[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.34.0-rc0

Johannes Schindelin· Oct 30, 2021, 16:30 UTC · lore

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.34.0-rc0 is available from:

    https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.34.0-rc0.windows.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.33.1 (October 13th 2021)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.34.0-rc0.
  * Config settings referring to paths relative to where Git is
    installed now have to be marked via %(prefix)/ instead of the
    now-deprecated leading slash.
  * Comes with Git LFS v3.0.2.
  * Contains new, experimental support for core.fsyncObjectFiles=batch.

Bug Fixes

  * Configuring a system-wide VS Code as Git's editor was broken, which
    has been fixed.
  * It is now possible to clone files larger than 4GB as long as they
    are transferred via Git LFS.

Also "fixes" the issues some were having when using the default vi editor (against all advice and common sense) and that were more visible when under the experimental Windows Terminal[1]
