This behavior is now reinstated.\n\nGit-2.53.0-rc0-64-bit.exe | 714b50a253602b2e854ecc283c1755a6498f751fbf80db7ba48861417c5bd229\nGit-2.53.0-rc0-arm64.exe | 1d065239b58f9ed97a52f0d0d8f80ed76b205974d4eb953a21efe8375695c233\nPortableGit-2.53.0-rc0-64-bit.7z.exe | 46047a303ada6cb981d67720a8243cfdc3c664d77044d410158c1608e7301b66\nPortableGit-2.53.0-rc0-arm64.7z.exe | 594e7a5eb5821e7aa2d204893cd9dd2073dda72c6e2aab0746adca93afc6b1b5\nMinGit-2.53.0-rc0-64-bit.zip | 7e74f4c1a210769a9e44440aa2fdfa836875e92e64774f512a8cf250345bafa4\nMinGit-2.53.0-rc0-arm64.zip | ee2508dd6bb3d87112e8288612fcf3eb3e13607fcb03a8db1e22a820265774ed\nMinGit-2.53.0-rc0-32-bit.zip | ddff1fb9cb73d41c90bb7d9c8c463d8104eff305c74e17e43419fa2a3873cb41\nMinGit-2.53.0-rc0-busybox-64-bit.zip | aceb7c886eb63e6f16aa8ba48bc02828138309908ca8a647883d5945471262c2\nMinGit-2.53.0-rc0-busybox-32-bit.zip | 5ea2d68a294b7d52266259bc5558a3824e30a31e972fd3a9a2c40d3f55dff39e\nGit-2.53.0-rc0-64-bit.tar.bz2 | bbdd83073894a08a2089051b496ec7c6845c0a25f9bef3e35bcc63cb3f4709e3\nGit-2.53.0-rc0-arm64.tar.bz2 | fb74602f5c8023e90e334235d85c5dda175903c9e6d74a43ef89fb6938baeee7\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"},{"id":"534074","messageId":"xmqqwm1h75ee.fsf@gitster.g","threadId":"64820","inReplyTo":"1MbzyP-1wEj5N1dfD-00evZm@mail.gmx.net","subject":"Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.53.0-rc0","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"gitster@pobox.com","sentAt":"2026-01-16T18:56:41Z","receivedAt":"2026-01-16T18:56:43Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> writes:\n\n> Dear Git users,\n>\n> I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.53.0-rc0 is available from:\n>\n>     https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.53.0-rc0.windows.1\n>\n> Changes since Git for Windows v2.52.0 (November 17th 2025)\n>\n> New Features\n>\n>   * Comes with Git v2.53.0-rc0.\n>   * Pressing the Tab key in an empty line in Git Bash no longer causes\n>     the session to \"freeze\".\n>   * Git for Windows' installer is now built by InnoSetup v6.6.1.\n>   * Comes with cURL v8.18.0.\n>   * Microsoft Edit can now be specified as Git editor.\n\n;-).\n\n>   * Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.7.0, the \"anniversary release\"\n>     after one release-less year, which brings native x64 and ARM64\n>     binaries for the respective flavors of Git for Windows.\n>   * Upgrades the memory allocator mimalloc that is used by Git for\n>     Windows to v2.2.6.\n>   * Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on\n>     Cygwin v3.6.6.\n\nThanks.\n"}]}
