Announcement: TortoiseGit 2.1 released

[Sven Strickroth]

Hi,

we're pround to announce TortoiseGit 2.1. This is mainly a bugfix release.

We thank all bug reporters, testers and translators for their help!

You can check for updates using the settings or the about dialog
(recommended) - or you can download the release here:
https://tortoisegit.org/download/

If you are running Git < 2.7.4 it is recommended to upgrade, too, due to
security issues: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

A note for users of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: This version
does not support these systems any more.

Changes since 2.0:

again (see issue #2715) We're sorry for all the trouble we caused
with this change, we haven't expected that.
