+<p>Prior to this release, the section headers in Subversion's authz
+access files&mdash;which contain repository names and repository
+filesystem paths&mdash;were parsed in a case-insensitive fashion.
+That's been fixed in this release.  The practical fallout, though, is
+that your existing authz files might be depending (perhaps
+unintentionally) on the old behavior and the new behavior could result
+in access to items in your repositories being unexpectedly
+denied&mdash;or granted&mdash;as a result of upgrading to Subversion
+1.7.  Please review all authz access files for case correctness.  (For
+details,
+see <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3781"
