It might be a consideration we need to afford Windows users and was overlooked as this is the first release using the GIT source tree. Files kept there have Linux (CR only) line endings. If you use Windows and don't have anything else but default viewing tools, use "wordpad" to properly view files of this type without having to resave. Notepad cannot handle CR only and require the Windows standard CR+LF.
