Subject: Announcing Git for Windows 2.5.3
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 21:46:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3143d9c98b472ca9eb6dfc2e36f1d3a9@dscho.org> (raw)
Dear Git users,
it is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.5.3 can be downloaded from https://git-for-windows.github.io/.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who contributes to this project (and you will see below that there have been quite a few changes since release 2 of version 2.5.3 this past Sunday), in particular Matthias Aßhauer and @nalla for tireless testing and contributing patches.
Changes since Git-2.5.2(2) (September 13th 2015)
New Features
• Comes with Git 2.5.3.
• Includes git flow.
• By configuring `git config core.editor notepad`, users can now use
notepad.exe as their default editor. Configuring `git config
format.commitMessageColumns 72` will be picked up by the notepad
wrapper and line-wrap the commit message after the user edited it.
• The Subversion bindings for use with git svn were upgraded to
version 1.9.1.
• Some interactive console programs, e.g. psql.exe, now work in
mintty thanks to pre-configured aliases.
• The mechanism to diff .pdf, .doc and .docx files known from Git for
Windows 1.x has been ported to Git for Windows 2.x.
• Git can now access IPv6-only hosts via HTTP/HTTPS.
Bug fixes
• The .vimrc in the home directory is now allowed to have DOS line
endings.
• The README.portable file of the portable Git mentions the need to
run post-install.bat when the archive was extracted manually.
• Home directories for user names with non-ASCII characters are
handled correctly now.
• The documentation no longer shows plain-text linkgit:... "links"
but proper hyperlinks instead.
• The mtab link is written to /etc/mtab again, as it should.
• When run inside the PowerShell, Git no longer gets confused when
the current directory's path and what is recorded in the file
system differs in case (e.g. "GIT/" vs "Git/").
Ciao,
Johannes
