There was no such change at all. The default codepage is still the
default ANSI codepage on your system. The internal conversion from
Windows functions to the POSIX multibyte environment and vice versa
uses UTF-8, though, so that all existing filenames have a valid
representation even when using characters not available in your
current codepage.
