Git 2.12.2

Git for Windows v2.12.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.12.0 (February 25th 2017)

A MinGit-only v2.12.0(2) was released in the meantime.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.12.1.
  * In addition to the GitForWindows NuGet package, we now also publish
    MinGit as a NuGet package.
  * Git for Windows now bundles Git LFS.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.9.0.
  * Git can now be configured to use Secure Channel to use the Windows
    Credential Store when fetching/pushing via HTTPS.
  * Updates Git-Flow to v1.10.2 (addressing #1092).
  * Git for Windows' fork of the MSYS2 runtime was rebased to a preview
    of the Cygwin runtime version 2.8.0 (due soon) to fix fork: child
    <n> - forked process <pid> died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code
    0xC0000142, errno 11 problems.

Bug Fixes

  * MinGit no longer gets distracted by incompatible libeay32.dll
    versions in C:\Windows\system32.
  * Long paths between 248 and 260 characters were not handled
    correctly since Git for Windows v2.11.1, which is now fixed.
  * The awk.exe shipped with MinGit now ships with a previously missing
    a dependency (this fixes git mergetool).
  * Git for Windows does not ship with localized messages to save on
    bandwidth, and the gettext initialization can be skipped when the
    directory with said messages is missing, saving us up to 150ms on
    every git.exe startup.
  * A possible crash when running git log --pickaxe-regex -S<regex> was
    fixed.
  * The ORIGINAL_PATH variable, recently introduced by the MSYS2
    project to allow for special "PATH modes", is now handled in the
    same manner as the PATH variable when jumping the Windows<->MSYS2
    boundary, fixing issues when ORIGINAL_PATH is converted to Windows
    format and back again.

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.

    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
    .

    checkout.
  • Git hooks can now be .exe files.

  • Git GUI will no longer set GIT_DIR when calling Git Bash after
    visualizing the commit history.

    out with a "Bad address" error message.

Git 2.11.1

Prerelease of HEAD

Git for Windows v2.11.0(3)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.0(2) (January 13th 2017)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an off-by-two bug in the POSIX emulation layer that possibly
    affected third-party Perl scripts that load native libraries
    dynamically.
  • A regression in rebase -i, introduced into v2.11.0(2), which caused
    commit attribution to be mishandled after resolving conflicts, was
    fixed.

Git for Windows v2.11.0(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.0 (December 1st 2016)

New Features

  * Reading a large index has been speeded up using pthreads.
  * The checkout operation was speeded up for the common cases.
  * The status operation was made faster in large worktrees with many
    changes.
  * The diff operation saw performance improvements when working on a
    huge number of renamed files.
  * PuTTY's plink.exe can now be used in GIT_SSH_COMMAND without
    jumping through hoops, too.
  * The MSYS2 runtime was synchronized with Cygwin 2.6.1.

Bug Fixes

  * Non-ASCII characters are now shown properly again in Git Bash.
  * Implicit NTLM authentication works again when accessing a remote
    repository via HTTP/HTTPS without having to specify empty user name
    and password.
  * Our poll() emulation now uses 64-bit tick counts to avoid the (very
    rare) wraparound issue where it could miscalculate time differences
    every 49 days.
  * The --no-lock-index option of git status is now also respected also
    in submodules.
  * The regression of v2.11.0 where Git could no longer push to shared
    folders via UNC paths is fixed.
  * A bug in the MSYS2 runtime where it performed POSIX->Windows
    argument conversion incorrectly was fixed.
  * The MSYS2 runtime was prepared to access the FAST_CWD internal data
    structure in upcoming Windows versions.
  * Fixed a bug in the experimental builtin difftool where it would not
    handle copied/renamed files properly.

This is a MinGit-only preview to help testing experimental features

In particular, the GIT_REDIRECT_STD* feature that allows redirecting the
standard handles to, say, named pipes, is a feature that should benefit
from wider testing before entering Git for Windows proper (but still as an
experimental feature).

Prerelease of HEAD

Pre-release to test fixes for #981 and #987

Git for Windows v2.11.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.10.2 (November 2nd 2016)

  * A new, experimental, builtin version of the difftool is available
    as an opt-in feature.

    2010 and later.

Bug Fixes

  * The preload-index feature now behaves much better in conjunction
    with sparse checkouts.
  * When encountering a symbolic link, Git now always tries to read it,
    not only when core.symlinks = true.
  * The regression where Git would not interpret non-ASCII characters
    passed from a CMD window correctly has been fixed.
  * Performance of the cache of case-insensitive file names has been
    improved.
  * When building with MS Visual C, release builds are now properly
    optimized.
  * git cvsexportcommit now also works with CVSNT.
  * Git's Perl no longer gets confused by externally-set PERL5LIB.
  * The uninstaller no longer leaves an empty Git\mingw64 folder behind
    .
  * The installer now actually records whether the user chose to enable
    or disable the Git Credential Manager.
  * A certain scenario that could cause a crash in cherry-pick no
    longer causes that.
