This is a new build for Windows, based on the July 2017 ag 2.0.0 sources.
- Supports Windows XP and newer versions of Windows. (Windows Server 2003 minimum for the 64-bits version.)
- Supports path names up to 64KB. (Using WIN32 APIs not limited to 260 bytes, even in XP.)
- Supports Unicode path names.
- Supports symbolic links and junctions.
- Supports text files encoded both in UTF-8 and in the current Windows System Code Page.
(The latter depends on the Windows localization. Ex: CP 1252 for US and West-European versions of Windows.) - Supports Unicode search strings and regular expressions.
(Some limitations for regexps searches in files encoded in Windows system CP, especially for MBCS CPs.) - Outputs non-ASCII characters correctly in any console code page.
(Provided that the console font has bitmaps for them. See the table below.)
(But if the output is piped to a file or another program, it'll be converted to the current console code page,
and unsupported characters will be lost. This is a limitation of the Windows console, not of ag.exe.)
The zip file contains 32 and 64-bits ag.exe versions.
