to
2020 blank the statusbar after 1 keystroke instead of 25. Note
2021 that this obviously has no effect when constant cursor
2022 position display is turned on, and that this is disabled when
2023 NANO_SMALL is defined. Changes to usage(), main(),
2024 statusbar(), nanorc.sample, nano.1, and nanorc.5. (DLR,
2025 suggested by CHAO Wei-Lun)
2026 - Add support for case insensitive expression matching when
2027 using color syntax highlighting, via the "icolor" directive,
2028 and add it to those regexes that can use it. Changes to
2029 parse_colors(), parse_rcfile(), nanorc.sample, and nanorc.5.
2030 (Brand Huntsman, minor tweaks by DLR)
2031 - Add various type changes to avoid problems on systems where
2032 int and ssize_t are different sizes. Make filestruct->lineno
2033 a ssize_t (so that we can avoid negative line numbers at the
2034 "Go To Line" prompt), current_y a ssize_t (in order to hold
2035 the maximum difference between two filestruct->lineno's),
2036 totlines a size_t, and change related variables to match.
2037 (DLR, initial problem with parse_line_column() found by Mike
2039 - Rework the credits handling to display Florian König's name
2040 properly whether we're in a UTF-8 locale or not, and without
2041 requiring a massive function that we only use once. Changes
2042 to do_credits(); removal of make_valid_mbstring(). (DLR)
2045 - Change erroneous ENABLE_EXTRA #ifdef to NANO_EXTRA to fix a
2046 compilation problem when --enable-nanorc isn't used and
2047 --enable-extra is. (DLR)
2050 - Use mbstrcasecmp() instead of strcasecmp(), so that UTF-8
2051 color syntax names are properly detected. (DLR)
2054 - Set placewewant properly after cutting a line, to avoid a
2055 problem where the screen won't be updated if (a) we're not on

2067 prepended to the filename. (DLR)
2069 - Set i to 0 when we get a filename via the file browser, so
2070 that it's read in properly when we exit the file browser.
2072 open_prevnext_file()
2073 - Move up a misplaced assert. (DLR)
2074 - Rename variable next to next_file, to avoid confusion. (DLR)
2076 - Since lineswritten is a size_t, print its value as an unsigned
2077 long instead of an unsigned int. (DLR)
2078 - Declare the size_t i only in the loop where it's used. (DLR)
2080 - Use mbstrcasecmp() instead of strcasecmp(), so that UTF-8
2081 filenames are sorted properly. (DLR)
2082 cwd_tab_completion(), browser_init()
2083 - Rename variable next to nextdir to avoid confusion. (DLR)
2085 - Since list is a bool, set it to FALSE instead of 0. (DLR)

2087 with a string that contains only part of a multibyte
2088 character during tab completion. (DLR)

2116 - Reorder the toggles to put more toggles with similar functions
2118 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
2119 - Remove free_toggles() and move its code here verbatim, as it's
2120 only called here anyway. (David Benbennick)
2121 - Fix the code to free all open file buffers to work properly
2122 with the previous overhaul of the multibuffer code instead of
2123 going into an infinite loop. (David Benbennick)
2124 - Add additional checks for variables' not being NULL before we
2125 try to free them, to avoid assertion failures. (DLR)
2128 - Rename variable ret to retval for consistency. (DLR)
2129 - Tweak the message displayed when a backup file can't be
2130 written, so as to not duplicate a translated string. (DLR)
2131 - If the current filestruct's been partitioned, unpartition it
2132 before saving the associated file. (DLR)
2134 - Use charset() instead of memset() to initialize hblank. (DLR)
2136 - Rename variable prev to copy to avoid confusion. (DLR)
2138 - If desc should be empty, allow it to be NULL instead of
2139 "", since the latter is not necessarily translated as "".

2143 erroneously translated twice. (DLR)
2144 - Remove inaccurate default listed for -Q/--quotestr. (DLR)

2150 - Remove unneeded variable kbinput. (DLR)
2152 - Display highlighted misspelled words using display_string(),
2153 as do_replace_loop() does. (DLR)
2155 - Replace a set_modified() with SET(MODIFIED) to avoid an
2156 unnecessary update, and remove an unneeded clearok(FALSE).
2158 - Move the spell checking error handling block down and refactor
2159 it so that we go back into curses mode, reinitialize the
2160 terminal, turn the cursor back on, and turn the mark back on
2161 if necessary before returning the error message. (DLR)
2163 - If the spell-checker printed any error messages onscreen, call
2164 total_refresh() to make sure they're cleared off. (DLR, found

2183 processing, and rename to disable_extended_io(). (DLR)
2184 disable_flow_control(), enable_flow_control()

2199 that it isn't NULL at the beginning of the function. (DLR)
2201 - Properly parse a background color without a foreground color.
2203 - Properly generate an error if we get a color directive without
2204 a regex string. (DLR)
2206 - Properly generate an error if we get an invalid multibyte
2207 string for an option, instead of working around it. (DLR)
2208 - Use has_blank_mbchars() to check for blank characters in the
2209 "punct" and "brackets" options, and clarify the error message
2210 displayed when we find blank characters. (DLR)
2213 - Properly show an error message if we try to go to line 0,
2214 since the first line in the file is 1. (DLR)

2223 - Make new_line_size and search_match_count size_t's, for
2226 - When moving to the next match, update the screen using
2227 edit_refresh() instead of edit_redraw(), as the latter won't
2228 work properly when we've replaced one or more instances of a
2229 string in copy and haven't yet updated current->data to match
2232 - Miscellaneous cleanups: rename variables for consistency, and
2233 save the search direction and regexp setting in two bools
2234 instead of one flags variable. (DLR)
2237 - Use a size_t instead of an int, and rename to digits(). (DLR)

2260 - Rename variables def and ret to curranswer and retval to avoid
2262 - Call wnoutrefresh(bottomwin) after getting an answer and
2263 blanking out the statusbar, to make sure that the blanking is
2264 done. This fixes a problem where the statusbar is not
2265 properly blanked after using the "Go To Line" prompt with the
2266 NO_HELP flag set. (DLR)
2268 - Use actual_x() to calculate the number of characters VERMSG
2269 takes up, in case it's UTF-8. (DLR)
2271 - Properly display the value of totsize as unsigned. (DLR)
2272 - If constant is TRUE, only display the cursor position when
2273 disable_cursorpos is FALSE. Don't refuse to display it when
2274 the cursor position hasn't changed, as that doesn't always
2275 keep it properly updated. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)

2283 - Make do_refresh a bool instead of an int. (DLR)
2285 - Allow refreshing the screen via Ctrl-L, as Pico does. (DLR)
2286 - Add a missing assert, and use actual_x() to calculate the
2287 number of characters buf takes up, in case it's UTF-8. (DLR)

2289 isn't erroneously put in the edit window while we wait for an
2291 - Call wnoutrefresh(edit) to make sure that the edit window is
2292 refreshed before we get input, as statusq() does. (DLR)
2294 - Simplify to just call wrefresh() on curscr, which updates the
2295 entire screen in one function call without moving the cursor
2296 from the window it's currently in. (DLR)
2297 - When using slang, use SLsmg_touch_screen() and SLsmg_refresh()
2298 to update the screen, as slang doesn't define curscr. (DLR)
2299 do_replace_highlight()
2300 - Use waddch() instead of waddstr() to display a space when we
2301 have a zero-length regex. (DLR)
2302 - Rename variable highlight_flag to highlight, for consistency.
2305 - Save the keystroke that breaks us out of the credits (if any)
2306 and put it back so that it isn't lost. This is especially
2307 needed if the keystroke is part of a multibyte character.
2310 - Clarify and consolidate the descriptions of --fill and

2333 NANO_EXTRA, instead of defining both it and
2334 ENABLE_MULTIBUFFER. (DLR)

2356 - In the preprocessor directives regex string in the "c-file"
2357 regexes, cover more whitespace characters than just " " by
2358 using "[[:space:]]" instead. (Mike Frysinger) DLR: Extend
2359 this to other regex strings whenever possible.
2360 - Move some overly long split-up regex strings that cover
2361 similar areas onto the same line. (DLR)
2362 - Add GCC builtins to the "c-file" regexes. (Mike Frysinger)
2363 - Simplify the file extension regex for groff. (DLR)

2368 order, and that the lines are wrapped at 72 characters. (DLR)
2369 - doc/man/fr/Makefile.am:

2375 GNU nano 1.3.7 - 2005.04.10
2377 - Miscellaneous comment fixes. (DLR)

2379 always turned on. Changes to do_alt_speller(),
2380 handle_sigwinch(), and main(). (DLR)
2381 - Make sure that all references to cut-to-end are left out when
2382 NANO_SMALL is defined. Changes to cut_to_eol(),
2383 do_cut_text(), and do_statusbar_cut_text(). (DLR)

2394 File" prompt would always result in the current answer's being
2395 used as the filename afterward. (DLR)
2397 - Rework handling of the results of getcwd() in order to avoid
2398 segfaults if they fail, and to remove uses of the nonportable
2399 GNU extension where passing a size of 0 will get a string as
2400 long as we need. (DLR)

2407 long as we need. (DLR)
2410 - When calculating allocsize, take multibyte characters into
2411 account, and keep the column number limits consistent. (DLR)
2412 - Break htx up into three chunks, in case the string is too long
2413 for the compiler to handle (e.g. an ISO C89 compiler that can
2414 only handle up to 509 characters). (DLR)
2415 - Minor wording fixes. (DLR)
2417 - Don't include longflag if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG isn't defined.
2418 Rename this function to print1opt_full(), leave out the
2419 longflag parameter if HAVE_GETOPT_LONG isn't defined, and make
2420 print1opt() a macro for print1opt_full() that does that
2421 without the need for a lot of extra #ifdefs. (David
2422 Benbennick) DLR: Rename print1opt_f() to print1opt_full().

2424 compatibility so that they display more neatly when
2425 HAVE_GETOPT_LONG isn't defined. (DLR)

2434 afterwards, just break the line after the space, as it's more
2437 - Change 0 to NULL in the option struct where needed. (David
2440 - Define PATH_MAX as 4096 if it isn't defined, as passing a size
2441 of 0 to get a string as long as we need is a nonportable GNU
2442 extension, and hence it won't work on non-GNU systems that
2443 don't define PATH_MAX. (DLR)

2461 number of bytes when using multibyte characters, so that
2462 multibyte strings aren't prematurely cut off. (DLR, found by

2472 the --enable-utf8 and --disable-utf8 options. (Mike
2473 Frysinger) DLR: Extend these options to work with slang as
2474 well as curses, consolidate the warning and error messages
2475 dealing with UTF-8 support as much as possible, and add a few
2476 minor consistency fixes.

2485 regexes of no more than 256 bytes, as POSIX-compliant regexp
2486 implementations can reject regexes of over 256 bytes. (DLR)

2494 GNU nano 1.3.6 - 2005.03.20
2496 - More int -> bool conversions. (DLR and David Benbennick)
2497 - Overhaul the cutting and uncutting routines to use the
2498 partitioning code, as it greatly simplifies how they work.
2499 New functions move_to_filestruct(), copy_from_filestruct(),
2500 cut_line(), cut_marked(), and cut_to_eol(); changes to
2501 add_to_cutbuffer(), do_cut_text(), do_uncut_text(), etc.;
2502 removal of functions get_cutbottom(), add_to_cutbuffer(), and
2503 cut_marked_segment(). (DLR)
2504 - Overhaul the justify-related routines to back up and restore
2505 unjustified text to use the partitioning code, as it greatly
2506 simplifies how they work, and to store such text in its own
2507 buffer rather than the cutbuffer. Changes to backup_lines(),
2508 do_justify(), etc. (DLR)
2509 - Overhaul the multibuffer routines to increase efficiency, most
2510 importantly making them use a doubly linked list for the open
2511 files so that switching between them is no longer O(N), and
2512 only including free_openfilestruct() when --enable-debug is
2513 used. Also use some of the same efficiency tweaks when
2514 dealing with filestruct nodes. New function
2515 open_prevnext_file(); changes to make_new_opennode(),
2516 splice_opennode(), unlink_opennode(), delete_opennode(),
2517 free_openfilestruct(), add_open_file(), load_open_file(),
2518 close_open_file(), shortcut_init(), die(), make_new_node(),

2526 people using single-byte encodings such as KOI8-R can type
2527 properly again. (DLR, found by Arthur Ivanov)
2528 - Massively overhaul the input and output routines to support
2529 buffered input and output, the first steps toward
2530 wide/multibyte character input and output, and verbatim input
2531 of double-byte Unicode characters instead of single-byte ASCII
2532 characters. New functions is_byte(), get_buffer(),
2533 get_buffer_len(), buffer_to_keys(), unget_input(),
2534 get_input(), parse_kbinput(), and parse_verbatim_kbinput();
2535 new macro charcpy(); changes to do_char() (renamed to

2538 moved to nano.c), do_verbatim_input(), do_tab(), main(), and
2539 get_ascii_kbinput() (renamed to get_byte_kbinput()). The wide
2540 version of ncurses is required in order for wide/multibyte
2541 input and output to work properly. (DLR; buffered input/output

2549 titlebar(), statusbar(), onekey(), edit_add(),
2550 do_replace_highlight(), and do_credits(). (David Benbennick
2552 - Overhaul the high-level input routines for the statusbar to
2553 make them read the shortcut lists for functions instead of
2554 manually running them, to make nanogetstr() less complex, and
2555 to increase flexibility. Note that currshortcut is now used
2556 regardless of #ifdefs, and that cutting text at the statusbar
2557 now respects the CUT_TO_END flag. Changes to shortcut_init()
2558 and nanogetstr(); new functions do_statusbar_input(),
2559 do_statusbar_mouse(), do_statusbar_home(), do_statusbar_end(),
2560 do_statusbar_right(), do_statusbar_left(),

2562 do_statusbar_cut_text(), and do_statusbar_output(). (DLR)
2563 - Even more steps toward wide character/multibyte character
2564 support. Movement and cursor display at the statusbar prompt
2565 should now (mostly) work properly with a string containing
2566 multibyte characters, and text display of such strings should
2567 now (mostly) work properly as well. Changes to search_init(),
2568 nanoget_repaint(), do_statusbar_right(), do_statusbar_left(),
2569 do_statusbar_backspace(), and do_statusbar_delete(). (David
2571 - Implement cutting from the current position to the end of the
2572 file, using Ctrl-X from the search prompt and Meta-T from the
2573 edit window. New function do_cut_till_end(). Note that this
2574 is disabled when NANO_SMALL is defined. (DLR, based on ideas
2575 from a patch for Pico by Eduardo Chappa, suggested by Ryan
2576 Dlugosz and Paul Adams)

