Hi all,

I considered releasing Git for Windows v2.8.2 today, too. However, I decided to delay the release for a couple of days, for a couple of reasons:
- I expect an update of the Git Credential Manager in the next few days.
- OpenSSL is slated to receive critical updates on Tuesday and I plan to incorporate these into Git for Windows' next version, too.
I will also use version 2.8.2 as an excuse to ship with support for the extra HTTP headers configured via `http.extraheader`, which I hoped to get into Git v2.8.2, too, because I'd like the feature to be available on Linux and MacOSX, too.
In short: the tentative release date of Git for Windows v2.8.2 is Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016.
Stay tuned, Johannes
