The change is that we taught the Win32 version how to detect whether
it was writing to a terminal or not, and choose between "count" and
"dot" on that basis. I guess this means that our logic is not clever
enough to figure out that whatever terminal you are using is, in fact,
a terminal?
The code in question is in win32/terminal.cc; basically, it says, dumb
terminals are those for which one of the following holds:
-- not a tty, according to _isatty()
-- environment variable TERM is unset, or empty, or equal to "dumb",
or equal to "emacs"
Hopefully that gives some clue why your terminal is being misdetected?
