I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who contribute= s 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 part= icular Matthias A=C3=9Fhauer and @nalla for tireless testing and contri= buting patches. Changes since Git-2.5.2(2) (September 13th 2015) New Features =E2=80=A2 Comes with Git 2.5.3. =E2=80=A2 Includes git flow. =E2=80=A2 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. =E2=80=A2 The Subversion bindings for use with git svn were upgraded = to version 1.9.1. =E2=80=A2 Some interactive console programs, e.g. psql.exe, now work = in mintty thanks to pre-configured aliases. =E2=80=A2 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. =E2=80=A2 Git can now access IPv6-only hosts via HTTP/HTTPS. Bug fixes =E2=80=A2 The .vimrc in the home directory is now allowed to have DOS= line endings. =E2=80=A2 The README.portable file of the portable Git mentions the n= eed to run post-install.bat when the archive was extracted manually. =E2=80=A2 Home directories for user names with non-ASCII characters a= re handled correctly now. =E2=80=A2 The documentation no longer shows plain-text linkgit:... "l= inks" but proper hyperlinks instead. =E2=80=A2 The mtab link is written to /etc/mtab again, as it should. =E2=80=A2 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/").
