See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-stabilization for details on how release lines and voting work, what kinds of bugs can delay a release, etc. Status of 1.8.11: Candidate changes: ================== * r1501293, r1501338, r1501360, r1501533 Fix issue #4390, "parallel nested checkout not possible with wc-ng" Justification: Regression from 1.6. User complained. See issue for details. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-issue4390 Depends: Nomination conflicts with the branch and merges cleanly without it. Branch should probably be removed from the nomination (it was only needed before r1503552). Votes: +1: stsp -0: ivan, brane (not regression from 1.7.x, destructive change in libsvn_wc core) -0: rhuijben (temporarily remove my +1 until I complete investigating a related problem. It looks like this fix doesn't work for the user scenario it was intended for) * r1536854 Make 'svnadmin verify' detect inconsistencies that will prevent loading dump files. Justification: Some users rely on dump files as a means of repository backup. Without this patch, there is no way except of 'svnadmin load' to know that these dump files will load at all. With this patch, a successful verify run should guarantee loadable dump files. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1536854 Votes: +1: stefan2 +0: breser (I'd be +1 if not for the unused function in svnadmin_tests.py) * r1542610, r1564576, r1568180 Add missing description to build.conf, to properly generate a version resource (including icon) for this executable on Windows. Notes: r1564576 breaks compilation on Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013 of this project. r1568180 fixes this problem. Votes: +1: rhuijben, breser +1: (without r1564567, r1568180): stsp -0: brane (horrible grammar; suggest translation to English) * r1555491 Fix svn_fs_close_root for FSFS transaction roots. Justification: Without this patch, cache-related pool cleanups may be run after the svn_fs_t object has been destroyed. I.e. even with explicit calls to svn_fs_close_root, the user may see a segfault. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1555491 Votes: +1: stefan2 -0: philip, rhuijben (Seems to be a different name for the same pool?) * r1589360 Make property output in 'svn diff' stable Justification: Local change that makes it easier to compare patch files. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1589360 Votes: +1: ivan, rhuijben -0: stefan2 (compiler misses "private/svn_sorts_private.h", before branch) * r1590751 Use empty, rather than NULL, config if default is unreadable. Justification: svn SEGV reported by user. Votes: +1: philip -0: julianfoad (prefer to fix all the programs at the same time; other queries -- see email thread) * r1600331, r1600348, 1600368, r1600563, r1600781 Improve gpg-agent support. Justification: Avoids spurious error logs, supports standard socket locations and removes double prompts from pinentry. Without these changes it's far less desireable to use. Notes: Branch is needed since SVN_VA_NULL is not available in 1.8.x. This does change the behavior of gpg-agent from prompting twice for the password with pinentry to confirm the user hasn't entered an incorrect password to instead clearing bad cached passwords and reprompting. See my email on the subject: https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201406.mbox/%3C538D2BE5.3070706%40reser.org%3E Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-gpg-agent Votes: +1: breser, philip * r1619380, r1619393 Fix diff of a locally copied directory with props: it showed all props as added instead of a diff against the copy-from props. Justification: Behaviour regression introduced in 1.8.0. Notes: r1619380 is the fix; r1619393 a test for it. The test on trunk@1619393 is tweaked to account for a trunk bug in the display of diff headers; the backport branch provides the correct version for 1.8.x. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1611379 Votes: +1: julianfoad, rhuijben * r1620332 Remove broken conflict resolver menu options. Justification: svn shouldn't offer menu options that always error out. Notes: Run merge with --accept theirs-conflict Votes: +1: stsp, julianfoad * r1621978, r1621981 Fix changelist filtering for repos-WC and WC-WC diffs. Justification: Changelist filtering, enabled by "svn diff --cl foo" for example, was broken (it crashed in common cases) and incomplete even if the crash were avoided. See email thread "Segmentation fault during diff generation" starting at . Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1621978 Votes: +1: julianfoad, rhuijben * r1625533, r1625537 Keep externals registrations on 'svn upgrade' (part of issue 4519) Justification: 'svn upgrade' shouldn't destroy valid information. Votes: +1: rhuijben * r1628536 Fix issue #4085, "external can shadow a versioned directory". Justification: Bug that can lead to a working copy which cannot be updated until a directory shadowing an external, which was switched to the external's location by the externals handling code, is switched back to its original path. Votes: +1: stsp * r1633126 Improve performance of recorded timestamp fixups in svn cleanup Justification: Fixing timestamps on a working copy with properly recorded timestamps should not cost 10* the time of walking the working copy for status. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1633126 Votes: +1: rhuijben * r1637826 Fix typos in LIBTOOL_M4 and LIBTOOL_CONFIG expansion in autogen.sh Justification: Makes no sense to tell users to set environment variables to fix builds with libtool in a nonstandard location, if we then don't interpret said environment variables correctly. Votes: +1: brane Veto-blocked changes: ===================== * r1524145 Make the 'm' conflict prompt option run external merge tool if configured. Justification: Usability fix. The current behaviour ('m' -> internal merge tool, 'l' -> external merge tool) confuses users who try 'm' to run an external merge tool. See issue #4426. Votes: +1: stsp -1: breser (see my email to dev@, <5282FE15.40505@reser.org>) * r1560723, r1561419, r1561427, r1561428 Fix the handling of pre-1.4 FSFS repositories. Branch: ^/subversion/branches/1.8.x-r1560723-and-friends Justification: Without this, old SVN versions won't be able to e.g. hotcopy those repos once 1.8.x made a commit in them. Also, fix our hotcopy code and make it cope with repositories broken by previous 1.8.x releases. Votes: +1: stefan2 -1: ivan (Significant performance degradation for svnadmin hotcopy, the root cause is not fixed.
