New Features & Benefits

Focus on enterprise-class features to make Subversion a compelling replacement to ClearCase. Merge tracking, partial checkouts, client-side changelists, improvements to svn:externals. CollabNet certified binaries expanded to include certification on RHEL 5, RHEL 64-bit and Solaris x86. The CollabNet packages have also been enhanced to include ViewVC and the Subversion Python API.

Focus on establishing a regular six-month release rhythm. Main features includes initial tree conflict support, follow-up improvements to merge tracking from 1.5, single-file externals, and secure password storage mechanisms for Linux and Unix operating systems.

Future enhancements include improving support for tree conflict detection (one user edits a file and another user has renamed it, etc.). A rewrite of the working copy library is also underway. This would be aimed at greatly improving performance as well as the size of the working copy. A new HTTP protocol that is focused on improving performance and dramatically reducing network roundtrips is also in progress.
