This is a bugfix release, including a couple of nice to have changes
on top.


What changed:
-------------

- Support WSL symlinks.  Create those by default now.

Bug Fixes:
----------

- Fix accidental evaluation of NUL (\0) characters in xterm console output.
  Don't move cursor to the right in case of a NUL character in the console
  output stream, this is not backed by terminfo.
