In this release:

• The networking code has been refactored. During this process a dozen proxy handling errors were discovered and corrected; so... better HTTP proxy handling 😃
• Updated the UX of the Azure Authentication flow for Visual Studio Team Services to utilize the new "identity picker" when possible (thanks to @onovotny for the contribution).
• Updated branding from Atlassian for the Bitbucket authentication UX.
• Applications which have a GUI can now pass their windows handle to the GCM. This means the users won't have to go looking for the GCM window when they have a multiple screen setup (thanks to @chuckries for the contribution).
• The Microsoft.Alm.Authentication.nupkg is now signed, includes symbols, and source.

Bug Fixes

• Emails as usernames will no longer cause the GCM to corrupt the URL string and prevent authentication.
• Installer will now correctly upgrade existing installations of the GCM.
• Installer will now correctly discover 64-bit version of Git for Windows (thanks to @kgybels for the contribution).
• Installer will now correctly install Git for Windows if an installation isn't detected.
• Fixed a dozen or so HTTP proxy handling issues.

To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.16.0.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows 2.17.0) and the Microsoft .Net Framework for you if necessary.

For non-installation or custom installation needs, download the gcmw-v1.16.0.zip archive and expand its contents. Use the included install.cmd or options provided via git-credential-manager install to complete setup.
