A new version of subversion is available. This is a major new upstream release.
This release candidate is expected to become the final release on or around Oct. 11, barring show-stopping bugs. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! The Apache Subversion team says the following: Even though we feel that this release is ready for widespread testing by the community, some things may still change before the final release. Of particular note, please remember than persistent data, such as the working copy or repository formats may change before the final release, and there may not be an upgrade path from the pre-releases to the final. For this reason, this release is marked "experimental" at this time. NEWS: ===== See CHANGES (URL below) for more information about the differences between 1.6.17 and previous Subversion releases. IMPORTANT: This release has a new working copy format. To use this release, you must manually upgrade your working copy format, rendering it unusable with previous major releases.

See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.7.0-rc4/CHANGES for more details about the changes in 1.7.0.
