+- update to version 2.1.9 see NEWS for details 
+ * Issues with the new sped-up syntax highlighting code were
+   corrected. Other fixes include configure-time detection of groff HTML
+   support before attempting to generate the HTML version of man pages. Using
+   ~ or ~username syntax in .nanorc should now work again. Also, nano will now
+   only ask for one acknowledgment of errors it encounters when parsing nanorc
+   files, and a new -q (--quiet) flag will silence these messages altogether.
