What
~ now expands only when it stands alone or is followed by the platform's own separator, and shortened paths that use backslashes are cut at a folder boundary instead of mid-name.
Details
Previously expansion keyed on ~/, which is not how a Windows path is written.
The shortening helper falls back to the last backslash when there is no forward slash in the path.
Evidence
lastIndexOf("\\")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
