Subversion 1.6.9 Released

Yesterday, the Subversion  development community released Subversion 1.6.9, the latest patch release in the 1.6 series.  Subversion 1.6.9 contains several bug fixes, some of which include:

   * Support for Berkeley DB 4.8.
   * Reduce errors when committing to an out-of-date pass-through proxy.
   * Fix a couple of segmentation faults, one in FSFS, the other when using "svn resolve".
   * "Future-proofing" the 1.6.x release line by allowing 1.6.9 to notice when the current working copy was created by a 1.7-era Subversion client.

The complete list of changes can be found in the change log.

Observant readers will notice the lack of a Subversion 1.6.7 or 1.6.8.  During the release process, our internal validation procedure (described by Philip Martin here), caught a couple of regressions in those releases, so they were pulled in favor of 1.6.9.  As always, if you find bugs, please report them on the mailing list This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
