Dear Git users,
I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.28.0-rc0 is available from:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.28.0-rc0.windows.1
Changes since Git for Windows v2.27.0 (June 1st 2020)
New Features
* Comes with Git v2.28.0-rc0.
* Comes with subversion v1.14.0.
* Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
3.1.5.
* Comes with the designated successor of Git Credential Manager for
Windows (GCM for Windows), the cross-platform Git Credential
Manager Core. For now, this is opt-in, with the idea of eventually
retiring GCM for Windows.
* Comes with cURL v7.71.1.
* Comes with Perl v5.32.0.
* Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
3.1.6.
* Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.21.
Bug Fixes
* A typo was fixed in the installer.
* The new git pull behavior option now records the fast-forward
choice correctly.
* In v2.27.0, git svn was broken completely, which has been fixed.
* Some Git operations could end up with bogus modified symbolic links
(where git status would report changes but git diff would not),
which is now fixed.
* When reinstalling (or upgrading) Git for Windows, the "Pseudo
Console Support" choice is now remembered correctly.
* Under certain circumstances, the Git Bash window (MinTTY) would
crash frequently, which has been addressed.
* When pseudo console support is enabled, the VIM editor sometimes
had troubles accepting certain keystrokes, which was fixed.
* Due to a bug, it was not possible to disable Pseudo Console support
by reinstalling with the checkbox turned off, which has been fixed.
* A bug with enabled Pseudo Console support, where git add -i would
not quit the file selection mode upon an empty input, has been
fixed.
* The cleanup mode called "scissors" in git commit now handles CR/LF
line endings correctly.
* When cloning into an existing directory, under certain
circumstances, the core.worktree option was set unnecessarily. This
has been fixed.
