As of Git for Windows v2.41.0, the 32-bit variant of the\nPOSIX emulation layer (known as \"MSYS2 runtime\", powering Git Bash\namong other components shipped with Git for Windows) is in maintenance\nmode and will only see security bug fixes (if any). Users relying on\n32-bit Git for Windows are highly encouraged to switch to the 64-bit\nversion whenever possible.\n\nNew Features\n\n  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime v3.4.7.\n  * Comes with OpenSSL v3.1.1, a major version upgrade (previously Git\n    for Windows distributed OpenSSL v1.1.*).\n  * To support interoperability with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)\n    better, it is now possible to let Git set e.g. the executable bits\n    of files (this needs core.WSLCompat to be set, and the NTFS volume\n    needs to be mounted in WSL using the appropriate options).\n\nBug Fixes\n\n  * Portable Git: The Windows version is now parsed more robustly in\n    the post-install script.\n  * The labels of the File Explorer menu items installed by the Git for\n    Windows installer have been aligned with what is customary (\"Open\n    Git Bash Here\" instead of \"Git Bash Here\").\n\nGit-2.41.0.2-64-bit.exe | 23599b8a8e2c4e87a94a524b5ce9147b8e3fe1780384e2d8642517d022993190\nGit-2.41.0.2-32-bit.exe | b9eaf785633fa7e68adffd1b454ce70f963adbe6aa530b8ce4ef0ffa8ed49873\nPortableGit-2.41.0.2-64-bit.7z.exe | 8960ed027f94be7487e0e56c28e0fdaaf7a2dd887c35f84a89179a320a81e830\nPortableGit-2.41.0.2-32-bit.7z.exe | b8411ac95f84cf5cff23f44789a9ee313fc7136a224d06cb7abf94561bb3f68c\nMinGit-2.41.0.2-64-bit.zip | 06d71967e8f47f82fc2ebf9911d2cf8102221e4e22becb825e2dbec85cc1047e\nMinGit-2.41.0.2-32-bit.zip | 890d7810725a2698729446143072a3191915638e0925259a2060a96383d06ee2\nMinGit-2.41.0.2-busybox-64-bit.zip | 8ab102ceba7a62cef25c55564a1b519039885e3de9c57ec9b2ec8d99918ad297\nMinGit-2.41.0.2-busybox-32-bit.zip | 508a6478dcbaa2bd90347d75d87c9a621fd7baf200762a2a82e77bf5872c7991\nGit-2.41.0.2-64-bit.tar.bz2 | e4aaddc71f01321f8f4644944760d41158a0214585d56a0ad8395a006a3e5146\nGit-2.41.0.2-32-bit.tar.bz2 | 794329f00c93a41918211933b6231cbcd4798484566de3a120427e403092c7dd\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
