    Time Event
    1:53p
    Git 2.33.0 released
    Version 2.33.0 of the Git source-code management system has been released.

    As can be seen here, it turns out that this release does not have many end-user facing changes and new features, but a lot of fixes and internal improvements went into the codebase during this cycle. Also, preparation for a new merge strategy backend (can be used with "git merge -sort" today) is on its final stretch and we are hoping that it can become the default in the next release.
    3:25p
