The 1.9.6 release artifacts are now available for testing/signing. Please get the tarballs from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/subversion and add your signatures there.
I'm aiming to release this within a week. (CHANGES points to this Wednesday, which may be a bit optimistic on my part.) Special notes for this release: 1. *.sha512 files are being created. Please verify them as you used to verify the *.sha1 filfes. 2. CHANGES links to a not-yet-written section of the release notes. That section is expected to be written in the next few days. Thanks!
