Yet, the most reported bug (and to me it looks like\nit is the best-reported Git for Windows so far, since the project's\ninception) was the typo `fast-forard` in the installer. It has been\nindependently reported well over a dozen times, via at least four\ndifferent channels.\n\nJust a quick note: I will be offline for most of the next three weeks, but\nmy colleague Dr Derrick Stolee kindly agreed to prepare the -rc1, -rc2 and\nfinal versions. For technical reasons, the announcement mails will still\nbe going out under my name, though.\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n"},{"id":"401699","messageId":"nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2007171130050.54@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet","threadId":"53838","inReplyTo":"1B17D6F1-953F-476A-87A8-FA0FE5B5C2D0@gmail.com","subject":"Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.28.0-rc0","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2020-07-17T09:31:43Z","receivedAt":"2020-07-17T10:58:12Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"Hi Kaartic,\n\nOn Fri, 17 Jul 2020, Kaartic Sivaraam wrote:\n\n> On 10 ஜூலை, 2020 7:29:35 PM IST, Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n>\n> >Changes since Git for Windows v2.27.0 (June 1st 2020)\n> >\n> >New Features\n> >\n> > * Comes with Git v2.28.0-rc0.\n> > * Comes with subversion v1.14.0.\n> > * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin\n> > 3.1.5.\n> > * Comes with the designated successor of Git Credential Manager for\n> > Windows (GCM for Windows), the cross-platform Git Credential\n> > Manager Core.
