Git for Windows 2.7.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.7.1(2) (February 12th 2016)

New Features

• Git for Windows' SDK version 1.0.2 has been released.
• The "list references" window of gitk is now wider by default.
• Comes with Git 2.7.2.

Bug Fixes

• The user is now presented with a nice error message when calling node while node.exe is not in the PATH (this bug also affected other interactive console programs such as python and php).
• The arrow keys are respected again in gitk.
• When a too-long path is encountered, git clean -dfx no longer aborts quietly.
• Git GUI learned to stage lines appended to a single-line file.
• When launching C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash -l -i in a cmd window and pressing Ctrl+C, the console is no longer corrupted (previously, the bash.exe redirector would terminate and both cmd & Bash would compete for user input).

New Features

• Git GUI now starts properly even when the working directory contains non-ASCII characters.
• We forgot to enable Address Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention on our Git wrapper, and this is now fixed.

Git for Windows 2.7.0(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.7.0 (January 5th 2016)

New Features

• To stave off exploits, Git for Windows now uses Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
• Git for Windows' support for git pull --rebase=interactive that was dropped when the pull command was rewritten in C, was resurrected.
• The installers are now dual signed with SHA-2 and SHA-1 certificates.
• The uninstaller is signed now, too.

Bug Fixes

• When installing as administrator, we no longer offer the option to install quiicklaunch icons because quicklaunch icons can only be installed per-user.
• If a ~/.bashrc is detected without a ~/.bash_profile, the generated file will now also source ~/.profile if that exists.
• The environment variable HOME can now be used to set the home directory even when running with accounts that are part of a different domain than the current (non-domain-joined) machine (in which case the MSys2 runtime has no way to emulate POSIX-style UIDs).
• Git can now fetch and push via HTTPS even when the http.sslCAInfo config variable was unset.
• Git for Windows is now handling the case gracefully where the current user has no permission to list the parent of the current directory.
• More file locking issues ("Unlink of file ... failed. Should I try again?") were fixed.

Changes since Git for Windows v2.6.3 (November 10th 2015)

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.6.4.

Bug Fixes

• Git for Windows v2.6.3's installer failed to elevate privileges automatically (reported three times, making it a charm), and as a consequence Git for Windows 2.6.3 was frequently installed per-user by mistake
• The bug where SHELL_PATH had spaces and that was reported multiple times has been fixed.
• An additional work-around from upstream Git for SHELL_PATH containing spaces (fixing problems with interactive rebase's exec command has been applied.

Git for Windows 2.6.3

Changes since Git for Windows v2.6.2 (October 19th 2015)

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.6.3.
• Enables the stack smasher to protect against buffer overflows.

Bug Fixes

• Git Bash works now even when choosing Windows' default console and installing into a short path (e.g. C:\Git).
• Notepad can now really be used to edit commit messages.
• Git's garbage collector now handles stale refs/remotes/origin/HEAD gracefully.
• The regression in Git for Windows 2.6.2 that it required administrator privileges to be installed is now fixed.
• When notepad is configured as default editor, we no longer do anything specially unless editing files inside .git/.

Git for Windows 2.6.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.6.1 (October 5th 2015)

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.6.2
• Users who are part of a Windows domain now have sensible default values for user.name and user.email.

Bug Fixes

• We no longer run out of page file space when git fetching large repositories.
• The description of Windows' default console is accurate now (the console became more powerful in Windows 10).
• Git GUI now respects the terminal emulation chosen at install time when running the Git Bash.

Git for Windows 2.6.1

Changes since Git for Windows 2.6.1 (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.
