14 DAY TRIAL // Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system that was built to handle small and very large projects with speed and efficiency. A new development version for the 2.5 branch has been released and it comes with an impressive number of changes.
The development for Git is powering on, and a new major update is on its way for Git. Even if the application was initially developed by Linus Torvalds, it's now in the hands of other devs. They are doing an amazing job with Git and their contribution has been recognized by Linus numerous times.
"A release candidate Git v2.5.0-rc3 is now available for testing at the usual places. It is comprised of 579 non-merge commits since v2.4.0, contributed by 70 people, 21 of which are new faces," reads the official announcement.
According to the changelog, the bash completion script (in contrib/) has received some new options, the list of commands shown by "git help" is grouped along the workflow elements, and a replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not rely on symbolic links has been implemented.
For a complete list of changes, check out the changelog. You can download Git 2.5 RC3 right now from Softpedia, although this is the source package and you'll have to compile it.
