Git for Windows v2.8.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.7.4 (March 18th 2016)

New Features

  • Comes with Git v2.8.0.
  • Comes with the Git Credential Manager v1.2.2.
  • The FSCache feature (which was labeled experimental for quite some
    time) is now enabled by default.
  • Git is now added to the PATH by default (previously, the default
    was for Git to be available only from Git Bash/CMD).
  • The installer now offers to launch the Git Bash right away.

Bug Fixes

  • The previous workaround for the blurred link to the Git Credential
    Manager was fixed so that the link is neither blurry nor
    overlapping.
  • The installer now changes the label of the Next button to Install
    on the last wizard page before installing.
