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/").
