Ladies and Gentlemen,
Another release of Subversion is upon us. As you can see from our
CHANGES file, this release has mainly focused on code reorganization
and huge numbers of bug fixes. The latest version is known to work
correctly against the httpd/apr/apr-util included in the apache-2.0.43
release.
A much-rewritten version of the Subversion Book, a work in progress,
has also been posted to the file-sharing area of Subversion's website.
If you are a developer, you may interested in playing with a new
experimental network layer, ra_svn, which speaks a custom protocol
over plain TCP. You can read about it at the end of the latest
INSTALL file.
Here's the relevant section from our CHANGES file:
