Subversion 1.6

Since March 20, version 1.6.0 is the main stable release of Subversion.
Amongs the new features,
  • svn:externals on a file.
  • CTypes python bindings
  • Filesystem storage improvements to both FSFS and BDB backends
  • Many (many) improvements to the command line client.
  • Repository root relative URL support on most SVN commands
See the official announcement for more information. Please note that Subversion 1.4.x are no longer supported.
In the coming days, I'll try to blog about these new features. I need to upgrade our subversion repositories from 1.4 to 1.6. I'll also try to report here my findings regarding the upgrade.
