Git for Windows v2.12.0
Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.1 (February 3rd 2017)
New Features
• Comes with Git v2.12.0.
• The builtin difftool is no longer opt-in, as it graduated to be
officially adopted by the Git project.
• Comes with v2.7.0 of the POSIX emulation layer based on the Cygwin
runtime.
• Includes cURL 7.53.1.
• The Portable Git now defaults to using the included Git Credential
Manager.
Bug Fixes
• The stderr output is unbuffered again, i.e. errors are displayed
immediately (this was reported on the Git mailing list as well as
issues #1064, #1064, #1068).
• Git can clone again from paths containing non-ASCII characters.
• We no longer ship two different versions of curl.exe.
• Hitting Ctrl+T in Git GUI even after all files have been (un)staged
no longer throws an exception.
• A couple of Git GUI bugs regarding the list of recent repositories
have been fixed.
• The git-bash.exe helper now waits again for the terminal to be
closed before returning.
• Git for Windows no longer attempts to send empty credentials to
HTTP(S) servers that handle only Basic and/or Digest authentication
.
