is released.

2005.06.30 - GNU nano 1.3.8 floats at its own level.  This release
        contains several new features.  Among other things, you
        can now move to a specified column number as well as
        line number within a file, file backups saved in a
        backup directory will have unique names, the search and
        replace history routines should work more consistently,
        you can get a word count by pressing Meta-D at the edit
        window, and there's a new -E/--tabstospaces option to
        convert all typed tabs to spaces (--backupdir's short
        option has been changed to -C).  In terms of bugfixes,
        this release contains fixes for minor problems with
        screen updates, UTF-8 display, and flow control; a fix
        for a segfault when displaying some lines ending with
        tabs; better handling of constant cursor position
        display; improved color parsing in the rcfile; and
        support for the "Regexp" toggle in tiny mode
        (-R/--regexp is gone, and --restricted's short option
        has been changed to -R), among other things.  Enjoy.
