This version upgrades existing users of [Git Credential Manager for Windows](https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/) (which was just deprecated) to [Git Credential Manager Core](https://github.com/microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-Core) ("GCM Core", which is the designated successor of the former). This is necessary because [GitHub deprecated password-based authentication](https://github.blog/changelog/2019-08-08-password-based-http-basic-authentication-deprecation-and-removal/) and intends to remove support for it soon, and GCM Core is prepared for this change.
