Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.8.4 is available from:

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

Changes since Git for Windows v2.8.3 (May 20th 2016)

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.8.4.

Bug Fixes

  • Child processes no longer inherit handles to temporary files, which
    previously could prevent index.lock from being deleted.
  • When configuring Git Bash with Windows' default console, it no
    longer loses its icon.

Please click on the "repository" link in the header of that web site. This
will take you to the GitHub repository, which currently has 681 releases
(there is a link just below where it says "A fork of Git containing
Windows-specific patches."). If you click on that "releases" link, you
will see *all* past releases.

Ciao,
Johannes
