[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.41.0(2)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.41.0(2) is available from:

    https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.41.0 (June 1st 2023)

As announced previously, Git for Windows will drop support for Windows
7 and for Windows 8 in one of the next versions, following Cygwin's and
MSYS2's lead (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for components such as
Bash and Perl).

Following the footsteps of the MSYS2 and Cygwin projects on which Git
for Windows depends, the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is being
phased out. As of Git for Windows v2.41.0, the 32-bit variant of the
POSIX emulation layer (known as "MSYS2 runtime", powering Git Bash
among other components shipped with Git for Windows) is in maintenance
mode and will only see security bug fixes (if any). Users relying on
32-bit Git for Windows are highly encouraged to switch to the 64-bit
version whenever possible.

New Features

  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime v3.4.7.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v3.1.1, a major version upgrade (previously Git
    for Windows distributed OpenSSL v1.1.*).
  * To support interoperability with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
    better, it is now possible to let Git set e.g. the executable bits
    of files (this needs core.WSLCompat to be set, and the NTFS volume
    needs to be mounted in WSL using the appropriate options).

Bug Fixes

  * Portable Git: The Windows version is now parsed more robustly in
    the post-install script.
  * The labels of the File Explorer menu items installed by the Git for
    Windows installer have been aligned with what is customary ("Open
    Git Bash Here" instead of "Git Bash Here").
