Rejoice, for another Alpha 'interim' release of Subversion is upon us,
another step on the path to Beta.
Please note that the latest Subversion (0.14.3) requires at least
0.9.2 of apr and apr-util, and the server module (mod_dav_svn) must
build against any version of httpd NEWER than 2.0.40. Please do not
try building against the httpd 2.0.40 release tarball; at the time of
this writing, httpd-2.0.42 was in final testing stages, so it should
be released any day now. (If you're impatient, then checkout the HEAD
of httpd-2.0 from CVS, which works fine.)
Also note that our logo contest has ended. Congratulations to Tyrus
Christiana (tyrus.christiana@databuilt.com). His logo now graces the
front of our website. (All the entries and votes are still visible at
http://svn.collab.net/repos/logos) If you're into Subversion team
spirit, you can buy a subversion t-shirt, mousepad, coffee mug, and
other things from our page at:
http://www.cafepress.com/subversion
Note that this page isn't for any fundraising -- just for promoting
project spirit. All of the items are being sold at cost.
Finally, we should mention that our main repository, svn.collab.net,
has been upgraded to use SSL. So you should be able to do all
checkouts over https://.