2579 keys_to_buffer(), unparse_kbinput(), and
2580 do_statusbar_verbatim_input(). (DLR)
2581 - Yet more steps toward full wide character/multibyte character
2582 support. Overhaul the functions that already have support for
2583 them to work with multibyte strings as much as possible, add
2584 support to a few more functions as well, and move multibyte
2585 character-specific functions to their own source file. New
2586 file chars.c; new functions is_alnum_char(),
2587 is_alnum_mbchar(), is_alnum_wchar(), is_blank_mbchar(),
2588 is_blank_wchar(), is_cntrl_mbchar(), is_cntrl_wchar(),
2589 control_mbrep(), control_wrep(), mbwidth(), mb_cur_max(),
2590 make_mbchar(), mbstrlen(), mbstrnlen(), mbstrcasecmp(),
2591 mbstrncasecmp(), mbstrcasestr(), and mbrevstrcasestr();
2592 changes to help_init(), do_wrap(), break_line(), is_byte()
2593 (moved to chars.c), is_blank_char() (moved to chars.c),
2594 is_cntrl_char() (moved to chars.c), nstricmp() (renamed
2595 nstrcasecmp() and moved to chars.c), nstrnicmp() (renamed
2596 nstrncasecmp() and moved to chars.c), nstristr() (renamed
2597 nstrcasestr() and moved to chars.c), revstrstr() (moved to
2598 chars.c), revstristr() (renamed revstrcasestr() and moved to
2599 chars.c), nstrnlen() (moved to chars.c), parse_char() (renamed
2600 parse_mbchar() and moved to chars.c), move_left() (renamed
2601 move_mbleft() and moved to chars.c), move_right() (renamed
2602 move_mbright() and moved to chars.c), do_home(),
2603 do_verbatim_input(), do_delete(), do_tab(), do_enter(),
2604 indent_length(), do_next_word(), do_prev_word(), do_wrap(),
2605 do_input(), do_output(), is_whole_word(), strstrwrapper(),
2606 get_buffer(), unget_input(), unget_kbinput(), get_input(),
2607 parse_kbinput(), unparse_kbinput(), parse_verbatim_kbinput(),
2608 do_statusbar_input(), do_statusbar_home(),
2609 do_statusbar_verbatim_kbinput(), do_statusbar_output(),
2610 do_help(), help_line_len(), and display_string(); removal of
2611 buffer_to_keys() and keys_to_buffer(). (DLR)
2612 - Add -O/--morespace command line option, plus a corresponding
2613 Meta-O toggle and a "morespace" rcfile option. When these are
2614 used, the normally-unused blank line below the titlebar will
2615 be treated as part of the edit window. New functions
2616 no_more_space() and blank_topbar(); changes to global_init(),
2617 window_init(), handle_sigwinch(), do_toggle(), do_mouse(),
2618 get_mouseinput(), etc. (DLR; suggested by Mike Frysinger,
2619 Rocco, and Robert Schultz)
2620 - Add support for moving to the next or previous word at the
2621 statusbar prompt. New functions do_statusbar_next_word() and
2622 do_statusbar_prev_word(); changes to do_statusbar_input().
2624 - Make resizing more flexible. We now can work with as few as
2625 one row, and with no limit on the number of columns (except of
2626 course the curses-imposed limit that it be greater than zero).
2627 New function resize_variables(); changes to die_too_small()
2628 (renamed check_die_too_small()), global_init(), window_init(),
2629 and handle_sigwinch(). (David Benbennick)
2630 - Use void instead of RETSIGTYPE, as signal handlers are
2631 supposed to return void anyway. Also, the value of RETSIGTYPE
2632 is sometimes misdetected as int, leading to compilation
2633 warnings or errors. Changes to cancel_fork(),
2634 handle_hupterm(), do_suspend(), and do_cont(). (David
2636 - Change flags to an unsigned long, and totsize to a size_t.
2638 - Store the number of multibyte characters instead of the number
2639 of single-byte characters in totsize, and use get_totals() to
2640 get the value of totsize in a few more places. Changes to
2641 read_line(), read_file(), do_delete(), do_input(),
2642 get_totals(), and do_cursorpos(). (DLR)
2643 - Overhaul the tab completion code, the file browser code, and
2644 related functions to increase efficiency and support multibyte
2645 characters. New function is_dir(); changes to
2646 get_full_path(), check_writable_directory(), safe_tempnam(),
2647 diralphasort(), username_tab_completion(),
2648 cwd_tab_completion(), input_tab(), tail(), striponedir(),
2649 browser_init(), do_browser(), and do_browse_from(); removal of
2650 append_slash_if_dir(), readable_dir(), and
2651 check_wildcard_match(). (David Benbennick) DLR: Move the
2652 routine to get the current user's home directory into the new
2653 function get_homedir(), and use it where necessary. Also add
2654 a few miscellaneous tweaks.
2655 - Overhaul the rcfile parsing code to make it simpler and more
2656 accurate, remove now-redundant checks from the color code,
2657 change the COLOR_SYNTAX toggle to the NO_COLOR_SYMTAX toggle,
2658 and improve various debugging messsages. Changes to
2659 set_colorpairs(), do_colorinit(), parse_next_word(),
2660 parse_argument(), colortoint(), parse_next_regex(),
2661 parse_syntax(), parse_colors(), parse_rcfile(), do_rcfile(),
2662 etc. (David Benbennick) DLR: Rename colortoint() to
2663 color_to_int(), and add a few miscellaneous tweaks.
2664 - Overhaul the paragraph-searching code to make it use the
2665 paragraph-searching utility functions when possible instead of
2666 duplicating code. Also overhaul the justify code to make it
2667 leave the right number of spaces at the ends of the lines of a
2668 paragraph, to make it support multibyte characters, and to
2669 make it simpler. Also, don't remove a space after a duplicate
2670 character in punct anymore, as it doesn't really make us more
2671 compatible with Pico. New functions mbstrchr(),
2672 do_para_begin_void(), and do_para_end_void(); changes to
2673 justify_format(), do_para_begin(), inpar(), do_para_end(),
2674 break_line(), do_para_search() (renamed find_paragraph()), and
2675 do_justify(); removal of breakable(). (DLR)
2676 - Still more steps toward full wide/multibyte character support.
2677 Make sure all rcfile arguments are valid multibyte strings,
2678 make whitespace display mode work with multibyte characters,
2679 and add a few related documentation updates. New function
2680 make_mbstring(); changes to make_mbchar(), make_mbstring(),
2681 main(), parse_rcfile(), display_string(), and do_help(). (DLR)
2684 - If keep_cutbuffer is FALSE, only blow away the text in the
2685 cutbuffer if the cutbuffer isn't empty. (DLR)
2687 - No longer duplicate Pico's adding an extra magicline to the
2688 file if uncutting leaves the cursor on the current one. This
2689 behavior appears to be a bug, as inserting a file in the same
2690 manner doesn't add an extra magicline. (DLR)
2693 - Remove unneeded NANO_SMALL #ifdef, so that it's included
2694 whenever its prototype is, and so it can compile when
2695 DISABLE_OPERATINGDIR isn't defined and NANO_SMALL is. (DLR)
2697 - Refresh the screen when Ctrl-L is pressed in the file browser,
2701 - Fix misplaced #endif keeping the "Full Justify" shortcut in
2702 the search shortcut list from being included when NANO_SMALL
2703 is defined but DISABLE_JUSTIFY isn't. (DLR)
2704 - Use NULL instead of 0 when a shortcut has no associated
2706 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
2707 - Free the justify buffer if it isn't empty. (DLR)
2710 - Clarify the text describing double-escape character input.
2711 Since ASCII is technically only seven bits wide, characters
2712 128-255 aren't ASCII. (DLR, suggested by Michael Piefel)
2714 - When we get the whitespace display toggle, update the titlebar
2715 as well as the edit window, in case the filename displayed on
2716 the titlebar contains spaces or tabs. (DLR)
2718 - If the justify buffer isn't empty, blow it away and don't
2719 display "UnJustify" in the shortcut list anymore. (DLR)
2723 - Make wrap_loc and word_back ssize_t's, to match fill. (DLR)
2725 - Fix compilation problem caused by its returning int when it
2726 should return ssize_t according to its prototype. (Jeremy
2729 - Make the #ifdef around it match that of its prototype to avoid
2730 compilation problems when compiling with --enable-tiny and
2731 without DISABLE_JUSTIFY's being defined. (DLR)
2733 - For consistency, preserve placewewant if we didn't unjustify
2734 instead of setting it to 0. (DLR)
2735 - When justifying the entire file, properly break out of the
2736 loop if we've found at least one paragraph, there are no more
2737 paragraphs after the current one, and the paragraph search
2738 left us on the magicline. This avoids a segfault. (DLR)
2740 - Add finished parameter, used to indicate when we run or try to
2741 run a function associated with a shortcut. (DLR)
2743 - Try to automatically detect whether UTF-8 support is needed by
2744 setting the NO_UTF8 flag if setlocale() returns a string that
2745 doesn't contain "UTF8" or "UTF-8", case insensitively. When
2746 using slang 2.x, enable UTF-8 support with SLutf8_enable().
2747 (DLR, string checks beyond case-sensitive "UTF-8" adapted from
2748 Debian's UTF-8 patch for slang)
2750 - Remove now-unneeded #defines for functions that now have
2751 multibyte equivalents. (DLR)
2752 - Remove now-unneeded MIN_EDITOR_COLS. (David Benbennick)
2755 - Remove redundant regexec #define, and move the regexec #undef
2758 - Rewrite to use ctype functions instead of checking directly
2759 for spaces and tabs. (DLR)
2760 revstrstr(), revstristr()
2761 - Add asserts. (DLR)
2764 - If we get ERR when using blocking input, it means that the
2765 input source that we were using is gone. In this case, call
2766 handle_hupterm(), so that nano dies gracefully instead of
2767 going into an infinite loop. (DLR, found by Jim Uhl)
2769 - Rename some variables for consistency, make space an int
2770 instead of a size_t, properly handle the case where the prefix
2771 length plus the path length is greater than the amount of
2772 space available, and fix a typo in an assert. (DLR)
2774 - Remove the wide character handling, as it didn't work properly
2775 with respect to function keys. (DLR)
2776 get_kbinput(), get_translated_kbinput(), get_ascii_kbinput(),
2777 get_untranslated_kbinput()
2778 - Make the ascii_digits variables ints instead of size_t's,
2779 since they will only hold very small values. (DLR)
2781 - Remove the wide character handling, as it didn't work properly
2782 with respect to adding multiple wide characters at once, and
2783 ungetting them just caused other problems elsewhere. (DLR)
2784 get_translated_kbinput()
2785 - Remove the wide character handling, as it didn't work properly
2786 with respect to adding multiple wide characters at once, and
2787 ungetting them just caused other problems elsewhere. (DLR)
2788 - Use if statements instead of switch/case statements to handle
2789 ASCII character sequence mode, as they take up less room.
2791 - Use if statements instead of switch/case statements to handle
2792 ASCII character sequence mode, as they take up less room.
2793 get_verbatim_kbinput()
2794 - Don't pass v_kbinput in as a parameter, since we're
2795 dynamically allocating it and then returning it. (DLR)
2796 - Remove v_first parameter, and go back to the old behavior of
2797 putting back the first character of the escape sequence, as it
2798 worked just as well and was less complicated. (DLR)
2800 - Return TRUE instead of FALSE only when we have a control key,
2801 a prinary meta key sequence, or both. (DLR)
2803 - Add a debug message. (DLR)
2804 - Take kbinput as a reference instead of a value, so that it's
2805 translated when the key is translated to its equivalent
2806 control key or meta key shortcut. (DLR)
2807 - Return s instead of NULL only when we have a control key, a
2808 prinary meta key sequence, or both. (DLR)
2810 - Add a debug message. (DLR)
2812 - Initialize foo, in case a keystroke meets none of the handled
2815 - Refresh bottomwin using the value of currshortcut, and change
2816 the code around do_refresh() calls to accommodate this. (DLR)
2817 - Split out the code that updates the screen before refreshing
2818 it into the new function total_redraw().
2820 - Refresh the screen when Ctrl-L is pressed in the help browser,
2823 - Remove specific references to control key shortcuts. (DLR)
2824 - Check for the wide versions of ncurses or slang, without which
2825 multibyte strings don't seem to be displayed properly, and
2826 associated multibyte/wide character functions. (DLR)
2827 - Check for wchar.h, for those systems that need it for the
2828 wcwidth() prototype. (DLR)
2829 - Remove checks for all include files that we include
2830 unconditionally. (DLR)
2831 - Remove references to termio.h here and elsewhere, since it's
2832 obsolete and it defines a struct termio that we don't use
2835 - Add checks for isascii(), iswalnum(), iswblank() or
2836 iswspace(), mblen(), and wctype.h. (DLR)
2838 - Updated for the 1.3 branch. (DLR)
2840 - Updated to mention the need for a wide character-supporting
2841 version of curses or slang if UTF-8 support is desired. (DLR)
2843 - Remove now-inaccurate note about verbatim input's not working
2844 at prompts, and update its description to mention that it
2845 handles hexadecimal values now. (DLR)
2846 - Add question about opening files with names beginning with
2847 '+'s, and add a few more miscellaneous cosmetic fixes.
2849 - Add return to the "c-file" regexes. (DLR)
2850 - Clarify the text describing good values for whitespace
2851 display. Since ASCII is technically only seven bits wide,
2852 characters 128-255 aren't ASCII. (DLR, suggested by Michael
2854 - Add the "morespace" option. (DLR)
2855 - Add support for characters to the "c-file" regexes. (DLR)
2856 - Add the hexadecimal equivalents of the decimal values
2857 suggested for whitespace display, now that it can handle
2858 multibyte characters. (DLR)
2859 - Add "manpage" regex. (Mike Frysinger, minor tweaks by DLR)
2860 - nano.1. nanorc.5, nano.texi:
2861 - Add the "morespace" option, and sync with the descriptions in
2862 nanorc.sample in a few places. (DLR)
2863 - Miscellaneous wording tweaks. (DLR)
2865 - Add chars.c to nano_SOURCES. (DLR)
2866 - If we're installing and the "rnano" symlink already exists,
2867 remove it so that we can create it again without an error.
2870 - Updated to mention UTF-8 support.
2872 GNU nano 1.3.5 - 2004.11.22
2874 - Convert more ints that hold only TRUE and FALSE values to
2876 - Consolidate the code for finding and running a shortcut in a
2877 shortcut list, the code for finding and toggling a toggle in a
2878 toggle list, and the code for doing both of those and
2879 interpreting mouse clicks in the edit window. Also move the
2880 code for do_mouse() to get_edit_mouse() and tweak it to
2881 properly handle cases where a shortcut isn't clicked. New
2882 functions get_shortcut(), get_toggle(), get_edit_input(), and
2883 get_edit_mouse(); changes to do_browser(), do_justify(),
2884 do_help(), and main(). (DLR)
2885 - Simplify a few more translated messages. (DLR)
2886 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
2887 - Remove reference to @includedir@ in src/Makefile.am, as it's
2888 unneeded and can break cross-compilation. (DLR, found by Mike
2890 - Overhaul the file opening, reading, and loading operations to
2891 increase efficiency, avoid problems on invalid filenames
2892 specified on the command line, and eliminate corner cases that
2893 erroneously leave edittop or current NULL when they shouldn't
2894 be. Also split out the code to execute a command into a
2895 separate function, eliminate a workaround for one of the
2896 aforementioned corner cases, handle files with a mix of DOS
2897 and Mac format lines, and remove the code to turn on the
2898 NO_CONVERT flag when opening a binary file, as it's not always
2899 reliable and will cause problems with UTF-8 text files. New
2900 functions open_file(), execute_command(), and mallocstrassn();
2901 changes to read_line(), load_file(), read_file(), open_file(),
2902 get_next_filename(), do_insertfile(), do_insertfile_void(),
2903 do_alt_speller(), and edit_refresh(). (David Benbennick) DLR:
2904 Add a few minor fixes to make sure that current is set
2905 properly in all cases, indicate on the statusbar when the file
2906 has a mix of DOS and Mac format lines, move the test for DOS
2907 line endings from read_line() to read_file() to avoid
2908 inaccurate statusbar messages and to reduce fileformat to a
2909 local variable in read_file(), eliminate another workaround in
2910 edit_update(), rename open_the_file() to open_file() since the
2911 latter has been removed, and rename load_a_file() to
2913 - Add alternative shortcuts to the main and search shortcut
2914 lists for moving to the beginning and end of a paragraph and
2915 justifying the entire file: Meta-( (Meta-9), Meta-) (Meta-0),
2916 and Meta-J, respectively. Do this because Pico's practice of
2917 putting these shortcuts only in the search shortcut list is
2919 - Turn off extended input processing (the IEXTEN termios flag)
2920 as nano 1.2.x does. New function disable_extended_input();
2921 changes to terminal_init(). (DLR)
2922 - Remove redundant include of limits.h from nano.c. nano.c
2923 includes nano.h and nano.h includes limits.h. (DLR)
2924 - Add a func_key flag to the low-level input functions and the
2925 currently existing high-level input functions, to indicate
2926 extended keypad values. This is needed for UTF-8 support.
2927 Changes to unget_kbinput(), get_kbinput(),
2928 get_translated_kbinput(), get_shortcut(), get_edit_input(),
2930 - Add a multibuffer mode toggle to the "Execute Command" prompt,
2931 for consistency with the "Read File" prompt. Changes to
2932 do_insertfile() and shortcut_init(). (DLR)
2933 - Add an ^X toggle to the "Execute Command" prompt to go back to
2934 the "Insert File" prompt, and add a ^T toggle to the "Go To
2935 Line" prompt to go back to the "Where Is" prompt. Changes to
2936 do_insertfile(), shortcut_init(), do_gotoline(), etc.
2937 - Make sure a few uninitialized static variables are initialized
2938 to sane values. (DLR)
2939 - After reading in a file and detecting the format it's in, set
2940 the file format flags (DOS_FILE and MAC_FILE) to match, and
2941 preserve them across multiple file buffers. Changes to
2942 read_file(), add_open_file(), and load_open_file(). (DLR,
2943 suggested by Bill Soudan)
2944 - Remove the -D/--dos and -M/--mac command line options, as they
2945 aren't much use with the new file format autodetection. Also
2946 remove the global versions of the toggles, so that they can
2947 only be used at the "Write File" prompt as similar options
2948 can. Finally, change the Mac format toggle to Meta-M, since
2949 that no longer conflicts with the global -m/--mouse toggle.
2951 - Add support for reading in UTF-8 sequences to the low-level
2952 input routines. Changes to get_kbinput() and
2953 get_translated_kbinput(). (DLR)
2954 - Reduce search_last_line to a static variable in search.c, and
2955 allow it to be set to FALSE via a function. New function
2956 findnextstr_wrap_reset(); changes to do_int_spell_fix(),
2957 findnextstr(), do_search(), do_research(), do_replace_loop(),
2958 do_replace(), and do_find_bracket(). (DLR, problem with making
2959 search_last_line local to findnextstr() found by Rocco)
2960 - When saving or changing file positions, be sure not to ignore
2961 placewewant. Changes to do_int_spell_fix(), findnextstr(),
2962 do_replace_loop(), and do_replace(). (DLR)
2963 - Convert current_x and mark_beginx to size_t's, and convert
2964 some functions that use them as a parameter to use size_t as
2965 well. Also change some related assertions to handle them.
2966 (David Benbennick and DLR)
2967 - Add code to partition a filestruct between a set of arbitrary
2968 coordinates. Given the coordinates of the beginning and end
2969 of the mark, this allows proper and easier handling of saving
2970 marked selections, replacing text only in marked selections
2971 (suggested by Joseph Birthisel), and spell-checking marked
2972 selections using either the internal or alternate spell
2973 checker. Do all these using a global partition structure.
2974 New functions partition_filestruct(),
2975 unpartition_filestruct(), remove_magicline(), and
2976 get_totals(); changes to write_marked(), do_int_spell_fix(),
2977 do_alt_speller(), handle_sigwinch(), and do_replace_loop().
2979 - Remove most redundant includes of sys/stat.h. It's included
2980 in nano.h, so it doesn't need to be included in files that
2981 include nano.h. (DLR)
2982 - Remove the DOS_FILE and MAC_FILE flags, as they're only used
2983 in files.c, and replace them with a static file_format enum.
2984 Change the openfilestruct structure accordingly in order to
2986 - Convert some ints with predefined boundaries to enums. (DLR)
2987 - Include config.h only if HAVE_CONFIG_H. (Jordi)
2989 cut_marked_segment()
2990 - Respect concatenate_cut, as we need to use it if we do a
2991 marked cut and immediately follow it with a cut-to-end (which
2992 uses this function). (DLR)
2994 - Set concatenate_cut to TRUE unconditionally when doing a
2995 marked cut. This fixes an incompatibility with Pico where an
2996 extra line is uncut if we do a marked cut that includes the
2997 magicline and immediately follow it with an unmarked cut.
3000 - Maintain current_y's value when uncutting blocks so that
3001 smooth scrolling works correctly. (DLR)
3004 - Rename variable fileformat to format, to avoid confusion with
3005 the file_format enum type. (DLR)
3007 - Don't change the file format when we insert another file into
3008 the current one. (DLR)
3010 - Simplify by reusing variables whereever possible, and add a
3011 parameter execute to indicate whether or not to be in "Execute
3012 Command" mode. (DLR)
3013 - Rework so that goto is no longer needed, using do_writeout()
3015 - If file browsing succeeds, call statusq_abort() so that the
3016 cursor position at the statusbar is reset. (DLR)
3017 - Add missing #ifdefs around the wrap_reset() call so that nano
3018 compiles with wrapping disabled again. (DLR)
3019 - If we're not inserting a file into a new buffer, partition the
3020 current buffer so that it's effectively a new buffer just
3021 before inserting the file, and only restore placewewant
3022 afterwards. This is the same behavior we would get if we
3023 opened the file, added all of it to the cutbuffer, closed the
3024 file, and uncut at the current cursor position. (DLR)
3025 - Maintain current_y's value when inserting so that smooth
3026 scrolling works correctly. (DLR)
3028 - Restructure if blocks for greater efficiency, using
3029 do_insertfile() as a model. (DLR)
3030 - Simplify where possible, and use an int retval to hold the
3031 return value instead of i. (DLR)
3032 - If file browsing succeeds, call statusq_abort() so that the
3033 cursor position at the statusbar is reset. (DLR)
3034 - Remove unneeded calls to display_main_list(). (DLR)
3036 - Call display_main_list(), for consistency with
3037 do_insertfile_void(). (DLR)
3039 - If we've tried to write to an unwritable file and we're not
3040 prepending, tempname is NULL when it's passed to unlink().
3041 This can cause problems if unlink() can't handle NULL, so
3042 don't call it in that case. (David Benbennick)
3044 - Remove check for MARK_ISSET's not being set. (DLR)
3045 open_prevfile(), open_nextfile()
3046 - Translate the "New Buffer" string when displaying "Switched
3047 to" messages on the statusbar. (DLR)
3049 - Fix snprintf() call so that we don't segfault when trying to
3050 complete a filename containing %'s. (Ulf Härnhammar)
3053 - Remove redundant NANO_SMALL #ifdef. (DLR)
3054 - Change an erroneous _() around the "New Buffer" string to
3056 - Add new key aliases: F15 for "Mark Text" (DLR) and F16 for
3057 "Where Is Next" (Chris).
3058 - Leave "Mark Text" and "Where Is Next" out entirely when
3059 NANO_SMALL is defined. Since they aren't in the visible main
3060 list, there's no point in having them in but disabled. (DLR)
3061 - In the search prompt shortcut list, move "Full Justify" to
3062 after "History", so that the latter is visible onscreen
3066 - Clarify the error message when there are too many backup files
3067 and the current one can't be written. (DLR)
3069 - Rework to be a bit more flexible. Only add tabs for shortcut
3070 key entries if those entries exist, and if there's only one
3071 entry left but there's room for more than one, add enough tabs
3072 to put that entry at the end. Also, make sure a function key
3073 is displayed in the middle if it's the first entry. These
3074 changes allow e.g. the miscellaneous meta key sequence to be
3075 displayed in a shortcut that has a control key, a primary meta
3076 key sequence, and a miscellaneous meta key sequence, but no
3078 - Update the help text to mention replacing and spell checking
3079 only selected text, and also add a few cosmetic fixes to it.
3081 - Update the help text to mention how to get a blank buffer at
3082 the "Execute Command" prompt. (DLR)
3084 - Tweak to avoid an infinite loop, since current_x is now a
3085 size_t and hence is unsigned. (DLR)
3087 - Move the REVERSE_SEARCH flag toggling into the NANO_SMALL
3088 #ifdef, since the tiny version of nano doesn't support reverse
3089 searching. Move the CASE_SENSITIVE flag toggling out in order
3090 to allow the internal spell checker to work properly when
3091 NANO_SMALL is defined and DISABLE_SPELLER isn't. Also, turn
3092 the USE_REGEXP flag off during spell checking in order to
3093 avoid a potential segfault. (DLR)
3094 - Fix a problem where if the cursor is in the middle of a file,
3095 the spell checker will sometimes only correct the misspelled
3096 word instances that appear before the cursor position and then
3098 - Use do_replace_loop()'s canceled parameter in order to ensure
3099 that the spell checking stops if we canceled at the replace
3102 - Call terminal_init() unconditionally after running the
3103 alternate spell checker, so that the terminal state is
3104 properly restored in all cases. (DLR)
3106 - For more compatibility with Pico, remove extra space after a
3107 character in punct if that character is the same as the one
3108 before it. For example, with the default values of punct and
3109 brackets, only one space will be left after "...". (DLR)
3110 do_para_begin(), do_para_end()
3111 - Maintain current_y's value when moving up or down lines so
3112 that smooth scrolling works correctly. (DLR)
3113 breakable(), break_line()
3114 - Make goal a ssize_t instead of an int, since fill is now a
3115 ssize_t, and the position at which a line is broken can be
3116 greater than COLS. (DLR)
3118 - Tweak the command line parsing routine so that multiple +LINE
3119 flags are properly interpreted in multibuffer mode. (DLR)
3121 - Add WIDTH_OF_TAB #define, containing the default width of a
3123 - Move the PATH_MAX #define here from files.c.
3124 - Remove unused COPYFILEBLOCKSIZE #define. (DLR)
3126 - Add missing NANO_SMALL #ifdef around the cut_marked_segment()
3130 - Add missing brackets around an if statement block so that
3131 parsing the numeric argument after "tabsize" works properly
3132 again. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
3133 - Since flag values are longs, use "%ld" instead of "%d" in the
3134 debugging messages indicating when a flag is set or unset.
3138 - If NANO_SMALL is defined, don't bother checking the
3139 CASE_SENSITIVE flag or using its value when compiling a list
3140 of matching regular expressions. (DLR)
3142 - Add parameter use_answer. When it's TRUE, only set
3143 backupstring to answer. This is needed to preserve the text
3144 of the statusbar when switching to the search prompt from
3145 the "Go To Line" prompt. Also, set backupstring before doing
3146 anything else, add one minor efficiency tweak, and preserve
3147 the text of the statusbar no matter what when switching from
3148 the search prompt to the "Go To Line" prompt, since the
3149 toggling works both ways now and non-numeric text shouldn't be
3150 lost when going only one of those ways. (DLR)
3151 - When we're replacing and the mark is on, display a prompt
3152 indicating that we're replacing text only in the selection
3153 instead of the usual prompt. (DLR)
3155 - Take the no_sameline parameter after can_display_wrap and
3156 wholewords, not after all other parameters. (DLR)
3157 - Maintain current_y's value when moving up or down lines so
3158 that smooth scrolling works correctly. (DLR)
3159 - Fix handling of the wholewords flag so that it works with
3160 regular expressions and in conjunction with the no_sameline
3161 flag, and add new parameter needle_len (used to return the
3162 length of the match). (DLR)
3164 - Miscellaneous cleanups: treat real_current as current and
3165 real_current_x as current_x, only turn the mark off and call
3166 edit_refresh() if the mark was originally on, and make
3167 length_change a ssize_t. (DLR)
3168 - Return ssize_t instead of int. (DLR)
3169 - Add new parameter canceled, set to TRUE if we canceled at the
3170 prompt and FALSE otherwise. (DLR)
3173 - Don't assume any longer that string will be found if
3174 REG_NOTBOL and REG_NOTEOL are not set. (DLR)
3176 - New function, used as a malloc()ing equivalent of strncpy().
3179 - Refactor to be a wrapper for mallocstrncpy(). (DLR)
3181 - Add new parameter right_side_up. Set it to TRUE If the mark
3182 begins with (mark_beginbuf, mark_beginx) and ends with
3183 (current, current_x), or FALSE otherwise. (DLR)
3186 - New function used as a wrapper for ungetch(). (DLR)
3188 - When reading an escape sequence, set get_verbatim_kbinput()'s
3189 new first parameter to the first character of the sequence
3190 instead of putting that character back and reading the entire
3191 sequence afterwards. (DLR)
3192 get_escape_seq_kbinput()
3193 - Make the escape_seq parameter a const int*, since it's never
3195 - Support the escape sequences for F15 and F16. (DLR)
3196 get_verbatim_kbinput()
3197 - Add new parameter first. If first isn't ERR, make it the
3198 first character in the returned sequence instead of reading
3199 the first character in via blocking input. (DLR)
3201 - Consolidate two if statements to increase efficiency. (DLR)
3202 - Check kbinput against metaval instead of (erroneously) ctrlval
3203 when putting back a meta sequence. (DLR)
3204 - If there are more than MAIN_VISIBLE shortcuts available, only
3205 register clicks on the first MAIN_VISIBLE shortcuts, since
3206 bottombars() only shows that many shortcuts. (DLR)
3208 - Rename to check_statusblank(), and rename its associated
3209 global int statusblank too. (DLR)
3211 - Refresh the screen when Ctrl-L is pressed at the statusbar
3212 prompt, as Pico does. (DLR)
3213 - Always return the key pressed by the user. (DLR)
3215 - Rework slightly to reset the cursor position when the user
3216 hits Enter as well as Cancel. This means that resetstatuspos
3217 no longer needs to be global. (DLR)
3219 - New function to set resetstatuspos to FALSE when we don't
3220 properly exit the statusbar prompt, e.g. when we get a file
3221 from the file browser). (DLR)
3223 - For efficiency, no longer dynamically allocate space for each
3224 visible shortcut, as they're all of a constant short length.
3227 - If this is called before any files have been opened, as it can
3228 be by statusbar(), put the cursor at the top left corner of
3229 the edit window before getting out. (DLR)
3231 - Call edit_update() with NONE instead of CENTER when smooth
3232 scrolling is on, for consistency with the movement routines.
3235 - Simplify so as not to require the fileptr parameter anymore,
3236 since it's set to current in all calls. (DLR)
3237 - Add comments better explaining what the update actually does,
3238 and avoid an infinite loop when location is NONE and current_y
3239 is greater than (editwinrows - 1). (DLR)
3241 - Don't bother assigning the value of get_mouseinput() to
3242 anything. Since allow_shortcuts is FALSE, its return value
3243 will always be FALSE. (DLR)
3245 - When calling AC_TRY_RUN() to test for a broken regexec()
3246 function, set the fourth parameter to default to "no" (since
3247 it apparently only occurs on glibc 2.2.3-based systems) so
3248 that cross-compiling will work. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
3249 - Simplify the curses library tests by only checking for
3250 initscr(), which ncurses, curses, and pdcurses should all
3251 have, and not tgetent(), which is a termcap-specific function.
3253 - Check only for glib 2.x, as it's much more common than
3254 glib 1.2.x now, and it has a better v?snprintf()
3255 implementation. (DLR, suggested by Jordi)
3257 - Remove specific references to control key shortcuts other than
3259 - Add continue and goto to the "c-file" regexes. (DLR)
3260 - Change the included speller value to "aspell -x -c". The -x
3261 option makes aspell not create backup files, and this is
3262 consistent with the internal spell checker's behavior. (DLR)
3263 - doc/man/fr/nano.1, doc/man/fr/nanorc.1:
3264 - Updated manpage translations by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
3266 - Mention the requirement for glib 2.x on systems lacking
3267 v?snprintf(), and add minor formatting changes.
3268 - Mention the requirement for groff in order to create html
3269 versions of the manpages. (DLR)
3270 - Update the given cvs commands so that they work again, and
3271 mention the need for ssh to do cvs checkouts. (DLR)
3272 - List sh as an example of a Bourne shell. (DLR)
3274 - Fixed inaccuracy: Pico compatibility mode was made the default
3275 in nano 1.1.99pre1, not 1.2.2. (DLR)
3276 - Added question about how to type F13-F16 on terminals lacking
3277 keys past F12 (suggested by Chris), question about how to
3278 select text for the clipboard in X terminals with nano's mouse
3279 support turned on (answer found by Joseph Birthisel), and
3280 miscellaneous fixes and link updates. (DLR)
3282 - Eliminate references to the now removed -D/--dos and -M/--mac
3283 command line options. (DLR)
3285 - Eliminate references to the now removed -D/--dos and -M/--mac
3286 command line options, and their corresponding toggles. (DLR)
3288 - Add glib-2.0.m4 to EXTRA_DIST, so that nano builds from CVS
3289 with automake 1.7.x again. For some reason, automake 1.9.x
3290 didn't have a problem with its (erroneously) being left out.
3291 (DLR, problem found by Chris)
3293 - New file imported from glib 2.4.7. This is needed to detect
3294 glib 2.x on systems that may not have it installed. (DLR,
3297 - Don't use DEFS to define things. Use INCLUDES instead.
3300 GNU nano 1.3.4 - 2004.08.17
3302 - More minor comment cleanups. (DLR)
3303 - Convert more ints and functions using 0 and 1 to bools using
3304 TRUE and FALSE. (David Benbennick and DLR)
3305 - Change more instances of ints that have large enough upper
3306 bounds and which can never be negative to size_t's, and
3307 convert nano to handle them properly. (DLR)
3308 - Convert the shortcut list functions and most related functions
3309 to return void instead of int, as the return values of all
3310 those functions are essentially unused. Changes to
3311 sc_init_one(), shortcut_init(), etc. (David Benbennick and
3313 - Make flags and all variables meant to store the value of flags
3314 longs for consistency. (David Benbennick)
3315 - Rename the TEMP_OPT flags to TEMP_FILE, as it's more
3317 - Remove unused global variable search_offscreen. (David
3319 - Add new N_() macro to mark strings that aren't translated
3320 immediately, and convert nano to use it in cases where the
3321 translated string is stored in a const char*. Changes
3322 to sc_init_one(), print1opt(), help_init(), rcfile_error(),
3323 do_credits(), etc. (David Benbennick) DLR: Do this for
3324 toggle_init_one() too.
3325 - Minor tweaks and clarifications to some option descriptions.
3327 - Overhaul the shortcut list and toggle list initialization
3328 code for efficiency. Changes to shortcut_init() and
3329 toggle_init(). (David Benbennick) DLR: Move "Cancel" to just
3330 after "Get Help" in the file browser list, for consistency
3331 with all the other lists, have the replace list accept all the
3332 same function keys as the search list, and clarify a few
3333 shortcut descriptions.
3334 - Convert nano to use the new parse_num() function to read in
3335 numeric values at the command line and in the rcfile, and
3336 duplicate the messages used in the rcfile in the command line
3337 for consistency. (David Benbennick) DLR: Tweak parse_num() to
3338 parse ssize_t values instead of ints and to return a bool
3339 indicating whether parsing succeeded. Convert tabsize,
3340 wrap_at, and fill to ssize_t in order to work with
3341 parse_num() properly and also to increase their capacity
3342 while keeping the ability to hold negative numbers in case of
3343 errors. Also exit instead of calling usage() in the event of
3344 an invalid fill value, for consistency with how an invalid
3345 tabsize value is handled. Finally, handle invalid tabsize
3346 entries in the rcfile the same way as on the command line,
3347 and reset tabsize and wrap_at to their default values if
3348 invalid rcfile entries are specified for them.
3349 - Remove several unnecessary reset_cursor() calls. (David
3351 - Include <sys/types.h> in proto.h. (David Benbennick) DLR:
3352 Remove some redundant inclusions of <sys/types.h> elsewhere.
3353 - Move the main terminal initialization functions, aside from
3354 initscr(), into a new terminal_init() function, and convert
3355 nano to use it. (DLR)
3356 - Convert placewewant to a size_t, and convert some functions
3357 that use it as a parameter to use size_t as well. (David
3359 - Overhaul the paragraph searching code and some of the justify
3360 code to clarify it and fix a bug where searches from the
3361 previous paragraph would move up too far. Also make
3362 quotestr-related variables global so that they only have to be
3363 compiled once, and remove the no-longer-needed IFREG() macro.
3364 New functions begpar() and inpar(); changes to quote_length(),
3365 quotes_match(), do_para_search(), do_para_begin(),
3366 do_para_end(), and do_justify(). (David Benbennick)
3367 - Readded the errors flag and moved the ending prompt from
3368 rcfile_error() to parse_rcfile() so that we only get prompted
3369 once for all errors instead of separately for each error.
3370 (DLR) David Benbennick: Make sure that no rcfile error
3371 messages end in newlines, and show the ending prompt if we
3372 can't read the .nano_history file while starting nano.
3373 - Don't treat the return value of strn?(case)?cmp() as boolean.
3374 (DLR and David Benbennick)
3375 - Automatically install a symlink "rnano" pointing to nano.
3376 Changes to src/Marefile.am. (DLR)
3377 - Move the static int pid to the beginning of nano.c with all
3378 the other static variables. (DLR)
3379 - Consolidate some if blocks to remove some redundant code.
3381 - Fix warnings when compiling with ENABLE_NLS undefined and with
3382 the fwritable-strings option. (David Benbennick)
3383 - Add various #ifdefs to fix warnings and compilation problems
3384 when compiling with every option manually turned on, including
3385 NANO_SMALL. (David Benbennick)
3386 - Simplify some of the rcfile and statusbar error messages, and
3387 make some of them more consistent. (David Benbennick and DLR)
3388 - Change some functions to take const char*'s instead of char*'s
3389 where possible. (David Benbennick)
3390 - Tweak some #ifdefs around indent_length() and references to
3391 fill_flag_used to avoid warnings when compiling with
3392 --disable-wrapping, --disable-justify, or a combination of the
3394 - Overhaul the routines used to read the rcfiles and history
3395 files for efficiency, make them work properly on lines over
3396 1023 characters long and on lines containing nulls, and make
3397 them properly handle the case where the user's home directory
3398 changes in the middle of a session. New functions
3399 histfilename() and writehist(); changes to
3400 thanks_for_all_the_fish(), load_history(), save_history(), and
3401 do_rcfile(). (David Benbennick)
3404 - Tweak for efficiency, and add the ".save" suffix to the file
3405 here. (David Benbennick)
3407 - Tweak to no longer rely on the return values of
3408 open_(prev|next)file(). (DLR)
3410 - For consistency with nano 1.2.x and with other editors, make
3411 the mode of newly created files 666 instead of 600 before
3412 it's modified by the umask. (DLR, found by Toni Suokas)
3414 - If we're in restricted mode and the current filename isn't
3415 blank, we can't change it, so disable tab completion in that
3417 - Fix spacing problem in the "Save Under Different Name"
3421 - Fix erroneous #ifdef so that nano compiles with
3422 --disable-justify again. (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
3423 - Change the Cancel shortcut in the file browser to an Exit
3424 shortcut, to be more compatible with the current version of
3426 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
3427 - Delete topwin, edit, and bottomwin. (David Benbennick)
3430 - Don't add the ".save" suffix to a saved file here anymore,
3431 since get_next_filename() does that now. (David Benbennick)
3433 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3435 - Fix the display of the translated key descriptions "Up" and
3436 "Space" under all circumstances, and make the help browser
3437 work properly when there are fewer than 24 columns available.
3440 - Don't translate the option strings for -Z/--restricted.
3443 - Don't treat it as a special case when the user presses Enter
3444 on the last line of the screen and smooth scrolling is on, for
3447 - When reloading the newly spell-checked temporary file, call
3448 terminal_init() to make sure that all the original terminal
3449 settings are restored, as a curses-based alternative spell
3450 checker (e.g. aspell) can change them. (DLR)
3452 - Fix problem where quoted justify wouldn't work if HAVE_REGEX_H
3453 wasn't set. (David Benbennick)
3455 - Add allow_respacing flag, used to indicate when we've moved to
3456 the next line after justifying the current line, and only run
3457 the respacing routine when it's true. This keeps the
3458 respacing routine from erroneously being run more than once on
3459 the same line. (DLR)
3460 - Check for first_par_line's not being NULL and only run the
3461 renumbering and cutbuffer-splicing routines depending on that
3462 if that's the case. This fixes a segfault occurring when
3463 trying to do full justification on a file with no paragraphs
3464 (in which case there are no normal lines to renumber and no
3465 backed-up lines to be stored in the cutbuffer or spliced back
3466 in during unjustify). (DLR)
3468 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3470 - Move the reset_cursor() call to the beginning of the main
3471 input loop, and remove the apparently unnecessary wrefresh()
3472 call. (David Benbennick)
3473 - Call setlocale() outside the ENABLE_NLS #ifdef, since UTF-8
3474 support won't work properly if the locale isn't set, whether
3475 NLS is enabled or not. (Junichi Uekawa)
3476 - Add titlebar() calls before all open_file() calls and remove
3477 the titlebar() call after them, so that the titlebar is
3478 displayed properly for all file(s) loaded. Also call
3479 display_main_list() after adding the first file to open_files,
3480 so that "Close" is properly displayed then instead of "Exit".
3483 - Reassign the key for full justification to Ctrl-U, for
3484 compatibility with the current version of Pico. (DLR)
3485 - Remove justbegend enum, as it's no longer needed. (DLR)
3487 - Change the variables in the prototypes for do_justify(),
3488 get_verbatim_kbinput(), and get_mouseinput() to match the ones
3489 used in the actual functions. (DLR)
3490 - Remove unused declaration of temp_opt. (David Benbennick)
3491 - Add missing copy_file() prototype. (David Benbennick)
3492 - Move the load_history() and save_history() prototypes up to
3493 match their corresponding location in files.c. (DLR)
3496 - Removed and replaced with calls to rcfile_error(). (David
3498 - Removed the reference to "starting nano" in the statusbar
3499 message, as it may be called when we exit if the history file
3500 can't be saved. (DLR)
3502 - Have whitespace display default to off instead of on. (Mike
3505 - Rename the variable flags to eflags so as not to conflict with
3506 the global flags. (DLR)
3509 - Make sure old_pww is updated to the current value of
3510 placewewant when a new match is found, so that edit_redraw()
3511 will redraw the screen properly when only placewewant changes.
3512 (DLR, found by Mike Frysinger)
3514 - Instead of using edit_update() to redraw the screen with
3515 edittop at the top, set edittop beforehand and call
3516 edit_refresh(). (DLR)
3518 - Use parse_num() to interpret a line entered by the user, and
3519 start the search for a line from current instead of fileage.
3521 do_gotopos(), find_node(), free_history()
3522 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3524 - Only include when DEBUG is defined. (David Benbennick)
3527 - New function to parse numeric values, so that we don't have to
3528 duplicate code that calls strtol() all over the place. (David
3529 Benbennick) DLR: Renamed from parse_int() to parse_num() and
3530 converted to use ssize_t instead of int.
3532 - Remove code chacking for n's being less than 0 that will never
3533 be run, since n is a size_t and is hence unsigned. (David
3535 ngetdelim(), ngetline()
3536 - New functions equivalent to getdelim() and getline(), which
3537 are both GNU extensions. (DLR, adapted from GNU mailutils
3538 0.5 with minor changes to better integrate with nano and
3539 increase efficiency)
3542 - Since the only valid values for escapes are 0, 1, and 2,
3543 convert it to an int. (DLR)
3544 get_control_kbinput()
3545 - Fix erroneous debugging statement so that nano compiles with
3546 --enable-debug again. (Jon Oberheide)
3548 - Tweak the code to update the edit window just before getting
3549 statusbar input for efficiency, and update bottomwin just
3550 before then too. (David Benbennick)
3551 - Don't delete the statusbar line on UnCut, since the current
3552 version of Pico doesn't. (DLR)
3554 - Add assert to check whether totsize is correct. (David
3557 - Rename to help_line_len() so as not to conflict with the
3558 line_len variable used elsewhere, and move inside the
3559 DISABLE_HELP #ifdef surrounding do_help() since it's only
3560 called in do_help(). (DLR)
3562 - Have help_line_len() properly return an int again, since its
3563 value can't be larger than COLS. (DLR)
3564 - Allow the user to exit the help browser via Ctrl-C as well as
3565 Ctrl-X, for consistency with the file browser. (DLR)
3567 - Add AC_PROG_LN_S, so that we can portably create symlinks.
3569 - Check for getdelim() and getline(), which are both GNU
3572 - Add sample regexes for patch files. (Mike Frysinger)
3573 - Various improvements to the "c-file" regexes. Add double,
3574 typedef, extern, union, unsigned, inline, and long to the
3575 green list. (Mike Frysinger) DLR: Also add signed, short, and
3576 enum to the green list.
3578 - Tweak to include all files in %{_bindir} instead of just nano,
3579 so that the "rnano" symlink will be properly packaged. (DLR)
3581 GNU nano 1.3.3 - 2004.06.28
3583 - Minor comment cleanups. (DLR)
3584 - Convert more ints used as boolean values to use TRUE and
3585 FALSE. (David Benbennick)
3586 - Make sure the special control keys are handled the same way
3587 after the window is resized or we come out of suspend mode.
3588 Changes to do_cont() and handle_sigwinch(). (DLR)
3589 - Change some instances of ints that can never be negative to
3591 - Add better explanations for and in the "Terminal breakage"
3592 comments, and handle missing key #ifdefs inside the functions
3593 that use those keys. (DLR)
3594 - Add restricted mode, accessible via the -Z/--restricted
3595 command line option or by invoking nano with any name
3596 beginning with 'r' (e.g. "rnano"). In restricted mode, nano
3597 will not read or write to any file not specified on the
3598 command line, read any nanorc files, allow suspending, or
3599 allow a file to be appended to, prepended to, or saved under a
3600 different name if it already has one. (IO ERROR) DLR: Also
3601 disable backup files and spell checking (since the latter can
3602 leave a pre-spell-checked version of the file in a temporary
3603 directory), use tail() to get the program name so that the
3604 check for its beginning with 'r' will work when a path is
3605 specified, disable toggles that are only useful with options
3606 that are disabled in restricted mode, call nano_disabled_msg()
3607 when trying to read or spell check a file instead of leaving
3608 the shortcuts out of the main list, and instead of acting as
3609 though TEMP_OPT is enabled when exiting with a modified file
3610 (which caused problems if the filename was blank), only allow
3611 a filename to be modified at the writeout prompt if it's blank
3612 beforehand. Changes to do_writeout(), toggle_init(),
3613 shortcut_init(), die_save_file(), and nanogetstr().
3614 - Call nano_disabled_msg() directly from the shortcut list
3615 instead of inside the disabled functions. (David Benbennick)
3616 - Clarifications to comments explaining exactly what control
3617 characters and escape sequences are supported. (DLR)
3618 - Disable "Where Is Next" in tiny mode. (DLR)
3619 - Added the ability to justify the entire file at once, which
3620 Pico has via ^W^J. Changes to backup_lines() and
3621 do_justify(); new functions do_justify_void() and
3622 do_full_justify(). (DLR)
3623 - Modify the justification algorithm to work the same way as in
3624 the current version of Pico, i.e. add a space at the end of
3625 each line of the justified paragraph except for the last one,
3626 and if there was a space at the end of the last one, remove
3627 it. Changes to justify_format() and do_justify(). Note that
3628 we can no longer reliably detect the first modified line in a
