v2.3.1

A small bugfix for Windows

• Some older forms of Windows may not properly process ANSI color codes in the terminal. For those cases, we provide a fix.
  Make sure to tell your Windows to support UTF-8, too (how). That's generally a good config on Windows, not just for boxes.
• The debug logs can now be displayed via -x debug on all platforms (details). No need to recompile everything with preprocessor macros anymore.
