Due to persistent maintenance challenges and the community's limited engagement and usage, `git svn` support in Git for Windows will be [dropped from the next major Git for Windows release](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5405).

Note that `git flow` is no longer shipped with Git for Windows, after a version had been distributed that had been languishing for years. Even the original, years-stale Git Flow project [has been archived](https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/issues/3#issuecomment-3400894835).

### New Features

* Comes with [OpenSSL v3.5.4](https://www.openssl.org/news/openssl-3.5-notes.html).
* Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on [Cygwin v3.6.5](https://inbox.sourceware.org/cygwin-announce/[email protected]/).
* Comes with [OpenSSH v10.2.P1](https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/releases/tag/V_10_2_P1).
* Drops `git flow`.
