Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.12.0 is available from:

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

Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.1 (February 3rd 2017)

New Features

  • Comes with Git v2.12.0.
  • The builtin difftool is no longer opt-in, as it graduated to be
    officially adopted by the Git project.
  • Comes with v2.7.0 of the POSIX emulation layer based on the Cygwin
    runtime.
  • Includes cURL 7.53.1.
  • The Portable Git now defaults to using the included Git Credential
    Manager.

Bug Fixes

  • The stderr output is unbuffered again, i.e. errors are displayed
    immediately (this was reported on the Git mailing list as well as
    issues #1064, #1064, #1068).
  • Git can clone again from paths containing non-ASCII characters.
  • We no longer ship two different versions of curl.exe.
  • Hitting Ctrl+T in Git GUI even after all files have been (un)staged
    no longer throws an exception.
  • A couple of Git GUI bugs regarding the list of recent repositories
    have been fixed.
  • The git-bash.exe helper now waits again for the terminal to be
    closed before returning.
  • Git for Windows no longer attempts to send empty credentials to
    HTTP(S) servers that handle only Basic and/or Digest authentication
    .
