RE: [inbox] Re: Subversion 0.24.1 released.

It's in the release-notes, loud and clear...

svnserve is incompatible with previous releases and clients and server have
to be upgraded at the same time, to the same level.

Please keep in
mind that extensive improvements were made to the ra_svn protocol which
require svnserve users to upgrade both their servers and clients. We are
also happy to announce that svnserve now works on the Windows platform.

For ra_dav the rule is that there may be 1 release difference between client
and server (iow, 0.23.x and 0.24.x clients and servers can be used together
in any combination, same for 0.22.x and 0.23.x clients / servers, but 0.22.x
clients/servers can't be used together with 0.24.x clients/servers). This
rule is not in the release-notes, but in other documentation (presumably in
HACKING?).

Have a look at http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/HACKING
Search for Compatibility. That should explain the situation. Maybe
this should be in the FAQ?
