Git for Windows 2.5.1
Apart from being based on Git 2.5.1, this Git for Windows release brings the following bug fixes:
- Backspace works now 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'slibintl-8.dll
). - The
patch
tool is now included again as it was in Git for Windows 1.x.
