The SVN repository contains always the latest changes. When we release a new major release, we open an internal branch and backport important fixes to the branch to prevent regressions. The development is done on the SVN trunk. For this reason, there is usually no public SVN repository available for VBox versions x.y.z with z != 0. The last release in the public SVN was 2.0.2 (changeset r12415). Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
