New Feature: Windows / Ubuntu Interoperability

Windows binaries can now be invoked directly from the WSL command line. This gives users the ability to interact with their Windows environment and system in a way that has not been possible. As a quick example, it is now possible for users to run the following commands:

```
$ export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Windows/System32
$ notepad.exe
$ ipconfig.exe | grep IPv4 | cut -d: -f2
$ ls -la | findstr.exe foo.txt
$ cmd.exe /c dir
```

• MSDN Interop Documentation
  

Fixed

• Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is now installed for all new WSL instances. Users with existing 14.04 (Trusty) instances will not be automatically upgraded.
• Locale set during install is now displayed
• Terminal improvements including bug where redirecting a WSL process to a file does not always work
• Console lifetime should be tied to bash.exe lifetime
• Console window size should use visible size, not buffer size
• Additional bugfixes and improvements
