+<h4>Cannot build SWIG Python bindings without SWIG

+</h4>
+
+<p>When building Subversion from a 1.14.0 release archive, it is not possible
+to build Subversion's SWIG Python bindings if SWIG is not installed. This is a
+bug because the sources generated by SWIG are included with the release. The
+failure is due to Subversion's build system attempting to check the version of
+SWIG, which fails if SWIG is not available.</p>
+
+<p>This issue is fixed as 1.14.1. The SWIG version check is automatically
+skipped if the SWIG-generated files are present when <tt>configure</tt> is
+run. Also, the check can be skipped explicitly by passing the
+<tt>--without-swig</tt> option to <tt>configure</tt>.</p>
