Four years after the last major update to version 2.3.0, the developers of the GNU nano text editor have now announced the release of version 2.4.0. In his email Chris Allegretta nano now has a fully functional undo system which is now enabled by default, vim-compatible file locking, linter support, formatter support, syntax highlighting flexibility and many fixes for bugs reported since version 2.2.
Besides the source code package (in tar.gz), the new version of nano is available from the GNU nano website for various Linux distributions and Windows. The latest unstable release of the 2.3 branch is also available for download.