3629 paragraph, since a line unmodified by justify_format() may get
3630 a space tacked onto the end of it or removed from the end of
3631 it later. The entire original paragraph is now always backed
3632 up, and justify_format() no longer has a non-modifying mode,
3633 so it's now only called in backup_lines(). (DLR)
3634 - Wrap the long jump code in NANO_SMALL #ifdefs, since we only
3635 use it if we're resizing the window, which is disabled when
3636 NANO_SMALL is defined. (DLR)
3637 - Add smart home key option, accessible via -A/--smarthome on
3638 the command line, "set smarthome" in the rcfile, and the
3639 Meta-H toggle in the edit window. Smart home works as
3640 follows: When Home is pressed anywhere but at the very
3641 beginning of non-whitespace characters on a line, the cursor
3642 will jump to that beginning (either forwards or backwards).
3643 If the cursor is already at that position, it will jump to the
3644 true beginning of the line. This option is disabled in tiny
3645 mode. Changes to do_home(), nanogetstr(), etc. (DLR;
3646 suggested by Stephan T. Lavavej)
3647 - Minor tweaks to the punctuation in some statusbar messages.
3649 - Overhaul the low-level input routines into main routines that
3650 actually get the input and state machines that interpret the
3651 input. This allows better handling of the input (e.g. ignored
3652 keys are now always ignored instead of just being ignored when
3653 there are no escapes prefixing them) and will make it easier
3654 to port to interfaces that don't have blocking input. New
3655 functions reset_kbinput(), get_translated_kbinput(),
3656 get_control_kbinput(), and get_untranslated_kbinput(); changes
3657 to do_verbatim_input(), handle_sigwinch(), get_kbinput(),
3658 get_ascii_kbinput(), get_escape_seq_kbinput(), and
3659 get_verbatim_kbinput(); removal of get_ignored_kbinput() and
3660 get_accepted_kbinput(). (DLR)
3661 - Overhaul all the movement functions in order to avoid
3662 redundant screen redraws (and regexec()s when color support is
3663 available) whenever possible during ordinary cursor movement
3664 when the text doesn't change. Do the same for moving in
3665 do_char(), do_delete(), do_next_word(), do_prev_word(),
3666 do_search(), do_research(), and do_replace_loop. Changes to
3667 do_first_line(), do_last_line(), do_home(), do_end(),
3668 do_page_up(), do_page_down(), do_up(), do_down(), do_left(),
3669 do_right(), do_delete(), do_backspace(), do_search(),
3670 do_research(), do_replace_loop(), do_find_bracket(), and
3671 edit_refresh(). New functions do_left_void(),
3672 do_right_void(), need_horizontal_update(),
3673 need_vertical_update(), edit_scroll(), and edit_redraw(). All
3674 of these functions but the first two require the previous
3675 versions of current and/or placewewant as parameters, so that
3676 they can redraw properly when the location has changed. Also
3677 rename the int refresh in do_delete() and do_backspace() to
3678 do_refresh so as not to conflict with refresh(). (DLR)
3679 - Add some comments better explaining what is disabled in
3680 restricted mode and why. (DLR)
3681 - Since KEEP_CUTBUFFER is only used in cut.c, make it a static
3682 variable in cut.c instead of a flag, and unset it in other
3683 files via the new function cutbuffer_reset(). (DLR)
3684 - Add the ability to change the characters used to display the
3685 beginning characters of tabs and spaces via the rcfile entry
3686 "whitespace". This is disabled if nanorc support is disabled
3687 or if we're in tiny mode. Displaying the new characters is
3688 toggled on and off by Meta-P; the default is on. (Mike
3689 Frysinger; minor changes and adaptations by DLR)
3690 - Add the ability to change the closing punctuation and closing
3691 brackets used to control justification, via the rcfile
3692 entries "punct" and "brackets". (DLR)
3693 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
3694 - Make the former flag same_line_wrap use TRUE and FALSE
3695 instead of 1 and 0. (DLR)
3698 - Rearrange the NANO_SMALL #ifdef so that the code to set the
3699 MODIFIED flag in open_files->flags is included only once.
3702 - Call write_file() with nonamechange set to TRUE so that we
3703 don't erroneously change the current filename when writing a
3704 selection, and don't take a nonamechange parameter anymore
3705 since we don't use it. (DLR)
3707 - Refactor so that no recursion is needed if we try to exit with
3708 a modified file that has no name when TEMP_OPT is set. (DLR)
3709 - Add spaces to the ends of the "Overwrite" and "Different Name"
3710 prompts, for consistency. (DLR)
3712 - Call check_statblank() instead of blanking the statusbar
3713 unconditionally, for consistency. (David Benbennick)
3716 - Don't assign any handler functions to the help browser keys,
3717 as the help browser handles them all internally. (David
3720 do_first_line(), do_last_line()
3721 - Move these functions here from winio.c. (DLR)
3724 - Call blank_statusbar() and blank_bottombars() to blank out
3725 the statusbar and shortcut list in bottomwin. (DLR)
3726 - Since all of the calls to finish() use 0 for the value of
3727 sigage, and the return value of finish() is never used, make
3728 it accept and return void. (David Benbennick)
3730 - Call write_file() with nonamechange set to TRUE since we don't
3731 need to change the current filename if we're writing emergency
3734 - Removed, as it's no longer called anywhere. (David Benbennick)
3736 - Add missing "[dir]" and two missing _()'s around the strings
3737 describing the -E [dir]/--backupdir=[dir]" option. (CHAO
3740 - Call enable_signals() at the beginning and disable_signals()
3741 at the end, so that we get a SIGINT when Ctrl-C is pressed
3742 during wait() and can then call cancel_fork() properly. (DLR)
3743 do_delete(), do_enter()
3744 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3746 - Switch the last test (current != NULL or not) around to match
3747 the order of the same test in do_next_word() (current ==
3748 NULL). The results are the same either way. (DLR)
3750 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3752 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
3753 - Change the statusbar entries used in cases of failure so that
3754 they all display the actual error that occurred. (David
3756 do_int_speller(), do_alt_speller()
3757 - Make these functions return const char*'s instead of char*'s.
3760 - Remove redundant assignment. (DLR)
3762 - Remove unneeded edit_update() calls. (David Benbennick)
3763 - Convert to use an enum to specify the search type: JUSTIFY,
3764 BEGIN, or END. (DLR)
3765 - Refactor to properly do searches for beginnings of paragraphs
3766 in the same way as searches for endings of paragraphs, without
3767 needing the old (and somewhat inaccurate) recursive approach.
3770 - Remove unneeded edit_update() calls, and add a few minor
3771 efficiency tweaks. (David Benbennick)
3772 - Simplify an if statement. (DLR)
3774 - Refactor so that no recursion is needed if we try to exit with
3775 a modified file that has no name when TEMP_OPT is set. (DLR)
3776 print_numlock_warning()
3777 - Removed, as it's no longer needed and was never called
3778 anywhere after the input overhaul. (DLR)
3780 - Don't use termios and _POSIX_VDISABLE to disable keys anymore,
3781 as there's no real equivalent of it when the latter isn't
3784 - Call resetty() to get the original terminal settings back.
3786 - Rework so that nano properly redraws the screen on systems
3787 that don't have resizeterm() and/or wresize(). In curses, we
3788 now leave and immediately reenter curses mode via endwin() and
3789 refresh(), and then reinitialize all windows via
3790 window_init(). In slang, the above routine will only work if
3791 the resize made the window smaller, so we now leave and
3792 immediately reenter screen management mode via
3793 SLsmg_reset_smg() and SLsmg_init_smg(), and then reinitialize
3794 all windows via window_init(). (DLR, adapted from code in
3795 Minimum Profit 3.3.0 and mutt 1.4.2.1, respectively)
3797 - Call blank_statusbar() and blank_bottombars() to blank out
3798 the statusbar and shortcut list in bottomwin. (DLR)
3800 - If PRESERVE is set, disable flow control characters before
3801 getting input and reenable them after getting input. (DLR)
3802 disable_signals(), enable_signals(), disable_flow_control(),
3803 enable_flow_control()
3804 - New functions that allow more fine-grained control of the
3805 terminal: disabling and enabling signals without having to use
3806 _POSIX_VDISABLE and disabling and enabling flow control
3809 - Don't open the first file in quiet mode, since if we do, an
3810 error message won't be shown if it's unreadable. (DLR; found
3812 - If we've specified multiple files on the command line and
3813 multibuffer support is compiled in, turn multibuffer mode on
3814 when reading those files and turn it off afterward if it was
3815 off before. This allows us to open multiple files without
3816 having to turn multibuffer mode on at the command line or in
3817 the nanorc first, both of which are unintuitive. Multibuffer
3818 mode should only affect how the "Read File" command behaves
3820 - Remove the disabling of implementation-defined input
3821 processing, as cbreak mode appears to turn it off anyway.
3823 - After noecho(), call disable_signals() and
3824 disable_flow_control(), the latter only if PRESERVE is not
3826 - Move the savetty() call down from just after initscr() to just
3827 after the terminal is properly set up, so that we can restore
3828 it easily after a resize. (DLR)
3829 - Add missing cast to char when calling do_char(). (DLR)
3830 - Don't initialize the backup directory if we're in restricted
3831 mode, since backups are disabled then. (DLR)
3832 - Check $SPELL for an alternative spell checker if we didn't get
3833 one from the command line and/or rcfile, as Pico does. Don't
3834 do this if we're in restricted mode, since spell checking is
3835 disabled then. (DLR)
3836 - Add some cleanups for greater readability, and remove a few
3837 bits of redundant code. (DLR and David Benbennick)
3839 - Since REGEXP_COMPILED is only used in search.c, convert it
3840 from a flag to a static int there. (DLR)
3841 - Add justbegend enum, used in do_para_search(). (DLR)
3842 - Add updown enum, used in edit_scroll(). (DLR)
3844 - Remove unused xpt() and add_marked_sameline() prototypes.
3846 - Add missing #ifdefs around the nstristr() and get_mouseinput()
3849 - Move "rebinddelete" up in the list of options so that the list
3850 is in alphabetical order. (DLR)
3851 - Cosmetic reorganization of the order in which some options are
3853 - Explicitly check for rcopts[i].name's being "tabsize" to avoid
3854 a spurious error under some circumstances about tabsize's
3855 being 0 when there's no tabsize entry in the rcfile. (DLR)
3858 - Overhaul for efficiency. Also check if regcomp() failed, and
3859 if so, display "Bad regex" message on the statusbar, so that
3860 we don't have to display it separately after every call to
3861 this function. (David Benbennick)
3863 - Only check whether USE_REGEXP is set, and hence whether or not
3864 to display "[Regexp]" on the search prompt, if HAVE_REGEX_H is
3867 - Convert to properly handle strings generated by
3868 display_string() that have been used in the search prompt
3869 since 1.3.0. (David Benbennick)
3870 - Use display_string() directly to display the text that we
3871 didn't find instead of relying on statusbar() to do it
3872 indirectly, since the latter won't display its text with the
3873 user-specified whitespace characters and the former will.
3877 - New function used as an isblank() equivalent, since isblank()
3878 is a GNU extension. (DLR)
3879 nstricmp(), nstrnicmp()
3880 - Add extra blank lines for greater readability, and remove
3881 unneeded test for n's being less than zero (since it's already
3882 been tested for being greater than zero or equal to zero at
3883 that point) from nstrnicmp(). (DLR)
3885 - Rename to nstristr() to avoid a potential conflict with an
3886 existing stristr() function, and move up to just after
3887 nstrnicmp(). (DLR) David Benbennick: Tweak for efficiency.
3888 - Include and use only when strcasestr() is unavailable, since
3889 strcasestr() is a GNU extension. (DLR)
3891 - New function used as a strnlen() equivalent, since strnlen()
3892 is a GNU extension. (DLR)
3894 get_verbatim_kbinput()
3895 - Refactor the output in the DEBUG #ifdef. It didn't work
3896 properly ever since this function was changed to use an int*
3897 instead of a char*. (DLR)
3898 - When reading characters from input, properly reallocate
3899 verbatim_kbinput via (int*)nrealloc() instead of an uncast
3901 get_accepted_kbinput()
3902 - Add proper support for the keypad values and escape sequences
3903 generated by the NumLock glitch and by certain keys on the
3904 numeric keypad. (DLR)
3905 - Add an extra break and move an #endif down to fix a potential
3906 problem when NANO_SMALL is defined or KEY_RESIZE isn't, and
3907 when PDCURSES isn't defined. (DLR)
3908 get_escape_seq_kbinput()
3909 - Add proper support for the keypad values and escape sequences
3910 generated by the NumLock glitch. (DLR)
3911 - Add ignore_seq parameter. If a sequence is recognized but
3912 ignored, we will now return ERR and set ignore_seq to TRUE, and
3913 if a sequence is unrecognized, we will now return ERR and set
3914 ignore_seq to FALSE. Also, here and elsewhere, don't bother
3915 assigning ERR to retval when that's its initial value. (DLR)
3916 - Fix problem where the escape sequence for F3 on the FreeBSD
3917 console would not be interpreted properly. (DLR)
3919 - Don't ungetch() anything if there's no control key and no meta
3920 key defined in the shortcut we clicked. (DLR)
3922 - Don't display any more than MAIN_VISIBLE shortcuts. Adding
3923 justification of the entire file above made the search
3924 shortcut list longer than this and hence made the shortcuts in
3925 it so short as to be almost incomprehensible. (DLR)
3926 - Tweak for efficiency and to better handle shorter screen
3927 widths. (David Benbennick)
3928 - Restructure the if block used for the sentinel key values,
3929 dynamically allocate keystr based on the number of columns
3930 available, and make sure we can display shortcuts even when
3931 the number of available columns is too short for any complete
3934 - Don't bother padding the displayed shortcuts with spaces.
3936 - Convert len to a size_t. (DLR)
3938 - Minor cosmetic reformatting. Also remove unused int
3939 searched_later_lines. (DLR)
3941 - Removed, as it does the same thing as blank_bottombars().
3944 - New function used to blank the titlebar in topwin. (DLR)
3945 blank_statusbar_refresh()
3946 - Removed, as it's now unnecessary. (David Benbennick)
3948 - Overhaul to use display_string() to display the filename, and
3949 to better handle shorter screen widths. Also remove
3950 now-unneeded wrefresh(topwin) calls. (David Benbennick)
3951 DLR: Tweak to reserve enough space for "Modified", plus
3952 padding, in all cases, to make sure that the version message
3953 takes up no more more than 1/3 of the available width, minus
3954 padding, and to include a reset_cursor() call so that the
3955 cursor is always in the right place.
3957 - Call blank_bottombars() instead of blank_bottomwin(). (David
3960 - Overhaul for efficiency, (David Benbennick) DLR: Add
3961 reset_cursor() call to ensure that the cursor is always in the
3964 - Removed, as it's no longer called anywhere. (David Benbennick)
3966 - Remove apparently unneeded leaveok() calls. (David Benbennick)
3967 edit_refresh_clearok(), center_cursor()
3968 - Removed, as they are now unnecessary. (David Benbennick)
3970 - Don't allow "Full Justify" when in view mode. (DLR)
3972 - Call reset_cursor() just before refreshing the edit window, so
3973 that slang and other non-ncurses versions of curses will
3974 properly place the cursor back in the edit window instead of
3975 leaving it at the end of the statusbar. (DLR)
3977 - Overhaul for efficiency, and allow scrolling through the help
3978 via the arrow keys as well as the paging keys. (David
3979 Benbennick) DLR: Revert the use of the return value of
3980 curs_set() to restore the previous state of the cursor, as
3981 some curses implementations (including slang) get it wrong,
3982 and explicitly turn the cursor off where needed instead.
3984 - Use napms() instead of nanosleep(), as it does the same thing
3985 (aside from taking an argument in milliseconds instead of
3986 microseconds) and curses includes it. (DLR)
3987 - Overhaul for efficiency, and make sure the xlcredits
3988 translations are done after initialization in order to avoid
3989 an error when compiling with -pedantic. (David Benbennick)
3991 - Add a comment to encourage translators to use both native and
3992 English shortcuts, if possible. (Jordi)
3994 - Add tests for isblank(), strcasestr(), and strnlen(), and
3995 define _GNU_SOURCE so that the tests work properly. Increase
3996 the minimum required autoconf version to 2.54. (DLR)
3997 - Reformat the test programs so that they aren't packed into
3998 fewer lines than usual, so as to make them easier to read, and
3999 remove unnecessary inclusion of stdio.h in the slang test
4001 - Remove the checks for resizeterm() and wresize(), as they're
4002 no longer needed. (DLR)
4004 - Replace usage of egrep with grep -E, avoiding a XSI:ism (David
4007 - Removed question about the NumLock glitch, as it's no longer
4010 - Document restricted mode. (IO ERROR) DLR: Add minor
4011 modifications to account for the above changes.
4012 - Document the smart home key option. (DLR)
4013 - Document the use of the SPELL environment variable. (DLR)
4015 - Document the smart home key option. (DLR)
4016 - Document the whitespace option. (DLR, adapted from
4017 documentation by Mike Frysinger)
4018 - Document the punct and brackets options. (DLR)
4020 - Fix toggle inaccuracies: Meta-L now toggles line wrapping, and
4021 Meta-< and Meta-> aren't toggles. (DLR)
4022 - Document restricted mode. (IO ERROR) DLR: Add minor
4023 modifications to account for the above changes.
4024 - Fix version number inaccuracies: Search/replace history and
4025 sorting/uniqueness filtering for the internal spell checker
4026 were added in nano 1.1.99pre1. (DLR)
4027 - Document the smart home key option. (DLR)
4028 - Document the use of the SPELL environment variable. (DLR)
4030 - Add missing mouse entry, and update the nanorc sample regexes
4031 to account for the backupdir and mouse options. (DLR)
4032 - Add smarthome description. (DLR)
4033 - Document the whitespace option. (DLR, adapted from
4034 documentation by Mike Frysinger)
4036 - Increase the minimum required autoconf version to 2.54, and
4037 change the recommended automake version 1.7 to the minimum
4038 required automake version. Note that autoconf 2.54 will
4039 technically also work with automake 1.6c, but that is a CVS
4040 version as opposed to a stable release version, and automake
4041 1.7 requires at least autoconf 2.54 in any case. (DLR)
4043 - Added entry for justifying the entire file at once, since Pico
4044 can do it, and with "[DONE]" since it's already been
4047 GNU nano 1.3.2 - 2004.03.31
4049 - Change instances in the code that refresh the entire edit
4050 window when color support is enabled (in order to properly
4051 handle multi-line color regexes) to only do so when
4052 it's necessary, i.e. when COLOR_SYNTAX is set. (DLR)
4053 - Minor cosmetic tweaks to the code involving direction keys.
4054 NANO_UP_KEY and NANO_DOWN_KEY are now NANO_PREVLINE_KEY and
4055 NANO_NEXTLINE_KEY, and the help messages for them have been
4056 changed accordingly. Also remove extraneous references to
4057 NANO_DOWN_KEY in the search history shortcut entries. (DLR)
4058 - Add NANO_UNJUSTIFY_FKEY (the same as NANO_UNCUT_FKEY) to the
4059 shortcut list, and tweak the unjustify routine to use it.
4060 Also add NANO_FIRSTLINE_FKEY and NANO_LASTLINE_FKEY, and tweak
4061 the statusbar input routines to handle them and NANO_HELP_FKEY
4063 - Block SIGWINCH after setting up its handler, and only unblock
4064 and handle it when we're in a stable state, i.e. when we're
4065 waiting for input from the user. New function
4066 allow_pending_sigwinch(); changes to signal_init(),
4067 get_kbinput(), and get_verbatim_kbinput(). (DLR)
4068 - Decouple the paragraph searching code and the justifying code.
4069 Removed function do_para_operation(); new function
4070 do_para_search(); changes to do_justify(). (DLR)
4071 - Add -E/--backupdir option. When used with -B/--backup, backup
4072 files will be saved in the specified directory with their
4073 canonical pathnames encoded in their names (all '/'s replaced
4074 with '!'s). Changes to write_file(). (Martin Ehmsen) DLR:
4075 Add function init_backup_dir() to handle relative paths
4076 correctly, use get_full_path() to get the canonical pathname,
4077 and use tail() to get the filename if get_full_path() fails.
4078 - Port to the Tandem NonStop Kernel (nsr-tandem-nsk). (Tom
4079 Bates; minor tweaks by DLR)
4080 - Change some instances of boolean 0 and 1 to TRUE and FALSE.
4082 - Fix memory corruption problem occurring when answer is used as
4083 the value of def; if the realloc() of answer leads to its
4084 pointing to a different memory block, there will be a segfault
4085 when the value of def is copied into it via strcpy().
4086 (bort@alltel.net, Christian Weisgerber, David Benbennick, and
4088 - Remove the last editbot references, to avoid any potential
4089 segfaults related to them. Also remove fix_editbot(), as it's
4090 no longer needed. (David Benbennick)
4091 - Rename several variables to make their use clearer and to
4092 avoid conflicts. (DLR)
4093 - Set the input mode before turning the keypad on. (DLR)
4096 - Add parameter allow_concat to determine whether we're allowed
4097 to concatenate strings in the cutbuffer. (DLR)
4100 - Wrap one reference to NANO_EXTCMD_KEY in a NANO_SMALL #ifdef.
4102 - Save the already-typed answer when switching from "Insert
4103 File" to "Execute Command" mode via Ctrl-X, just in case we
4104 started typing a command before switching. (DLR)
4106 - Make the saving of marked status in open_files->file_flags
4107 work properly again; a tweak to the ISSET() macro in 1.3.0
4108 to make it only return 0 or 1 broke it. (DLR)
4110 - New function used to write the current marked selection to a
4111 file, split out from do_writeout(). (DLR)
4113 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick) DLR: Modify to have
4114 the current answer preserved between toggles again.
4116 - Removed, as it is only called in one place and is
4119 - Replace the filestat() call with an equivalent stat() call.
4123 - Only allow verbatim input when we're not in view mode. (DLR)
4124 - Set the associated function for unjustify to 0 instead of
4125 do_uncut_text(), since it's currently unused. (DLR)
4128 - Clarify the description for -T/--tabsize a bit. (DLR)
4130 - Remove the now-unneeded code to disable XON, XOFF, and
4131 suspend, since we now go into raw mode in
4132 get_verbatim_kbinput() and bypass them. (DLR)
4134 - Simplify and remove references to editbot so as to avoid a
4135 segfault. (David Benbennick)
4137 - Simplify and remove references to edittop. (David Benbennick)
4138 do_int_speller(), do_alt_speller(), do_spell()
4139 - Modify to write only the current selection from a file to the
4140 temporary file used for spell checking when the mark is on,
4141 and add a few miscellaneous cosmetic cleanups. (DLR)
4143 - Store the value of current_x in a size_t instead of an int,
4144 and add a few minor efficiency tweaks. (David Benbennick)
4145 - Remove comment explaining why findnextstr() is called with
4146 bracket_mode set to TRUE even though we aren't doing a bracket
4147 search, since after the above efficiency tweaks, it's now more
4148 accurately called can_display_wrap. (DLR)
4150 - Remove unneeded #ifdef. (David Benbennick)
4152 - Remove references to the now-unneeded JUSTIFY_MODE flag. (DLR)
4154 - Trap SIGQUIT in addition to turning it off via termios in
4155 main(). This is consistent with SIGINT, which we trap here
4156 and turn off via termios in main(), as well as with the
4157 associated comment. (DLR)
4159 - Set keypad() to TRUE and switch to cbreak mode just before
4160 calling siglongjmp(), in case we resized during verbatim
4163 - Move the call to raw() on systems that don't define
4164 _POSIX_VDISABLE outside the main input/output loop, as it
4165 doesn't need to be called every time through the loop. Call it
4166 instead of cbreak() on such systems, as it overrides cbreak()
4168 - Add more descriptive comments explaining the termios and
4169 curses setup routines, and turn the keypad on before setting
4170 the input mode. (DLR)
4171 - Remove stray HAVE_GETOPT_LONG #ifdefs. (DLR)
4172 - Don't call keypad() before initializing the windows it needs
4173 via window_init(). (DLR)
4175 - Move the NANO_H include guard up before the first #include.
4177 - Remove the now-unneeded JUSTIFY_MODE flag. (DLR)
4180 - Only do anything if REGEXP_COMPILED is set. (David Benbennick)
4182 - Only test if the mark is set when NANO_SMALL isn't defined.
4185 - Add some more comments and comment tweaks, don't indicate that
4186 the search has been canceled when we enter a blank string in
4187 replace mode, only call regexp_init() when USE_REGEXP is set,
4188 and return -1 instead of -3 since a canceled search and a
4189 canceled replace should be mostly equivalent. (David
4190 Benbennick) DLR: Tweak to use the old behavior if we try to
4191 search for invalid regexes.
4193 - Refactor to use a loop invariant, and tweak for greater
4194 efficiency and simplicity. Also modify so that all searches
4195 start one character after (or before, if we're doing a
4196 backwards search) the current one, as opposed to all searches
4197 except for regex searches for "^" and the like, for
4198 consistency with other searches. (David Benbennick)
4200 - Handle search_init()'s no longer returning -3 above. (David
4202 - Port the code from do_replace_loop() to skip the current line
4203 if we're searching for a regex with "^" and/or "$" in it and
4204 end up on the same line to this function. This fixes a
4205 problem where doing a forward search for "^" on a file with
4206 more than one line would erroneously stop at the magicline and
4207 indicate that that was the only occurrence. (DLR)
4209 - Port David Benbennick's efficiency tweaks and the
4210 aforementioned code ported from do_replace_loop() to this
4213 - Completely refactor for increased efficiency. (David
4216 - Use a char* parameter for the replacement string instead of
4217 last_search, and add minor efficiency tweaks. (David
4220 - Fix segfault when doing a regex replace of a string that
4221 matches inside a line (e.g. replace the "b" in "abc" with
4222 anything). (David Benbennick)
4223 - If the mark is on at the beginning of the function, turn it
4224 off and turn it back on just before returning. Also overhaul
4225 to rely on the return value of findnextstr() instead of a loop
4226 invariant, to not need to take an int* parameter, and store
4227 the beginning x-coordinate in a size_t instead of an int.
4230 - Handle search_init()'s no longer returning -3 above, and add
4231 efficiency tweaks. (David Benbennick) DLR: Tweak to follow
4232 the old behavior of adding non-blank strings entered at the
4233 "Replace: " prompt to the search history. (DLR)
4235 - Simplify the edit_update() call depending on the value of
4236 save_pos. (David Benbennick)
4238 - Add efficiency tweaks. (David Benbennick) DLR: Remove
4239 reliance on the hardcoded bracket string length; instead, only
4240 require that the bracket string length be even.
4243 - Wrap in HAVE_REGEX_H #ifdefs. (DLR)
4245 - New function used to check if a regex contains "^" and/or "$",
4246 assuming that the regex would be found if the REG_NOT(BOL|EOL)
4247 flags aren't used in the regexec() call; it replaces the
4248 direct regexec()s used before. (DLR)
4250 - Refactor for increased efficiency, and eliminate the need for
4251 the line_pos parameter. (David Benbennick)
4253 - Tweak so that when src is "", "" is allocated and returned
4254 instead of NULL. (David Benbennick)
4256 get_verbatim_kbinput()
4257 - Set keypad() to FALSE and switch to raw mode while reading
4258 input, and set it back to TRUE and go back into cbreak mode
4259 mode afterwards. (Note that if _POSIX_VDISABLE isn't defined,
4260 we don't need to change to or from raw mode since we're
4261 already in it exclusively.) This ensures that we don't end up
4262 reading in extended keypad values that are outside the ASCII
4263 range or having to deal with interrupt-generating key values.
4264 Also, with keypad() set to TRUE, xterm generates KEY_BACKSPACE
4265 when the user hits Ctrl-H, which, when cut down to ASCII
4266 range, ends up being Ctrl-G, which can be confusing. (DLR)
4267 - For consistency with get_kbinput(), use an int* to store and
4268 return the input instead of a char*, and tweak the functions
4269 that call it to handle this. (DLR)
4270 get_accepted_kbinput()
4271 - Don't use "kbinput = wgetch(win)" as a switch value. (DLR)
4272 get_escape_seq_kbinput()
4273 - Add support for the escape sequences for F1-F14 whenever
4274 possible (i.e. whenever a conflict doesn't occur), some
4275 additional comments, and a few cosmetic cleanups. (DLR)
4276 - Use switch statements instead of strncmp() to read in the long
4277 xterm sequences for Ctrl-[arrow key] and Shift-[arrow key].
4279 get_escape_seq_abcd()
4280 - A resurrected version of the old abcd() function, readded in
4281 order to simplify get_escape_seq_kbinput(). (DLR)
4283 - Interpret shortcut key values slightly more stringently when
4284 ungetch()ing them. (DLR)
4286 - Properly cast the second parameter of the strnlenpt() call to
4289 - For consistency, tweak so that scrolling always occurs when we
4290 try to move onto the "$" at the end of the line, as opposed to
4291 (a) when we move onto the "$" at the end of the line on the
4292 first page and (b) when we move onto the character just before
4293 the "$" on subsequent pages. (DLR)
4295 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
4297 - Tweak for efficiency. (David Benbennick)
4299 - Rename "tabs" to "allowtabs". (David Benbennick)
4301 - Use nanosleep() instead of usleep(). The latter is only
4302 standard under BSD, whereas the former is POSIX compliant.
4303 Accordingly, only include time.h if we use this function, i.e.
4304 if NANO_EXTRA is defined. (DLR)
4305 - Add explanatory comment. (DLR)
4307 - Change instances of "int main ()" to "int main(void)". (DLR)
4309 - Fixed inaccuracy: multibuffer mode was first in nano 1.1.0,
4311 - nano.1, nanorc.5, nano.texi
4312 - Clarify the description for -T/--tabsize a bit. (DLR)
4313 - Add -E/--backupdir description. (Martin Ehmsen; minor cosmetic
4316 - Add backupdir description. (Martin Ehmsen; minor cosmetic
4319 - Reformat to 72 characters per line, fix wording in one spot,
4320 and fix spacing and capitalization in several spots. (DLR)
4322 - Capitalization fix. (DLR)
4324 - Clarify the paragraph searching item, and add item for
4325 filename searches in the file browser. (DLR)
4327 GNU nano 1.3.1 - 2004.01.09
4329 - Minor overhaul and abstraction of the lowest level of mouse
4330 input, mostly adapted from the code in do_mouse() that handles
4331 clicking on the shortcut list. New function do_mouseinput();
4332 changes to do_mouse(). (DLR) David Benbennick: Add a few
4333 efficiency/extensibility tweaks.
4334 - Modify the shortcut structure so that instead of having two
4335 miscellaneous key values (misc1 and misc2), there is one key
4336 value reserved for function keys (func_key) and one
4337 miscellaneous key value (misc), and tweak the
4338 shortcut-handling code to deal with this. These changes allow
4339 NANO_OPEN(PREV|NEXT)_ALTKEY to work properly when added to the
4340 shortcut entries for NANO_OPEN(PREV|NEXT)_KEY. Also remove
4341 the values in the shortcut list and elsewhere that were made
4342 redundant by the low-level input overhaul, use toupper()
4343 instead of subtracting 32 from values for greater code
4344 readability, and eliminate use of adding 32 to values when
4345 testing for toggles, as get_kbinput_accepted() converts toggle
4346 values to lowercase before returning them. (DLR)
4347 - Remove the workarounds for missing KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN, as
4348 they appear to be holdovers of the old way of denoting the
4349 search history shortcuts; if they aren't defined, KEY_LEFT and
4350 KEY_RIGHT probably shouldn't work either, and all four appear
4351 to be standard keys in termcap/terminfo in any case. Add new
4352 special sentinel key values NANO_NO_KEY (for no shortcut key)
4353 and NANO_HISTORY_KEY (for search history keys, both Up and
4354 Down), modify the shortcut list to use them, and modify the
4355 shortcut display routines to handle them. Also modify the
4356 shortcut list code to not treat non-control character values
4357 of val as Meta-sequences, and fix dependencies on that
4358 behavior. Also rename several variables: "alt" -> "meta",
4359 "altval" -> "metaval". (DLR)
4360 - Hook up the verbatim input functions so that verbatim input
4361 can be used in the edit window. New function
4362 do_verbatim_input(); changes to do_char(). (DLR) Additional
4363 minor tweaks to do_char() by David Benbennick.
4364 - Clarify the description of the --rebinddelete option. (DLR)
4365 - Miscellaneous comment tweaks, and copyright year updates in
4366 the comments and in do_credits(). (DLR)
4368 - Overhaul to increase efficiency and add various cleanups.
4369 Changes to add_to_cutbuffer(), cut_marked_segment(), and
4370 do_uncut_text(). (David Benbennick)
4372 check_operating_dir()
4373 - Add an assert to ensure that full_operatingdir isn't NULL,
4374 a fix for reporting nonexistent (incomplete) directory names
4375 as being outside the operating directory when tab completion
4376 is being used, and cosmetic cleanups. (David Benbennick)
4378 - New function used to create a copy of a file, split out from
4379 do_writeout(). (David Benbennick)
4381 - Completely overhauled to properly ignore appending/prepending
4382 to symlinks when NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS is defined, to properly
4383 support writing a selection to a file under the changed
4384 cutting code, to have more concise error messages, to add
4385 various cleanups, and so on. (David Benbennick)
4387 - Prompt the user if we're trying to save an existing file (and
4388 not just a selection of it) under a different name. (DLR;
4389 suggested by Jean-Philippe Guérard)
4390 - Overhaul the code used to write a selection of a file to
4391 temporarily set fileage and filebot to the top and bottom of
4392 the selection and then call write_file(), instead of following
4393 the old hackish behavior with cut_marked_segment() (which
4394 won't work after the cutting code changes anyway). (David
4395 Benbennick) DLR: Tweak to not add an extra blank line to the
4396 end of the written selection if the cursor is at the beginning
4397 of the last line of the selection.
4398 open_prevfile(), open_nextfile()
4399 - For consistency with the rest of the multibuffer code, change
4400 "No more open files" to "No more open file buffers". (DLR)
4402 - Allow '?' to open the help browser, and readd the ability of
4403 'G'/'g' to open the "Go to Directory" prompt (which was
4404 erroneously removed before), for compatibility with Pico.
4408 - Allow WHEREIS_NEXT_KEY to be used in view mode. (DLR)
4411 - Add comment explaining why findnextstr() is called with
4412 bracket_mode set to TRUE even though we aren't doing a bracket
4415 - Convert to use the new low-level input functions. (DLR)
4417 - Remove unused variable option_index. (DLR)
4418 - Fix omission of NANO_NO_KEY in the shortcut list scanning
4420 - Remove now-unnecessary initialization of kbinput. (DLR)
4422 - Comment additions and cosmetic tweaks. (DLR)
4424 findnextstr(), do_replace_loop()
4425 - Fix potential infinite loops and other misbehavior when doing
4426 beginning-of-line or end-of-line regex replacements ("^", "$",
4427 and "^$"). Add a no_sameline parameter to findnextstr(), and
4428 set it in the calls in do_replace_loop() when such regexes are
4429 found, so that such regexes are only found once per line.
4430 Also change length_change from a long to an int; size_t is
4431 unsuitable due to its being unsigned. (DLR; found by Mike
4432 Frysinger and DLR) David Benbennick: Add a few minor cleanups
4433 to do_replace_loop().
4435 get_kbinput(), get_accepted_kbinput()
4436 - Don't pass in the value of the REBIND_DELETE flag anymore.
4437 Instead, handle it directly inside the functions. (DLR)
4438 get_accepted_kbinput()
4439 - Translate Ctrl-8 into NANO_DELETE_KEY (or NANO_BACKSPACE_KEY
4440 if REBIND_DELETE is set), since it apparently is generated
4441 sometimes even when keypad() is TRUE. (DLR)
4442 - Translate KEY_SLEFT into NANO_BACK_KEY and KEY_SRIGHT into
4443 NANO_FORWARD_KEY, since they are sometimes generated by
4444 Shift-Left and Shift-Right. (DLR)
4446 - Tweak to make it slightly more readable. (DLR)
4447 get_verbatim_kbinput()
4448 - Modify to take an extra parameter indicating if we should
4449 interpret ASCII codes or not. (DLR)
4450 get_escape_seq_kbinput()
4451 - Expand to deal with more broken terminals that don't generate
4452 keypad values. Support the escape sequences for Insert,
4453 Delete, Home, End, PageUp, and PageDown, [arrow key],
4454 Ctrl-[arrow key], and Shift-[arrow key] when needed in the
4455 Linux console, the FreeBSD console, the Hurd console, xterm,
4456 rxvt, and Eterm. Also, use get_verbatim_kbinput(), with ASCII
4457 interpretation disabled, to read in the sequences. (DLR)
4458 get_skip_tilde_kbinput()
4459 - Removed, as it is unneeded due to the expansion of
4460 get_escape_seq_kbinput(). (DLR)
4462 - Modify to take an extra parameter indicating if we should
4463 ungetch() the key equivalents of shortcuts we click on or not.
4466 - Properly interpret the Meta key value in misc if we hit it at
4467 the statusbar prompt. (DLR)
4469 - Add a few efficiency/extensibility tweaks. (David Benbennick)
4470 - Convert to use the new low-level input functions, and remove
4471 two last hardcoded widths left after the above tweaks. (DLR)
4472 do_replace_highlight()
4473 - Display a highlighted space if the word length is zero, so
4474 that we can see zero-length regexes we're replacing. (DLR;
4475 suggested by Mike Frysinger)
4477 - Check for glib 2.x and then 1.2.x if we need glib. (DLR)
4479 - Add question explaining how verbatim input works, as well as a
4480 few minor fixes. (DLR)
4482 - Add nano version numbers (minus any "-cvs" suffixes). (DLR)
4484 - Update for the 1.3 branch of nano. (DLR)
4486 - Reformat so all lines are limited to 72 columns, add a few
4487 typo fixes, and make a few minor cosmetic cleanups. (DLR)
4489 - Add Danilo Segan, for the Serbian translation.
4491 GNU nano 1.3.0 - 2003.10.22
4493 - Complete overhaul and abstraction of the lowest level of
4494 keyboard input, mostly rewritten but incorporating a few bits
4495 from the old functions and adding support for Pico's Esc Esc
4496 [three-digit decimal ASCII code] input method. New functions
4497 get_kbinput(), get_verbatim_kbinput(), get_ignored_kbinput(),
4498 get_accepted_kbinput(), get_ascii_kbinput(),
4499 get_escape_seq_kbinput(), and get_skip_tilde_kbinput(). These
4500 should work properly on FreeBSD (due to code and input
4501 provided by Lee Nelson and Wouter van Hemel, respectively).
4503 - The -K/--keypad command line/rcfile option has been removed,
4504 and keypad() is now always TRUE. keypad_on() in winio.c and
4505 the check for _use_keypad in configure.ac have both been
4507 - The -d/--rebinddelete command line/rcfile option, equivalent
4508 to Pico's -d, has been added. It is intended to work around
4509 the problem with Backspace/Delete confusion on some terminals,
4510 notably FreeBSD; if your Backspace key acts like Delete, this
4511 option will fix that. (DLR)
4512 - Remove unneeded breaks at the ends of default: clauses. (DLR)
4513 - Add the ability to repeat the last search without prompting
4514 via Meta-W, and move the line wrapping toggle to Meta-L. New
4515 function do_research(). (Wouter van Hemel)
4516 - Added the ability to move to the beginning or end of the
4517 paragraph, which Pico has via ^W^W (previous paragraph)
4518 and ^W^O (next paragraph). Changes to do_justify(); new
4519 functions do_para_operation(), do_para_begin(), and
4520 do_para_end(). Note that the last three functions are
4521 disabled if justification is disabled. (DLR)
4522 - Make sure the "historylog" option isn't included at all if
4523 NANO_SMALL is defined. (DLR)
4524 - Source reorganization: move code to src/, docs to doc/.
4526 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
4527 - Since SAMELINEWRAP is only used in nano.c, make it a static
4528 variable in nano.c instead of a flag, and surround all
4529 wrap_reset() calls with DISABLE_WRAPPING #ifdefs. (DLR)
4530 - Change enum "topmidbotnone" to "topmidnone", as there's no
4531 BOTTOM option anymore. (DLR)
4532 - Split out the string-displaying routine from update_line()
4533 into a separate function; convert the edit window, statusbar
4534 display, and statusbar prompt to use it, so that they can all
4535 properly display control characters and tabs; free and NULL
4536 the backup search string in one place in the search code
4537 instead of several; and do some other minor refactoring of
4538 related display functions to simplify them. New functions
4539 mark_order() and display_string(); new macro charmove();
4540 changes to actual_x(), strnlenpt(), blank_bottombars(),
4541 blank_edit(), get_page_start(), edit_add(), update_line(),
4542 statusbar(), and do_replace_highlight(). (David Benbennick)
4543 DLR: Add minor cosmetic tweaks, add missing NANO_SMALL #ifdef
4544 around the text for a backwards search in the refactored code,
4545 and enclose dump_buffer() and dump_buffer_reverse() in one
4546 ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef instead of two.
4547 - Convert memmove() function calls to charmove() macro calls, as
4548 the former all work on char*'s. (DLR)
4549 - Miscellaneous #define cleanups: only include the prototype for
4550 and definition of wrap_at if wrapping and/or justification are
4551 enabled, remove duplicate wrap_at prototype, and define
4552 DISABLE_MOUSE if NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION isn't defined in nano.h
4553 instead of all over the code. (DLR)
4554 - Autogenerate the html versions of the manpages in the
4555 Makefile.am's in doc/man/, make sure that they're properly
4556 installed via "make dist", and make sure that "make distcheck"
4557 works too. Also be sure to set EXTRA_DIST properly. (Jordi,
4558 DLR and Jeff Bailey)
4561 - After we've read in a file and possibly converted it from
4562 DOS/Mac format, set fileformat back to 0 to prevent erroneous
4563 conversion messages when we read other files in. (DLR)
4565 - Some of the Pico compatibility options in the file browser
4566 that don't work properly for current Pico have been removed.
4567 Backspace, 'g', 'l', 'q', and 'u' are invalid. 'd' deletes
4568 the highlighted file, and 'r' renames the highlighted file;
4569 neither of these are implemented. (DLR)
4572 - Change the message for the line wrapping toggle from "Auto
4573 wrap" to "Auto line wrap", to more clearly associate it with
4576 - Change multibuffer-enabled references to
4577 opening/closing/toggling the previous/next loaded file to
4578 toggling/switching to/closing the previous/next file buffer,
4579 for consistency with other references. (DLR)
4582 - Set keypad() to TRUE regardless of whether PDCurses is being
4583 used, as Meta-X apparently turns it off even under ncurses.
4586 - Vastly simplify, and remove dependency on page_up(). (David
4589 - Document the support for Esc Esc [character]'s being
4590 interpreted as Ctrl-[character], and the support for Pico's
4591 Esc Esc [three-digit decimal ASCII code] input method. (DLR)
4593 - Toggle MARK_ISSET at the beginning of the function instead of
4594 setting it in one place and unsetting it in another place.
4597 - Use handle_hupterm() to handle SIGHUP and SIGTERM so we can
4598 properly deal with them while nano is suspended. (DLR; problem
4599 found by David Benbennick)
4601 - Removed, as it's unneeded due to the low-level input overhaul.
4604 - Define KEY_RESIZE and KEY_SUSPEND as -1 when slang is used, as
4605 slang has no equivalent of either. When nano is compiled with
4606 slang support, resizing the window doesn't generate
4607 KEY_RESIZE, and pressing Ctrl-Z to suspend nano at the Linux
4608 console with keypad(TRUE) generates Ctrl-Z instead of
4609 KEY_SUSPEND, both unlike ncurses. (DLR)
4610 - Define KEY_RESIZE as -1 if it isn't defined, as it isn't in
4611 the curses library included with SunOS 5.7-5.9. Also define
4612 KEY_SUSPEND as -1 if it isn't defined, in case it isn't in
4613 more than just Slang. (DLR)
4614 - Define all potentially missing keys as different negative
4615 values (ERR is -1, so use -2, -3, etc.) so as to avoid having
4616 duplicate case values when keys are missing. (DLR)
4618 - Remove unneeded inclusion of stdio.h, make various cleanups,
4619 and preserve the cursor's coordinates when paging up and down.
4620 (David Benbennick) DLR: Readd the ability to behave the old
4621 way while paging, make it so the new behavior is only used in
4622 smooth-scrolling mode, and modify page_down() to always go
4623 down a full page (even when there's less than one page of text
4624 left) for consistency.
4626 - Removed due to rewrite of movement functions. (David
4629 - Surround the do_prev_word() and do_next_word() prototypes with
4630 NANO_SMALL #ifdefs, since the actual functions aren't included
4634 - Generate an error if we try to use a bright background color
4635 in a nanorc file. (DLR; found by Brand Huntsman)
4636 - Make sure all rcfile error messages are capitalized, for
4639 get_verbatim_kbinput()
4640 - Fix a silly memory corruption bug that would occur when trying
4641 to read a sequence of more than one key verbatim. (DLR)
4642 get_accepted_kbinput()
4643 Handle Ctrl-{ to Ctrl-~ correctly, and drop support for
4644 converting Esc ` to Esc Space, since making Meta-[key]
4645 correspond to Ctrl-[key] in all cases is inconsistent due to
4646 the different natures of Contol and Meta key sequences. (DLR)
4648 - Call edit_update() with TOP instead of CENTER; both do the
4649 same thing, but it works faster with TOP. (DLR)
4651 - Don't let the user type in ASCII 127 at the statusbar prompt.
4654 - Fix problem with the available space for a filename on the
4655 titlebar's being short by one. (DLR)
4657 - Fix problems with the marking highlight's being drawn
4658 improperly in some cases. (DLR)
4660 - Tweak for efficiency and remove the fix_editbot() call. (David
4663 - Update the copyright years to "1999-2003", to match those
4664 given in the rest of the code. (DLR)
4666 - Change instances of "GNU Nano" to "GNU nano" for consistency.
4668 - nano.1, nanorc.5, nano.texi:
4669 - Change all instances of $SYSCONFDIR to SYSCONFDIR, since
4670 SYSCONFDIR is set at compile time and can't be overridden by
4671 setting SYSCONFDIR in the environment. (David Benbennick)
4672 - Remove -K/--keypad, and document -d/--rebinddelete. (DLR)
4673 - Document the support for Esc Esc [character]'s being
4674 interpreted as Ctrl-[character], and the support for Pico's
4675 Esc Esc [three-digit decimal ASCII code] input method, if
4677 - French translation by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
4678 - nano.1.html, nanorc.5.html:
4679 - Regenerated. (DLR)
4681 - Remove duplicate "historylog" entry, remove "keypad" entry,
4682 and add "rebinddelete" entry. (DLR)
4683 - Update and add comments to the regexes for nanorc files.
4685 - Fix an attempt at a bright background color in the sample Java
4686 source regexes. (DLR)
4687 - Since tabs are shown as groups of spaces, they are interpreted
4688 as such when parsed by color regexes. Accordingly, simplify
4689 regexes that handle both spaces and tabs to just handle
4690 spaces, as the results are the same. (DLR)
4692 - Updated to show 1.2/1.3 maintainers.
4694 - 1.3 tree forks here
4696 GNU nano 1.2.2 - 2003.08.11
4698 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
4699 - Change uncast nrealloc()s assigned to char pointers/arrays to
4700 charealloc()s, and cast all other nrealloc()s and all
4701 nmalloc()s. (David Benbennick and DLR)
4702 - Remove gettext marks from all debug messages. Good for developers,
4703 better for translators. (Jordi)
4704 - Add translator comments on strings that should be short, like in
4705 status bar strings, etc. (Jordi)
4708 - Tweak to avoid a potential problem when strp is non-NULL but
4709 *strp is NULL. (David Benbennick)
4710 nstricmp(), nstrnicmp()
4711 - Add these functions, equivalent to strcasecmp() and
4712 strncasecmp(), and convert nano to use them when strcasecmp()
4713 and/or strncasecmp() are unavailable. (DLR)
4716 - Get rid of keypad_on() call for bottomwin, which should not be
4719 - Fix problem with search history where a temporary string
4720 added at the bottom of the history (but which was not in the
4721 history) would not be preserved after scrolling down to the
4722 blank bottom entry and then scrolling back up. (DLR)
4723 - Fix problem where pressing down,up,down does not blank the
4724 search prompt but keeps the previous search (DLR).
4725 - Handle Alt-[-F and H (DLR, fixed home and end not working with
4728 - Change the program used to detect a broken regexec() function
