CR is a wrong end-of-line character for Unix (at last for logs)
We have a very Unix- unfriendly end-of-line character in many place of framework. All modern Unix use LF (0A) for new line, but TTextWriter adds CR in case twoEndOfLineCRLF is not included in Options.
My BIG pain is logs files produced by TSynLog - many unix tools expect LF as end-of-line (all unix logs in /var/log for example use LF).
My propose is to change line separator from CR to LF in case EndOfLineCRLF is false (in fact inside TTextWriter.AddEndOfLine). Thank to good implementation of TSynLog it will work without problem in this case.
Also there is a bug in TTextWriter.SetEndOfLineCRLF - in case False is passed there we should call Exclude.

Perfect! Thanks. As far all works as expected.
BTW I replaced my desktop operating system with Ubuntu18 from Win10 - very-very positive experience. Everything work much faster. I'm surprised how much better Lazarus debugger works under Linux

Would love to hear some first-hand details
Delphi XE4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit.
Lazarus trunk built with fpcupdelux on Windows with cross-compile for Linux 64bit.
