We've cut another release, fast on the heels of the last one. This one is
called 0.13.1, and is a continuation of the wrap-up for an Alpha release on
July 15.
This release sees the completion of support for "modules" plus numerous bug
fixes and improvements. See below for more detail.
*** NOTICE!
If you have an existing svn repository and are upgrading from a Subversion
*earlier* than 0.13.0, it needs to be UPGRADED to work with the latest
code. A HOWTO document is included in the notes directory of our source
tree, and can be read online here:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/repos_upgrade_HOWTO
*** Bootstrapping
As usual, you can obtain the latest tarball from our website. Use
this tarball to build a temporary client that can check out the latest
source tree. Tarballs can be found at:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=74
*** Changes
Here's the relevant new section in our CHANGES file:
User-visible changes:
* "modules" are now implemented
* new 'svn export' command
* 'svn log' now traverses copy history (unless --strict is used) and
can print the paths changed in a revision
* 'svn merge' now (temporarily) only merges into '.'

* changes to the 'svn:executable' prop take effect immediately now
* server is now more tolerant of working copies with old-style
version resource URLs

* Python SWIG binding improvments, including the ability to write an
editor in Python
