I am pleased to announce that another interim release of Subversion is
now available. You can grab release 0.19 at the following location:
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/3368/subversion-0.20.tar.gz
The MD5 checksum for this release is a7bcec36f73bdb4a519795e45dadf823.
Please note the following new standard for interim release compatibility:
"Before 1.0, we require only that each interim release be compatible
with the one before it. For example, a 0.20 server must work with
both 0.19 and 0.21 clients (and, obviously, a 0.20 client as well),
but may be incompatible with a 0.18 client (though gratuitous
incompatibility should be avoided whenever possible, of course).
Patch levels don't count: 0.20.1, 0.20.2, etc, must be compatible
with 0.19.*."
Also note that because the ra_svn protocol is new it does NOT fall under
the above constraints. Version 0.20 ra_svn clients and servers are NOT
backwards compatible.
This release was tested against Apache httpd 2.0.44, which is available
at this location:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

==========
Version 0.20.0 (released 20 Mar 2003, revision 5410, branches/release-0.20)
User-visible changes:
* new compatibility rule: require only that each interim release be
compatible with the one before it (see HACKING)
* ra_svn is still new so above rule doesn't yet apply
(i.e. 0.20 over ra_svn is NOT compatible with previous releases)
* merge infers the target path (see book chapters 4 & 8)
* merge continues in presence of missing target file
* merge's add notifications are no longer duplicated
* commands can be safely interrupted (Ctrl-C)
* --encoding global default in ~/.subversion/config
* new option --editor-cmd
* begin multi-release transition to escape binary properties over DAV
* misc performance improvements
Developer-visible changes:
* RA vtable functions take pool argument
* svn-config --includes path fixed
* uuid at creation now complete
* start having test failures throw exceptions rather than return errors
* test suite option --cleanup with --verbose being default mode
* continued diff library development
* minor revprop hook changes
* bug fixes: no diff on binary files (#1019), consistent error messages
(#1181), version numbers in hook scripts (#1182), win98 codepage (#1186)
