2020.10.07 - GNU nano 5.3  "Revolution!"

=E2=80=A2 Option 'set stateflags' makes nano show the state of auto-inden=
ting,
  the mark, hard-wrapping, macro recording, and soft-wrapping in the
  title bar.  The flags take the place of "Modified", and a modified
  buffer is instead indicated by an asterisk (*) after its name.
=E2=80=A2 Nano no longer by default tries using libmagic to determine the=
 type
  of a file (when neither filename nor first line gave a clue), because
  in most cases it is a waste of time.  It requires using the option
  --magic or -! or 'set magic' to make nano try libmagic.
=E2=80=A2 The color of the indicator can be changed with 'set scrollercol=
or'.


GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal.
