Git for Windows v2.15.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.0 (October 30th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.15.1.
  * Operations in massively-sparse worktrees are now much faster if
    core.fscache = true.
  * It is now possible to configure nano or Notepad++ as Git's default
    editor instead of vim.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2m.
  * Git for Windows' updater now uses non-intrusive toast notifications
    on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
  * Running git fetch in a repository with lots of refs is now
    considerably faster.
  * Comes with cURL v7.57.0.

Bug Fixes

  * The experimental --show-ignored-directory option of git status
    which was removed in Git for Windows v2.15.0 without warning has
    been reintroduced as a deprecated option.
  * The git update command (to auto-update Git for Windows) will now
    work also work behind proxies.

Git 2.15.1

Git for Windows v2.15.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.3 (October 23rd 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.15.0.

Bug Fixes

  * The auto-updater tried to run at a precise time, and did not run
    when the computer was switched off at that time. Now it runs as
    soon after the scheduled time as possible.
  * The auto-updater no longer suggests to downgrade from Release
    Candidates.
  * When the auto-updater asked the user whether they want to upgrade
    to a certain version, and the user declined, the auto-updater will
    not bother the user about said version again.
  * The installer, when run with /SKIPIFINUSE=1, now detects whether
    any executable in Git for Windows' installation is run
  * Git for Windows no longer includes (non-working) xmlcatalog.exe and
    xmllint.exe.

Git 2.15

"Release Candidate 2.5" of v2.15.0

Relative to -rc2, this has mainly a couple of installer fixes, i.e.
fixes outside Git's source code.

Git for Windows v2.14.3

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.2(3) (October 12th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.14.3.
  * Git for Windows now ships with a diff helper for OpenOffice
    documents.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.3.4.
  * Comes with cURL v7.56.1.

Bug Fixes

  * Git for Windows now handles worktrees at the top-level of a UNC
    share correctly.

Git 2.14.3

"Release Candidate" 2 of v2.15.0

Git 2.15-rc2

Git for Windows v2.14.2(3)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.2(2) (October 5th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git LFS v2.3.3.

Bug Fixes

  * Re-enabled some SSHv1 ciphers since some sites (e.g. Visual Studio
    Team Services) rely on them for the time being.

Git 2.15-rc1

Git for Windows v2.14.2(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.2 (September 26th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with BusyBox v1.28.0pre.16467.b4c390e17.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.3.2.
  * Comes with cURL v7.56.0.
  * Comes with OpenSSH v7.6p1.
  * Comes with patch level 4 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows
    flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0.

Bug Fixes

  * A bug which caused the console window to be closed when executing
    certain Bash scripts was fixed.
  * A crash when calling kill <pid> for a non-existing process was
    fixed.

Git 2.15-rc0

Git for Windows v2.14.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.1 (August 10th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.14.2.
  * Comes with cURL v7.55.1.
  * The XP-compatibility layer emulating pthreads (which is no longer
    needed) was dropped in favor of modern Windows threading APIs; This
    should make threaded operations slightly faster and more robust.
  * On Windows, UNC paths can now be accessed via file://host/share/
    repo.git-style paths.
  * Comes with a new custom Git command git update to help keeping Git
    up-to-date on your machine.
  * The Git installer now offers an option to keep Git up-to-date by
    calling git update regularly.
  * Comes with BusyBox v1.28.0pre.16353.2739df917.
  * As is common elsewhere, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right now move word-wise
    in Git Bash, too.
  * Comes with patch level 2 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows
    flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.3.0.
  * The vs/master branch can now be built in Visual Studio 2017, too
  * As requested by the same user who implemented the change, Git for
    Windows now comes with tig, a text-mode interface for Git.

Bug Fixes

  * It is now possible to override http.sslBackend on the command-line.
  * The installer now detects correctly whether symbolic links can be
    created by regular users.
  * Git Bash now renders non-ASCII directories nicely.
  * A regression that caused the fetch operation with lots of refs to
    be a lot slower than before was fixed.
  * The git-gui.exe and gitk.exe wrappers intended to be used in Git
    CMD now handle command-line parameters correctly.
  * The core.longPaths setting is now heeded when packing refs, and
    other previously forgotten Git commands.
  * Pressing Ctrl+Z in Git Bash no longer kills Win32 processes (e.g.
    git.exe) anymore, because POSIX job control is only available with
    MSYS2 processes.
  * Git for Windows now sets core.fsyncObjectFiles = true by default
    which makes it a lot more fault-tolerant, say, when power is lost.
  * A bug has been fixed where Git for Windows could run into an
    infinite loop trying to rename a file.
  * Before installing Git for Windows, we already verified that no Git
    Bash instance is active (which would prevent files from being
    overwritten). We now also verify that no git.exe processes are
    active, either.
