New Features

- Git for Windows' installer is now built by InnoSetup v6.6.1.
- Comes with cURL v8.18.0.
- Microsoft Edit can now be specified as Git editor.
- Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.7.0, the "anniversary release" after one release-less year, which brings native x64 and ARM64 binaries for the respective flavors of Git for Windows.

Bug Fixes
- The installer of Git for Windows v2.52 showed clipped text in some setups, which was fixed.
- When calling Microsoft Store apps, their standard I/O is now set up correctly (meaning: You can call an interactive Python interpreter without the winpty hack mentioned in the release notes' Known Issues).
- The astextplain tool (which is used by Git for Windows to generate diffs of .pdf and .doc files) used to handle empty files gracefully. This behavior is now reinstated.https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.53.0.windows.1
