: There is no Nano-X 0.6 yet. 0.5pre3 is the latest development release.
: Greg apparently has a large set of changes which for some reason he is
: calling Nano-X-0.6, but he hasn't sent anything to me for inclusion for
: several weeks.

I am sorry about all the name confusion that's taking place with nano.
Over a month ago, Alex said that he wanted more stable versions of nano. So I stopped
sending in my changes. I have kept my own log of changes since then. I will release all
this when Alex's code is stable. Following is my changelog, which are just my changes
