Git for Windows v2.16.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1(4) (February 7th 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.16.2.
  * For every new Git for Windows version, .zip archives containing
    .pdb files for some of Git for Windows' components are now
    published alongside the new version.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    2.10.0; This required rebuilding OpenSSH, Perl (and some Perl
    modules) and Subversion.
  * Comes with Bash v4.4 patchlevel 019 .

Bug Fixes

  * The Perl upgrade in Git for Windows v2.16.1(4) broke interactive
    authentication of git svn, which was fixed.
  * When configuring HTTPS transport to use Secure Channel, we now
    refrain from configuring http.sslCAInfo. This also helps Git LFS
    (which uses Git for Windows' private http.sslCAInfo setting) to use
    the same credentials as git fetch and git push.

Git 2.16.2

Git for Windows v2.16.1(4)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1(3) (February 6th 2018)

Bug Fixes

  * When called from TortoiseGit, git.exe can now spawn processes again
    .

Git for Windows v2.16.1(3)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1(2) (February 2nd 2018)

New Features

  * Git for Windows' SDK packages are now hosted on Azure Blobs, fixing
    part of issue #1479.
  * Comes with perl-Net-SSLeay v1.84.

Bug Fixes

  * When http.sslBackend is not configured (e.g. in portable Git or
    MinGit), fetch/push operations no longer crash.
  * On Windows 7 and older, Git for Windows v2.16.1(2) was no longer
    able to spawn any processes (e.g. during fetch/clone). This
    regression has been fixed.
  * The Perl upgrade in v2.16.1(2) broke git send-email; This has been
    fixed by updating the Net-SSLeay Perl module.

Git for Windows v2.16.1(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1 (January 22nd 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Heimdal v7.5.0.
  * Comes with cURL v7.58.0.
  * Comes with Perl v5.26.1.
  * When using GNU nano as Git's default editor, it is now colorful
    (shows syntax-highlighting).
  * Comes with tig v2.3.3.
  * When using Secure Channel as HTTPS transport behind a proxy, it may
    be necessary to disable revocation checks, which is now possible.
  * Comes with BusyBox v1.28.0pre.16550.0b3cdd76c.

Bug Fixes

  * When Git spawns processes, now only the necessary file handles are
    inherited from the parent process, possibly preventing file locking
    issues.
  * The git update command has been renamed to git
    update-git-for-windows to avoid confusion where users may think
    that git update updates their local repository or worktree.

Git for Windows v2.16.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.0(2) (January 18th 2018)

This is a hotfix release, based on upstream Git's hotfix to address a
possible segmentation fault associated with case-insensitive file
systems.

Note: another hotfix might be coming the day after tomorrow, as cURL
announced a new version addressing security advisories that might
affect how Git talks via HTTP/HTTPS, too.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.16.1.

Bug Fixes

  * A set of regressions introduced by patches intended to speed up
    reset and checkout was fixed (issues #1437, #1438, #1440 and #1442.

Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.1(2) (November 30th 2017)

Git for Windows now has a new homepage: https://gitforwindows.org/ (it
is still graciously hosted by GitHub, but now much quicker to type).

  * The Git for Windows installer now offers to configure Visual Studio
    Code as default editor for Git.

    FSCache feature is in effect.

Bug Fixes

  * When cloning into an existing (empty) directory fails, Git no
    longer removes said directory.
  * Interrupting processes (and their children) using Control+C is now
    a lot more robust.

Git 2.16

"Release Candidate" 2 of v2.16.0

Git 2.16-rc2

"Release Candidate" 1 of v2.16.0

Git 2.16-rc1

MinGit for Windows v2.14.3(2)

This is a MinGit-only release; compared to v2.14.3, there are no patches
in Git's source code, but all dependencies are updated. Most
importantly, Git Credential Manager is at v1.14.0 (including support for
TLS 1.2) and OpenSSL is now at v1.0.2n, fixing two CVEs. Those two CVEs
do not realistically affect Git for Windows, but you know, CVEs.

"Release Candidate" 0 of v2.16.0

Git 2.16-rc0

MinGit v2.13.1(7)

This version simply backports 5dd2fc4641c (Fix .git/ discovery at the
root of UNC shares, 2017-10-13) to allow Git to work correctly in
worktrees located at the root directory of a UNC share.

MinGit for Windows v2.13.1(6)

This is a MinGit-only release; compared to v2.13.1(4) (v2.13.1(5) was
built incorrectly and is hence no longer publicly available), there are
no patches in Git's source code, but all dependencies are updated. Most
importantly, Git Credential Manager is at v1.14.0 (including support for
TLS 1.2) and OpenSSL is now at v1.0.2n, fixing two CVEs. Those two CVEs
do not realistically affect Git for Windows, but you know, CVEs.

MinGit for Windows v2.13.1(4)

This is a MinGit-only release; Apart from a purely built-time patch to
allow building a MinGit-only prerelease with a current Git for Windows
SDK, the changes relative to v2.13.1(3) are purely outside of Git's
source code: It comes with current versions of all dependencies, in
particular cURL v7.57.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2m.

Git for Windows v2.15.1(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.1 (November 29th 2017)

Bug Fixes

  * The bug introduced into Git for Windows v2.15.1 where vim would
    show an ugly warning upon startup was fixed.