4729 so that it works properly, using information found at
4730 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2001-06/msg00015.html.
4733 - Revised comment explaining the non-escaping of quotes to cover
4734 non-escaping of all shell-interpreted characters. (DLR)
4735 - Fixes to the descriptions and examples in the comments, and
4736 changes to some default values. (David Benbennick and DLR)
4737 - Add regexes for Perl syntax. (Richard Smith, tweaked for
4738 greater efficiency by David Benbennick)
4739 - Add regexes for Java source syntax. (David Benbennick)
4740 Regex for C++-style comments (colored the same way as C-style
4741 comments) added by DLR.
4743 - Added Laurentiu Buzdugan, for Romanian.
4744 - Added Geir Helland, for Norwegian BokmĂĄl.
4746 - Move the items for nano 1.2 to the "Old Requests" section,
4747 and mark color syntax highlighting as done. (David Benbennick)
4749 - Added question about nano's not showing color when it's
4750 compiled with color support. (DLR; suggested by Jordi)
4752 - Formatting improvements by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
4753 - Minor fixes by DLR.
4754 - nano.1.html, nanorc.5.html:
4755 - Regenerated from nano.1 and nanorc.5. (DLR)
4757 GNU nano 1.2.1 - 2003.04.19
4759 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
4760 - Work around broken regexec() on some systems that segfaults
4761 when passed an empty string. This is known to be in glibc
4762 2.2.3. New function regexec_safe(). (David Benbennick)
4763 - Fix various bugs with search string history logging: don't
4764 print a broken error message and freeze if ~/.nano_history is
4765 unreadable, actually show an error message in save_history()
4766 if ~/.nano_history is unwritable, and prevent ~/.nano_history
4767 from being completely overwritten by save_history() if it's
4768 unreadable but writable. (David Benbennick)
4769 - Only unset KEEP_CUTBUFFER in main() when we do something other
4770 than cut text in the main input loop, instead of unsetting it
4771 all over the place (which, as written, didn't handle cases
4772 like a cut followed by M-Space properly). Also, instead of
4773 checking for keyhandled's not being set inside the for loops,
4774 do it in if blocks surrounding the for loops to increase
4775 efficiency. (David Benbennick) DLR: Also unset KEEP_CUTBUFFER
4776 if we hit a shortcut key other than the one for cutting text.
4777 - Make it so a marked cut immediately followed by an unmarked
4778 cut tacks the latter's text onto the end of the former's text
4779 instead of putting it on a new line, as Pico does. (DLR)
4780 - Convert instances of "(char *)nrealloc()" to the macro
4781 charealloc(), which does the same thing. (DLR)
4782 - Change justify_mode from a boolean int to a flag (DLR).
4785 - Tweak where KEEP_CUTBUFFER is set so that a marked cut
4786 immediately followed by an unmarked cut preserves the
4787 cutbuffer between the two. (David Benbennick) DLR: Also
4788 properly set KEEP_CUTBUFFER in tiny mode.
4790 - If we're about to uncut on the magicline, always make a new
4791 magicline in advance, as Pico does. (DLR)
4794 - Simplify the #ifdef used to enable file insertion in view mode
4795 if multibuffer support has been compiled in. (DLR)
4798 - If we shave spaces off the end of the line, make sure totsize
4799 is properly updated. (DLR; much simplified by David
4802 - Simplify #ifdefs relating to HAVE_STRCASECMP and
4803 HAVE_STRNCASECMP. (David Benbennick)
4806 - Removed, with all instances replaced with display_main_list(),
4807 since with the removal of all the scattered calls to
4808 SET(KEEP_CUTBUFFER), that function was all that was left of
4811 - If a matching bracket wasn't found, call update_line() after
4812 setting current and current_x back to their original values,
4813 in case current_x's original value is greater than the width
4814 of the screen. (DLR)
4817 - Remove a few unnecessary breaks occurring immediately after
4818 gotos, and properly interpret the up and down arrow keys when
4819 ALT_KEYPAD is set. (DLR)
4821 - Enable autodetection of broken regexec(). (DLR) Re-added
4822 regex.h check to ensure compile under Debian w/autoconf 1.6.
4824 - Update obsolete 1.1.x information.
4826 - Fix typo. (David Benbennick)
4828 - Update RPM links for nano 1.2.x. (DLR)
4830 GNU nano 1.2.0 - 2003.02.19
4832 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
4835 - If the file we're loading has already been detected as a DOS
4836 or Mac formatted file, don't turn on NOCONVERT if we find
4837 binary chars in it. This is because if it's detected as
4838 DOS/Mac format, at least one line has already been converted,
4839 so setting NOCONVERT (which is supposed to signal that none
4840 of the file should be converted) makes no sense. (DLR)
4843 - Fix ugly behavior when wrapping spaces at the end of long
4844 words (David Benbennick).
4846 - Fix formatting error and update copyright year (Jordi).
4847 - Several enhancements (David Benbennick).
4849 GNU nano 1.1.99pre3 - 2003.02.13
4851 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
4852 - Fix globals and externs such that nano will compile with
4853 DISABLE_SPELLER (David Benbennick).
4854 - Fix unreasonable fill values by wrapping at length 0 instead
4855 of erroring out, and don't start up if the window size is too
4856 small but fill is set reasonably. Changes to
4857 nano.c:global_init(), window_init(), and handle_sigwinch().
4858 New macro MIN_EDITOR_COLS replaces MIN_FILL_LENGTH
4860 - Change ngettext macro to P_(), to avoid a clash with the
4861 reserved C __ identifier (Jordi).
4862 - Memory leak fixes for files.c:do_insertfile(),do_browser(),
4863 nano.c:do_spell(), and search.c:do_replace() (David
4865 - Remove do_preserve_msg, as using -p still gives Pico-style
4866 string behavior, so an annoying message every invocation is
4867 probably unneeded (all cheer).
4868 - Change resetpos function to be global (now called
4869 resetstatuspos. Fixes annoying but small odd problem with
4870 cursor placement when inserting a file. This needs to be done
4871 better in 1.3 (originally by David Lawrence Ramsey). Added
4874 cwd_tab_completion()
4875 - Memory leak fix (David Benbennick).
4877 - Fix assumption that matches is null terminated (David
4880 - Fix segfault on loading huge strings from history file
4882 load_history(), save_history()
4883 - Changed to look at $HOME before getpwuid(geteuid()), see
4884 details in comment for rcfile.c:do_rcfile().
4885 real_dir_from_tilde()
4886 - Change check for the running user's home dir to use
4887 getpwuid(geteuid()) rather than a getpwent() loop
4888 (suggested by Jordi).
4891 - Fix incorrect return value on short lines (David Benbennick).
4893 - Fix line lengths not being computed properly, causes display
4894 glitches most noticeable with < 20 rows. New function
4895 nano.c:line_len(). (David Benbennick).
4897 - Add regfree() to quote regex (David Benbennick).
4898 - Only copy previous indent if AUTOINDENT is set (David
4901 - Fix untranslated message (David Benbennick).
4903 - Fix isspace() call to operate on int.
4905 - Fix crashing in do_help when COLS < 23 (David Benbennick).
4907 - Fix nano not compiling with ENABLE_RCFILE and DISABLE_TABCOMP
4909 - Silence annoying compiler messages about clobbering and
4910 uninitialized variables by moving variable inits to the top
4911 of main() and re-initializing them after the sigsetjmp().
4914 - Don't bomb after invalid color and print bad color name
4916 colortoint, parse_colors()
4917 - Don't add strings with invalid fg colors at all.
4919 - Revert (somewhat) previous behavior of looking at
4920 $HOME, and only run getpw* if it is NULL. Most *nix programs
4921 seem to only care about $HOME, and at the user-level
4922 getpw* may not be reliable (and its slower).
4925 - Only goto_abort() if we *didnt* abort the command, making
4926 the function seem horribly misnamed ;-) (David Benbennick).
4928 browser_init(), striponedir(), do_browse_from()
4929 - Various memory leak fixes (David Benbennick).
4930 do_yesno(), do_help()
4931 - Add defined(NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION) to macro so systems that
4932 don't understand MEVENT will compile.
4934 - Remove unnecessary reset of x since it is now handled
4935 elsewhere (David Lawrence Ramsey).
4937 - Always blank the statusbar on exit (David Benbennick).
4938 - nano.1, nano.1.html:
4939 - Add initialization file comments, change some options from
4940 bracketed to underlined to emphasize that they are not
4942 - Add SEE ALSO section (Jordi).
4943 - Moved nano.1 color and syntax sections to nanorc, pointed
4944 nano.1 to nanorc.5 for initialization file. Changed
4945 nanorc.5 variables to be italics to match nano.1. Added
4946 nanorc.5.html to CVS tree.
4948 - Add nanorc manpage, with descriptions of all available commands
4951 - Make nanorc entry less tolerant of invalid colors.
4953 - Change default flags to --enable-all.
4955 - Add Kalle Kivimaa and Kalle Olavi Niemitalo, for Finnish (Jordi).
4957 - Add upgrading information document for 1.0 users (Jordi).
4959 GNU nano 1.1.99pre2 - 2003.02.03
4961 - Changed some translatable debug messages to use %s
4962 instead of the function name, and removed gettext from
4963 two strings that had no actual words in them that
4964 should be translated. Suggested originally by
4966 - Fix subexpression replacement to work consistently.
4967 Affects search.c:replace_regexp() and
4968 utils.c:strstrwrapper() (David Benbennick).
4969 - Fix cursor position being saved when escaping out
4970 of nanogetstr with keys like ^Y and ^V. New arg
4971 resetpos to nanogetstr(), added static int
4972 resetpos in statusq() (bug found by DLR).
4973 - Fix constant curos updates from obliterating other
4974 system messages, and fix statusbar message length.
4975 Affects files.c:load_open_file(), nano.c:main(),
4976 search.c:findnextstr(), winio.c:statusbar() and
4977 do_cursorpos() (David Benbennick).
4978 - Fix nano crashing when searching/replacing an invalid
4979 regex (try "^*"). Changed regexp_init() to return
4980 1 or 0 based on regcomp()'s return value and search_init
4981 to exit with an error message (sorry Jordi!). Added
4982 another check when using last_search instead of answer.
4983 - Move regcomp into rcfile.c rather than each display refresh
4984 of winio.c. New function rcfile.c:nregcomp().
4985 This fixes much of nano's resource hogging behavior
4986 in syntax higlighting. (David Benbennick).
4987 - Fix justify failing for certain lines, new function
4988 nano.c:breakable() (David Benbennick).
4989 - Fix screen getting trashed on signals nano can catch
4990 (TERM and HUP). New global variable curses_ended,
4991 changes to winio.c:statusbar() and nano.c:die()
4995 - Fix incorrect cursor location when cutting long lines
4998 - Set a default PATH_MAX for getcwd() etc calls (David
5001 - Fix path checking to fix bad paths, escaping
5002 the operating directory, new function readable_dir() (David
5005 - Fix incorrect path check for check_operating_dir()
5007 - Fix goto directory operating dir check and tilde expansion
5009 - Even more checks and operating dir fixes (David Benbennick).
5011 - Add some more checks and fix recursion when toggling
5012 multibuffer (David Benbennick).
5014 - Fix FD leak with file load error (David Benbennick).
5016 - Revert the fix for the supposed minor logic error from before;
5017 it was keeping some updates from happening when they should,
5018 which was leading to segfaults with both multibuffer and view
5019 mode on. (DLR; found by David Benbennick)
5021 - Fix nrealloc return value being ignored (David Benbennick).
5022 - Fix off-by-one bug causing write to unallocated memory
5025 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
5026 - Fix compiling with DEBUG and multibuffer (David Benbennick).
5029 - Remove unneeded check_statblank() (David Benbennick).
5030 do_int_spell_fix(), do_int_speller()
5031 - Fix crashes with mark position, current_x position,
5032 and edit_update args (David Benbennick).
5034 - Unset KEEP_CUTBUFFER so nano won't crash with subsequent
5035 ^K cuts and justifies (David Benbennick).
5037 - Fix the mouse code to work with lines longer than COLS and
5038 with the proper positioning, including special characters
5041 - Unsplit error message into a single fprintf call (Jordi).
5043 - Call load_file with arg 0 for insert, as we aren't really
5044 doing an insert, allows new_file() to run if we open a
5045 non-file at startup.
5047 - Remove gettext markings from -p/--preserve (Jordi).
5048 - Revamp -H option message to fit in 80 column terminal.
5050 - Fix leaking *WINDOWs (no pun intended) (David Benbennick).
5052 do_search(), do_replace_loop()
5053 - Fix edit_update call to use CENTER instead of current_x
5054 (related to David Benbennick's fixes for spelling).
5056 - Fix various bugs having to do with replace string length
5057 and positioning (David Benbennick).
5059 - Fix cursor being above as well as below the current screen
5063 - Change strcpy of gettext() "Up" string to strncpy of max
5064 width 8, to stop stupid strcpy crash.
5066 - Fix mouse interaction bugs with yes/no prompt (David Benbennick).
5068 - Change comment to say magenta instead of purple.
5070 GNU nano 1.1.99pre1 - 2003.01.17
5072 - New date format for NEWS and ChangeLog.
5073 - Completely removed PICO_MODE, as with the search/replace
5074 history patch we should have the extended functionality we can
5075 without being incompatible with Pico. Removed all code for
5076 different search/replace string editing and alternate shortcut
5077 list. I'm sure I won't even have to ask for feedback on this
5079 - Add in Pico's -p flag, (-p, --preserve). To preserve the XON
5080 and XOFF keys (^Q and ^S). Add warning if we invoke -p and
5081 add checks for using --preserve (to skip warning) and --pico
5082 (to force showing it). New flag PRESERVE, function
5083 do_preserve_msg(), changes to main(), signal_init().
5084 - Search history and replace history up/down cursor arrows,
5085 w/history tab completion, not available w/NANO_SMALL. Changes
5086 to statusq(), others (Ken Tyler). Added shortcut to
5087 search/replace shortcuts so people will know it's there,
5088 forced KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN defs in nano.h (Chris, in case
5089 blame needs to be placed later). Minor fixes by DLR: allow ^P
5090 and ^N as alternatives to the up and down arrows, make sure
5091 the "Up" shortcut is displayed properly in the help menu,
5092 remove a few bits of unneeded and/or warning-generating code,
5093 and fix some missing statusq() prompts with --enable-tiny.
5094 - Added search/replace history log. Flag -H, --historylog.
5095 Flags HISTORY_CHANGED and HISTORYLOG (only room for one more
5096 flag!), added entries in nanorc.sample, new functions
5097 log_history and save_history (Ken Tyler).
5098 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
5099 - Forward-ported Chris' --disable-wrapping-as-root option from
5100 1.0.9. Per Jordi's suggestions, have it override
5101 $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc but not ~/.nanorc. (DLR)
5102 - Change all references to /etc/nanorc in the documentation to
5103 $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc. (DLR)
5104 - Minor cosmetic tweaks to the ngettext() macro, and fix to
5105 properly detect systems lacking ngettext() and correctly
5106 compile on them; the previous fix didn't work. (DLR)
5107 - Fix problems with some code sections' not being #ifdef'ed out
5108 when they should be, or being #ifdef'ed out improperly. (David
5110 - Change FOLLOW_SYMLINKS to NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS, and rework the
5111 associated logic accordingly, throughout the code. (David
5113 - Rework #ifdefs to not include mouse_init() at all if
5114 DISABLE_MOUSE is defined or NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION isn't. (DLR)
5115 - For consistency, change many references of (!x) to (x == NULL)
5116 and (x) to (x != NULL). (DLR)
5117 - Define KEY_IC properly (and KEY_DC more portably) when slang
5118 support is enabled, and remove the hack to work around the
5119 former's not being defined. (David Benbennick and DLR)
5120 - Miscellaneous tweaks to update_color() calls, to make sure
5121 they're called at the right times and that refreshes are done
5122 afterwards only when needed. (David Benbennick)
5123 - Renamed [have_]past_editbuff [have_]search_offscreen. (DLR)
5124 - Add the "preserve" option to the nanorc file, to match
5125 nanorc.sample. (DLR)
5126 - Fixed awful scrolling in do_int_speller. Problem was
5127 findnextstr() calling edit_update(), though screen updating
5128 is not its business. Added checks in do_search() and
5129 do_replace_loop() to do the checks. It really should not be
5130 done here, as some function in winio.c should handle this,
5131 but I can't seem to find a good place to put this check.
5132 - Updated all copyright notices to say 2003 rather than 2002, as
5133 nearly all the source files have been worked on this year
5136 - Added tr and eu to ALL_LINGUAS (Jordi).
5137 - Fix now inaccurate description of --enable-tiny's effects; it
5138 no longer disables NLS support. (DLR)
5139 - Fix typo. (David Benbennick)
5140 - Check for strcasecmp() and strncasecmp(), since they are
5141 apparently only standard under BSD. (DLR)
5142 - Small cleanups. Add copyright header, add autopoint support and
5143 define bug report address and full package name in AC_INIT. Move
5144 ALL_LINGUAS to po/LINGUAS, recommended place for gettext 0.11.
5145 - Added --enable-all option to compile in all the extra stuff
5146 we'd normally need extra flags for.
5149 - Remove an unneeded edit_refresh() call after do_colorinit().
5153 - Fix a memory corruption problem caused by accessing edittop
5154 after it was freed but before it was reset to a sane value
5155 from current. (David Benbennick)
5157 - If uncutting more than one line of unmarked text at editbot,
5158 don't center the screen, since Pico doesn't. (DLR)
5159 - If uncutting previously unmarked text, uncut to end if we're
5160 not at the beginning of the line, and set placewewant to 0 if
5161 we are. This matches Pico's behavior. (DLR)
5164 - Remove unneeded wmove() call. (David Benbennick)
5166 - Miscellaneous cleanups. (David Benbennick)
5168 - If we're in multibuffer mode and there's an error opening the
5169 file in read-only mode, display the error message on the
5170 statusbar regardless of the value of quiet. (DLR)
5172 - Miscellaneous cleanups. (David Benbennick)
5173 - Fix len's being off by one when reading in Mac-format files,
5174 exposed by one of David Benbennick's cleanups. (DLR)
5175 - If NO_CONVERT isn't set when we first enter, and it gets set
5176 while reading in the file, unset it again afterwards. (DLR)
5178 - If we're in multibuffer mode and there's an error opening the
5179 file that we're trying to insert, close the new buffer that we
5180 made to hold it and reload the buffer we had open before.
5183 - Fix minor logic error when determining when to resave fileage
5186 - If switching between files when CONSTUPDATE is set, only force
5187 a cursor position display update if DISABLE_CURPOS isn't set.
5188 This will ensure that the "Switching to [file]" messages are
5191 - Change lineswritten from a long to an int, to match
5192 filestruct->lineno. (DLR; mismatch found by David Benbennick)
5193 real_dir_from_tilde()
5194 - Since this is needed for proper interpretation of paths
5195 containing tildes and not just for tab completion, include and
5196 use it regardless of whether tab completion is disabled.
5197 (David Benbennick and DLR)
5199 - Variable name change: matchBuf -> matchbuf. (DLR)
5201 - Remove the HAVE_STRCASECMP #ifdef block; see the changes to
5202 configure.ac and nano.h for why. (DLR)
5204 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
5205 - Miscellaneous cleanups. (David Benbennick)
5208 - If there's a page or less of text, do an edit_update() if the
5209 mark is on; otherwise, the highlight won't be displayed. (DLR)
5211 - Added free_history() list calls clean up, added init of list
5212 headers, and modified statusq() calls (Ken Tyler).
5214 - Make the assert match that in do_next_word(). (DLR)
5216 - If smooth scrolling is on, and Enter is pressed on the
5217 magicline, don't center the screen. (DLR)
5219 - Fix memory corruption problem triggered when edittop and
5220 current->next pointed to the same value and current->next was
5221 destroyed during justification. (DLR)
5222 - Center the screen when justification moves the cursor entirely
5223 off the bottom of the screen, instead of when it moves the
5224 cursor near the bottom of the screen, to more closely match
5225 Pico's behavior. (DLR)
5227 - Remove obsolete reference to --enable-undo. (David Benbennick)
5228 - Move up check for --disable-nls as it's independent of
5229 --enable-tiny now (DLR).
5231 - Make internal spell program use sort -f and uniq to create a
5232 less redundant word list. [The only reason this is going in
5233 during feature freeze is because the int speller is useless as
5234 is and should either be improved or removed. I chose
5236 - Change all child error checks to use one goto (gasp!) called
5237 close_pipes_and_exit, so we don't leak FDs.
5238 - Fix FD leaks which occur outside of errors (David Benbennick).
5239 do_int_speller(), do_alt_speller()
5240 - Programs now return char *, NULL for successful completion,
5241 otherwise the error string to display. This allows us to give
5242 more useful feedback to the user when spell checking fails.
5244 - Renamed abcd(). (DLR)
5246 - Remove an unneeded do_colorinit() call, do major cleanups, and
5247 allow loading of multiple files on the command line when
5248 multibuffers are used. (David Benbennick)
5250 - Make sure NO_RCFILE and COLOR_SYNTAX aren't set to the same
5251 value. (DLR; discovered by Ken Tyler)
5252 - If strcasecmp() and/or strncasecmp() aren't available, use
5253 strcmp() and/or strncmp() instead. (DLR)
5255 - Fix the #ifdef block for DISABLE_TABCOMP's being undefined
5256 so that functions only used with tab completion are properly
5257 #ifdef'ed out. (DLR)
5260 - Don't call blank_statusbar_refresh() so if there's an error
5261 returned in multibuffer mode, we can actually see it.
5263 - Remove erroneously introduced near-duplicate call to
5264 update_history(). (DLR)
5266 - Remove and replace with an equivalent ngettext() call. (DLR)
5268 - Fix bug where if text on the magicline was replaced (which can
5269 be done via a regexp replace of "^$" with something other than
5270 ""), a new magicline wouldn't be created. (DLR)
5271 - Remove check for answer being a blank string, presumed to be
5272 a PICO_MODE holdover, but it stops us from doing a blank
5273 spelling replacement.
5275 - For greater Pico compatibility, when an attempt to replace a
5276 string results in 0 replacements due to the string's not being
5277 found, display "[string] not found" instead of "Replaced 0
5281 - Rework to fix a problem with displaying certain high-bit
5282 characters. (David Benbennick; reported by Andrzej Marecki)
5284 - Don't just assert that the string passed in isn't NULL; check
5285 that it isn't and only do the alignment when it isn't. (David
5287 nmalloc(), nrealloc()
5288 - If the size passed to nmalloc() or nrealloc() is zero, don't
5289 die with an erroneous out-of-memory error. Also, change
5290 their dying messages to "nano is out of memory!". (David
5293 - Removed and redefined as a macro that calls nmalloc(). (David
5297 - Tweak to make the cursor stay in the same place if we hit a
5298 prompt-changing toggle while it's in the middle of the string.
5299 Reset it to -1 (so next time we come here, it'll be set to the
5300 end of the string) if we leave the prompt via Enter or Cancel.
5301 Also fix minor problem with search history where the current
5302 search item could be at the bottom of the history twice in a
5303 row under certain conditions. (DLR)
5304 - Remove parens in NANO_CONTROL_I check so nano won't complain if
5305 just NANO_SMALL is defined (David Benbennick).
5307 - Miscellaneous cleanups that fix a bug where the screen
5308 isn't updated after uncutting chunks of upwardly marked cut
5309 text that are over a page in length. (David Benbennick)
5311 - Add David Benbennick to credits. (DLR)
5313 - Added comment to explain the non-escaping of quotes in
5314 color regexes, based on info provided by David Benbennick.
5316 - Added some examples for groff and the nanorc courtesy of
5318 - Added double hash marks to comment lines, so people who
5319 uncomment the beginning of every line won't get syntax errors.
5321 - Miscellaneous fixes and updates for typos, broken links, and
5322 slashes at the end of directories. It is now fully compliant
5323 with HTML 4.01 Transitional. (DLR and David Benbennick)
5324 - Added docs about the new unified search string interface and
5325 search histories, and added --enable-all into configure docs.
5327 - Typo fixes and updates. (David Benbennick)
5328 - Updates for the most recent and not so recent changes.
5329 - nano.1, nano.1.html
5330 - Updated for the --preserve and --historylog options.
5332 - Added some wishlist stuff.
5334 - Added Doruk Fisek and Peio Ziarsolo (Jordi).
5336 GNU nano 1.1.12 - 10/24/2002
5338 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
5339 - Remove malloc.h, as it's unneeded and just causes annoyances on
5340 *BSD systems. Added stdlib.h to global.c.
5341 - Added Meta-Y toggle to disable/enable color syntax highlighting
5342 completely. This may eventually be per-buffer, but that's too
5343 complicated for a feature freeze.
5344 - Disable VSTOP keystroke. Stops people accidentally locking up
5345 nano (suggested by David Benbennick).
5346 - Pluralize messages with ngettext() where needed. (David
5347 Benbennick) Tweaked to compile on systems lacking ngettext()
5348 by DLR (problem found by Ken Tyler).
5349 - Update nano.1 and nano.1.html to show that nano now does an
5350 emergency save on receiving SIGHUP or SIGTERM. (DLR)
5351 - Don't include "nowrap" in the long options if
5352 DISABLE_WRAPPING is defined. (DLR)
5355 - Minor efficiency fixes, some of which fit in with the change
5356 to ngettext() usage mentioned above. (David Benbennick)
5358 - Make sure the value of path is mallocstrcpy()ed into retval
5359 and not just assigned to it, to avoid memory corruption
5363 - If ENABLE_NLS isn't defined, display "--disable-nls"
5364 (suggested by Ken Tyler). (DLR)
5366 - Make sure the double space maintained after sentence-ending
5367 punctuation is done when that punctuation is immediately
5368 followed by a bracket-type character, so justifying e.g.
5369 sentences in parentheses works properly. (David Benbennick)
5371 - Renamed handle_hupterm() to show that it now handles SIGTERM
5372 as well as SIGHUP. (DLR)
5374 - Do an emergency save on receiving either SIGHUP or SIGTERM,
5375 not just SIGHUP. (David Benbennick)
5377 - Fix a problem where control key commands were printed
5378 literally instead of interpreted after a failed search of a
5379 one-line file. (David Benbennick)
5382 - Renamed handle_hupterm(); see above for why. (DLR)
5385 - Fix a potential infinite loop occurring with certain
5386 zero-length regexes. (David Benbennick)
5388 GNU nano 1.1.11 - 10/01/2002
5390 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
5391 - Upgraded to gettext 0.11.5 (Jordi).
5392 - Updated nano.1, nano.1.html, and nano.texi to fix an
5393 inaccuracy in the description of -Q/--quotestr. (DLR)
5394 - Set REG_EXTENDED in all regcomp() calls. (DLR)
5395 - Minor cosmetic code cleanups. (DLR)
5396 - Changed do_insertfile to (a) report multibuffer status at the
5397 prompt and allowing it to be toggled, taking into account the
5398 need to keep the translatable strings, and (b) added a
5399 variable inspath to keep track of what the string was before
5400 toggling. I'm sure there's bugs, have at it.
5401 - Make sure all functions have prototypes in proto.h, and swap
5402 some functions around to put similar functions closer
5403 together (for this, rename clear_bottombars() to
5404 blank_bottombars()). (DLR; suggested by David Benbennick)
5405 - More changes of char *'s to const char *'s when possible.
5407 - Fix various minor memory leaks in files.c. (David Benbennick)
5408 - Fix minor problems with the operating directory code: set the
5409 operating directory properly if it's specified only in a
5410 nanorc file, and handle an operating directory of "/"
5411 properly. New function init_operating_dir() to handle
5412 setting it both on the command line and in the nanorc file.
5414 - Major rewrite of color and screen update routines to fix
5415 minor bugs and increase efficiency. New function
5416 set_colorpairs() for the former. (David Benbennick)
5418 - Added pt_BR to ALL_LINGUAS (Jordi).
5419 - Changed --enable-color warning to be slightly less severe.
5420 - Put the configure options in more or less alphabetical order,
5421 and remove --enable-undo, since it doesn't do anything. (DLR)
5424 - String change: "File "x" is a directory" -> ""x" is a
5427 - Disallow multibuffer toggling at the "Insert File" prompt if
5428 we're in both view and multibuffer mode, so as to keep proper
5429 integration between the two, and make sure the toggle
5430 actually works all the time otherwise. Also, make sure
5431 TOGGLE_LOAD_KEY isn't referenced when NANO_SMALL and
5432 ENABLE_MULTIBUFFER are both defined. (DLR)
5433 open_prevfile_void(), open_nextfile_void()
5434 - Return the return values of open_prevfile() and
5435 open_nextfile(), respectively, instead of (incorrectly)
5436 calling them and returning 0. (DLR)
5437 real_dir_from_tilde()
5438 - Rework to use getpwent() exclusively and end reliance on
5439 $HOME. Adapted from equivalent code in do_rcfile(). (DLR)
5441 - Most likely fixed the check marked with FIXME, so that tab
5442 completion works properly when we're trying to tab-complete a
5443 username and the string already contains data. (DLR)
5446 - Disable the new multibuffer toggle at the file insertion
5447 prompt when NANO_SMALL and ENABLE_MULTIBUFFER are both
5449 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
5450 - Make sure the reference to help_text is #ifdefed out when
5451 --disable-help is used. (DLR)
5454 - Fix bug where current is moved up two lines when the up arrow
5455 is pressed on the top line of the edit window; this causes a
5456 segfault if the top line in the edit window is the second
5457 line of the file, as the line current ends up on doesn't
5458 exist. (Jeff DeFouw)
5460 - Fix bug where, if the last line in the edit window is the
5461 line before the magicline, and smooth scrolling is turned
5462 off, pressing the down arrow on that last line centers the
5463 cursor without updating the edit window. (Jeff DeFouw)
5466 - Put the listed configure options in more or less alphabetical
5469 - If we're in view mode here (in which case we're also in
5470 multibuffer mode), don't set the modification flag. (DLR)
5471 do_next_word(), do_prev_word()
5472 - If we're on the last/first line of the file, don't center the
5473 screen; Pico doesn't in the former case. (DLR)
5475 - Rework to call edit_refresh() regardless of the value of
5476 current_x if ENABLE_COLOR is defined, so that multiple-line
5477 color regexes are properly updated onscreen as they are in
5480 - Rework to only call edit_refresh() unconditionally if
5481 ENABLE_COLOR is defined; if it isn't, and we're not deleting
5482 the end of the line, only call update_line(). (DLR)
5484 - Make sure wrapping is done properly when the number of
5485 characters on the line is exactly one over the limit. (David
5487 - Restore the previous wrapping point behavior (pre 1.1.10)
5488 (David Benbennick). Minor fix by DLR to prevent spaces from
5489 being added to the ends of lines ending in spaces or lines
5490 ending in tabs (the latter case found by David Benbennick).
5492 - Readd DLR's fix to preserve marking when using the alternate
5493 spell checker; it was accidentally dropped. (David
5496 - Fix cosmetic problems caused when justifying on the
5497 magicline, and a minor problem where the cursor would
5498 sometimes be moved to the wrong line after justification.
5501 - When searching through the main shortcut list looking for a
5502 shortcut key, stop searching after finding one; this avoids a
5503 rare segfault. (DLR)
5505 - Change search toggles for case sensitive searching and regexp
5506 searching to M-C and M-R, respectively. (DLR; suggested by
5508 - Add support for HP-UX's curses, which doesn't seem to support
5509 KEY_HOME and KEY_END.
5511 - Fix the c-file regex for all caps words to be extended regex
5512 format ({} instead of \{\}) (found by DLR).
5513 - Add a better string matching sequence that includes escaped
5514 quotes (thanks to Carl E. Lindberg, who doesn't even know he
5515 helped ;-). Some unneeded \'s in that sequence removed, and
5516 a new sequence to handle multi-line quotes added, by David
5518 - Add some examples for HTML and TeX files (David Benbennick).
5521 - Stop infinite loop when syntax doesn't begin with " char.
5524 - Switch from using calloc() to using malloc(). (David
5529 - Add David Benbennick. (Jordi and Chris)
5531 - Add entry in the 1.4 section for Pico's paragraph searching
5532 ability (at the search prompt, ^W goes to the paragraph's
5533 beginning, and ^O goes to the paragraph's end). (DLR)
5535 GNU nano 1.1.10 - 07/25/2002
5537 - Translation updates (see po/ChangeLog for details).
5538 - Upgraded to gettext 0.11.2 (Jordi).
5539 Removed intl/ entirely, and a few more tweaks by gettextize.
5540 - i18nized a few strings used in DEBUG mode. (DLR)
5541 - Some chars being assigned 0 are now assigned '\0'. (DLR)
5542 - Put header file #includes in a more consistent order. (DLR)
5543 - Remove some unneeded blank lines and spaces, and make some
5544 spacing more consistent. (DLR)
5545 - When possible, use iscntrl() to determine whether a character
5546 is a control character or not. (DLR)
5547 - Miscellaneous typo fixes. (DLR)
5548 - Many fixes to the help browser and shortcut lists: efficiency
5549 updates, consistency fixes, help text fixes and improvements,
5550 and spacing improvements. (David Benbennick)
5551 - Make some functions use const variables when possible, and
5552 also make them static when necessary. (David Benbennick,
5553 necessary redefined by Chris ;-)
5554 - Add Carl Drinkwater's backup file option (-B or --backup on the
5555 command line, M-B in nano's global shortcuts). If the original
5556 file is unchanged from when it was loaded, it is backed up to
5557 filename~; if the original file has been changed or deleted
5558 since it was originally loaded, it isn't backed up. The backup
5559 file retains the permissions, owner/group, and
5560 access/modification times of the original file. This option is
5561 disabled when --enable-tiny is used. It will not back up
5562 temporary files. Minor fixes to it by David Benbennick and
5563 DLR. Changes to open_file(), add_open_file(),
5564 load_open_file(), write_file(), and do_writeout().
5565 - Add \n's to the ends of "filename is %s" debugging strings.
5567 - Add the long option --quotestr as an alternative for -Q, and
5568 --regexp as an alternative for -R; they were listed in nano's
5569 usage information, but weren't actually in nano. Also, display
5570 "-?" as an alternative for "-h" in nano's usage information,
5571 put the command line options in a more consistent (i.e. mostly
5572 alphabetical) order in nano, put the long options in a more
5573 consistent order in rcfile.c and nanorc.sample, don't include
5574 rcfile options if their equivalent command line options are
5575 disabled, and remove obsolete relative option from
5576 nanorc.sample. (DLR)
5577 - Change "File Name to Append/Prepend" to "File Name to
5578 Append/Prepend to". The original prompt could confusingly
5579 imply that we are appending/prepending another file to the
5580 current file, when we are actually appending/prepending the
5581 current file to another file. (DLR)
5582 - Put nano.1, nano.1.html, and nano.texi up to date, and fix a
5583 few inconsistencies in them. (DLR)
5584 - Typo fixes for the ChangeLog. (David Benbennick and DLR)
5585 - Complete rewrite of justification code to fix some bugs and
5586 improve its functionality. (David Benbennick)
5587 - If a variable isn't going to be used in tiny mode, #define it
5588 out when possible. (David Benbennick)
5589 - Major reworking of the cutting/screen-updating code in cut.c,
5590 some functions in utils.c, the cursor placement code in
5591 winio.c, and many, many other areas to increase efficiency.
5593 - Rework handling of prompts when there's a list of partial
5594 filename matches on the screen: remove kludgy case-by-case
5595 handling (which didn't even handle every case), and have
5596 statusq() handle it directly for all cases. (David Benbennick
5598 - Fix some warnings and errors that show up when using gcc's
5599 -pedantic option. (DLR)
5600 - Add a comment to nanorc.sample warning that an out-of-range
5601 negative value for fill can make nano die complaining that
5602 the screen is too small (which may not be immediately
5604 - There were some opendir() calls in files.c without
5605 corresponding closedir() calls; add them. (DLR)
5606 - Move align() and null_at() from nano.c to utils.c, and move
5607 the openfilestruct handling functions from nano.c to files.c.
5609 - In color.c, start the "#ifdef ENABLE_COLOR" block after
5610 including all the header files, as rcfile.c does; this fixes
5611 a warning about ANSI C'S inability to handle blank files.
5613 - Add new function is_cntrl_char() as a wrapper for iscntrl();
5614 this is needed to treat ASCII 0x80-0x9f as control characters
5615 consistently. (Without this, they will only be treated as
5616 such when gettext is used; when it isn't used, they will be
5617 printed as-is and be interpreted as commands by xterm, which
5618 will corrupt the display.) (DLR)
5619 - Add command line option -I/--ignorercfiles to ignore
5620 $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc and ~/.nanorc. (Carl Drinkwater). Fix to
5621 parsing getopt args (DLR).
5622 - Fix minor bugs with importing certain text files in Mac
5625 append_slash_if_dir(), input_tab()
5626 - Changed variable names: lastWasTab -> lastwastab, matchBuf ->
5628 check_operating_dir()
5629 - Memory leak fix. (David Benbennick)
5630 check_writable_directory()
5631 - Optimizations (David Benbennick).
5632 cwd_tab_completion()
5633 - Changed a variable name: dirName -> dirname. (DLR)
5635 - Optimizations and mouse selection fixes (David Benbennick).
5637 - Fix problem with formatstr's being defined as NULL when
5638 --enable-tiny is used. Since formatstr isn't ever used in tiny
5639 mode, don't bother even creating the variable. (David
5642 - Memory leak fix (accidentally dropped 1st time).
5645 - Memory leak fix. Also, make it properly interpret ~/ notation
5646 so, among other things, the option "--operatingdir ~" works.
5648 - More optimizations (David Benbennick).
5650 - Make sure current_x is zero; this fixes a problem where the
5651 current cursor position wasn't reset when reading in a file in
5652 multibuffer mode. (David Benbennick)
5653 - Use make_new_node rather than setting up fileage by hand
5655 read_file(), read_line()
5656 - Rework to properly handle nulls in the input file, fix
5657 detection of binary files to properly mark a file as binary if
5658 the only binary characters it contains are ASCII 127's, and
5659 after reading the last line of a file that doesn't end in a
5660 newline, increment totsize. Remove previous kludge to set
5661 totsize properly. (DLR)
5663 - Rework to properly handle nulls in the input file. When
5664 appending/prepending, don't change the current file's name to
5665 the name of the file it's being appended/prepended to. When
5666 writing a marked selection to a file, save and restore totsize
5667 so it isn't decreased by the size of the selection afterward.
5669 - Optimizations (David Benbennick).
5672 - Only include if we're not using tiny mode. (David Benbennick)
5674 - Remove global entries for search toggles, as they aren't really
5676 - Don't reinititialize the toggles if they've already been
5677 initialized; it's unnecessary and even causes a segfault in
5678 do_toggle() if Pico emulation mode is the toggle in question.
5679 Don't free the toggles here, either; it's unnecessary after the
5680 above change. (David Benbennick)
5681 - If wrapping is disabled, don't include the toggle for it.
5684 - Rework IFHELP macro (David Benbennick).
5686 page_down(), page_up()
5687 - Put sanity checks for current_x back in, to avoid rare
5688 segfaults (oops). Now, however, they are only called when
5689 placewewant is zero instead of being called unconditionally;
5690 see changes to winio.c:actual_x_from_start() below. (DLR)
5692 - Put in much less crappy example regex rules for c-file.
5695 - Remove this function, as it has unneeded functionality, is
5696 short enough to be inlined, and is only called in two spots
5699 - Rework slightly to remove redundant printing of last message
5700 and print all messages after resetting the terminal. (DLR)
5702 - Make sure placewewant is set properly, and that the mark is
5703 moved backwards. (David Benbennick)
5705 - Fix a problem where, if ENABLE_COLOR wasn't used, typing
5706 characters on a marked line before the beginning of the mark
5707 would make the highlight short by one. (David Benbennick)
5709 - Handle the case where the window was resized while we were
5710 stopped. (David Benbennick)
5712 - Make sure placewewant is set properly, to match Pico's
5714 do_int_spell(), do_alt_spell()
5715 - Rework to save the marked selection before doing spell checking
5716 and restore it afterward. (DLR)
5717 do_next_word(), do_prev_word()
5718 - Fix a problem where highlighting isn't done properly after
5719 calling either of these, and another problem where the cursor
5720 would move back too far in certain cases with do_prev_word().
5723 - Since the search mode toggles aren't global anymore, we don't
5724 need to explicitly block them here anymore (which will end up
5725 blocking the global backup mode toggle, which is the same as
5726 the backwards search toggle). (DLR)
5728 - fill fixes and 'two short word wrap' bug (David Benbennick).
5730 - Call die_too_small() when fill is 0. (DLR)
5732 - Make sure we adjust fill when the window is resized. (David
5734 - Call die_too_small() when fill is 0. (DLR)
5736 - Since the return value of snprintf() isn't well defined, use
5737 sprintf() instead. (David Benbennick)
5739 - Rework to blank out filename manually before doing anything
5740 with it, instead of calling clear_filename() in two places.
5741 Make startline an int instead of a long, since it's supposed to
5742 hold a line number. (DLR)
5743 - Properly handle multiple -r settings on the command line. (Carl
5745 - Fix a bug that prevented file insertion via the Insert key
5746 from working at all when --enable-multibuffer wasn't used
5748 - Adapt David Benbennick's fix to get fill to accept negative
5749 numbers properly in parse_rcfile() (see below) to the
5750 handlers for the -r and -T options as well, so that -r/-T 0
5751 can be treated separately from -r/-T string. (DLR)
5752 - Fix so that Esc-Esc-Space is properly treated as Ctrl-Space.
5755 - List the options that are ignored for the purpose of Pico
5756 compatibility, and make some minor consistency fixes. (DLR)
5758 - Fix some space/tab formatting for flags (DLR).
5760 - Remove external declaration of the global int fill, since
5761 it's now static. (DLR)
5764 - Add David Benbennick's fix that allows fill to accept
5765 negative numbers properly. Specifically, use strtol() there
5766 instead of atoi() so that errors can be detected. Also
5767 adapted for tabsize by DLR.
5768 parse_next_regex(), colortoint()
5769 - Only include if ENABLE_COLOR is defined. (DLR)
5772 - Since the search mode toggles aren't global anymore, rework the
5773 part of this function referencing them so that they still work.
5775 - Remove unneeded toggles variable. (David Benbennick)
5776 - Fix a problem where the first character of buf was overwritten
5777 if the last search string was one third the number of columns
5778 plus one. (David Benbennick)
5780 - Update the current line at current_x if we don't find a match.
5781 Also, pass current_x_find to strstrwrapper() so we know whether
5782 we're at the beginning of a string or not (see changes to
5783 strstrwrapper() below), and reset it between lines. (DLR)
5785 - Make sure placewewant is zero after we go to a line. (David
5788 - Simplify the sanity check to only put x within the range of the
5789 current line; don't call actual_x() anymore. (DLR)
5791 - Add sunder() and unsunder(). These functions convert nulls
5792 other than the terminating null in strings to newlines and
5793 back; they're used to handle null characters in files properly.
5796 - Remove, since it isn't actually used anywhere. (David
5799 - Set REG_NOTBOL when we're not at the beginning of a
5800 string, to avoid false positives when searching for regular
5801 expressions prefixed with ^. Make it take a new parameter,
5802 line_pos, to determine where we are in the string. (DLR)
5803 check_wildcard_match()
5804 - Changed variable names: retryPat -> retrypat, retryText ->
5807 actual_x_from_start()
5808 - Overhaul to make cursor placement more like that of Pico: add
5809 sanity check for i, and then place i as close to the value of
5810 xplus column as possible. This change is most noticeable when
5811 moving down through binary files. (DLR)
5813 - Fix for the i18ned credits so it will compile with -pedantic
5816 - Add support for the handled keyboard escape sequences in the
5817 help menu, as they are needed with some terminals (e.g. xterm
5818 with TERM=ansi). (DLR)
5820 - Turn on leaveok() so the cursor doesn't bounce around the
5821 screen while we're updating it (most noticeable when using
5822 color syntax over a very slow connection).
5823 do_replace_highlight()
5824 - When using regexps, make sure the highlight is the length of
5825 the search result and not the regexp string. (DLR)
5827 - After the user presses Enter at the prompt, refresh the edit
5828 window in case there's a list of possible filename matches
5829 (left over from attempted tab completion) on it. (DLR)
5831 - Limit statusbar display to the number of columns less four, and
5832 don't allow it to go over its original row. (David Benbennick)
5834 - Tweak text spacing and printing so that the titlebar text looks
5835 better on smaller terminals. (Carl Drinkwater)
5837 - When marking control characters, make sure the mark moves
5838 forward by two characters instead of one. Rework control
5839 character display routine to display newlines within the line
5840 (which should never occur under normal circumstances; they will
5841 only be there if the line had nulls in it and was unsunder()ed
5842 beforehand) as ^@'s. (DLR)
5843 - Fix to properly treat ASCII 128-159 as control characters.
5846 - Added ms to ALL_LINGUAS (Jordi).
5847 - Merged acconfig.h in (Jordi).
5848 - Fixed so that --enable-debug defines DEBUG and undefines
5849 NDEBUG. (Carl Drinkwater)
5851 - Completed a bit (Jordi).
5852 - Fixed David Benbennick's email address. (David Benbennick)
5855 GNU nano 1.1.9 - 05/12/2002
5857 - Typos n misspellings all over the place (David Benbennick).
5858 - Allow --tiny and --multibuffer to cooperate (who the heck
5859 would want this is beyond me but ;-). Changes to
5860 configure.ac, global.c, , (David Benbennick).
5861 - Change to openfilestruct for multibuffer mode by DLR.
5862 New functions nano.c:make_new_opennode(), free_openfilestruct(),
5863 delete_opennode(), unlink_opennode(), splice_opennode(),
5864 new struct openfilestruct in nano.h.
5865 - Preliminary prepend code. This may be a bad idea, but I've
5866 been wanting it for awhile now and we'll see how bad it messes
5867 everything up. Changes to files.c:do_writeout(), write_file().
5868 Fixes for O_CREAT & append compatibility by David Benbennick.
5869 - Change from read() and write() to file streams by Jay Carlson.
5870 Allows OS to implement read and write ahead rather than making
5871 us do it. Hopefully merged properly.
5872 - More cleanups with DISABLE flags, better free_shortcutage and
5873 free_toggle, and get rid of unnecessary variable decls with
5874 NANO_SMALL in shortcut_init() by David Benbennick.
5875 - Added "syntax" command to .nanorc file, to allow multiple
5876 syntaxes. New function color.c:update_color(), calls in various
5877 files.c places, syntaxtype struct, global variables syntaxes,
5878 syntaxfile_regexp and synfilematches. Global flag -Y ,--syntax
5879 to specify the type on the command line, if there's no good
5880 filename regex to use. Global variable syntaxstr.
5881 - Changed many strcmp()s and strcpy()s to their equivalent
5882 '\0' counterparts (David Lawrence Ramsey).
5883 - Many changes to allow marked cutting to work with multiple
5884 file buffers: changes to openfilestruct type in nano.h and
5885 files.c (David Lawrence Ramsey).
5886 - Changed NANO_SMALL to ENABLE_NLS for gettext disabling
5888 - Move next_key and pev_key definitions out of main() and into
5889 global.c where they belong (David Benbennick).
5892 - Add regfree call here to avoid memory leaks.
5894 - Define NDEBUG to silence asserts (David Benbennick).
5897 - Optimizations (David Benbennick).
5900 - Add missing free_shortcutage()s (David Benbennick).
5901 thanks_for_all_the_fish()
5902 - Only defined when using DEBUG, makes sense (David Benbennick).
5905 - Add missing free (David Benbennick).
5907 - Optimizations (David Benbennick).
5909 - Complete rewrite (David Benbennick).

