Changelog:

Major changes

  • Skip Git-for-Windows menu if the Git binary resolved in PATH is Git-for-Windows [#5963 @dra27 - fix #5835]
  • Enhance the Git menu by warning if the user appears to need to restart the shell to pick up PATH changes [#5963 @dra27]
  • Include Git for Windows installations in the list of possibilities where the user instructed Git-for-Windows setup not to update PATH [#5963 @dra27]
  • Redirect the opam root to C:\opamroot\opam-xxx when the opam root contains spaces on Windows [#5457 @rjbou @dra27]
  • Overhaul Windows opam init to determine Unix and Git configuration simultaneously, and to detect from Cygwin, Git and MSYS2 from all the known package managers and shells [#6000 @dra27]

Repository

  • Fix download URLs containing invalid characters on Windows (e.g. the ? character in ?full_index=1) [#5921 @dra27]
