Development Roadmap

Milestones are set as short timelines (around three weeks), with a few key features. We will be doing plenty of bug fixing and other work during the development towards a milestone, but "meeting a milestone" requires the specified features to have been implemented.

For each release, we give the date by which coding for that release should be done, i.e., the release branch is made on this date. The release tarball itself will come out a few days after that, depending on the release manager's schedule. Binary package updates for various OS's generally follow the tarball by a few days.

• Subversion 0.30 (code complete on Sunday, 21 September 2003): Interim release, see issues marked with the "0.30" milestone.
• Subversion 0.31 (code complete on Tuesday, 7 October 2003): Interim release, see issues marked with the "0.31" milestone.
