Git for Windows 2.5.2 (Release 2)

The following bugs were fixed since Git for Windows 2.5.2:

  • The Git GUI can be launched from the Start menu again.

  • It now works to call git add -p -- . when there is a large number of
    files.

  • The Arrow keys can be used in the Bash history again when run in the
    Windows console.

  • Tab completion in the context of a large Active Directory is no longer
    slow.

Git for Windows 2.5.2

The changes since Git for Windows 2.5.1 are:

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.5.2

  • Alternates can now point to UNC paths, i.e. network drives.

Bug fixes

  • The MSys2 runtime was taught not to look hard for groups, speeding up
    Git Bash's startup time.

  • A work around was added for issues when installing 32-bit Git for
    Windows on 64-bit Windows 10.

  • The installer no longer freezes when there are interactive commands
    in the user's .profile.

  • git rebase --skip was speeded up again.

  • The redirector in /bin/bash.exe now adjusts the PATH environment
    variable correctly (i.e. so that Git's executables are found) before
    launching the real Bash, even when called without --login.

  • When installing Git for Windows to a location whose path is longer
    than usual, Git commands no longer trigger occasional Bad address
    errors.

  • Git no longer asks for a DVD to be inserted again when one has been
    ejected from the D: drive.

Git 2.5.2

Git for Windows 2.5.1

In addition to synchronizing with Git 2.5.1, this release also contains
the following bug fixes:

* Backspace works with ConHost-based (`cmd.exe`) terminal.

* When there is a `~/.bashrc` but no `~/.bash_profile`, the latter will
  be created automatically.

* When calling a non-login shell, the prompt now works.

* The text in the installer describing the terminal emulator options is
  no longer cut off.

* The `connect.exe` tool to allow SSH connections via HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS
  proxies is included in Git for Windows again, as it was in Git for
  Windows 1.x.

* The `LANG` variable is no longer left unset (which caused troubles
  with vim).

* `call start-ssh-agent` no longer spits out bogus lines.

* It is now possible even behind NTLM-authenticated proxies to install
  Git for Windows' SDK.

* We can handle the situation now when the first `$PATH` elements point
  outside of Git for Windows' `bin/` directories and contain `.dll`
  files that interfere with our own (e.g. PostgreSQL's `libintl-8.dll`).
