The GNU nano development team today released version 1.0 of
their flagship (and only) product, the GNU nano text editor. GNU
nano brings a friendly and intuitive editing environment to users
of Unix-like operating systems.

“We have worked very hard to provide a solid and easy to use
editor for both the casual and power user. With version 1.0, users
can expect a completely bug free and emotionally fulfilling text
editing experience,” blurts Chris Allegretta, program maintainer.
“GNU nano follows in the software industry’s rich tradition of
‘point-zero’ releases which contain absolutely no bugs
whatsoever.”

GNU nano has won the highly coveted “Best Pico clone whose name
begins with ‘n’ and ends with ‘o'” award two years in a row. More
fictional awards are expected to be awarded soon.
