Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.15.0 is available from:

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

Changes since Git for Windows v2.14.3 (October 23rd 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.15.0.

Bug Fixes

  * The auto-updater tried to run at a precise time, and did not run
    when the computer was switched off at that time. Now it runs as
    soon after the scheduled time as possible.
  * The auto-updater no longer suggests to downgrade from Release
    Candidates.
  * When the auto-updater asked the user whether they want to upgrade
    to a certain version, and the user declined, the auto-updater will
    not bother the user about said version again.
  * The installer, when run with /SKIPIFINUSE=1, now detects whether 
    any executable in Git for Windows' installation is run
  * Git for Windows no longer includes (non-working) xmlcatalog.exe and
    xmllint.exe.

By the way, to everybody who tested the RC2: thank you so much. You caught
three bugs. Three bugs that did not enter Git for Windows v2.15.0.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in how I prepared those pre-releases, and
therefore you will be asked whether you want to "downgrade" to v2.15.0. I
hope to get to that bug well in time before the next round of release
candidates is due (or that a contributor beats me to it).

Ciao,
Johannes
