Fwd: Git for Windows 2.5.1 is out

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git for Windows 1.x users,

please note that I will stop forwarding those announcements a couple of
releases from now and then lock the msysGit mailing list soon after
that.

This might be an excellent opportunity to subscribe to

Ciao,

Dear Git (for Windows) users,

it is my pleasure to announce the release of Git for Windows 2.5.1.
Apart from synchronizing with Git 2.5.1, the following bugs were fixed:

• Backspace works now with ConHost-based (cmd.exe) terminal.
• When there is a ~/.bashrc but no ~/.bash_profile, the latter will be
created automatically.
• When calling a non-login shell, the prompt now works.
• The text in the installer describing the terminal emulator options
is no
longer cut off.
• The connect.exe tool to allow SSH connections via HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS
proxies
is included in Git for Windows again, as it was in Git for Windows
1.x.
• The LANG variable is no longer left unset (which caused troubles
with vim).
• `call start-ssh-agent` no longer spits out bogus lines.
• It is now possible even behind NTLM-authenticated proxies to install
Git
for Windows' SDK.
• We can handle the situation now when the first $PATH elements point
outside
of Git for Windows' bin/ directories and contain .dll files that
interfere
with our own (e.g. PostgreSQL's libintl-8.dll).
• The patch tool is now included again as it was in Git for Windows
1.x.

Ciao,
Johannes
