[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.45.0-rc0

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.45.0-rc0 is available from:

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.45.0-rc0.windows.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.44.0 (February 23rd 2024)

New Features

* Comes with Git v2.45.0-rc0.
* Comes with PCRE2 v10.43.
* Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.4.5.
* Comes with Git LFS v3.5.1.
* MinGit now supports running git difftool.
* Comes with OpenSSH v9.7.P1.
* Comes with GNU TLS v3.8.4.
* Comes with Tig v2.5.9.
* Comes with cURL v8.7.1.
* Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.5.0.

Bug Fixes

* Since v2.14.0(2), Git for Windows' installer registers the Open Git
Bash here and Open Git GUI here context menu items also in the
special Libraries folders, but the uninstaller never removed them
from those folders, which was fixed.
* A regression where git clone no longer worked in the presence of
includeIf.*.onbranch config settings has been fixed.
* Apparently some anti-malware programs fiddle with the mode of
stdout which can lead to problems because expected output is
missing, which was fixed.
