06:21 PM Ruby Bug #12644: Support debug build on Windows with MSVC

Most likely your ucrtbased.dll differs in such way that can't locate that structure, so either need to update implementation to work for it (you'll need to look at disassembly)
or you will need to compile with probably older version o... davispuh (Dāvis Mosāns)

03:25 PM Ruby Feature #12654: On Windows use UTF-8 as filesystem encoding

UTF-8 can be easily encoded to any other encoding but opposite isn't always true.
But yeah I agree with other points.

I strongly disagree. WinAPI, PowerShell and cmd supports Unicode independently of used codepage, you can navigate to paths which can't be represented with active codepage. There's rea... davispuh (Dāvis Mosāns)

08:06 PM Ruby Feature #12656 (Assigned): Expand short paths with File.expand_path

Currently File.expand_path expands short path only if it's last part.

That's not really needed. For example `File.read` works with any console's codepage. But `Dir.entries` and `Dir.pwd` works only for ANSI paths no matter what console's codepage is set t... davispuh (Dāvis Mosāns)

02:22 AM Ruby Feature #12654 (Closed): On Windows use UTF-8 as filesystem encoding

Windows (NTFS) supports Unicode and there can be paths/filenames with other characters than current ANSI/OEM codepage can encode.
See attached patch.

06:33 PM Ruby Feature #12653 (Assigned): Use wide WinAPI for rb_w32_getcwd

Use wide WinAPI for rb_w32_getcwd.
This will be needed so that Dir.pwd can support Unicode current directory on Windows.
I've attached a patch.

04:28 PM Ruby Bug #12652 (Closed): For Dir.home encode passed user

Currently Dir.home(user) expects that passed user will be already in appropriate encoding but if it's not it will fail because comparing with different encodings.
This causes TestDir#test_home to fail.

user = ENV['USER']

12:53 AM Ruby Feature #12650 (Closed): Use UTF-8 encoding for ENV on Windows

Windows environment variables supports Unicode (same wide WinAPI) and so there's no reason to limit ourselves to any codepage.
Currently ENV would use locale's encoding (console's codepage) which obviously won't work correctly for chara... davispuh (Dāvis Mosāns)
