I had this once and it turned out that I was (unknowingly) executing Karaf
in a slightly different environment, so double-check all those
possibilities before blaming Karaf 4.1.0. Are you sure the previous
version still displays correctly on the same machine?
What you are seeing is ANSI (aka VT100) command sequences, windows console
used not to handle these correctly (i.e. would give the result that you
are seeing), then with Windows 10 it started to do so, and then again in a
recent update they turned it off again for programs launched from the
console (like client.bat) unless these programs explicitly call
SetConsoleMode to set the ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag. So
there are a lot of variables, not just Karaf. :-)
That's all I can say for now, because happily it's been a couple of years
since I had to do Java (in fact any) development work on Windows.
