Dear Git users,
It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.16.1(2) is available from:
https://git-for-windows.github.io/
The main purpose of this out-of-band release is to update the BusyBox, cURL,
Perl and Heimdal components to newer versions.
Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1 (January 22nd 2018)
New Features
* Comes with Heimdal v7.5.0.
* Comes with cURL v7.58.0.
* Comes with Perl v5.26.1.
* When using GNU nano as Git's default editor, it is now colorful
(shows syntax-highlighting).
* Comes with tig v2.3.3.
* When using Secure Channel as HTTPS transport behind a proxy, it may
be necessary to disable revocation checks, which is now possible.
* Comes with BusyBox v1.28.0pre.16550.0b3cdd76c.
Bug Fixes
* When Git spawns processes, now only the necessary file handles are
inherited from the parent process, possibly preventing file locking
issues.
* The git update command has been renamed to git
update-git-for-windows to avoid confusion where users may think
that git update updates their local repository or worktree.
