Git 2.0.3, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, has been officially released.

The new Git 2.0.x branch continues the trend of large releases, integrating a big number of changes and fixes. Unlike the previous version, which was quite a hefty one, this new release is actually pretty small. Users have been advised to upgrade nonetheless.

According to the changelog, an ancient rewrite passed a wrong pointer to a curl library function in a rarely used code path and it was corrected, "filter-branch" no longer left an empty single-parent commit that resulted when all parents of a merge commit got mapped to the same commit, even under "--prune-empty," and "log --show-signature" no longer decides the color to paint a mergetag that was or wasn't correctly validated.

Also, "log --show-signature" is now a lot more careful with the "--graph" option and a lot of fixes have been implemented to the tests. Some updates to the docs have been included as well/

For a complete list of changes, check out the changelog. You can download Git 2.0.3 right now from Softpedia.
