Go here https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes select a release and then look at the “Feature Compatibility Table” which will specify which features require what server/client version.
However, as already noted, basic features will work with any 1.x client and 1.x server.

Dear developers of subversion: Hello! Question 1: If the version of subversion server is 1.7.10, but my subversion client is 1.8.5, is there any problem? Question 2: At first, use subversion 1.7.10 client to checkout a work-copy. Then subversion 1.8.x client to upgrade the work-copy from 1.7 to 1.8, from then on I just use subversion 1.8.x client to operate this work-copy, is it compatible? I hope that you can help me! Thank you! Looking forward to your reply! Have a nice day! Regards! From Leon Huang Hangzhou China
