+What changed:
+-------------
+
+- Don't create native symlinks with target paths having long path prefixes
+ "\\?\" if the target path is shorter than MAX_PATH characters. This works
+ around a Windows 8.1 bug: The ShellExecuteW fails if the lpFile parameter
+ points to a native NTFS symlink with a target path prefixed with "\\?\".
