Git for Windows v2.42.0(2)
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.

Git for Windows v2.41.0(3) Changes since Git for Windows v2.41.0(2) (July 7th 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. As of Git for Windows v2.41.0, the 32-bit variant of the POSIX emulation layer (known as "MSYS2 runtime", powering Git Bash among other components shipped with Git for Windows) is in maintenance mode and will only see security bug fixes (if any). Users relying on 32-bit Git for Windows are highly encouraged to switch to the 64-bit version whenever possible. This release is a hot-fix release to incorporate a new Git Credential Manager version that addresses several issues present in the previous verison. There are no other changes. New Features * Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.2.2.
Git for Windows v2.41.0(2)
Changes since Git for Windows v2.41.0 (June 1st 2023)

mode and will only see security bug fixes (if any). Users relying on
32-bit Git for Windows are highly encouraged to switch to the 64-bit
version whenever possible.
New Features
* Comes with MSYS2 runtime v3.4.7.
* Comes with OpenSSL v3.1.1, a major version upgrade (previously Git
for Windows distributed OpenSSL v1.1.*).
* To support interoperability with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
better, it is now possible to let Git set e.g. the executable bits
of files (this needs core.WSLCompat to be set, and the NTFS volume
needs to be mounted in WSL using the appropriate options).
Bug Fixes
* Portable Git: The Windows version is now parsed more robustly in
the post-install script.
* The labels of the File Explorer menu items installed by the Git for
Windows installer have been aligned with what is customary ("Open
Git Bash Here" instead of "Git Bash Here").
Git for Windows v2.41.0

32-bit Git for Windows are highly encouraged to switch to the 64-bit
version whenever possible.
Please also note that the code-signing certificate used to sign Git for
Windows' executables was renewed and may cause Smart Screen to show a
warning until the certificate has gained a certain minimum reputation.
New Features
* Comes with Git v2.41.0.
* Comes with OpenSSH v9.3p1
* Comes with MinTTY v3.6.4.

documentation (i.e. git help git-lfs now works).

* Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.41.
* Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.1.2.
* Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
3.4.6. (This does not extend to 32-bit Git for Windows, which is
stuck with v3.3.* of the MSYS2 runtime forever.)
* To help with Git for Windows' release mechanics, Git for Windows
now ships with two variants of libcurl.
* Comes with cURL v8.1.2.
* Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1u.
Bug Fixes
* Git GUI's Repository>Explore Working Copy was broken since v2.39.1,
which has been fixed.
* The MSYS2 runtime was adjusted to prepare for an upcoming Windows
version.
