[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.36.1

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.36.1 is available from:

    https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.36.0 (April 20th 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 v2.36.1.
  * On newer Windows versions, Git now assumes a Win32 Console with
    full color capabilities. This helps e.g. when NeoVIM is configured
    as Git's editor.
  * Comes with OpenSSH v9.0p1.
  * When git clean fails due to long paths, Git now advises the user to
    set core.longPaths.
  * Comes with cURL v7.83.0.
  * Git Credential Manager's binaries are no longer installed in the
    same location as core Git's own dashed programs. This separates
    more clearly the core Git executables from the Git executables
    provided by third-parties.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager Core v2.0.696.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1o.
  * Comes with patch level 4 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows
    flavor) based on Cygwin 3.3.4.

Bug Fixes

  * A regression introduced in Git for Windows v2.36.0 where GPG in
    32-bit versions simply would not work was fixed.
  * The proxy-lookup helper only reported the first letter of the proxy
    , which was fixed.
  * The installer now verifies that .NET Framework 4.7.2 is available
    before offering Git Credential Manager (GCM) as an option (because
    it is required for GCM to work).
  * A bug introduced into v2.36.0 where shell scripts failed to run on
    some network shares with the error "Too many levels of symbolic
    links" was fixed.
