Note that\n    upgrading Git for Windows will call the previous version's\n    uninstaller, which might still have that bug.\n  • Git GUI's Registry>Create Desktop Icon now generates correct\n    shortcuts.\n  • The antiword utility to render Word documents for use in git diff\n    now works correctly.\n  • In 64-bit installations, we no longer set a pack size limit by\n    default.\n  • When installing Git for Windows as regular user, the installer no\n    longer comptries to create privileged registry keys.\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
