Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :)
I just bumped into this while checking my feed https://linuxiac.com/gnu-nano-5-9/
An excerpt:
In nano 5.9 the extension of a filename is added to the name of a corresponding temporary file, so that spell checking a C file, for example, will check only the comments and strings (when using ‘aspell’).
I use nano most times since it is easy to use, fast and has some really handy features.
 


Nice. Might have to grab the source, Debian sid is stuck at 3.1

Sweet! I use nano with some regularity, so upgrading was fun. I don't normally need to compile stuff, or at least I don't normally both with it.
