[Nano-devel] [ANNOUNCE] nano-3.1 is released

[Benno Schulenberg]

2018.09.18 - GNU nano 3.1 "Je faisais des bonds comme ça!" fixes a
             misbinding of ^H on some terminals and some systems,
             does not leave stray stuff after the prompt upon exit
             when having suspended nano while using --constantshow,
             and does not allow to toggle to Replace in view mode.


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