+2022.02.09 - GNU nano 6.1 "Rețelele de socializare sunt ca un frigider"
+• The behavior of ^K at a prompt has been enhanced: when there is some
+  text after the cursor, just this text is erased.  In the most common
+  situation, when the cursor is at the end of the answer, the behavior
+  is as before: the whole answer is erased.
+• At a prompt, M-6 copies the current answer into the cutbuffer.
+• Large external pastes into nano are handled more quickly.

 <h3><a name="1.3"></a>1.3. Why the name change from TIP?</h3>
 <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>
 <h3><a name="1.4"></a>1.4. What is the current version of nano?</h3>
-<blockquote><p>The current version of nano <i>should</i> be <b>6.0</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>
