Git 2.33 has been released, including a new optional merge process called merge-ort, which the team hopes will become the default in the next version. Git releases are relatively frequent. Git 2.31 was released in March and Git 2.32 in June. According to the release announcement, version 2.33 "does not have many end-user facing changes and new features" aside from fixes and internal improvements – but there is one major change, described as a "new merge strategy backend."
