I have uploaded mintty 2.8.1 with the following changes:
Character display
* Option Charwidth for built-in Unicode width or ambiguous wide mode
(#88, #671).
Window and session control
* Virtual Tabs: additional SessionGeomSync levels (#699).
* Window icons can optionally be shown in session switcher (#699).
* Restore window frame when leaving fullscreen mode via escape sequence.
Pathname handling
* Relative pathname opening considers interactive working directory
(~mintty/wsltty#19).
* Pathname opening accepts escaped space or embedding quotes
(~mintty/wsltty#19).
* Relative pathname opening from WSL ignores improper directories
(mintty/wsltty#19).
WSL support
* Made WSL parameter optional: --WSL.
* Option --WSL supports legacy-only installation "Bash on Windows"
(mintty/wsltty#64).
