It’s not a consistent change, but for example programs like notepad couldn’t handle \n, but do accept it now. Visual Studio expects certain file types to use \r\n, but accepts others like .gitignore using \n.

Same thing for \ and / in path separators: Microsoft never made a consistent push for it, and it depends on the application.
