...and also, the bracket matching key changing to ^] since Meta-] is now
an alias for Meta-} (which is currently driving me crazy even though I
was the one who made the change).  It doesn't sound stupid to me at all. 
Not to mention, the new color commands available in .nanorc files may
also cause some confusion if syntaxes from 1.2 and 1.3 are mixed.

The version bump sounds good.  Thanks for the suggestion.
