2017.11.27 - GNU nano 2.9.1 "Damyatta" fixes a bug where, when the mark
                 is on, ^S would overwrite the file with just the marked
                 region.  This release further clears the "Modified" flag
                 when all edits are undone, adds or updates some magic
                 strings, and does not forget when the cursor was last
                 at line 1, column 1.


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

Changes between v2.9.0 and v2.9.1:
----------------------------------

Benno Schulenberg (21):
       build: fix compilation with --disable-browser --disable-tabcomp
       bump version numbers and add a news item for the 2.9.1 release
       files: always update the stat info when the entire file is written
       files: save the marked region only when we've prompted for a file name
       gnulib: update to its current upstream state
       history: create the path '~/.local/share/' when it is needed
       history: make nano's state directory accessible for the user only
       history: save the positions file also when a record was deleted
       input: make the macro key discoverable by giving feedback when undefined
       linting: switch the mark off when the linter starts
       po: update translations and regenerate POT file and PO files
       selecting: do not cancel the softmark when the cursor is not moved
       selecting: let a justification cancel a softmark
       syntax: adjust the magic strings for the changes since file-5.10
       tweaks: adjust indentation after previous change
       tweaks: elide the 'mark_set' boolean -- the 'mark' pointer is enough
       tweaks: rename, rewrap, and reshuffle some stuff, and frob some comments
       tweaks: reshuffle a couple of lines, and frob a comment or two
       tweaks: reshuffle a couple of lines, to put similar things together
       undo: clear the Modified state when the very first edit is undone
       undo: discarding the stack does not always lose information
