Changes since Git-1.6.2.1-preview20090322 New Features - Comes with official git 1.6.2.2. - Upgraded Tcl/Tk to 8.5.5. - TortoiseMerge is supported by mergetool now (Thanks Markus Heidelberg). - Uses pthreads (faster garbage collection on multi-core machines). - The test suite passes! Bugfixes - Renaming was made more robust (due to Explorer or some virus scanners, files could not be renamed at the first try, so we have to try multiple times). - Johannes Sixt made lots of changes to the test-suite to identify properly which tests should pass, and which ones cannot pass due to limitations of the platform. - Support PAGERs with spaces in their filename. - Quite a few changes were undone which we needed in the olden days of msysGit. - Fall back to / when HOME cannot be set to the real home directory due to locale issues (works around Issue 108 for the moment). Ciao, Dscho "who really needs some sleep" ``` ## Marius Storm-Olsen, 2009-04-08 05:20 Subject: Re: Git for Windows 1.6.2.2 Message-ID: <49DC340E.9010101@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/49DC340E.9010101%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Johannes Schindelin said the following on 08.04.2009 04:46: > Hi, > > this email tries to inform you that the Windows installer was updated to > the newest version of Git. > > Changes since Git-1.6.2.1-preview20090322 > > New Features > > - Comes with official git 1.6.2.2. > - Upgraded Tcl/Tk to 8.5.5. > - TortoiseMerge is supported by mergetool now (Thanks Markus Heidelberg). > - Uses pthreads (faster garbage collection on multi-core machines). > - The test suite passes! > > Bugfixes > > - Renaming was made more robust (due to Explorer or some virus scanners, > files could not be renamed at the first try, so we have to try multiple > times). > - Johannes Sixt made lots of changes to the test-suite to identify > properly which tests should pass, and which ones cannot pass due to > limitations of the platform. > - Support PAGERs with spaces in their filename. > - Quite a few changes were undone which we needed in the olden days of > msysGit. > - Fall back to / when HOME cannot be set to the real home directory due to > locale issues (works around Issue 108 for the moment).