5913 #s to their character equivalent.
5915 - Changed charalloc(), strcpy()s to mallocstrcpy()s.
5917 - NANO_ALT_COMMAND and NANO_ALT_PERIOD were reversed (lol)

5921 by default (Im an idiot).
5922 - Fixed Source line (David Lawrence Ramsey).
5924 - Changed references to Debian GNU/Linux to Debian GNU (Jordi).
5926 - Updated for -Y option (David Lawrence Ramsey).
5928 - Made some rc file errors less fatal.
5929 - Added in my patch for getpwent instead of relying on $HOME
5930 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
5933 - Changed some syntax highlight computations for the sake of COLS.
5934 - Add in the necessary regfree() calls to stop nano from leaking
5935 memory like a sieve when using color syntax highlighting :-)

5966 changes to do_insertfile(), new list extcmd_list, cmd is
5968 - Added separate regex variable (color_regex and colormatches)
5969 so that color syntax and regex search/replace can coexist.
5970 - Added new nano.spec file from Brett <brett@bad-sports.com>,
5971 added because maintaining the spec file is getting to be a large
5974 check_writable_directory()
5975 - Stat full_path, not path (Steven Kneizys).
5977 - I18nize the pipe error (DLR).
5979 - Handle cancel from ExtCmd properly (David Benbennick).
5981 - Abort if we read a file of 0 lines (num_lines == 0), fixes BUG #70.

