Estimated release date of version 9
We are currently faced with the decision whether to release a new
"major" version of SmartSVN which is compatible with Subversion 8 or
wait for Subversion 9 release. The two main factors driving this
decision are:
(i) whether Subversion 1.9 will be able to access Subversion 1.8 working
copies, without making it unusable for version 1.8. As far as I
understood from [1] this will be most likely the case.
(ii) when the anticipated release date of version 9 will be (measured in
months).
I'd appreciate your ideas on (ii). Of course I understand that this is a
moving target and current estimations may be wrong.

Sorry for the version number confusions, it should always read "version
1.8" instead of "version 8" and "version 1.9" instead of "version 9".

As already discussed, unless a really important reason to change the
working copy format pops up in the next few weeks, the formats will be
identical.

4-6 weeks, in my opinion; perhaps 8. Taken with a grain of salt of course.
