Git for Windows 2.16.0(2)

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).

New Features

• Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.14.0.
• The Git for Windows installer now offers to configure Visual Studio Code as default editor for Git.
• Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2n.
• git checkout is now a lot faster when checking out a lot of files.
• The core.excludesfile can now reference a symbolic link.
• Comes with patch level 7 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0.
• With lots of files, git reset --hard is now a lot faster when the 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.

v2.16.0-rc2.windows.1

"Release Candidate" 2 of v2.16.0

v2.16.0-rc1.windows.1

"Release Candidate" 1 of v2.16.0

v2.14.3.windows.2

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.

v2.16.0-rc0.windows.1

"Release Candidate" 0 of v2.16.0

v2.13.1.windows.7

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.

v2.13.1.windows.6

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.

v2.13.1.windows.4

This is a prerelease.

Git for Windows 2.15.1(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.
