## Changes since Git for Windows v2.39.1 (January 17th 2023)

As announced previously, Git for Windows will drop support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8 in one of the next versions, following [Cygwin's and MSYS2's lead](https://www.msys2.org/docs/windows_support/) (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for components such as Bash and Perl).

### New Features

* In the olden Git days, there were "dashed" Git commands (e.g. `git-commit` instead of `git commit`). These haven't been supported for interactive use in a really, really long time. But they still worked in Git aliases and hooks ("scripts"). Since Git v1.5.4 (released on February 2nd, 2008), it was discouraged/deprecated to use dashed Git commands even in scripts. As of this version, Git for Windows [no longer supports these dashed commands](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/4252).