5995 - Put NANO_SMALL defines around toggle pointer (noticed by Jordi);
5997 - Rewritten to encompass systems with and without GETOPT_LONG.
5998 New function print1opt does most of the dirty work, stops
5999 duplication of effort and eases translator's jobs. Also
6000 breaks all the current translations ;-)
6002 - Missing externs (Rocco).
6005 - Reset lineno between system and local .nanorc file.
6006 - Fix errno->strerror(errno) mismatch.
6008 - Don't use i for both for loop and atoi(), fixes lots of
6009 potential crashes, 1st reported by Jean-Philippe Guérard.
6011 - Don't print out the file name if we haven't opened the file
6015 - Fix a missing free (Rocco).
6017 - Set placewewant if we actually move to a different line.
6020 - Defined regardless of NANO_SMALL (noticed by Jordi).
6022 - New wrapper for perror (David Benbennick).
6025 - Add Thomas Dickey.
6027 - Make col numbering start from 1 (suggested by Andrew Ho).

6029 - Add check for 127 (DLR).
6031 - Swedish translation updates (Christian Rose).
6033 - German translation updates (Michael Piefel).
6035 - Indonesian translation updates (Tedi Heriyanto).
6038 - po/ca.po, po/es.po:

6060 the translation of files from DOS or Mac format (DLR).
6061 - New functions check_writable_directory() and safe_tempnam()
6062 to get around the tempnam warning. More improvements (DLR)
6063 Still needs testing.
6064 - Added DOS and Mac format options to write file routine.
6065 Changes to shortcut_init() and do_writeout().
6066 - Removed stupid static definitions of toggles and shortcut
6067 lists. Many changes to shortcut_init(), toggle_init(),
6068 statusq(), nanogetstr(), main(), and many other places.
6069 - Multibuffer mode now allows multiple empty filenames.

6074 and utils.c:num_of_digits(). (Dwayne Rightler, DLR & Chris)
6075 - Many malloc() cleanups and files.c tweaks by Steven Kneizys,
6076 new functions utils.c:free_shortcutage() (got to love that
6077 name!) & free_toggles(), and big cleanup program
6078 thanks_for_all_the_fish() (originally
6079 thanks_for_the_memories()). Mods to shortcut_init() by Chris.
6080 - Preliminary quoting support for justify. New arg -Q,
6081 --quotestr, changes to do_justify(), global variable
6084 - Add SYSCONFDIR to DEFS, so we can have a $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc.
6085 - Change localedir line to 1.0's version.
6086 - Moved m4/ stuff to its own m4/Makefile.am.

6098 file), set NO_CONVERT if found (fixes by DLR).
6100 - Added support for -o in prompt (Steven Kneizys).
6102 - Move openprev and opennext functions to shortcuts, they really
6103 aren't toggles (DLR).

6118 (quoting wise) than the beginning of the justification.
6120 - Added message re: having multiple blank buffers (DLR).
6122 - Add 407 as equiv of 26, this seems to be sent when using
6123 ^Z in linux console with keypad() enabled.
6125 - Get rid of unneeded relativechars from rcopts (DLR).
6127 do_replace(), findnextstr()
6128 - Fixes for various search issues (Ken Tyler)

6135 - More cleanups w/width of shortcut.
6137 strcasestr(),revstrcasestr()

6139 been confirmed to be detected properly on various Linux
6142 - NANO_SMALL test was backwards (Ken Tyler).
6145 - Changed main function to strnlenpt() for new justify changes,
6146 original function now just a stub.

6175 - Polish translation updates (Wojciech Kotwica).
6177 nano-1.1.6 - 01/25/2002
6179 - Add Meta-A as alternate keystroke for ^^ for people with
6181 - Add Alt-G (NANO_ALT_GOTO_KEY) as alternate for goto dir in
6183 - Better partial word checking code. New function
6184 search.c:is_whole_word(), changes to findnextstr(),
6185 and nano.c:do_int_spell_fix() (Rocco Corsi).
6186 - Added multiple-line regex support. Format in .nanorc is
6187 start="regex" end="regex". Cleaned up nanorc:parse_colors(),
6188 added parse_next_regex(), changes to edit_add in winio.c(),
6189 changes to colortype, cleaning up some old cruft.
6190 - Upgrade to gettext 0.10.40, probably broke everything again :)
6191 - Upgraded to and then downgraded from automake 1.5, as there
6192 are severe security implications.
6195 - Moved some comments and braces around so color can work
6199 - Replace hard coded ALT_G and ALT_H values in the replace
6200 and goto shortcuts with their macro counterparts NANO_ALT_*_KEY.
6203 - Remove extra \n in --keypad description (Jordi).
6205 - Check that alt value is an alpha char before comparing to
6206 val - 32, fixes Alt-R calling doprev instead of replace.
6208 - Run edit_refresh() if ENABLE_COLOR is defined so adding
6209 multi-liners will update (e.g. /* in C).
6211 - Temporarily unset REVERSE_SEARCH if it's set (Rocco Corsi).
6213 - Call tcsetattr() to restore the old terminal settings, so
6214 tcsh can use ^C after suspend for example (fixes BUG #68).
6216 - Move "right" increment to part where new line is created,
6217 should change (fix?) some wrapping problems with autoindent.
6219 - Show --enable-multibuffer independently of --enable-extra being
6220 compiled in (Jordi).
6222 - Changed color struct slightly, because of previous issue with
6223 applying color painting in order, the "str" portion was
6224 useless. Renamed "val" in colortype to "start", added "end"
6225 for multi-line color strings.
6228 - Took silly variables being passed everywhere like lineno and
6229 filename and made them static variables.
6231 - Added stdarg.h to includes.
6233 - Now automatically prepends the "error in line blah at foo"
6234 message to error messages.
6236 - Added section for computing "end" section.
6238 - Added support for "\ ", in word parsing.
6241 - Check position of cursor and return value of findnextstr and
6242 tell user if search string only occurs once (Rocco & Chris).
6244 - Fix off by one in check for wrap around (Rocco Corsi).
6247 - Rename lines to nlines to fix AIX breakage (reported by
6248 Dennis Cranston, re-reported by arh14@cornell.edu).
6250 - Refuse to honor regex matches of 0 characters when applying
6251 color highlighting, and say so on the statusbar. Otherwise
6252 we go into an infinite loop, the error message should clue
6253 users into the fact that their regex is doing something bad.
6255 - Oops, correct Eivind's entry. His translation was Norwegian nynorsk,
6256 not bokmĂĄl as we claimed (Jordi).
6258 - Added config.guess config.sub install-sh missing & mkinstalldirs
6259 - po/ca.po, po/es.po:
6260 - Catalan and Spanish translation updates (Jordi).
6262 - Swedish translation update (Christian Rose).
6264 - German translation update (Michael Piefel).
6266 - French translation update (Jean-Philippe Guérard).
6267 - po/ru.po, po/uk.po:
6268 - Russian and Ukrainian translation updates (Sergey A. Ribalchenko).
6270 - Moved to po/nn.po, which is the correct name for Norwegian nynorsk.
6272 - Norwegian nynorsk translation updates (Kjetil Torgrim Homme).

6276 - Danish translation update (Keld Simonsen).
6278 nano-1.1.5 - 01/05/2002
6280 - Better integration of View mode (-v) and multibuffer.
6281 Fixes to new_file(), do_insertfile_void(), shortcut_init()
6282 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6283 - The keypad handling has changed (again). We now use
6284 the keypad() function by default. New flag -K, --keypad
6285 allows the old behavior for those using the keypad arrow keys
6286 and rxvt-based terminals.
6287 - Updated copyright notices to 2002 (Jordi).
6290 - Only save files that were modified (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6292 - Run signal_init() after doupdate() so ^Y wont suddenly
6293 start suspending after returning from ^Z suspend in Hurd.
6295 - Unconditionally disable VDSUSP if it exists, stops ^Y
6296 suspending nano on the Hurd.
6298 - Typo fixes in help strings (Jordi).
6299 - New variable helplen needed cause currslen is not always
6300 the length we want (bug found by David Lawrence Ramsey).
6301 - Typo in file switch string (found by David Lawrence Ramsey).
6303 - Handle Alt prev/next file keys (,.), as well as normal ones (<>).
6304 - Handle OS-specific insert keys by jump to do_insertkey (David
6308 - Make conversion message less confusing (suggested by Jordi).
6311 - Get rid of ptr == \n check to abort, screws up option
6312 parsing (bug found by David Lawrence Ramsey)
6315 - set realdata check to >= 1 && <= 31, lack of > 0 check screwed
6316 high ascii characters.
6318 - gettextized a pair of strings.
6320 - Get rid of that annoying reversed line when color is on! :)
6322 - Little fixes to let color highlights not bleed onto the next line.
6324 - Initialize "list".
6326 - Back down to 1.1.3 version.
6328 - Various link updates and other fixes (Aaron S. Hawley).
6329 - Typo fixes (David Lawrence Ramsey).

6336 - po/ca.po, po/es.po:
6337 - Catalan and Spanish translations updates (Jordi).
6339 - New Polish, partial translation, by Cezary Sliwa <sliwa@cft.edu.pl>.
6340 - Wojciech Kotwica <wkotwica@post.pl> completed it and is the new
6341 official maintainer.
6343 - French translation update (Michel Robitaille).

