• Updated bundled Git to version 2.17.1 (macOS, Windows; needs new installation or manual triggering of a genuine update in the About dialog)
• Bitbucket integration: improved error reporting
• Output dialog: remembers size (and location)
• some hosting providers: added low-level property "json.enableGzip" to enable GZIP compression
• Setup wizard: added option to use gravatar.com (in the preferences, it was moved from the Commands > Log page to the Privacy page)
