2022.04.28 - GNU nano 6.3  "Wat zullen we drinken? Wat een dorst!"

=E2=80=A2 For multiline regexes, text is now colored as soon a start matc=
h
  is found, also when there is no end match at all.
=E2=80=A2 The colorizing of any line is stopped after two thousand bytes,=

  to avoid frustrating delays.
=E2=80=A2 When environment variable NO_COLOR is set, the two default colo=
rs
  (yellow for the spotlight, red for error messages) are suppressed
  when no interface colors are specified in a nanorc file.
=E2=80=A2 Full justification and piping the whole buffer through a comman=
d
  now keep the cursor at the same line number.
=E2=80=A2 Utility 'xsel' can be used to copy a marked region to the syste=
m's
  clipboard.  See doc/sample.nanorc for an example.


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