Apache Subversion 1.8.3 released

I'm happy to announce the release of Apache Subversion 1.8.3.

Please note that Subversion 1.8.3 is the next release after Subversion 1.8.1.
The 1.8.2 release was not published publicly, due to issues found
during testing.

This release addresses three security issues:
    CVE-2013-4246: fsfs: corruption from editing packed revision properties
    CVE-2013-4262: admin-side tools: symlink attack against pid file
    CVE-2013-4246: svnserve: symlink attack against pid file

More information on these vulnerabilities, including the relevant
advisories and potential attack vectors and workarounds, can be found
on the Subversion security website:

This release changes mod_dav_svn to no longer map requests to the local
filesystem. Administrators of mod_dav_svn servers should read the
section about this in the release notes:
