I disagree with not marking it if a new release is made. The source will 
be different, so it should have a different version number. This bug has 
been there forever, and noone complained until now. Users are not likely 
to use file names outside of their own locale, even though it is 
theoretically possible. Many tools have this same problem, especially 
command-line tools which tend to use the standard C library rather than 
the Windows APIs, let alone the Unicode version of the Windows APIs.

But anyway, someone else will have to make the release, as my graphics 
card died this morning, and I'm currently surviving with a very old 
machine that took over half an hour just to zip up the files (I didn't 
time the build).
