[Orca-dev] Subversion server upgraded to 0.33.1

[Blair Zajac]

Hello,

I've upgraded the OrcaWare Subversion server to the official 0.33.1
release.

While you may be able to communicate with the new server with an older
Subversion release, the Subversion development team only guarantees that
Subversion client versions 0.32.x, 0.33.x and 0.34.x will work with it.
In fact, this version of the Subversion server will not work with
Subversion clients older than 0.28.0.

Below is what's new in this version compared to the previously installed
0.32.1 server.

Version 0.33.1 (released 17 November 2003, revision r7782)
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.33.1

    NOTICE: This is a bugfix release.  The bug is fixed if *either*
            the client or server uses the new code.

User-visible changes:
* major performance fix for updates


Version 0.33.0 (released 13 November 2003, revision r7737)
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/0.33.0

                              NOTICES:

    1. This client may be incompatible with ra_dav servers <= 0.31.

    2. In order to make commits more responsive, repository
       deltification is no longer automatic.  However, you may want
       to run deltification as a background process in your repository
       post-commit hook.  For example, the new post-commit.tmpl file
       recommends 'nice -2 svnadmin deltify "$REPOS" -r "$REV" &'.

 User-visible changes:
 * now require APR/APU 0.9.5 (ships in Apache 2.0.48)
 * lose automatic deltification, but recommend it in post-commit (r7695, #1573)
 * new configuration and authn/authz support in ra_svn (r7604, r7601)
 * much faster checkouts and updates, over both svn:// and http:// (#1429)
 * new partial-authz feature: checkouts/updates just skip unauthorized items
 * new 'use-commit-times = yes' config option to use commit-time timestamps
 * new 'svnadmin hotcopy' command, like hot-backup.py (#1567)
 * fix Win32 "access denied" error in renames (r7598, #1576)
 * unnecessary working copy tree locks now avoided, to save time (#1245)
 * Compatibility changes:
    - lose ra_dav compatibility with servers 0.31 and earlier
    - lose support for working copy format "1" (not created for over a year)
 * 'svn diff' and other read-only actions now work in read-only working copies
 * 'svn blame -rX' now does the intuitive thing
 * 'svn log' output headers now say "rXXXX | " instead of "rev XXXX:  "
 * 'svnversion' no longer stymied by svn:externals
 * new 'svn pd' alias for 'svn propdel'
 * '-rCOMMITTED' keyword now works on more commands
 * minor changes to output of 'svn ls -v' and 'svn st -v' (r7530)
 * 'svn log --xml' now obeys the '-q' flag (r7555)
 * cvs2svn.py bugfixes, especially issue #1440
 * book and documentation updates
 * many other enhancements, minor features, and bugfixes not listed here

 Developer-visible changes:
 * repair text- and prop-time in .svn/entries if spuriously wrong (r7565)
 * speed up keyword translation (r7502)
 * two new editor functions, absent_file() and absent_directory()
 * ra_dav checkouts/updates no longer do O(n) number of GET, PROPFIND requests
 * new svn_io_temp_dir function, will morph to apr_temp_dir_get soon
 * new svn_io_file_close wrapper for apr_file_close
 * new helper scripts for testing, see tools/test-scripts/svntest/
 * many other changes not listed here

Best,
Blair