6351 - French translation update (Jean-Philippe Guérard).
6353 nano-1.1.4 - 12/11/2001
6355 - Preliminary syntax highlighting support. New functions
6356 colortoint() and parse_color() in rcfile.c, new code in
6357 edit_add() in winio.c to actually do the highlighting. It's
6358 not even close to pretty yet :P
6359 - Many int/long alignments (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6361 - Fixes for tab completion and screen refresh (David Lawrence
6364 - Get rid of unsetting MARK_ISSET because otherwise writing
6365 marked text will automatically unset the marker with
6366 multibuffer enabled.
6368 - Define currshortcut and currslen when either DISABLE_MOUSE
6369 or DISABLE_HELP or DISABLE_BROWSER is not defined (Silvan
6373 - Add Esc-[-[IGL] keys for FreeBSD Console (PgUp,PgDn,Insert).
6374 - Added better Hurd support for function keys (Alt-V,U,9,@,F).
6376 - do SIG_IGN for the SIGTSTP sigaction regardless of whether
6377 we have _POSIX_VDISABLE or not (more Hurd fixes)
6379 - Typo fixes and additions to the new help texts.
6381 - Now takes arg for constant updating to always show the cursor
6382 position (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6384 - Many fixes (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6386 - Dont prompt for replace if we don't change the word in
6387 question (Rocco Corsi).
6389 - German translation updates (Karl Eichwalder).
6391 - Russian translation updates (Sergey A. Ribalchenko).
6393 - Swedish translation updates (Christian Rose).
6395 - Danish translation updates (Keld Simonse).
6397 - Spanish translation updates (Jordi).
6399 - French translation updates (Michel Robitaille).
6401 - diff against mutt 1.2.5's gettext.m4.
6403 nano-1.1.3 - 10/26/2001
6405 - Finally wrote function-specific help mode. Changes to
6406 nano.c:help_init() and winio.c:do_help(). Changed
6407 currshortcut and currslen #ifdefs to depend on both
6408 DISABLE_HELP and DISABLE_MOUSE being defined to not
6409 include. Changed all the shortcuts and lengths.
6410 - Fixed null_at to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING with its arg. Again,
6411 this was causing nasty errors if the call to nrealloc moved
6412 where the data was located.
6413 - Changed header comments to say "version 2" instead of "version
6414 1" as the COPYING file is actually version 2 of the GPL (bug
6415 noticed by Jordi Mallach).
6418 - Check to see whether marked text is contained within edit
6419 window and if so only do an edit_refresh (variable dontupdate
6420 replaces cuttingpartialline).
6422 - Similar display fixes (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6424 - Removed nano-editor.org FTP site address [deprecated] and added
6427 - Added status messages for converted DOS and Mac files.
6428 People should know that their file wasnt normally formatted.
6430 - Status message when trying to load an already loaded file with multiple
6431 buffers (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6433 - Get rid of useless linetemp variable and name num_lines int
6434 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6436 - New function do_prev_word, similar to do_next_word. Hard coded as
6437 Alt-space, as next word is hard coded as control-space. Fixed
6438 goofy logic setting x pos to value of last line when hitting the
6439 beginning of first line, prog should simply abort. Added
6440 the #ifdefs around the code in main().
6442 - Additional #define, SMALL_TOO to determine how long
6443 MAIN_LIST_LEN is. We need this because of the find matching
6446 - Moved #ifndef NANO_SMALL down past the case 0: line so
6447 control-space doesn't insert a \0 (ack!)
6449 - Fix incorrect number of rc options (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6451 - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
6453 - Updated Danish translation (Keld Simonsen).
6455 - Style updates to Spanish translation (Santiago Vila).
6456 - po/ru.po, po/uk.po:
6457 - Updated Russian and Ukrainian translation (Sergey A. Ribalchenko).
6459 nano-1.1.2 - 10/03/2001
6461 - Added BUGS #63 & 64. Fixes in search_init() and nanogetstr(),
6462 new flag CLEAR_BACKUPSTRING because there's no easy way to
6463 clear the backupstring without making it global (messy), so we
6464 use a flag instead (just as messy?)
6465 - --enable-tiny now leaves out the Auto Indent code, do you really
6466 need that on a bootdisk? =-)
6467 - New flag -o, --operatingdir, similar to Pico's -o mode. New
6468 function check_operating_dir(), changes to load_file (arg),
6469 open_file_dup_search (arg), new function do_gotopos for -F
6470 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6471 - Code to read/write dos formatted files. Massive amounts of
6472 new code in read_line and write_file. New cmdline flag
6473 (-D --dos) to automatically write the file in DOS format,
6474 regardless of the original format.
6475 - Mac file writing supported too. Flag -M, --mac. Toggle
6476 Meta-O (MacOS? OS-X? =-)
6477 - New smooth scroll code by Ken Tyler. New flag -S, --smooth,
6478 changes to page_up() and page_down(). Many fixes to paging by
6479 David Lawrence Ramsey.
6480 - Bracket (brace, parens, etc) matching code by Ken Tyler.
6481 New functions do_find_bracket(), changes to findnextstr(),
6482 command is Meta-] (hope you dont mind since I already sold off
6483 Meta-O to the MacOS file code Ken...) Fixes to bracket_msg
6485 - Call do_gotopos from do_alt_spell() to keep position
6486 consistent when invoking alt speller (DLR).
6487 - Readded DISABLE_CURPOS because in certain instances (like
6488 all the "Search Wrapped" lines) the cursor position will
6489 be different yet we don't want the cursor position displayed.
6490 - Take control-space out of -tiny build, unneeded.
6492 cut_marked_segment()
6493 - Add magic line when cutting a selection including filebot
6494 (discovered by DLR, fixed by DLR & Chris, fixes BUG #66).
6496 - Don't recenter the line when cutting one line (DLR) (Bug #65).
6498 - Notes about the Free Translation Project.
6502 - Expanded strings to not use %s and ?: to determine
6503 write/append string to be nice to translators.
6505 - Initialize totsize (DLR).
6508 - Added var constcheck as a CRC-like check of whether cursor
6509 pos has changed and if so update the pos with -c.
6510 - Many tweaks and changes from numerics to char equivs
6511 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6512 - Fix the KEY_IC being undefined when using slang.
6514 - Send 27 when the menu item clicked is an alt key seq... The
6515 lines aren't lined up since the menu width changed though,
6516 this breakage depends on whether the new widths will be kept
6518 - Change k based on currslen to allow the new widths in
6521 - Fixes for Pico incompatibility in cases 2b and 2c.
6522 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6524 - New arg save_cutbuffer, allows cutbuffer to not be lost when
6527 - Added new features, fixed some typos (Jordi).
6529 - Corrected the Mouse Toggle section, noticed by Daniel Bonniot.
6530 - Added many command line options, toggles and other additions
6533 - NUM_RCOPTS fix (DLR).
6534 - Add tabsize support to rc file (Nathan Heagy).
6535 - Fix incorrect argument in fill and tabsize error message
6538 - Changed search prompt to "Search" followed by a list of
6539 bracketed, free-standing modifiers that do not imply a grammar,
6540 and the (to replace) string separately. Hopefully this resolves
6541 the i18n problems that this provoked.
6543 - Various fixes that need testing (Ken Tyler).
6545 - Add David Lawrence Ramsey to credits.
6547 - Spread out the menu items, feedback definitely needed on this.
6549 - More key fixes (David Lawrence Ramsey)
6550 - Don't be clever and wasteful, just repaint every iteration.
6552 - New Dutch translation, by Guus Sliepen <guus@nl.linux.org>.
6553 - po/ca.po, po/es.po:
6554 - Updated Catalan and Spanish translation (Jordi).
6556 - Updated Galician translation (Jacobo TarrĂo).
6558 - New Danish translation, by Keld Simonsen <keld@dkuug.dk>.
6560 - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose).
6562 - Updated Italian translation (Marco Colombo).
6564 - Updated Finnish translation (Pauli Virtanen).
6566 nano-1.1.1 - 07/28/2001
6568 - Reverted included gettext from 0.10.38 to 0.10.35 in intl/ dir.
6569 - Added m4/ directory to allow rebuilding using only the internal
6570 version of gettext.m4 (Albert Chin).
6573 - Change the multibuffer getopt option to 'F' (David Lawrence
6576 - Temporarily disable cursorpos when enabled to be able to see
6577 the mark (un)set message (Ken Tyler).
6579 - Typo fixes and updates (David Lawrence Ramsey)
6582 - Do add_open_files if there aren't any open yet (David Lawrence
6585 - Try to open the next file first, then the previous one
6586 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6589 - Rewrote the whereis and replace lists to put CANCEL at the end
6590 of the list, and not include the toggle functions when using
6593 - Fix type in INSERTFILE_LIST_LEN.
6594 - Rewrote all the macro definitions to be a little less messy,
6595 for the #ifdefs anyway.
6597 - Update for the multibuffer option (oops) (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6599 - Added #ifdef NANO_SMALLs around the REVERSE_SEARCH code.
6601 - add #ifdef NANO_SMALL around toggles code.
6604 - Fixed an off by one that wasn't letting lines with odd #
6605 shortcuts work in certain cases.
6607 nano-1.1.0 - 07/15/2001
6609 - New global variables currshortcut and currslen to support using
6610 the mouse with the shortcuts. Also supports clicking on files
6611 in browser. Added #ifdef DISABLE_MOUSE around this code also.
6612 - Changed mouse disabling code from depending on --enable-tiny
6613 to its own flag, --disable-mouse. The --tiny option defines
6614 this automatically, but now just mouse support can be disabled
6616 - File Browser supports the "Goto Directory"
6617 - Added rcfile.c source file. Only includes much of anything when
6618 --enable-nanorc is used. Tons of new funcs, most notably
6619 do_rcfile() called from nano.c:main(). Added much needed
6620 function ncalloc(), will have to go through source code later
6621 and change the appropriate calls which used nmalloc for lack of
6622 an appropriate calloc function *** FIXME ***
6623 - After "Alternate" spell checker is called, cursor is repositioned on
6624 the same line as before ^T was pressed.
6625 - Moved config.h up in all .c files #include list (Albert Chin).
6626 - Added config.guess and config.sub to distribution because,
6627 apparently, newer autoconf/automakes can't live without them.
6628 - Various spelling updates by David Lawrence Ramsey.
6629 - Changed all string allocations to charalloc(), new function
6630 designed to take nmalloc argument but call calloc based on
6632 - New macro DISABLE_WRAPJUSTIFY to easily check for both wrapping
6633 and justify being disabled. This allows us to compile out the
6634 -r flag if neither are set, and will also allow us to comment
6635 out -W when it is written.
6636 - Allow fill to take a negative value to signify a "from right side"
6637 value. This allows the value to vary with the screen size yet
6638 still be correct. New static value wrap_at to minimize code
6639 impact. Updated man page and info file.
6640 - Allow file appending. New shortcut list nano_insertfile_list (since
6641 insert and write routines can't share shortcut lists anymore),
6642 new args to do_writeout and write_file called append, and of source
6643 code changes to those functions.
6644 - Allow backwards searching. Drastic rewrite of the search prompt
6645 string by Chris. All other code by Ken Tyler. New globals
6646 nano_reverse_msg, new functions revstrstr and revstrcasestr,
6647 many changes to search functions. Not too big a code size
6649 - Moved extension functions (Case Sensitive, Regexp, and Backwards
6650 Search, Append key in write file function) to Meta keys, as
6651 people are complaining loudly about nano not being control-key
6652 compatible with Pico, which is a Bad Thing (TM). Changes to
6653 shortcut_init, toggle_init, new toggles for backwards and regexp
6654 (and you can now toggle all search options including regexp at
6655 the Search: prompt!) Changes to nanogetstr to enable Meta
6656 keys to be grabbed, changes to onekey to print M-style shortcuts.
6657 - New macro TOGGLE which just toggles, no more silly checking
6658 ISSET and then using SET or UNSET when we want a simple toggle
6660 - Added multiple buffer capability (God help us). New configure
6661 option --enable-multibuffer (-F), changes to do_insertfile(),
6662 do_insertfile_void(), toggle_init(), do_gotoline(), edit_update(),
6663 and write_file(), new functions add_open_file(),
6664 open_file_change_name(), load_open_file(), open_file_dup_search(),
6665 open_file_dup_fix(), open_prevfile(), open_nextfile(),
6666 close_open_file(), get_full_path(), die_save_file(), etc.
6667 (David Lawrence Ramsey).
6668 - Using --enable-extra automatically defines --enable-multibuffer
6669 changes to version() and configure.in.
6670 - Moved to gettext 0.10.38 at the last second, sure to break
6671 something, but at least I can run make distcheck!
6673 - Include ABOUT-NLS and the new THANKS files to the distributed list.
6675 - Initial, incomplete list of people to thank.
6676 - Added some more people.
6678 - New option, --enable-nanorc, which allows people to have a .nanorc
6679 initialization file and set options normally used on the command
6680 line, and color later on.
6681 - Added --enable-color option to allow color and syntax highlighting
6685 - Remove useless statements (Rocco).
6686 cut_marked_segment()
6687 - Add bizarre copy of bot node, else *BSD goes ballistic (fixes
6689 - Added 'destructive' argument. Allows the selected text to be
6690 added to the cutbuffer without changing the contents of the
6691 file. This allows writing selection to separate files.
6693 - If the line is empty when using -k and wasn't already added,
6694 create a dummy line and add it to the cutbuffer (fixes bug #61)
6695 - Reset marked_cut if we blow away the cutbuffer.
6696 - Moved the case of current == mark_beginbuf into cut_marked
6697 segment, so do_writeout could call it when writing selection to
6700 - Reset cutbuffer even if we're uncutting marked or cut to end text!
6702 - Brought the FAQ up to date, many little changes (Jordi).
6703 - Added sections 3.7 and 3.8 for the multibuffer and nanorc support.
6706 - Minor fixes to the processing of SELECT function (Rocco)
6707 - Added the "Goto Directory" code (Rocco)
6708 - Don't shift the size of the file is it's less than 1K. Fixed
6709 files less than 1K being displayed as 0B (Rocco).
6710 - More Picoish keystrokes for the browser, ^P, ^N, etc, for up,
6711 down, etc, and add the consistent ^C to exit (Jim Knoble).
6713 - New code to allow writing selected text to a separate file.
6714 When this is done, the current state is preserved.
6716 - New arg, nonamechange, means whether or not to update the
6717 current filename after writing the file out.
6718 - Increment lineswritten when the very last line isn't null.
6719 Fixes off by one count when writing selection to file.
6721 - Updated some of the lists for the "Goto Directory" code (Rocco)
6724 - Rewritten with a loop to make screen updates work when
6725 mark is set (fixes bug #59).
6727 - Don't keep cutbuffer.
6729 - Added the missing -r flag (Jordi).
6732 - Reposition cursor on same line as before ^T was called (Rocco)
6734 - Add Alt-whatever-[a-d] support as well as Alt-whatever-[A-D].
6736 - Code to silently process "-g" and "-j" (Rocco)
6737 - Added Alt-[-7,8 support for home/end keys (Jeff Teunissen).
6739 - Reorder sigaction calls, use sigfillset() to stop SIGTSTP and
6740 SIGCONT from being interrupted, allows suspending nano
6741 to work more reliably, esp. with mutt, etc.
6743 - Don't try to play with the handler inside the handler. Just
6744 raise a SIGSTOP. We also now write the "use "fg"" message to
6745 stdout instead of stderr.
6746 - Added _POSIX_VDISABLE macro to fully ignore suspend keystroke.
6747 Eliminates the possibility that nano can be suspended when
6748 it's not supposed to be. Many many many thanks to Jordi and
6749 Tom Lear for helping out finding and fixing this bug!
6751 - Now just does a refresh call instead of playing with the SIGTSTP
6754 - Updated the BROWSER_LIST_LEN for the "Goto Directory" code (Rocco)
6756 - New shortcut list added: gotodir_list (Rocco).
6759 - Optimizations, remove "$" goes-to-last-line, less messages (Rocco)
6761 - If we manage to make it in somehow with VIEW_MODE on, abort
6762 nicely (fixes BUG #59).
6765 - Replaced by mutt's mutt_stristr function, because the thought
6766 of dynamically allocating memory and copying each line in a file
6767 to do a search or replace was causing me to lose sleep.
6770 - Remove inline from function decl (Albert Chin).
6772 - Added utils.c to the list.
6773 - po/es.po, po/ca.po:
6776 - Galician translation by Jacobo TarrĂo.
6777 - po/uk.po, po/ru.po:
6778 - New Ukrainian and Russian translations by Sergey A. Ribalchenko
6779 <fisher@obu.ck.ua>, thanks!
6781 - Updated Indonesian translation by Tedi Heriyanto.
6783 - Updated Italian translation by Marco Colombo.
6785 - New Norwegian translation by Eivind Kjørstad <ekj@vestdata.no>.
6787 - New Swedish translation by Christian Rose <menthos@menthos.com>.
6789 nano 1.1 tree forked here 04/07/2001
6791 nano 1.0.1 - 04/06/2001
6793 - added configure option --disable-wrapping. Does what it says,
6794 no wrapping or checks are done. Separate from --enable-tiny,
6795 some may want a bare-bones Pico clone that does wrap text.
6796 Affects configure, nano.c:do_char() and check_wrap() obviously,
6797 version(), and do_char().
6799 - Minor patch for intl check (really this time) (Albert Chin)
6801 - Fixed typo in section 6.1 (discovered by Bob Farmer).
6803 - fix two typos in comments, one in ChangeLog (Matthias Andree)
6805 - Stop abort on symlinks (Matthias Andree)
6806 - use strcasecmp to sort directory if available, pilot does that
6807 as well (Matthias Andree)
6808 filestat(), do_browse()
6809 - Changed lstat calls to stat, which fixes the browser not
6810 following links to directories. We only use lstat() when
6811 printing the details of the file, and if it is a link, then
6812 check via lstat() for link to a directory. If it is
6813 a directory, display (dir), else use the normal "--".
6815 - Fix broken size suffix off-by-one errors (Matthias Andree)
6816 cwd_tab_completion(), do_browse_from()
6817 - Use PATH_MAX instead of 0 arg to getcwd (Matthias Andree).
6818 - Changed above to use PATH_MAX only when defined on the
6819 system, as the HURD e.g. does not support it.
6822 - added intl/libintl.h to the rm -f rule, should fix the unresolved
6823 gettext symbols problem (Jordi).
6825 nano-1.0.0 - 03/22/2001
6827 - Added void to functions declared as () args, nano.c:do_mark()
6828 and search.c:regexp_cleanup(). (Christian Weisgerber).
6829 - Changed internal variables called "new" to "newnode" to avoid
6830 the "new" C++ reserved word, even though there is likely no way
6831 nano will EVER be compilable with a C++ compiler. (suggested by
6834 - Final tweaks for Nano 1.0.
6836 - Czech translation from Vaclav Haisman.
6838 - Added dir entry (Albert Chin).
6841 - Added NANO_BACK_KEY and NANO_FORWARD_KEY cases for left and right.
6843 1.0-test prerelease - 03/17/2001
6846 - Added case for autoindenting text causing new line (Adam).
6847 - Added SAMELINE case to above. Added checks to cases 1b and
6848 2b for placement of cursor.
6851 - Check for totlines < editwinrows in check for superfluous
6852 edit update (fixed BUG #57).
6855 - s/occurence/occurrence typos (Jordi).
6857 - If using Pico mode and regex and same answer is entered, use
6858 last_search string instead of answer (fixes BUG #56).
6860 - Meta-Z correction and grammar in --enable-tiny desc (Neil Parks).
6862 nano-0.9.99pre3 - 02/19/2001
6864 GNU compliance issues:
6865 - Reworked shortcut list, put "Get Help" into default list,
6866 removed "Goto Line", aligned "Read File" with "Write Out" and
6867 "Replace" with "Where is" for consistency.
6868 - Added texinfo manual nano.texi. Added texi options to
6871 - Autoconf compatibility fixes (Pavel Roskin)
6872 - Added separate check for resizeterm().
6873 - ALL_LINGUAS: added hu and ca.
6876 - marked text cut fixes (Rocco) (Fixes bug #54).
6879 - Added check for current->next == fileptr, as we have a magic
6880 line code again, fixes silliness at the end of the last line
6881 before the magic line (reported by J.A. Neitzel).
6883 - If the keystroke after the justify is not the unjustify key,
6884 blank the statusbar (bug reported by Neil Parks).
6886 - Added ENABLE_NLS check around gettext stuff.
6889 - Added localized yes, no and all strings to function and rewrote
6890 handler for the new format.
6892 - Translation updates by Florian König.
6894 - Translation updates by Pauli Virtanen.
6896 - Hungarian translation by Horvath Szabolcs.
6898 - Translation updates by Tedi Heriyanto.
6900 - Translation updates and grammatical/typo fixes (Jordi).
6902 - Catalan translation by Jordi Mallach :)
6903 - Miquel Vidal <miquel@sindominio.net> went over it and corrected
6904 many typos and completed bits that remained untranslated by error.
6906 nano-0.9.99pre2 - 01/31/2001
6908 - Removed center_x and center_y globals. center_y was
6909 completely unused and center_x was only used a few places,
6910 easily replaced with COLS / 2 (oops, not current_x & y (Rob)).
6911 - Deleted free_node, duplicate of delete_node, and changed all
6912 free_node calls to delete_node.
6913 - Fix for resizing the window in modes other than normal edit mode
6914 Changes to handle_sigwinch(), main(). Fixes bug #52 (Rocco).
6917 - Don't free() realname on error, if it needs to be free()d later
6918 it will be (fixes crash on successful write after failed write,
6919 discovered by David Sobon).
6920 username_tab_completion()
6921 - Optimization and removal of useless vars (Rocco).
6922 - Rewritten using getpwent (suggested by Rocco).
6923 - Removed redundant conditional (Rocco).
6924 real_dir_from_tilde()
6925 - Rewritten using getpwent (suggested by Adam, much optimized by
6928 - Don't define toggles global or toggle_init_one if using --tiny.
6931 - Added restoration of totsize after unjustify command.
6933 - Add arg to -T help (Rocco).
6934 global_init(), handle_sigwinch()
6935 - Messy loops replaced with memset calls (Rocco).
6937 - Added code to parse multi-word alt_speller strings.
6938 - Fix initialization before fork() (Rocco).
6940 - Fix do_credits() proto (oops!)
6943 - Sanity check for x overrunning the string buffer len.
6945 nano 0.9.99pre1 - 01/17/2001
6947 - Changed #ifdefs to check for both DISABLE_TABCOMP and
6948 NANO_SMALL, makes tiny option leave out tab completion, which
6949 should be left out in that circumstance. Saves at least 5k.
6950 - Previous change to #ifdefs DISABLE_TABCOMP and NANO_SMALL rolled
6952 - Various #ifdef & #ifndef cleanups. (Rocco)
6953 - Added message for when keypad goes awry. Added code in main and
6954 function print_numlock_warning() to notify user, and added an
6955 appropriate section in the faq to refer to this brokenness.
6956 - Added macros in nano.h for magic values that might be unclear in
6957 nano.c:global_init(). (Rocco)
6959 - Fix for _use_keypad check breaking slang support (Christian
6961 - Changed to automatically define the 5 DISABLE variables when
6962 NANO_SMALL (enable-tiny) is requested at configure.
6964 - Added some info on making the binary smaller with the configure
6966 - Added section on keypad bugginess.
6968 real_dir_from_tilde()
6969 - Oops, fix case where buf ="~", silly crash (bug discovered by
6972 - Added space and - keys to do page up and down.
6973 cwd_tab_completion(), input_tab()
6974 - Changed bare malloc/calloc calls to nmalloc (found by Rocco).
6975 - Added memset() to matchBuf to ensure sanity (Rocco, Adam).
6978 - New function, figures out what kbinput to return given
6979 input common to several switch statements, allows us to
6980 support the default Konsole key settings.
6982 - Alternate speller option no longer valid if DISABLE_SPELLER is
6984 - Removed direct calls to usage() (#else) for -k (cut) or -s (speller)
6985 options when these have been disabled. (Rocco)
6986 - Initialized kbinput to get around stupid compiler warning.
6988 - This function has been removed. All references now call
6989 nano_disabled_msg. (Rocco)
6991 - When NANO_SMALL (enable-tiny) is defined, the 5 main DISABLE
6992 variables (SPELLER, HELP, JUSTIFY, BROWSER, TABCOMP) are not
6993 reported as enabled when Nano is called with -V (--version)
6994 command line option. (Rocco)
6996 - Alternate speller option no longer valid if DISABLE_SPELLER is
6998 window_init(), handle_sigwinch()
6999 - Added check for not having enough LINES to do anything useful,
7000 if so die with an error. (Rocco)
7002 - Function to print the window too small error message, avoids
7003 repeated string defs and globals.
7005 - Small fix for totsize calculation (Rob)
7008 - Update by Pauli Virtanen.
7010 nano 0.9.25 - 01/07/2001
7012 - New file browser code. New functions in files.c:do_browser(),
7013 helper functions browser_init(), tail(), striponedir(),
7014 filestat(). New shortcut list browser_list. Some new
7015 strings to translate. Added function do_browse_from().
7016 - Keypad code has been changed slightly. Now checks for
7017 _use_keypad flag in window to see whether or not to turn
7018 the keypad() back off when finished (taken from aumix). Moved
7019 to winio.c where it should probably be anyway. New configure
7020 check for _use_keypad in window struct. This will have to do
7022 - Moved keypad() calls for PDCurses from main() to window_init()
7023 so the keypad continues to work after a Meta-X, for example.
7026 - Fix typos and small mistakes (Jordi).
7028 username_tab_completion()
7029 - Added the (char *) sizeof when allocating memory for the filename
7031 cwd_tab_completion()
7032 - removed skipping . and .. when tabulating matches.
7033 - Added the (char *) sizeof when allocating memory for the filename
7036 - Now takes an argument so the string typed in can be retained
7037 when calling the browser.
7039 - Don't decrement longest by the length of path. Fixes crashes
7040 on entering various dirs (Rocco).
7041 - Don't ungetch() the exit key, unneeded, fixes inserting a file
7045 - Don't do an edit_update when there is only one page of text
7046 (fileage == edittop && filebot == editbot). Fixes Bug #50.
7049 - Reorder the getopt options to be more or less alphabetical
7050 (suggested by Sven Guckes).
7053 - Optimizations and cleanups by Rocco Corsi.
7055 - Spell Erik Andersen's name right.
7057 - Now takes an arg, needed for browser function.
7059 - Changed way of temporarily bringing up shortcuts at the
7060 bottom in the help screen (actually works).
7063 - Takes char pointers now instead of void (makes debugging a
7065 - Duh, don't do anything if src == dest!
7067 - Updates for file browser (Jordi).
7069 nano 0.9.24 - 12/18/2000
7071 - Added --disable-help option, affects acconfig.h, configure(.in),
7072 winio.c:do_help, nano.c:help_init,help_text_init,version.
7073 - Changed filename to no longer use PATH_MAX, so it can work on the
7074 HURD. Changes in files.c:write_file(), new function
7075 nano.c:clear_filename(), many changed in main(), a few other
7076 places. Please test this!
7077 - Added -b, -e, and -f flags, which we ignore as nano provides
7078 their functionality already.
7081 - Fix renumbering bug when uncutting marked text at filebot.
7082 - Fix screen not being displayed when we are uncutting marked
7083 text at editbot (Bug discovered by Ken Tyler).
7084 - Fix magic line not getting created when (you guessed it)
7085 uncutting marked text at filebot (Ryan Krebs).
7088 - If we encounter an error and insert is not set, run new_file().
7089 (bug discovered by Ben Roberts).
7091 - Change open call flags, basically copy joe's way of doing it so
7092 a more recent version will actually be included in (un)stable.
7093 - Remove useless fstat call.
7095 - Added check for S_ISBLK and S_ISCHR, don't open device files!
7098 - Don't stupidly assign the value of prev->lineno if prev == NULL!
7100 - Added code to check for Alt-Alt (27-27) keystrokes and set the
7101 next keystroke as a control sequence. New variable
7102 modify_control_key. Removed #ifdef _POSIX_VDISABLE check
7103 around Control-S,Q,Z handlers because we need it now for
7105 - Added --view option to getopt_long() call. Bug discovered
7108 - Fix off by one error that was making ^G help in normal mode and
7109 ^_ in Pico mode not be displayed in the help (bug discovered by
7112 - Added fix_editbot() call to fix improper redisplay of edit
7113 window when using nohelp toggle (bug discovered by Rocco Corsi).
7114 - nano.1, nano.1.html:
7115 - Updated man page for -b, -e, -f and expanded explanation for -p.
7118 - Force keypad on so F-keys and PageUp/Down will work properly.
7119 Added check for NANO_EXIT_FKEY to loop.
7122 - Increment totsize!! We decrement it when we've read a file,
7123 everywhere else it should automatically be incremented
7125 nano 0.9.23 - 12/08/2000
7127 - Changed --disable-spell to --disable speller. The term is
7128 "speller" for -s, so it should be --disable-speller.
7131 - Added tmp check to TMP_OPT section (how appropriate).
7132 - Added new consistency checking code from securityfocus
7133 article by Oliver Friedrichs, and use O_EXCL if tmp == 1.
7134 - We now run check on result of lstat(), not stat(), to be
7135 safer. New variable anyexists, we use still use realexists
7136 later in the program.
7137 - OOPS, line up link/unlink/rename check if conditional with
7138 top if conditional. Option -l has been broken for 9 versions,
7140 - Added saving perms at end of link so we can apply them to the
7141 new file if --nofollow is used.
7144 - Off by one display error (fix by Rocco Corsi).
7145 do_replace_highlight()
7146 - New code to handle being past COLS (Rocco Corsi).
7147 - Moved from search.c, as it's definitely a winio function now =)
7149 - More '$' display fixes (Rocco Corsi).
7151 nano 0.9.22 - 12/02/2000
7153 - Username tab completion code, and cleaned up existing tabcomp
7154 code. New functions real_dir_from_tide(), append_slash_if_dir(),
7155 username_tab_completion is more than a stub now =-).
7156 - Ignore key sequence 543 & 545, right control and alt keys in
7157 windows. Affects main() and winio.c:nanogetstr().
7158 - Took out help from spell_list and changed SPELL_LIST_LEN to 1.
7159 Is using a spell checker THAT difficult? =-)
7160 - New function nano_disabled_msg(), to alert that certain
7161 functions have been disabled, similar to nano_tiny feature.
7162 - New configure options:
7163 - Added configure argument --disable-tabcomp. Affects
7164 bottom of files.c and write_file, utils.c:check_wildcard_match()
7165 and winio.c:nanogetstr().
7166 - New options --enable-extra. New code in nano.c:version() to
7167 print out various options from ./configure, function do_credits().
7168 - Added --disable-spell option for those who want to just disable
7169 the spell check feature. Affects the spelling functions
7170 do_spell, do_int_speller and do_alt_speller.
7171 - Added --disable-justify to get rid of the justify function.
7172 Affects do_justify() (not surprisingly).
7175 - Unsetting modified on temp files bug fixed (Rocco Corsi).
7176 - Okay, if tmp == 1 and the file exists, we abort.
7178 - Added call to real_name_from tilde, oops. Added check for
7181 - Added check for fileptr == NULL.
7184 - Now takes an argument as to whether to display the unjustify
7185 shortcut or the normal uncut text one. Needed to accommodate
7186 the kludgey unjustify code.
7187 - nano.1, nano.1.html:
7188 - Updated date on pages because of -p changes.
7189 - Added "NOTES" section, where I explain what nano.save & friends
7191 - Added a copyright notice for the manpage, under the GPL.
7192 - Other minor changes.
7195 - Wrote unjustify code. Borrows cutbuffer and stores the unjustified
7196 text there, then grabs the next keystroke and, if the unjustify
7197 key, gets rid of the justified text and calls do_uncut_text.
7198 Added macro NANO_UNJUSTIFY_KEY.
7200 - Various fixes (Rocco Corsi).
7201 - Changed abort of program to aborting based on value of "edit a
7202 replacement" question, and not caring about the replace loop
7203 return value. That way the user can get out of the replace loop
7204 and continue spell checking (very important to me anyway).
7206 - Took out huge check for the various --disabled macros,
7207 eventually there will be too many to reasonably check for.
7208 nano_small_msg(), nano_disabled_msg()
7209 - Added checks for disabled functions to see whether or not to
7212 - Update the previous line as well as the current one in case we
7213 have moved beyond COLS or back from COLS, patch submitted
7216 - Now creates .save file using variable-length strings. Also
7217 calls write_file with tmp == 1, which happens to do exactly what
7218 we want (abort on save file exists and use mode 0600).
7220 - Now calls die instead of writing on its own and exiting normally.
7222 do_replace_highlight()
7223 - New function, displays the currently selected word as highlighted
7224 in the spell check. Called from do_replace_loop (Rocco Corsi).
7225 - Added calls to curs_set(0) and (1) to disable the cursor when
7226 highlighting, looks much better.
7228 - Traditional Spanish strings updates.
7230 nano 0.9.21 - 11/23/2000
7232 - Added Rocco Corsi.
7235 - Changed check for argc == 1 to argv[optind] == NULL to decide
7236 whether or not to display "New File" in the statusbar.
7239 - Fix current_x increment bug by using another variable (Rocco Corsi).
7241 - Silly typo in our "one simple call" of statusq. Stopped
7242 previous search string from being displayed.
7244 - Copy back the previous value of last_replace into answer if
7245 using PICO_MODE and answer == ""
7248 - Deleted first update_line() call, screws up display when marker is
7250 - nano.1, nano.1.html
7251 - Updated man page for new -p definition.
7253 nano 0.9.20 - 11/18/2000
7255 - Ran source through indent -kr again. Make everything pretty.
7256 - Changed behavior of "search" and "replace" prompts to make all
7257 previous values editable. This change was made so that you can
7258 replace with the null string without needing a special key for it.
7259 changed code in search_init(), do_replace(), nanogetstr (see
7261 - Added some missing gettext calls here and there (Jordi).
7262 - Revamped nanogetstr() and calls to it to use variable length
7264 MANY changes in nanogetstr(), many chances in search.c, new
7265 function mallocstrcpy which is sure to be a programmatic
7266 nightmare, changed last_search, last_replace, answer to
7267 pointers. New function not_found_msg in search.c for displaying
7268 truncated strings in statusbar when the string is not found
7269 (-pedantic fixes by Rocco Corsi). We disable this feature when
7270 using PICO_MODE (-p).
7271 - New spelling code by Rocco Corsi. New functions
7272 do_int_speller, do_alt_speller, changes to do_spell in nano.c,
7273 New functions search_init_globals and do_replace_loop, changes
7274 to search_init(), do_replace, findnextstr, moved last_search and
7275 last_replace back to nano.c (*shrug*).
7276 - New tab completion code. Used check_wildcard_match, input_tab,
7277 cwd_tab_completion, username_tab_completion from busybox,
7278 hacked them a lot, changes to nanogetstr(). nanogetstr() and
7279 statusq() now take an arg for whether or not to allow tab
7281 - Fixed value being input in statusbar during a search or replace
7282 and CASE_SENSITIVE or the other search is called and the
7283 string being typed in is blown away. Reported by Ken Tyler.
7284 - Changed PICO_MSGS flag to PICO_MODE, changed help strings
7288 - Change strcpy to answer to mallocstrcpy.
7290 - New global replace_list_2, for 2nd half of the replace dialog
7291 ("Replace with:"), has fewer options than first half because
7292 they were inappropriate.
7294 - Added #ifdef around toggle_regex_msg to get rid of compiler
7299 - New function, toggles turning the keypad on and off in edit and
7300 bottomwin(). Added call to this in finish(), fixes bug #45.
7303 - New arg for begin_x variable, basically a rewrite that
7304 makes a little more sense and isn't quite as messy (Rocco Corsi).
7305 - Update the line we're checking if not the whole screen, because
7306 it's quite possible the search team could exist somewhere way
7307 to the right on the same line, for example.
7309 - Add reset of placewewant, stops cursor from jumping when moving
7310 cursor after a replace.
7312 - Added code for Gotoline key after entering the search term.
7314 - Removed redundant code involving processing replacement string.
7315 Converted if statements to switch statements.
7316 - Optimizations by Rocco Corsi.
7317 - Removed code for deleted shortcuts from in replace_list_2.
7319 - Converted if statements to one switch statement.
7322 - Added check for 343 in while loop to get rid of getting "locked"
7323 into statusbar" bug in odd $TERMs like iris-ansi.
7324 - Changed check to return -2 on "enter" from answer == ""
7326 - Fixed fallthrough code because there was no break. Make much
7328 - Added check for ASCII 54[124] when using PDCurses, ignore them
7331 - New function, removes about 30 lines of duplicate code in
7333 - Black magic code to make $ appear in prompt if we're past
7336 - Removed wrefresh() call, much less choppy now. If there's a need
7337 for a wrefresh after a specific call, let me know.
7339 - Updated translation for 0.9.20 (Jordi).
7341 nano 0.9.19 - 10/02/2000
7343 - Added PDCurses support under cygwin, which allows building
7344 a nice stand-alone nano.exe for those poor Windows users.
7345 Extra check in configure.in for initscr() in -lcurses (as
7346 PDcurses has no tgetent), some #ifdef PDCURSES statements
7348 - Changed web site and email to new nano-editor.org domain.
7350 - Added (int) casts to remove compile warnings with -Wall.
7352 - Added check for _POSIX_VDISABLE around term variable definition.
7354 - Added initializations for last_search and last_replace (Rocco Corsi)
7356 nano 0.9.18 - 09/18/2000
7358 - Changed _POSIX_VERSION checks in regex code to HAVE_REGEX_H,
7359 added check for regex.h in configure.in.
7361 - Added default case for cross-compiling to get rid of annoying
7365 - Don't immediately abort if we're on filebot and the marker is
7366 set (fixes bug #42).
7369 - Fix for bug #44 (Rocco Corsi).
7372 - Added in FKEYs that for some reason were left out. *boggle*
7375 - Added check for _POSIX_VDISABLE and use raw mode if not
7376 available, allows nano to work with cygwin.
7377 - Added gettext calls to enable/disable strings (Jordi).
7378 - Revamped a great deal of the F-key and keypad key handling,
7379 because we not longer use keypad() (see below).
7380 - Removed keypad() call because nano was not working with the
7381 keypad in many terms, which is very bad.
7382 - Made insert key call do_insertfile().
7384 - Rewrote function to allow NOHELP toggle to work on systems
7385 without a working resizewin(). New function window_init().
7387 - Add keypad only if mouse support is on, otherwise mouse doesn't
7388 work. I guess you have to choose between having the mouse and
7389 having a working keypad for the time being (thank god for Meta-M).
7392 - Added titlebar() call.
7394 - Off by one error fix fix ;-) (Rocco Corsi).
7398 - Reset starting at current for search instead of begin.
7400 - Translated new strings and minor updates (Jordi).
7402 - Revised translations by floki@bigfoot.com
7404 nano-0.9.17 - 09/04/2000
7406 - New shortcuts to toggle certain options that are normally only
7407 flags via Alt/Meta. See Alt-C,E,I,K,M,P,X,Z. New struct called
7408 toggles in nano.h, toggle_init(), toggle_init_one() in global.c
7409 called from shortcut_init(), and do_toggle in nano.c. Also
7410 moved the signal code into a separate function in nano.c called
7411 signal_init(). Moved "struct sigaction act"into a static in
7413 - Changed from Alt-key symbol (@) which is completely nonstandard
7414 to the *nix "Meta" symbol (M-). Changed help_init to show
7415 the M-key usage and the help text to explain keys which generate
7416 Meta. Moved the toggle Meta keystrokes to the first column
7417 instead of the third as they are the primary keystrokes for the
7418 functions. Thanks Mini editor team :->
7419 - Changed last_search and last_replace vars to statically
7420 allocated (hence nulled) and moved to search.c (Matt Kraai).
7423 - Changed "No auto wrap" and "No help mode" to "Auto wrap" and
7424 "Help mode". See the change to do_toggle() below.
7427 - Patch for handling lines w/tabs and mouse better (Ben Roberts).
7429 - Made wrapping code less ambitious.
7431 - Added checks for no help and no wrap mode, and print opposite
7432 enable/disable message.
7433 do_suspend(), do_cont():
7434 - New functions, handle suspend signal in a Pico-like manner and
7438 - Added edit_refresh() call to actually update the screen if messy.
7439 edit_refresh_clearok()
7440 - New function, does a total update for edit refresh, needed to fix
7441 lack of reversed text on searching with MARK_ISSET.
7443 - Off by one error fix (Rocco Corsi).
7446 - Added check for binary data >= 1 and <= 26, and use ^+letter
7447 to display it. Should fix editing text files with binary
7448 data in them. Placing of the cursor seems to be a bit screwed
7452 - Now calls edit_refresh_clearok when MARK_ISSET to handle screen
7453 ugliness bug (reported by Ken Tyler).
7455 - Added reset for placewewant (Ben Roberts).
7456 - Fixed check for string that only occurs on the same line failing
7457 (discovered by Ken Tyler).
7459 nano-0.9.16 - 08/09/2000
7462 - Fixed getting locked into cutbuffer on cutting first line of file.
7463 - Added check_statblank().
7464 - Check for fileptr == filebot, if so return, we shouldn't bother
7465 cutting the magic line.
7467 - Added check_statblank().
7470 - Changed tabsize long arg to actually accept an argument *sigh*.
7471 - po/Makefile.in.in:
7472 - Patch to handle $DESTDIR (orig by Dan Harnett contributed by
7473 Christian Weisgerber)
7475 - New (and severally revised =) slang test code (Albert Chin-A-Young)
7477 nano-0.9.15 - 08/03/2000
7478 - Changed edit_update call to take arguments TOP, CENTER or BOTTOM.
7479 Affects many many functions. Removed functions edit_update_top and
7481 - Added global variable tabsize, we no longer screw with the curses
7482 library in order to implement -T (suggested by Christian Weisgerber).
7484 - Finally fixed check for slang to report "no" if not called
7485 with --with-slang or --without-slang
7488 - New function, abstracts linking in nodes. Fixes bug #36.
7490 - New function, nulls a string at a given index and realigns it.
7492 - Removed, same as free_filestruct().
7494 - Now calls page_up_center instead of page_up (as it should?)
7496 - Fixed typo (?) in check for inptr->next. Caused lots of
7497 grief for editing lines at filebot.
7499 - Removed now useless usertabsize variable (Christian Weisgerber).
7502 - redundant, now just calls search abort until it does something
7506 - Added check for current line "running" off the screen.
7507 Hopefully this will not cause any recursive lockups.
7508 (Who am I kidding, of course it will!)
7509 - Added check to stop infinite loop calling edit_update.
7511 - Rewritten, hopefully this will remove a lot of the
7512 scrolling the cursor back and forth needlessly.
7515 - do an edit_update() at last case. Made function more like
7516 Pico's version, only move down to two lines before editbot.
7518 - Made function more like Pico's version, only move down to two
7519 lines after edittop.
7521 nano-0.9.14 - 07/27/2000
7523 - Set CUT_TO_END to a different bit than TEMP_OPT. Fixes bug #32.
7526 - Added check for MARK_ISSET when using CUT_TO_END. Fixes bug #31.
7527 - Simplified check for freeing cutbuffer. Added checks for doing
7528 multiple cuts with -k, now sets marked_cut to 2 for later
7529 processing by do_uncut_text().
7531 - Added handler for uncutting with -k cuts.
7534 - Removed (redundant) check for writing out files with -t.
7536 - Changed check for filename to filename[0]. Added some code,
7537 overall fixes bug #30 =-)
7539 do_justify() & do_wrap():
7540 - totsize-related fixes (Rob)
7542 - Revised translations by floki@bigfoot.com
7544 nano-0.9.13 - 07/23/2000
7545 - Implemented Pico's -k mode. New flag CUT_TO_END, option (-k, --cut),
7546 affects do_cut_text in cut.c. Not available with SMALL_NANO because it
7547 depends on the marker code which is not available with that setting.
7548 - Changed static temp_opt to flag TEMP_OPT. Fixed bug #29 (using
7549 -t with an unwritable file causes users to get locked into editor).
7552 - Don't edit_refresh() if the bottom of the file is in the edit
7556 - TABSIZE now set before first call to edit_refresh (Bill Soudan)
7557 - Different ^C kill code (patch by Christian Weisgerber).
7559 - More intelligent emergency-save filename selection (Rob)
7561 - Changed exit semantics a bit so that aspell wouldn't get
7562 all screwy (bug discovered by Joshua Jensen.
7565 - Added init of buf variable, hopefully this will stop the
7566 "bleeding" of text seen with mutt and using i18n.
7568 - Added code to check to see if using -l and the file is not
7569 in fact a link. This should fix the behavior where a file
7570 that does not have write permission but could be removed and
7571 rewritten is saved without error. Please test this feature
7575 - Added " (to replace)" statement to end of search string if
7576 we are doing a replace. Manually converted all the translations
7577 from '%s' to '%s%s' to ensure they still work with the new code.
7578 Also put in the translation for " (replace)" in the .po's. Hope
7579 I didn't step on your toes doing this Jordi. (Chris)
7580 do_search(), do_replace():
7581 - Removed call to search_abort()/replace_abort() before call to
7582 the opposite function.
7585 - do not center string found if it is currently visible. (Adam)
7587 - French update by Clement Laforet <clem_laf@wanadoo.fr>.
7589 - Updated strings to 0.9.13 (Jordi).
7591 nano-0.9.12 - 07/07/2000
7593 - New regexp search feature by Bill Soudan. New flags USE_REGEXP
7594 and REGEXP_COMPILED, new functions regexp_init, regexp_cleanup
7595 replace_line, replace_regexp in search.c, changes to
7596 search_init() and do_replace() and strstrwrapper().
7597 - Added _POSIX_VERSION check to regexp code. Better than nothing
7598 for non-POSIX systems...
7599 - Made search functions & keys more like Pico. Added goto line from
7600 search and replace function, changed wording to "No Replace" instead
7601 of "To Search", "To Replace" to simply "Replace", and changed to
7602 Pico's keystroke by default, ^R. Affects search_init(),
7603 do_search() in search.c, globals in nano.h and
7604 shortcut_init() in global.c.
7605 - changed 'sprintf' calls to safer 'snprintf' (Rob)
7607 - further totsize update corrections
7609 - changed do_insertfile to call fix_editbot (Rob)
7610 - Magic Line code in read_file (Rob)
7612 - Removed dual alt_speller variables, oops! (Rocco Corsi)
7613 - Removed unnecessary do_oldspell function (Rocco Corsi). Added
7614 SMALL_NANO #ifdef around actual spell function.
7615 - Moved page_up() to move.c where is belongs.
7616 - Corrected FIXME in do_enter with explanation. (Rob)
7617 - Fixed FIXME in do_justify, resulted in creation of
7618 fix_editbot [also fixed in do_enter] (winio.c) (Rob)
7620 - Moved newline out of if statement (Rocco Corsi)
7622 - Magic Line related code in do_char (Rob)
7623 do_backspace(), do_delete():

