is released.

2005.10.23 - GNU nano 1.3.9 breaks through the wall.  This release
        includes major enhancements as well as bugfixes.  The
        enhancements include better handling of invalid UTF-8,
        expansion of the word count option to also count lines
        and characters in the file or selection, more efficient
        screen update routines, a readded -K/--rebindkeypad
        option to work around numeric keypad problems on
        terminals that don't show the usual NumLock glitch, a
        new -W/--wordbounds option to properly detect words
        containing punctuation when moving among them, and
        massive improvements to the color code such as handling
        of unspecified foreground colors, more efficient memory
        usage for color regexes, and new reserved syntaxes
        "default" and "none".  The bugfixes include fixes for
        the rewritten history code, fixes for potential line
        numbering problems on 64-bit platforms, fixes for a few
        long-standing minor display problems, a fix for erroneous
        hangups occurring while waiting for input, and a fix for
        a segfault when displaying certain overly long lines.
        Have fun with it.
