Subversion 0.13.1 [pre-alpha] released

[Greg Stein <gs...@lyra.org>]

We've cut another release, fast on the heels of the last one. This one is
called 0.13.1, and is a continuation of the wrap-up for an Alpha release on
July 15.

This release sees the completion of support for "modules" plus numerous bug
fixes and improvements. See below for more detail.


*** NOTICE!

  If you have an existing svn repository and are upgrading from a Subversion
  *earlier* than 0.13.0, it needs to be UPGRADED to work with the latest
  code.  A HOWTO document is included in the notes directory of our source
  tree, and can be read online here:

     http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/repos_upgrade_HOWTO


*** Bootstrapping

As usual, you can obtain the latest tarball from our website.  Use
this tarball to build a temporary client that can check out the latest
source tree.  Tarballs can be found at:

     http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=74


*** Changes
     
Here's the relevant new section in our CHANGES file:
     
 User-visible changes:
 * "modules" are now implemented
 * new 'svn export' command
 * 'svn log' now traverses copy history (unless --strict is used) and
   can print the paths changed in a revision
 * 'svn merge' now (temporarily) only merges into '.'
 * 'svnadmin lscr' now traverses copy history
 * changes to the 'svn:executable' prop take effect immediately now
 * server is now more tolerant of working copies with old-style
   version resource URLs
 * new Handbook started
 * commit-email.pl fixes and improvements -- it now shows prop mods
   and copy history
 * bug fixes to cp, rm, merge, revert, admin dump and load, svnlook

 Developer-visible changes:

   libsvn_FOO-1.so (per http://www106.pair.com/rhp/parallel.html)
 * improvements to the Python test suite
 * delta combiner implemented (unused for now, though)
 * Python SWIG binding improvments, including the ability to write an
   editor in Python
 * new example: tools/examples/svnlook.py
 * before/after editors were removed from some svn_client APIs, in
   favor of an extended and improved notification callback
 * upgrade to neon 0.21.2, fixing deflated communication with apache
 * Berkeley DB -related files moved into libsvn_fs/bdb/, with some
   utility functions (skels) in libsvn_fs/util/
