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.

    Clearcase is a horrible botch.

    Please don't compare it to a modern CM system.

    More extensible? Bah!

    Look at Arch. You can access your repository via WebDAV (and thus apache -- this time without any extra modules), or sftp, or ftp, or raw filesystem access, and adding more is as simple as adding a new backend to the pfs layer. I'm not sure how depending on WebDAV + a svn module for your server is supposed to be _more_ extensible.
