What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The sed-style edit path now reads the raw bytes of a file, detects its encoding and whether it uses Windows CRLF line endings from the first 4096 bytes, and writes back using both. Previously it assumed a single encoding lookup, which could rewrite line endings.
Details
The synchronous byte-read helper was removed from the filesystem layer; callers use the async read instead.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
