[Orca-dev] Subversion server upgraded to 0.20.1 (rev 5459)

[Blair Zajac]

Hello all,

I just upgraded OrcaWare's Subversion server to 0.20.1 using revision
5459 of the trunk.

Between 0.19.0 and this release, here are the improvements.  Note that
the Subversion development team guarantees to have the Subversion
server and client interoperate if they differ by at most one interim
release.  So if I'm running a 0.20.1 server, then don't count on a
0.18.0 server from working.  The Y in 0.XX.Y has no effect on this
rule, so a 0.19.0 client will work with 0.20.0 and 0.20.1.

I'll be upgrading the Subversion server at every point release to make
sure that I'm using the latest and best code.  If you need to compile
and install Subversion, I have a Bourne shell script I use to compile
it that I can edit and send out.  You can also use the build tools for
RPMs and for FreeBSD in

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/packages/

Best,
Blair
