Hello,

many thanks for all your working. Git is a very good help tool. A smal bug is on your download website for windows. Here we can read: "Latest stable release 1.9.0 Release Notes (2014-02-14) Download for Windows", but the link loads Git-1.8.5.2.preview20131230.exe

-- 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Torsten Thurow

Windows and Mac OS X binary builds are done by a different group and uploaded as they get the time, and as such, the version number is that of the source, not the binaries.

Also, the git-scm.com website is maintained by other people, not the Git project itself. The fact that that website has confusing information for binary builds is tracked in that site's issue #268: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/268.

I looked into this and they seem to be deliberately holding off onto a release due to some max path issues on Windows: https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/122

Also there are some unofficial builds for 1.8.5.4 I think, you just have to Google for it.
