    in any locale

- GNU nano 2.9.5:
  * change the way the Scroll-Up and Scroll-Down commands work
    (M-- and M-+): instead of keeping the cursor in the same screen
    position they now keep the cursor in the same text position (if
    possible)
  * add a new color name, "normal", which gives the default
    foreground or background color, which is useful for reverting
    some overzealous painting by earlier syntax regexes

  * fix a slight miswrapping of help texts when --linenumbers was
    used

  * remove deprecated options and deprecated bindable function
    names

- GNU nano 2.9.3:

    space caused the word after it to be pushed to the next line
  * make macros work also when your keyboard still emits escape
    sequences
  * add the options -M and --trimblanks for the command line

    (also when the file was saved somewhere midway)
  * improve the undoing of an automatic linefeed at EOF
  * show the cursor again when compiled with --withslang

    hard-wrapping)

    (M-: to start and stop recording, M-; to play the macro back)
  * make ^Q and ^S do something useful by default
  (^Q starts a backward search, and ^S saves the current file)
  * change ^W to start always a forward search,
  * show the number of open buffers (when more than one) in the title bar
  * no longer ask to press Enter when there are errors in an rc file
  * retire the options '--quiet' and 'set quiet' and 'set backwards'

    (on terminals that support those keystrokes)
