+2017.06.25 - GNU nano 2.8.5 "Farouche" avoids a crash when waking from
+		a suspension that was induced from the outside, allows
+		negative line and column numbers on the command line,
+		avoids some flickering when resizing the screen while
+		in the file browser, opens files in the order they were
+		mentioned on the command line, and does not pretend to
+		have woken from suspension when receiving a SIGCONT.
+

 2017.05.18 - GNU nano 2.8.3 "Hirsch" fixes a misplacement of the spotlight

 <h2><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. 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 &quot;establishes a full duplex terminal connection to a remote host&quot;, 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>
 <h2><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h2>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>2.8.4</b>.  Of course, you should always check the <a href="https://nano-editor.org/">nano homepage</a> to see what the latest and greatest version is.</p></blockquote>
