Redirect to Git for Windows 2.x #356

Closed techtonik closed 9 years ago

techtonik commented 9 years ago

If this project is phased out, maybe it is worth to rename it to msysGit 1.9.5 and place a redirection to the new site? http://git-for-windows.github.io/ It could save me a few months of waiting for 2.x.

git 2.x release is still called rc version

techtonik commented 9 years ago

I c.

FallenGameR commented 9 years ago

Why 2.x is RC? Release notes https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt don't mention that. Looks like a stable release.

Check the latest pre-release in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases: v2.4.6.windows.1 Fifth release candidate of Git for Windows

Why 2.x is RC?

Well, lots people ask this question, it's a big one. I don't think I can answer this question. But I see the change, and believe the GfW is getting stable.

ATM, the latest git is 2.5.0, see here. There is a link for GfW in that page, and it links to 1.9.5. See here. Also see the Gfw Main page (also 1.9.5). So, latest release is 1.9.5.

There are some Developer's Preview Releases(for dev test) and Release candidates(for user test).

The first developer's preview release is v2.3.4.windows.2? (2015-03-26) It mentioned: This is the developers' preview to show what Git for Windows 2.x looks like. Please note that it is not intended for use in production.

Latest developer's preview release is 2.4.1.windows.1 (2015-05-14)

The first release candidate is 2.4.2.windows.1 (2015-05-28)

ATM, the latest release candidate is 2.4.6.windows.1 (2015-07-18)

I guess 2.5.0.windows.1 is coming. (Release list is here)

linquize commented 9 years ago

For 2.5.0, @dscho has to solve the compilation problem, before 2.5.0 can be released.

dscho commented 9 years ago

Yep, 2.5.0.windows.1 is coming. Indeed, I still need to address this issue first, but there is also this issue. In general, if you want to know what is missing for a final release, it is a good idea to look at the milestone.

FallenGameR commented 9 years ago

YueLinHo, thanks for explanation! dscho, thanks for making 2.5 possible! You guys rock. I will patiently wait for the new release =)

YueLinHo commented 9 years ago
