+
+<p>Apache Subversion 1.7 is a superset of all previous Subversion releases,
+and is considered the current "best" release. Any feature or bugfix
+in 1.0.x through 1.6.x is also in 1.7, but 1.7 contains features and
+bugfixes not present in any earlier release. The new features will
+eventually be documented in a 1.7 version of the free Subversion book
+(<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com" >svnbook.red-bean.com</a>).</p>
+
+<p>This page describes only major changes. For a complete list of
+changes, see the 1.7 section of the <a
+href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/CHANGES" >CHANGES</a>
+file.</p>

+<h2>Compatibility Concerns
+ <a class="sectionlink" href="#compatibility"
+ title="Link to this section">¶</a>
+</h2>
+
+<p>Older clients and servers interoperate transparently with 1.7
+servers and clients. However, some of the new 1.7 features may not be
+available unless both client and server are the latest version. There are
+also cases where a new feature will work but will run less efficiently if
+the client is new and the server old.</p>
+
+<p>There is <strong>no need</strong> to dump and reload your
+repositories. Subversion 1.7 can read repositories created by earlier
+versions. To upgrade an existing installation, just install the
+newest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones.</p>
+
+<p>Subversion 1.7 maintains API/ABI compatibility with earlier
+releases, by only adding new functions, never removing old ones. A
+program written to the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 API can both compile
+and run using 1.7 libraries. However, a program written for 1.7
+cannot necessarily compile or run against older libraries.</p>
+
+<p>There may be limited cases where the behavior of old APIs may have been
+slightly modified from previous releases. These are cases where edge cases
+of the functionality has been deemed buggy, and therefore improved or removed.
+Please consult the
+<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/api-errata/1.7/">
+API errata</a> for more detailed information on what these APIs are and what
+impact these changes may have. For Subversion 1.7, these errata are limited to
+<code>libsvn_wc</code>.</p>

+<h3>Command Line Output Changes
+ <a class="sectionlink" href="#output-changes"
+ title="Link to this section">¶</a>
+</h3>
+
+<p>Although we try hard to keep output from the command line programs
+compatible between releases, new information sometimes has to be
+added. This can break scripts that rely on the exact format of the
+output. For this reason, we encourage programs which consume the output
+of the commandline client to consider using the <code>--xml</code> option,
+or accessing Subversion through the various bindings interfaces.</p>

+<p>There are far too many enhancements and new options to the
+command-line client to list them all here. Aside from all the ones
+mentioned already in these release notes, below are a few more that we

+
+<p>There are too many new and revised APIs in Subversion 1.7.0 to list
+them all here. See the <a
+href="http://subversion.apache.org/docs/api/1.7/" >Subversion API
+Documentation</a> page for general API information. If you develop a
+3rd-party client application that uses Subversion APIs, you should
+probably look at the header files for the interfaces you use and see
+what's changed.</p>
+
+<p>One general change is that most APIs that formerly took a
+<tt>recurse</tt> parameter have been upgraded to accept a
+<tt>depth</tt> parameter instead, to enable the new <a
+href="#sparse-checkouts">sparse checkouts</a> feature.</p>

+<p>The Subversion 1.5.x line is no longer supported. This doesn't
+mean that your 1.5 installation is doomed; if it works well and is all
+you need, that's fine. "No longer supported" just means we've stopped
+accepting bug reports against 1.5.x versions, and will not make any
+more 1.5.x bugfix releases.</p>
