In this release:

• Add support for multiple users per host by using the https://{username}@{host} repository URL format.
  • Note: the GitHub Authentication class does not support this feature.
• Add support for user configured privilege scopes when requesting new VSTS personal access tokens.
• Add automatic VSTS tenant cache eviction when credentials are invalid.
  • Due to an abnormally large number of problems related to invalid tenant cache entries, entries will now be evicted when their related credentials become invalid.
• Add verification step to VSTS credential deletion.
  • When Git requests that VSTS credentials be deleted from the cache, the VSTS Authentication class will attempt to verify the credentials before deleting them. Only credentials which are verified to be invalid will be deleted.
  • This is designed to avoid unnecessary credential removal caused by flaky networks and other interruptions which might cause Git to report the credentials are invalid.
• Improved support for handling HTTP proxies (thank you @MagooChris for your contributions).
• Improved the general, Bitbucket usage, and VSTS integration documentation.
• Add new config verb for dumping state affecting the GCM.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue which caused the GCM to fail when standard input was invalid (thanks to @ebugusey).
• Fixed an issue where the GCM's internal logging mechanism could fail causing the GCM to fail.
• Fixed an issue where the HTTP_PROXY environment variable was incorrectly being ignored.

To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.15.0.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows 2.15.0) and the Microsoft .Net Framework for you if necessary.

For non-installation or custom installation needs, download the gcmw-v1.15.0.zip archive and expand its contents. Use the included install.cmd or options provided via git-credential-manager install to complete setup.
