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.

Upcoming:

• Subversion 0.22 (Thursday, 24 April 2003): Interim release, focus on diff-related problems; see issues marked with the "0.22" milestone.
• Subversion 0.23 (Thursday, 15 May 2003): Interim release, fixing a number of "large" items; see issues marked with the "0.23" milestone.
• ...
• Beta (TBD): Release candidate, heavy testing. Possible inclusion of newer, less popular features. Beta isn't scheduled yet; we're just scheduling interim releases for every three weeks or so, there's no compelling need to plan beyond that yet. See issues marked with the "Beta" milestone.
• 1.0 Release (TBD): Release. See issues marked with the "1.0" milestone.

Done:

• Subversion 0.21 (15 April 2003): Interim release; see issues marked with the "0.21" milestone.
• Subversion 0.20.1 (26 March 2003): Interim bugfix release.
• Subversion 0.20 (20 March 2003): Interim release; see issues marked with the "0.20" milestone.

• Subversion 0.18 (19 February 2003): Interim release; see issues marked with the "0.18" milestone.
• Subversion 0.17.1 (22 January 2003): Interim bugfix release.

Later releases, even interim releases, will increment the minor (middle) number; and the patch (rightmost) number will indicate the iteration of the release, for cases where we do post-release bugfixing. See http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html for more details.

• Subversion 0.13.1 (20 June 2002): continuing the wrap-up for Alpha.
  module system (issue #517), client feedback system rewrite (issue #662), copy history traversal in many commands, a new svn export command, versioned headers and libs, improved test framework, more SWIG work, the delta combiner, and the usual round of bug fixes.
• Subversion 0.13.0 (10 June 2002): Wrapping up large work items in preparation for an Alpha release.

• Subversion 0.8 (14 Jan 2002): Commit system rewrite (issue #463); diffs over the network in both directions (issue #518); newline conversion and keyword substitution (issue #524); and code migration from libsvn_fs to libsvn_repos (issue #428).
