[Nano-devel] [ANNOUNCE] nano-2.7.4 is released

[Benno Schulenberg]

2017.01.10 - GNU nano 2.7.4 "Red dress" undoes deletions in an orderly
                manner again (bug was introduced in previous version),
                sets the preferred x position for vertical movements
                more consistently, avoids some scrolling problems in
                softwrap mode, installs the Info manual also when your
                system lacks 'makeinfo', and corrects the behavior of
                the beginning-of-word anchor (\<) in regex searches.
