Subversion 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the milestone dept.

Phil John writes "Subversion 1.0 has finally been released. The people who maintain CVS have given us a viable replacement for our de-facto (and aged) versioning system. If you're new to Subversion its feature list looks like fixes for everything that is wrong in CVS, renaming, directory structure and metadata version tracking, file deletion, proper management of binary files and it's pretty portable to boot." According to the download page, binaries may take a few days to appear.

    What's so good about a version control system that takes days for binaries to appear? That's a pretty big bug to work out. (fp)

      The source for Subversion is in a Subversion archive, so the usual supect who build binaries cannot check it out because they themselves haven't built Subversion yet :)

    I don't think I'm going to try this version. I think I'll wait until they get to Superversion 1.0. Or maybe Superversion Platinum/Pro++ 1.0.

    Wow, there is a first for everything. The one statement I would have bet large sums of money that I would never hear is that ClearCase's filesystem integration is really nice.

    ... try having a sysadmin that prefers debian and see how long you have to wait. Sigh. I do like subversion lots though! :)

    Hardly an unbiased evaluation.

    You're right - ask for your money back.

    Anyone know if there is a way to use subversion for automatic canonization of code style?

    Yeah, host a python repository with it.
