+2004.01.09 - GNU nano 1.3.1 is outside the gates. This release
+ features, among other things, fixes for the input
+ routines to deal with some problems they had, a
+ reorganized shortcut list for the help browser, minor
+ Pico compatibility improvements for the file browser,
+ fixes for misbehavior when replacing certain regular
+ expressions, and the ability to highlight those regular
+ expressions properly. It also allows searching without
+ prompting to work in view mode, adds support for glib
+ 2.x for those systems that need it, updates the .spec
+ file for the 1.3 branch, prompts you first when you try
+ to save a file under a different name, and adds a new
+ verbatim input mode that acts as ^V does under vi, but
+ with additional Pico compatibility (explained in the
+ FAQ). Basically, a bunch of fixes and a few new
+ features for your editor of choice. Enjoy.

<h2><a name="1.5"></a>1.5. Why the name change from TIP?</h2>
<blockquote><p>On January 10, 2000, TIP was officially renamed to nano because of a namespace conflict with another program called 'tip'. The original 'tip' program "establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host", and was included with many older Unix systems (and newer ones like Solaris). The conflict was not noticed at first because there is no 'tip' utility included with most GNU/Linux distributions (where nano was developed).</p></blockquote>
