+        Before this commit, `balena build` and `balena deploy` would almost
+        never respect CTRL-C on Windows (PowerShell, cmd.exe). Now CTRL-C
+        is respected over a large extent of runtime and, if CTRL-C is hit
+        while images are being uploaded (`balena deploy`), the release status
+        is correctly set to 'failed'.