7633 - Added stdlib.h to includes, found by OpenBSD gcc.
7634 - lots of new commenting around display functions
7635 do_yesno(), nanogetstr():
7636 - Removed now unnecessary raw/cbreak combos.
7637 - Removed gettext calls from "Y(es)", "N(o)", "A(ll)" and "^C", till
7638 we decide if those keybindings should be translated. (Jordi)
7640 - Removed wrefresh(edit) call.
7642 - Fixed a bug that caused nano to not update when
7643 current->next == NULL (e.g. paging down to the very bottom of
7644 ABOUT NLS wouldn't work).
7646 - Added (should rebuild editbot from a valid edittop) (Rob)
7648 - removal of redundant call to mvwaddnstr
7650 nano-0.9.11 - 06/20/2000
7651 - New flag "-T" or "--tabsize" to specify how to display tab widths.
7652 Affects main() in nano.c, strlenpt(), xpt() and actual_x() (et al) in
7653 winio.c, and nano.h. Many hardcoded "8"s have been changed to the
7654 TABSIZE int. Added changes to nano.1 and nano.1.html.
7656 - Indonesian translation by Tedi Heriyanto.
7658 - Updated translation (Jordi Mallach).
7660 - Rewrite of display functions to correct the display problems
7661 we had been seeing. Affects: add_marked_sameline, edit_add,
7662 and many others. (Rob Siemborski)
7663 - totsize fixes (Rob Siemborski)
7665 - Cut display_main_list call, as this function is only supposed to
7666 refresh what's already on the screen, not go through the process
7667 of adding the text again.
7669 - totsize fixes (Rob Siemborski)
7671 - experimental do_wrap and check_wrap (Adam Rogoyski)
7672 - Removed editwineob, as it was redundant for (editwinrows - 1).
7673 Changed all calls to editwinrows - 1 in nano.c and move.c.
7674 - Removed all functions that were split into other files.
7675 Affects LOTS of funcs.
7677 - Added reset of placewewant to end.
7679 - Fix display problem when using ctrl-r to load a file
7680 into the buffer (Rob Siemborski)
7682 - Added titlebar(), edit_refresh() and display_main_list() calls
7683 because a resize wasn't picking up on possible different width
7686 - Moved nmalloc() and nrealloc() here.
7688 - New file, contains movement functions (like do_home(), do_up(),
7689 do_down(), page_up(), etc...).
7691 - Contains functions for files (read_file, insert_file,
7692 do_writeout(), etc).
7694 - Contains all our searching and related functions, (do_search(),
7695 findnextstr(), do_replace(), do_gotoline()).
7697 nano-0.9.10 - 06/04/2000
7699 - Translation updates (Jordi).
7700 - AUTHORS, nano.1.html, TODO, README:
7701 - Documentation and email address updates (Jordi).
7704 - Moved Adam's termio code down to after getopt() and before initscr()
7705 to stop people losing their SIGINT character when using args that
7706 exit nano before it runs (--version, --help, etc).
7708 nano-0.9.9 - 05/31/2000
7710 - Added proper lines for defining LOCALEDIR.
7712 - Spelling fixes (Jordi Mallach)
7713 - Removed CFLAGS changes for gcc, reduces portability according to
7714 some, and it certainly doesn't seem to decrease exe size.
7716 - Spanish translation updates (Jordi Mallach)
7718 - Added global.c file, was screwing up translations (i.e. they
7719 weren't getting done).
7722 - Added totsize increment.
7723 - Cut fixes and optimizations (Rob Siemborski).
7725 - Added totsize increment in several places.
7728 - Removed LOCALEDIR define.
7730 - Added edit_refresh() call (bug discovered by Adam).
7732 - Added call to edit_update(current) for last case. Removed
7733 increment of current_y since it's now just wasteful.
7735 - Added totsize increment.
7736 renumber(), renumber_all():
7737 - Removed totsize-- and totsize init in renumber_all.
7739 - Added edit_refresh() call to show highlight updates. Removed
7740 unnecessary wrefresh(edit).
7742 - Moved up locale calls so that translated --help messages would
7743 actually get translated.
7744 do_backspace(), do_delete():
7745 - Added decrement of totsize.
7747 - New function, initializes help text if NANO_SMALL isn't set (fixes
7750 - malloc call changed to nmalloc (Rob Siemborski).
7753 - Completely rewrote function, not quite so brain-damaged now.
7755 nano-0.9.8 - 05/18/2000
7758 - Added awesome code that disables the CINTR and CQUIT
7759 character (Adam Rogoyski). Removed raw()/noraw() calls so that
7760 nano gets input in 'normal' mode, which is the Right Way(tm) to
7761 do it. ^S, ^Z and ^Q now work properly as a result, as well as
7762 ^C. New variable term, global variable oldterm to save previous
7763 term settings, and changes to finish() and die().
7764 - Added extra #ifdefs in getopt code, so that above code and
7765 flag init is run even if GETOPT_LONG is not #defined.
7766 - Added memset line before sigactions. (Adam Rogoyski)
7768 Removed function, see above for why.
7770 update_line(), center_cursor():
7771 - Removed wrefresh(edit) from bottom of functions. wrefresh
7772 should now only be called once, at the bottom of the main()
7776 - Removed suspend sc_init call and suspend message because suspend
7777 is no longer needed in the shortcut list to work properly.
7779 nano-0.9.7 - 05/14/2000
7781 do_home(), do_end():
7782 - Added calls to update_line for the current line, fixes
7783 lack of update (bug discovered by Alberto GarcĂa).
7785 - Added SET(FOLLOW_SYMLINKS) before getopt call, fixes not
7786 following symlinks even when -l isn't set, and "no changes"
7787 error when nano is called from crontab -e (Adam Rogoyski).
7790 - Added edit_update_top to cut when mark is set, fixes lack of
7791 display update (bug discovered by Ken Tyler).
7793 nano-0.9.6 - 05/08/2000
7794 - New Italian translation (it.po), by Daniele Medri.
7796 page_up(), page_down():
7797 - Added reset of placewewant to 0, as it should be.
7799 - Added call to update_line() for line we move from and line we
7800 move to, in order to keep the highlighting correct.
7802 - Added var chop, new code to wrap lines more like Pico, mostly.
7803 THIS STILL DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REWRITTEN!
7806 - Added edit_refresh() before exit.
7808 - Removed cursor updating which really wasn't needed anyway.
7810 - Removed yucky code that didn't work, this function now just
7811 computes edittop and editbot and calls edit_refresh() to do the
7812 rest, which removes a lot of duplicate code...
7814 nano-0.9.5 - 05/01/2000
7815 - Removed bytes from file struct because it was computationally wasteful.
7818 - Added call to edit_refresh().
7821 - Added reset of editbot when deleting the last line of the file
7822 (bug discovered by Adam).
7824 - Removed call to reset_cursor().
7826 - Added similar check as to do_backspace().
7828 - Added call to edit_refresh().
7830 - Added call to update_line(), still redundant but better...
7832 - Added refresh calls both for current line and line to which
7835 - Removed inefficient call to edit_refresh() after every keystroke.
7836 It is now up each function to leave the screen in a good state.
7839 - Rewritten to not use bytes from filestruct by an incremental sum.
7840 update_line(), reset_cursor():
7841 - Optimized calls to xplustabs() through a single variable.
7842 - update_line() now takes a new arg, an index into the string
7843 for where to update the line from. Needed for new update
7846 - Better checks for slang, allows argument to --with-slang.
7847 (Albert Chin-A-Young)
7848 - Removed -Iintl from CFLAGS in gcc check.
7850 - Addition of -Iintl for gettext (Albert Chin-A-Young)
7852 nano-0.9.4 - 04/25/2000
7853 - Fixed calls to no_help and changed them to the more consistent
7854 ISSET(NO_HELP). Fixed return val of no_help to be what it should (2,
7855 not 1. Code to temporarily disable NO_HELP when in the
7856 help system. (Adam Rogoyski)
7858 do_marked_cut(), do_cut(), do_uncut():
7859 - Commented out unnecessary bits when NANO_SMALL is being used.
7861 xpt(), strlenpt(), actual_x():
7862 - Added check for value of data[i] & 0x80, if so do not make
7863 character 2 chars wide (orig. by Chris, 0x80 check by Adam).
7865 - New check for temp == NULL (bad thing), if so go back to the
7866 previous line. New filestruct var hold points to prev line.
7867 Fixes segfault when paging down to the end of a file.
7870 - Added check for if file exists and is not equal to the current
7871 filename, prompt for overwrite (Adam Rogoyski).
7873 - Removed check for current->next == NULL, now checks return value
7874 of do_down before setting current_x = 0 (discovered by Adam).
7876 - Fixed segfault when reaching the last line (tried to assign
7877 current->next->data when current->next == NULL) (discovered
7880 - Removed extra macro defs that are now in nano.h.
7882 - Changed macro SET() to use |= instead of ^=. Fixes bug in
7883 cut code when cutting more than one line, and cutbuffer gets
7884 blown away when it shouldn't.
7886 nano-0.9.3 - 04/29/2000
7889 - Fixed off by one error in cut code for marked text.
7891 - Removed check for being on the last line, part of
7894 - Moved tmp->prev = inptr line to part where cutbuffer != NULL.
7895 - Added inptr->prev = NULL for case where cutbuffer == NULL.
7897 do_backspace(), do_char():
7898 - Removed "magic line" code. It was basically causing more bugs
7899 than it was helping for the sake of compatibility. This fixes
7900 at least one known segfault condition.
7902 - Added setting editbot to new node if the new node is the last
7905 - Changed writing file behavior. Now, if last line of the file
7906 has any data on it, we write a newline on it, else we don't.
7908 add_marked_sameline():
7909 - New code that checks for whether the begin and end of the marker
7910 are on different lines. Missing previously.
7912 - added some more checks for text length. Cleaned up some
7913 mvwaddnstrs that could be written more simply as waddnstrs.
7915 - Removed check for temp == filebot, it is now treated like any other
7916 line. Fixes a bug where selected text on the last line shows
7919 - Removed an extra computation for tabs variable that was incorrect.
7921 - Since xpt now actually works, this func is now just a wrapper for
7922 xpt(current, current_x)
7923 - nano.1, nano.1.html:
7924 - Added -l option to man pages.
7926 - New option --enable-tiny, #defines NANO_SMALL in config.h.
7927 Disables call to gettext in functions and other i18n stuff in
7928 nano.c, the detailed help mode, the resize functions, and the
7929 justify code which no one ever uses.
7930 - New option --with-slang. Enables slang libraries instead of
7931 ncurses, requires slcurses.h for wrapper functions. (Based
7932 on patches for 0.8.7 by Glenn McGrath).
7934 nano-0.9.2 - 04/15/2000
7935 - This release just fixes the serious segfault problem if nano is
7936 invoked any way other than using the absolute path. The bug was
7937 in the new code for checking whether nano is invoked as 'pico'.
7939 nano-0.9.1 - 04/14/2000
7940 - Added Pico compatibility for ^T when in search or switch to switch
7941 to the opposite function. Added one to REPLACE_LIST_LEN and
7942 WHEREIS_LIST_LEN in nano.h, new args to sc_init_one in global.c and
7943 new strings that will have to be gettext()ed. New argument 'replacing'
7944 to search_init(). Handlers in do_replace and do_search().
7945 - New write code, now follows symbolic links instead of replacing them
7946 with the new file. New option (-l, --nofollow) to enable the old
7947 (incorrect, but secure) behavior (Adam Rogoyski).
7950 - Fixed another bug relating to wrapping, and which would cause
7953 - Incremented current_x by the length of the replacement
7954 text inside the main replace loop. Fixes bug #15.
7955 add_marked_sameline():
7956 - New function, handles marked text when start & end of marker is
7957 on one line, also supports most marked text when cursor > COLS.
7959 - Code to check if nano is invoked as 'pico', and if so
7960 automatically set pico_msgs (Robert Jones).
7962 nano-0.9.0 - 04/07/2000
7963 - nano.1, nano.1.html: Updated man page with my email address and homepage.
7965 reset_cursor(), update_line():
7966 - Changed update algorithm for x value to (COLS - 7) multiple when x
7969 - Removed inner loop code, now calls update_line() for each line
7970 in question, MUCH nicer.
7971 - xplustabs(), xpt():
7972 - Removed redundant increment of tabs when column no % 8 == 0.
7973 - Added check for data[i] < 32, most of such bits are 2 chars wide.
7975 - Fixed a stupid call to strlenpt with col when we should have
7976 been using actual_col. Ugh.
7978 nano-0.8.9 - 03/22/2000
7980 empty_line(), no_spaces(), justify_format(), do_justify():
7981 Actually added these (screwup applying patch).
7982 do_justify(): Added call to set_modified().
7984 nano-0.8.8 - 03/12/2000
7985 - Preliminary internationalization support. Many many functions modified
7986 to use gettext (via _() macro). es.po file included. (Jordi Mallach)
7987 New dirs po/ and intl/, changes to configure.in and Automake.am to
7990 includes: Added sys/param.h and limits.h. (Adam Rogoyski).
7991 statics: Changed some things that were not necessarily static
7993 nrealloc(): New function, similar to nmalloc(). Changed calls from
7994 realloc() to nrealloc (Adam Rogoyski).
7995 empty_line(), no_spaces(), justify_format(), do_justify():
7996 New functions for justify function (Adam Rogoyski).
7998 blank_edit(): Added wrefresh call to edit so that screen updates (like
7999 on ^L) actually work.
8000 xplustabs(), xpt(), strlenpt(): Fixed off-by-one buglets (Adam Rogoyski).
8002 nano-0.8.7 - 03/01/2000
8004 do_wrap(): Better fix for segfaults, and fix for lines being wrapped
8005 to a single character on one line when no good place to
8006 break the line exists, and for wrapping lines longer than
8009 Html version of man page, now included in dist. For
8010 the benefit of nano packages in Linux distributions.
8012 nano-0.8.6 - 02/24/2000
8015 Added shortcuts for goto_line and do_replace when using
8018 statics: Changed fill back to 0 from 71 by default (Adam Rogoyski).
8019 do_wrap(): Added check for backing up past tabs, which we shouldn't do.
8020 Removed check for backing up past spaces first.
8021 main(): Added for loop to check for alt keys instead of hard list.
8022 do_enter(): Fix for bug #14, added call to reset_cursor and messed
8023 up do_char quite a bit.
8024 version(): Added time and date stamp for compile on version message.
8025 Added mail and web page info.
8026 - README: Updated mailing list info.
8028 nano-0.8.5 - 02/18/2000
8030 main(): Finally fixed tilde being input on page up/down keys in
8031 certain terminal types. Fix was input 26->91->5[34] check
8032 for 126, if so make the kbinput PAGE UP/DOWN, else unget
8033 the keystroke and continue. Added #include <ioctl.h> for
8036 Handler for hangup signal. Belated include of patch from
8040 Temporary fix for selecting text when temp == current.
8041 edit_refresh() is now unmanageably complex, and must be
8044 Added check for constupdate, makes things less choppy
8047 nano-0.8.4 - 02/11/2000
8048 - Moved global variables that were only (or mostly) used in one file into
8049 its proper file as a static. Affects cut.c, nano.c, global.c (Andy Kahn).
8052 Removed redundant NANO_CONTROL_H from backspace shortcut,
8053 added char 127 which should have been there.
8055 main(): Fix for loops looping until MAIN_LEN, added -1 to stop
8056 segfaults (Adam Rogoyski).
8057 - Makefile.am: Added all source filenames (Adam Rogoyski).
8058 - nano.1: Fixed mail addressed and added mailing list address.
8059 - README: Updated my email address and the nano web page.
8061 nano-0.8.3 - 02/08/2000
8062 - New Pico mode (-p, --pico), toggles (more) compatibility with the
8063 Pico messages displayed in the shortcut list. Note that there are still
8064 small differences in this mode.
8065 - nano.h: New shortcut struct format, for the benefit of i18n and
8066 our help menu. Removed shortcut message macros, they are
8067 now all in shortcut_init in global.c.
8069 do_wrap(): Removed resetting of current_x when we are in fact
8070 wrapping to the next line, fixes a bug in -i mode.
8072 Rewrote the autoindent mode code to be a lot less pretty,
8073 but a lot more magical.
8075 Removed case for ignoring char 126 (~). That's kind of
8076 important, we'll have to fix handling that sequence when
8077 paging up/down on a terminal some other way... Revamped
8078 main switch loop in much snazzier fashion based on the
8081 New function display_main_list. Affects all functions
8082 that used to call bottombars() with main_list. Added
8083 because we now only call bottombars with the macro
8084 MAIN_VISIBLE instead of MAIN_LIST_LEN, because of the
8085 changes to the main_list shortcut list (see global.c below).
8086 New function do_help, our preliminary dynamic help system.
8088 Changed from int to void to allow one uniform type to call
8089 from the shortcut struct. Also a few functions that do
8090 not simple have void argument have new functions called
8091 funcname_void(void) to be called from the shortcut list.
8092 do_cut_text and do_uncut_text were changed to void
8093 arguments because they were never called with a filestruct
8094 other than *current anyway.
8096 Shortcut list main_list was expanded to cover all
8097 shortcuts that could be caught in the main loop.
8098 Consequently there is a new macro MAIN_VISIBLE which tells
8099 how many items in the main list to actually show.
8101 nano-0.8.2 - 02/02/2000
8102 - Added initial mouse (-m, --mouse) support. New global variable
8103 use_mouse. (Adam Rogoyski)
8105 - nano.c: Set initial value of fill to COLS - 8 rather than just 72
8106 regardless. (Adam Rogoyski).
8108 Deleted call to do_backspace() when on the end of a line,
8109 because it won't update the line properly.
8111 Removed unnecessary pointer manipulation that was being
8112 handled by unlink_node().
8114 Added check for trying to open a directory (currently we
8115 segfault on this). Bug pointed out by Chad Ziccardi.
8117 nano-0.8.1 - 01/28/2000
8118 - Implemented Pico's -r (fill) mode, command line flag -r or --fill. New
8119 global variable fill, affects check_wrap(), do_wrap(), main(), usage(),
8120 global.c and proto.h.
8122 write_file(): Added (incredibly) necessary check for EPERM when
8123 link() fails. This allows us to actually save
8124 files via rename() on filesystems that dont
8125 support hard links (AIEEEEEE).
8127 Fixed a stupid mistake where we were calling
8128 bottombars() with replace_list instead of goto_list.
8130 New char *help in shortcut structure for help
8131 feature. Added NANO_*_MSG and NANO_*_HELP #defines
8132 for help function and i18n.
8134 New functions shortcut_init (called in nano.c) and
8135 sc_init_one() to initialize the shortcuts without
8136 using {}s (for i18n).
8138 nano-0.8.0 - 01/25/2000
8139 - View flag (-v, --view) implemented. Global variable view_mode, affects
8140 main loop of nano.c and new_file(). (me)
8142 split checks for TERMIOS_H and TERMIO_H up so we
8143 can (theoretically) include them both, which is good.
8145 Added check for ncurses.h. (Andy Kahn)
8147 We now only try ispell because we don't as of yet
8148 handle the 'spell' program the right way, now that
8149 I finally know what the right way is =-). Added
8150 call to edit_update(fileage) to stop segfaults.
8152 Added initialization of edit* filestruct pointers
8153 to stop segfaults on spell check.
8155 Check for getopt_long, and if no leave out the
8156 GNU options everyone seems to love so much (Andy Kahn)
8158 Added checks for getopt_long (Andy Kahn)
8159 We ignore character 126 because it gets put into
8160 the buffer when we page up/down on a vt terminal.
8162 Fixes for umask (Adam Rogoyski). Renamed tmpfile
8163 variable to tmp. Documented the tmp option
8164 better in the function comments. Fixed my
8165 stupidly commented out check for tmp on setting
8166 umask which I really like =>
8168 Made desc variable in shortcut struct a pointer
8169 instead of a fixed-length string.
8171 Fixed check for config.h before nano.h.
8173 New checks for getopt_long, getopt.h, removed
8174 CFLAGS and LDFLAGS changes. Gonna have to run
8175 strip manually now =-) (Andy Kahn)
8176 Added check for HAVE_WRESIZE, new file acconfig.h
8179 nano-0.7.9 - 01/24/2000
8180 - New autoindent feature. Command flag 'i' or '--autoindent'. New
8181 function do_char() to clean up character output, global
8182 variable autoindent in global.c. (Graham Mainwaring)
8183 - New flag 't' or '--tempfile', like Pico's -t mode, automatically saves
8184 files on exit without prompting. Affects do_writeout(). Also
8185 do_writeout() now takes a parameter for if exiting.
8186 Global variable temp_opt in global.c (Graham Mainwaring)
8187 - Preliminary spell program support. Added command flag '-s' or
8188 '--speller' for alternative speller command. Added function do_spell()
8189 and exit_spell() to nano.c. New global variable alt_speller.
8191 main(): We now ignore input of decimal 410 because these get entered
8192 when we resize the screen. Sorted options in getopt()
8194 usage(): Sorted options and changed tabs to make room for -s option.
8195 write_file(): Now takes a second parameter 'tmpfile', uses mask 0600 and
8196 doesn't print the number of lines written on the statusbar.
8198 Added more initializations to globals to support do_spell().
8200 nano-0.7.8 - 01/23/2000
8201 - Stubbed justify function. Affects main() in nano.c and nano.h defines.
8202 - Added Fkey equivalents for Pico compatibility. Affects nano.h defines
8203 and main() in nano.c
8204 - Removed redundant reset_cursor() calls from the blank() routines.
8206 main(): Fixed typo in main while loop for NANO_ALT_REPLACE_KEY.
8207 Removed check for isprint() characters in main while loop
8208 for people with odd character sets *shrug*. Added some X
8209 window F-key combos.
8210 read_line(): New function, consolidates of most of the special
8211 sections of the file reading code. (Rob Siemborski)
8212 do_replace(): Many scattered fixes. (Rob Siemborski)
8213 write_file(): Added check for empty filename.
8215 nanogetstr(): Fixes for deleting at places other than the end of the
8216 buffer, cut support. (Adam Rogoyski)
8217 blank_edit(): New function, blanks edit buffer. Added call to it in
8219 - configure: Checks for glib if snprintf or vsnprintf aren't available
8220 (Andy Kahn). Changed warning message when no termcap lib
8223 nano-0.7.7 - 01/19/2000
8224 - Option '-v' for version moved to '-V', because -v is Pico's "read only"
8225 mode (affects getopt() in main() and usage() function in nano.c
8226 - New flag -c, always show cursor position. Affects main() in nano.c and
8227 statusbar() in winio.c
8228 - Option '-x' doesn't show help window at the bottom of the editor.
8229 New variable no_help in nano.h and proto.h, affects main(), usage(),
8230 and global_init() in nano.c, blank_bottombars(), clear_bottomwin(),
8231 bottombars(), and do_yesno() in winio.c (I had to apply this patch by
8232 hand =P) (Adam Rogoyski)
8234 handle_sigwinch(): New function (Adam Rogoyski), handles resizing.
8235 page_up(), page_down():
8236 - New functions. We now set the cursor at the top right corner,
8237 not at the center line, and page up and down a full screen
8238 rather than a half screen. Original functions renamed to
8239 page_up_center() and page_down_center().
8241 - Added check for keystroke key sequence 407 or NANO_CONTROL_Z
8242 in main while loop because suspend mode was broken. This should
8243 fix it, at least for now.
8244 - Added long option support (By popular harassment ;-) - Added
8245 #include for getopt.h, changed getopt() to getopt_long().
8246 Options added so far: --version (-V), --nowrap (-w), --suspend
8247 (-z), --help (-h), --nohelp (-x).
8248 - Rewrote signal statements (Adam Rogoyski)
8250 nano 0.7.6 - 01/15/2000
8251 - New ChangeLog format
8253 main(): Bound CONTROL_H to backspace (oops)
8254 Added more Alt-[-key combinations, for page up & down.
8255 read_bytes(): New function (Adam Rogoyski)
8256 read_file(): Optimizations - malloc()s *buf a little at a time rather
8257 than one huge buffer, and replaced the strcat at the end
8258 with an index variable. Added call to read_bytes().
8259 do_next_word(): New function, binding is control-space (0) (me)
8262 bottombars(): Fixed non-expanding shortcut keys at bottom of screen.
8263 (formula is extra space needed = COLS / 6 - 13).
8264 actual_x() & strlenpt():
8265 Added bug#9 fix - when tabs % 8 == 0, we should only
8266 increment tabs by 1.
8267 titlebar(): Fixed overrun in titlebar on very long filenames.
8269 0.7.5 Pico 'last line' feature added (Rob Siemborski & me). Eliminated
8270 writing a newline at EOF. do_cursorpos and do_replace are now not
8271 directly bound to signals but picked up as their control sequences
8272 in raw mode. Bug fix in do_backspace. Fixed bug #9 (woohoo!)
8273 0.7.4 Optimized (obfuscated?) edit_refresh. Malloc() calls checked for
8274 available memory, align bug fixed (Big Gaute).
8276 --- As of version 0.7.4 TIP is renamed to nano.
8278 0.7.3 Fixed a double blank_statusbar() when jumping to first and last
8279 lines. Took out unnecessary updates in load_file. Bug fix in
8280 do_left. Missing updates to totlines, fixed bug #7 (last line not
8281 having a newline at the end doesn't get read, bugfix in do_replace
8282 with replace all, more/better comments (Robert Siemborski)
8283 0.7.2 Our first patch accepted into the source! configure fixes
8284 and optimizations (Erik Anderson). Added missing stdarg.h to winio.c.
8285 Bug fix in update_line for editing long lines. Fixed arguments
8286 being put into the filename when none is specified. Preliminary
8287 +line command argument function.
8288 0.7.1 configure tweak for better FreeBSD support. Removed refresh() from
8289 edit_refresh to stop cursor "jumping" during screen updates. This
8290 will probably cause a bug or two. Replace is now Alt-R (@R) and
8291 Goto line is Alt-G (@G), but they have control key aliases of ^\ and
8292 ^_ respectively. Made Control-F,B,N,P work like they do in Pico.
8293 Control-G will become the Help key, but for now is stubbed out.
8294 0.7.0 Fixed missing stdlib.h from cut.c. Fixed a few message bugs in
8295 findnextstr. Bound Control-D to Delete. Refixed segfault on zero
8296 length file. Added Esc-[-A,B,C,D cursor key sequences.
8297 0.6.9 Preliminary cursor position function. Split up tip.c more, made
8298 new files cut.c and winio.c. Fixed a bug in cut_marked_segment
8299 that was leaving out a character.
8300 0.6.8 By request, optchr in main() is now an int. Removed unneeded
8301 globals. Bound functions for next/prev page, and wrote functions
8303 0.6.7 Bugfix in do_uncut_text for totlines. Broke up open_file and
8304 created read_file. Implemented Insert File. Fixes in tipgetstr
8305 for erroneous keystrokes. Added leave_cursor arg to do_yesno().
8306 0.6.6 Fixes in do_search(), do_replace(), do_writeout, and do_exit() for
8307 aborted searches and more Pico-compatible messages. statusq() now
8308 returns -2 on a blank entry instead of -1. Bug fix in actual_x().
8309 0.6.5 More BSD compatibility. Fixed two bugs in do_uncut_text
8310 regarding buffers with filebot in them. Fixins in do_backspace
8311 and do_enter. Removed unused variables. Removed strip_newline.
8312 0.6.4 Took out the awful newlines from each string buffers. This will
8313 certainly cause more bugs. Fixes in do_exit(). Better empty file
8315 0.6.3 Implemented ^E. Removed now unneeded wrapline from filestruct.
8316 do_enter() rewritten.
8317 0.6.2 Better default file permissions. Complete rewrite of do_wrap().
8318 Better handling of editing with cursor near COLS - 1.
8319 0.6.1 Starting to implement wrapping toggle. Fix for unhandled control
8320 codes being entered into the buffer. Bug fix in actual_x; more
8321 > COLS - 1 functionality, especially on lines with TABs. Fixed being
8322 locked into cutbuffer when cutting more than one marked screen of
8324 0.6.0 We have TABs!!! To do this, placewewant is now set to the actual
8325 width on the screen we want to be, not an index of current->data.
8326 New functions xplustabs and actual_x convert the actual place
8327 the cursor should be on the screen to and from the place in the
8329 0.5.5 Changed do_right to test do_down before setting current_x to 0,
8330 eliminating the "looping" on the last line when holding the right
8331 arrow. Preliminary support for longer than COLS - 1 lines.
8333 0.5.4 Fixed a bug in total_update that wasn't repainting the screen
8334 properly. tipgetstr is much more messy but text is now more
8335 editable ;) Fixed crash on entering a new file, hopefully. Awful
8336 stub for tab handling, only in do_right() to save me some sanity.
8337 0.5.3 Added check for malloc.h. Implementing uncut from marker slowly.
8338 Fixed a few bugs in do_uncut when not uncutting from marked text.
8339 I would not trust your data with the mark code right now, but then
8340 we're not at version 1.0 yet so dont trust anything ;)
8341 0.5.2 Added reset_cursor() before end of update_line so cursor doesn't
8342 jump after each keystroke entered. Select text stubbed. Fixed
8343 a bug in total_refresh(). Setting a mark will highlight properly,
8344 but does not actually affect what gets put in the cutbuffer (yet).
8345 0.5.1 Writing a file out causes modified to be set back to 0. Good.
8346 Set_modified function written. Cut and uncut text now set
8347 modified when called.
8348 0.5.0 Half way there! Implemented write out, save function seems
8349 stable. Changed statusbar blank routing to not refresh, a separate
8350 program calls it and then refreshes. Made the program not clear
8351 the screen on exit, just the bottom two lines (like Pico).
8352 0.4.2 Implemented replace all in replace function. Crude exit function
8353 (asks yes or no if modified but does not write to file).
8354 0.4.1 Implementing search & replace. Fixed crash on deleting at top of
8355 edit buffer. Implemented "timeout" of statusbar messages.
8356 Implemented ^A and ^E (beginning and end of line).
8357 0.4.0 Split code into global.c and proto.h to allow for better multiple
8358 file handling. Added #defines for the majority of the shortcut
8359 keys in tip.h for easy modification.
8360 0.3.1 Write edit_refresh which doesn't move the screen around, just
8361 updates what's there already. do_wrap() and do_enter() added.
8362 0.3.0 Preliminary cutbuffer (cut and uncut) support.
8363 0.2.7 Check for Modification added. do_search() works.
8364 0.2.5 Rewrite of file data struct.
8365 0.2 Read in data to buffer, bound keystrokes to stub functions,
8366 initial cursor movement on screen. Initial autoconf support.
8367 0.1 Initial program setup w/ncurses
