Git Credential Manager for Windows 1.9.0
In this release:
- Redesigned Askpass to look more like Visual Studio 2017.
- Added support for adding new SSH hosts via Askpass.
- Added environment variable support for all configuration options.
- Added support for
include.path
directives within Git configuration files. - Added caching for VSTS tenant identities to improve performance when authenticating with visualstudio.com.
- Added support for Git's XDG configuration file.
- Improved the non-interactive logon for VSTS accounts.
- Separated the VSTS specific code from the more general authentication code, and placed into a new
Microsoft.Vsts.Authentication.dll
. - Updated the
Microsoft.IdentityModel
(aka ADAL) packages. - Upgraded InnoSetup minimum version required to take advantages of security issues resolved in the latest version.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where
authority=basic
was ignored when the host could support NTLM. - Fixed an issue where Askpass would get confused when the URL contained a username.
- Fixed issues related to users having a
%HOME%
value different from%UserProfile%
.
