Dear Git users,
I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.49.0-rc0 is available from:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.49.0-rc0.windows.1
Changes since Git for Windows v2.48.1 (February 13th 2025)
Due to persistent maintenance challenges and the community's limited
engagement and usage, git svn support in Git for Windows will be phased
out over the next few months.
Git for Windows v2.48.1 was the last version to ship with the i686
("32-bit") variant of the installer, portable Git and archive. Only
32-bit MinGit will be built for future versions, until April 2029.
New Features
* Comes with Git v2.49.0-rc0.
* Comes with OpenSSH v9.9.P2.
* Comes with PCRE2 v10.45.
* The previously-experimental --full-name-hash option has been
accepted into upstream Git as --name-hash-version=2 and is no
longer experimental.
* The git backfill command has been accepted into upstream Git; Its
--batch-size=<n> option has been renamed to --min-batch-size=<n>,
though.
Bug Fixes
* A change in upstream Git v2.48.0 broke renaming symlinks, which was
fixed.
