This is\nnecessary because GitHub deprecated password-based authentication and\nintends to remove support for it soon, and GCM Core is prepared for\nthis change.\n\nAlso, the option to override the branch name used by git init for the\ninitial branch is now featured prominently in the installer.\n\nNew Features\n\n  * Comes with Git v2.29.0-rc0.\n  * Comes with cURL v7.72.0.\n  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin\n    3.1.7.\n  * Comes with Git LFS v2.12.0.\n  * Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.23.\n  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1h.\n  * Comes with libcbor v0.8.0.\n  * Comes with libfido2 v1.5.0.\n  * Comes with OpenSSH v8.4p1.\n  * Comes with Git Credential Manager Core v2.0.252.766.\n  * Existing Git Credential Manager for Windows users are now\n    automatically upgraded to Git Credential Manager Core.\n  * Git for Windows' installer learned to let users override the\n    default branch used by git init.\n  * The installer size was reduced by dropping a couple unneeded .dll\n    files.\n\nBug Fixes\n\n  * The credential helper selector (used as default credential helper\n    in the Portable Git) now persists the users choice correctly again.\n  * The full command-lines of MSYS2 processes (such as cp.exe) spawned\n    from Git's Bash can now be seen in sysmon, wmic etc by default.\n  * A bug preventing Unicode characters from being used in the window\n    title of Git Bash was fixed.\n  * OpenSSH was patched to no longer warn about an \"invalid format\"\n    when private and public keys are stored separately.\n  * Non-ASCII output of paged Git commands is now rendered correctly in\n    Windows Terminal.\n  * It is now possible to use wordpad.exe as Git's editor of choice.\n  * When using Git via the \"Run As...\" function, it now uses the\n    correct home directory.\n\nGit-2.29.0-rc0-64-bit.exe | 97de20d56d3dedb48cb04a2bda94a75430bc2f3c358b163d77e1f979ebd33a41\nGit-2.29.0-rc0-32-bit.exe | 043650a6634f6fd1b947efb2cabc64635868da154110b2d79a43e485beca9f3b\nPortableGit-2.29.0-rc0-64-bit.7z.exe | 8f58fbc208d8ca3d38d607bd8a4d19a9cce50cf92ec218fcb9ded1cfd2c0a11c\nPortableGit-2.29.0-rc0-32-bit.7z.exe | eace70204033b2245ee3715b005c091c9cc15646ec59caaac897f2de9286c507\nMinGit-2.29.0-rc0-64-bit.zip | b1b0cdb51c291ad027ee244ac85d7855d1f206d80f8f916d8b36296c388a787e\nMinGit-2.29.0-rc0-32-bit.zip | 5e422854824655063481e4d50b9a5d0b15811ca05fa0c034e0f9f22a03e6a915\nMinGit-2.29.0-rc0-busybox-64-bit.zip | 1b3102b4fdf511f3008d3b0240faf8ef69a9670c2c2aac961a069753466acb77\nMinGit-2.29.0-rc0-busybox-32-bit.zip | a8dbd4bc2b9959ba9fe0d35427084d2ff3fb32bf2f919cebfa25f4ef0efcc46c\nGit-2.29.0-rc0-64-bit.tar.bz2 | 9f094b1caa7265253a221c1dcfe3f6ba386da6bd667216e33146db0ca7564bfe\nGit-2.29.0-rc0-32-bit.tar.bz2 | 1c8f50b176a82fe1d6018fda7b2c15a4ae7a8cd0036fdada88595c39a9bc7bba\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"},{"id":"407102","messageId":"nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2010072301350.50@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet","threadId":"54353","inReplyTo":"20201006092535.6419-1-johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","subject":"Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.29.0-rc0","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2020-10-07T21:05:56Z","receivedAt":"2020-10-07T21:06:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Tue, 6 Oct 2020, Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n\n> I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.29.0-rc0 is available from:\n>\n>     https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.29.0-rc0.windows.1\n>\n> Changes since Git for Windows v2.28.0 (July 28th 2020)\n>\n> This version upgrades existing users of Git Credential Manager for\n> Windows (which was just deprecated) to Git Credential Manager Core\n> (\"GCM Core\", which is the designated successor of the former).
