2018.05.15 - GNU nano 2.9.7 "Hvide Sande" adds the option '--afterends'
for making Ctrl+Right (the nextword function) stop at word
ends instead of beginnings, accepts multibyte letters for
the Yes/No/All answers, does emergency saves of changed
buffers in the unlikely event that nano crashes, adds the
until-now missing bindable function 'linenumbers', and
renames the toggles 'constupdate' to 'constantshow' and
'cuttoend' to 'cutfromcursor', for consistency with the
corresponding options -- adjust your nanorc files soon.
GNU nano is a simple and easy-to-use editor for on the terminal.

The tarball and its signature are here:
https://nano-editor.org/dist/latest/nano-2.9.7.tar.xz

Specific bugs fixed in this release were all minor:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53777 (wrong message when spell is missing)
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53779 (better hint when reading from stdin)
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53891 (spurious message in flat terminal)
