Announcing Git for Windows 2.6.4

Johannes Schindelin· Dec 15, 2015, 10:16 UTC · lore

Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.6.4 is available from:

	https://git-for-windows.github.io/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.6.3 (November 10th 2015)

New Features

  ??? Comes with Git v2.6.4.
  ??? Also available as .tar.bz2 packages (you need an MSys2/
    Cygwin-compatible unpacker to recreate the symbolic links
    correctly).

Bug Fixes

  ??? Git for Windows v2.6.3's installer failed to elevate privileges
    automatically (reported three times, making it a charm), and as a
    consequence Git for Windows 2.6.3 was frequently installed per-user
    by mistake
  ??? The bug where SHELL_PATH had spaces and that was reported multiple
    times has been fixed.
  ??? An additional work-around from upstream Git for SHELL_PATH
    containing spaces (fixing problems with interactive rebase's exec
    command has been applied.

Hi Lars,

I actually meant to mention that I worked really hard on a script to automate all the steps of the Git for Windows releases:

	https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/please.sh

This includes the generation of the announcement mail, of course. So your wish was addressed by:

Please feel free to mention your future wishes in the form of Pull Requests ;-)

Ciao, Dscho
