- CRLF line endings are read as newlines on every system (the reader used
to delete the pair, collapsing a Notepad++ file into one line on Linux
and macOS); a leading UTF-8 byte-order mark is ignored; a UTF-16 or
Windows-1252 source is refused with the encoding, the place and the
remedy named. .gitattributes pins LF in every clone.
- Windows source install: the repository path must hold no space (GNU
Make), accented letters are fine (every linker input is relative now);
python.org's Python is selected ahead of an MSYS2 one that poppler pulls
in; TeX Live goes to its Windows default C:\texlive\2026.
- The Python binding needs an ASCII installation path on Windows, and its
suite says so there.
