Announcement: TortoiseGit 2.0 released

[Sven Strickroth]

Hi,

we're pround to announce TortoiseGit 2.0.

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

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

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

Changes since 1.8.16.0:
== Changes ==
* Custom dictionaries are no longer loaded when located in
%PROGRAMFILES%\TortoiseGit or %PROGRAMFILES%\TortoiseGit\bin-directory

TGitCacheCheckContentMaxSize instead (settings will be automatically migrated)

* TortoiseGit now applies the same whitespace and new line sanitizing rules as git
core for commit messages by default
