There are no schema changes, but 1.9 is faster at many working copy operations due to more optimized queries. > If so, it makes sense to update the "Upgrading the Working Copy" section: > > https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html#wc-upgrade > > At least I was initially reluctant to try Subversion 1.9 on my > real-world working copies to avoid troubles when switching back to 1.8. Absolutely; the release notes are not final until 1.9.0 is released; that's why they're not published on our site (i.e., there's no link to the 1.9 release notes on the site). We'll be updating them until the last minute. -- Brane
