Hi,

this mail informs you that Git for Windows 1.6.3.2 is out. =A0Soon is the time that we switch to git.git's master.

Git Release Notes (Git-1.6.3.2-preview20090607)
Last update: 07 June 2009

Introduction
These release notes describe issues specific to the Windows release.

General release notes covering the history of the core git commands are
included in the subdirectory doc/git/html of the installation directory. Look for files starting with RelNotes.

Known issues
- Some commands are not yet supported on Windows and excluded from the
=A0installation; namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git
=A0cvsimport, git cvsserver, git instaweb, git send-email, git shell.
- The Logitec QuickCam software can cause spurious crashes. See "Why d= oes
=A0make often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile=
=A0my source code?" on the MinGW Wiki
=A0(http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Environment_issues)
- The Quick Launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup =A0(typically the Administrator). This is a technical restriction and will=
=A0not change.
- Git Bash launched through the Explorer shell extension does not have the<= br> =A0git icon in its taskbar. This is a technical restriction and will not =A0change.
- git send-mail does not work properly (Issue 27).
- curl uses $HOME/_netrc instead of $HOME/.netrc.
- If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have =A0to start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle=
=A0the path.
- git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80, =A0159).
- If configured to use plink, you will have to connect with putty first. - MinGW does not support IPv6 yet (Issue 182).
- When run from cmd.exe instead of Git Bash, some characters seem to be
=A0"swallowed" from Git's output (Issue 192).
- There are a spurious write errors during rebase (Issue 200) that seem
=A0not to be reproducible on most computers.
- As merge tools are executed using the MSys bash, options starting with =A0"/" need to be handled specially: MSys would interpret that a= s a POSIX
=A0path, so you need to double the slash (Issue 226). =A0Example: instead = of
=A0"/base", say "//base".
- Also, extra care has to be paid to pass Windows programs Windows paths, =A0as they have no clue about MSys style POSIX paths -- You can use
=A0something like $(cmd //c echo "$POSIXPATH").

Changes since Git-1.6.3-preview20090507

New Features
- Comes with official git 1.6.3.2.
- Uses TortoisePlink instead of Plink if available.

Bugfixes
- Plink errors out rather than hanging when the user needs to accept a
=A0host key first (Issue 96).
- The user home directory is inferred from $HOMEDRIVE\$HOMEPATH instead of<= br> =A0$HOME (Issue 108).
- The environment setting $CYGWIN=3Dtty is ignored (Issues 138, 248 and
=A0251).
- The "ls" command shows non-ASCII filenames correctly now (Issue= 188).
- Adds more syntax files for vi (Issue 250).
- $HOME/.bashrc is included last from /etc/profile, allowing .bashrc to
=A0override all settings in /etc/profile (Issue 255).
- Completion is case-insensitive again (Issue 256).
- The "start" command can handle arguments with spaces now (Issue= 258).
- For some Git commands (such as "git commit"), vi no longer &quo= t;restores"
=A0the cursor position.
