git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager v2.7.0

GCM 2.7.0

on GitHub

Note

Thanks to all our contributors who've been waiting for this release. It's been a year since the last release, which as many will note is highly unusual. Ownership issues of the project have meant that there was a freeze on releases and maintenance. This has now been resolved and we expect regular releases (approximately every 12 weeks; aligned with Git's release schedule), and engagement on our part with the community. Thank you for your patience.

Note

The code ownership/responsibility model of the Git Credential Manager project has changed. Microsoft will now maintain the core GCM platform (responsible for releases, and major architectural changes). The major Git host providers will be responsible for their plugins (e.g., GitHub for GitHub functionality, Azure DevOps for Azure Repos etc).

Note

This is planned to be the last release major release that supports Windows 7 and 8.x. We will be moving off of .NET Framework to .NET (Core) on Windows this year.
