NEWS

+2003.01.17 - GNU nano 1.1.99pre1 "enough already" has been released.
+		This release is, barring bug fixes and documentation
+		updates, what version 1.2.0 has looked like, feature
+		wise. There will very likely be bugs, just due the 
+		volume of changes made in this release.  Search 
+		and replace string history has been added, including an 
+		option to log history to ~/.nano_history (-H, 
+		--historylog). Because of this, the pico incompatible 
+		search/replace string behavior that used to be the 
+		default has been deleted.   The old "pico" flag (-p) 
+		is now compatible with Pico's "preserve" mode for 
+		allowing flow control characters; by default this 
+		version ignores both ^Q and ^S. The 
+		--disable-wrapping-as-root configure option has been 
+		forward ported from version 1.0.x, and a new flag to 
+		enable all extra options (--enable-all) has been added.  
+		The internal spell checker has been improved, meaning 
+		you will now be prompted only once for each unique 
+		capitalization of a given word.  
+			There have also been lots of bug fixes,
+		including the "trying to insert a directory name in 
+		multibuffer mode bug", the ugly spell checker scrolling,
+		the color code, cutting text crashes, justification,
+		deleting the "magic line" via replace, and cursor 
+		positioning on the statusbar.   There have also been
+		the usual helping of translation and documentation
+		updates.  
+			Please send all new feedback on this release
+		direct to the development list (nano-devel@gnu.org).
