Dear Git users, it is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.6.3 is available from https://git-for-windows.github.io/ 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/. Ciao, Johannes
