[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.42.0(2)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.42.0(2) is available from:

    https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.42.0 (August 21st 2023)

As announced previously, Git for Windows will drop support for Windows
7 and for Windows 8 in one of the next versions, following Cygwin's and
MSYS2's lead (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for components such as
Bash and Perl).

Following the footsteps of the MSYS2 and Cygwin projects on which Git
for Windows depends, the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is being
phased out.

Bug Fixes

  * Git for Windows v2.42.0's release notes claimed that it ships with
    Git LFS v3.4.0, which is incorrect and has been fixed in this
    release.
  * The installer option to enable support for Pseudo Consoles has been
    handled incorrectly since Git for Windows v2.41.0, which has been
    fixed.
  * Some Git commands (those producing paged output, for example)
    experienced a significant slow-down under certain circumstances,
    when running on a machine joined to a domain controller, which has
    been fixed.
  * As of Git for Windows v2.41.0, when installed into a location whose
    path contains non-ASCII characters, it was no longer possible to
    fetch from/push to remote repositories via https://, which has been
    fixed.
