 ## Bugfixes
 
+- Fix Windows hyperlink generation for paths with spaces. (#1872)
+
 - `--print0` combined with `--exec` will now print a `\0` between the output of each entry. Note that if there are multiple instances
   of `--exec`, the `\0` will be between each _set_ of commands, _not_ between each individual command run. Fixes #1797.
