[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.36.0-rc1

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.36.0-rc1 is available from:

    https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.36.0-rc1.windows.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.35.1(2) (February 1st 2022)

Upcoming breaking changes

We plan to update the included bash to version 5.1 (currently 4.4) soon
after Git for Windows 2.36.0 is released. Please check your shell
scripts for potential compatibility issues.

Git for Windows will also stop supporting Windows Vista soon after Git
for Windows 2.36.0 is released. Around the beginning of 2023, Git for
Windows will drop support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8, following
Cygwin's and MSYS2's lead (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for
components such as Bash and Perl).

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.36.0-rc1.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    3.3.4.

  * Comes with OpenSSH v8.9p1.
  * Comes with cURL v7.82.0.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1n.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager Core v2.0.696.
