Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.11.0 is available from:

	https://git-for-windows.github.io/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.10.2 (November 2nd 2016)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.11.0.
  * Performance of git add in large worktrees was improved.
  * A new, experimental, builtin version of the difftool is available
    as an opt-in feature.
  * Support has been added to generate project files for Visual Studio
    2010 and later.

Bug Fixes

  * The preload-index feature now behaves much better in conjunction
    with sparse checkouts.
  * When encountering a symbolic link, Git now always tries to read it,
    not only when core.symlinks = true.
  * The regression where Git would not interpret non-ASCII characters
    passed from a CMD window correctly has been fixed.
  * Performance of the cache of case-insensitive file names has been
    improved.
  * When building with MS Visual C, release builds are now properly
    optimized.
  * git cvsexportcommit now also works with CVSNT.
  * Git's Perl no longer gets confused by externally-set PERL5LIB.
  * The uninstaller no longer leaves an empty Git\mingw64 folder behind
    .
  * The installer now actually records whether the user chose to enable
    or disable the Git Credential Manager.
  * A certain scenario that could cause a crash in cherry-pick no
    longer causes that.
