Dear Git users,
It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.11.0 is available from:
	https://git-for-windows.github.io/
Changes since Git for Windows v2.10.2 (November 2nd 2016)
New Features
  * Comes with Git v2.11.0.
  * Performance of git add in large worktrees was improved.
  * A new, experimental, builtin version of the difftool is available
    as an opt-in feature.
  * Support has been added to generate project files for Visual Studio
    2010 and later.
Bug Fixes
  * The preload-index feature now behaves much better in conjunction
    with sparse checkouts.
  * When encountering a symbolic link, Git now always tries to read it,
    not only when core.symlinks = true.
  * The regression where Git would not interpret non-ASCII characters
    passed from a CMD window correctly has been fixed.
  * Performance of the cache of case-insensitive file names has been
    improved.
  * When building with MS Visual C, release builds are now properly
    optimized.
  * git cvsexportcommit now also works with CVSNT.
  * Git's Perl no longer gets confused by externally-set PERL5LIB.
  * The uninstaller no longer leaves an empty Git\mingw64 folder behind
    .
  * The installer now actually records whether the user chose to enable
    or disable the Git Credential Manager.
  * A certain scenario that could cause a crash in cherry-pick no
    longer causes that.

That's not really a new feature of Git-for-Windows, is it ?
Just wondering...

Yes it is. We had a script to generate project files for Visual Studio < 2008, but they were broken.

This script has been partially fixed, and support has been added to generate the .vcxproj used by Visual Studio 2010 and later.

Further, compile errors have been addressed.

After that, I worked on being able to run the tests in a regular Git Bash (i.e. *without* installing Git for Windows' SDK, just a regular Git for Windows will do).

Took a lot of effort and time, too, Johannes
