Subject: Announcing Git for Windows 2.6.1
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2015 23:02:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <517f6b5dd3edb6935bdba9f8f24f474b@dscho.org> (raw)

Dear Git users,

it is my pleasure to announce version 2.6.1 of Git for Windows, available from https://git-for-windows.github.io/.

Changes since Git for Windows 2.6.0 (September 29th 2015)

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.6.1
  • The installer now writes the file /etc/install-options.txt to
    record which options were chosen at install time.
  • Replaces git flow with the AVH edition which is maintained
    actively, in surprising and disappointing contrast to Vincent
    Driessen's very own project.

Bug Fixes

  • The PATH variable is now really left alone when choosing the "Use
    Git from Git Bash only" option in the installer. Note that
    upgrading Git for Windows will call the previous version's
    uninstaller, which might still have that bug.
  • Git GUI's Registry>Create Desktop Icon now generates correct
    shortcuts.
  • The antiword utility to render Word documents for use in git diff
    now works correctly.
  • In 64-bit installations, we no longer set a pack size limit by
    default.
  • When installing Git for Windows as regular user, the installer no
    longer comptries to create privileged registry keys.

Ciao,
Johannes
