What's New in TortoiseSVN 1.5

• Merge Tracking
• Sparse checkouts
• Cyrus SASL support for svnserve
• Changelist support
• Log message caching
• Repository browser
• Revision graph
• Client side hook scripts
• TortoiseMerge

WARNING: if a Subversion 1.5 client encounters a pre-1.5 working copy, it will automatically upgrade the working copy format as soon as it touches it, making it unreadable by older Subversion clients. If you are using several versions of Subversion on your machine, you need to be careful about which version you use in which working copy, to avoid accidentally upgrading the working copy format. This "auto upgrade" feature, however, does not occur with the new repository format.

 Working Copy and Repository Format Changes

The working copy format has been upgraded. This means that 1.4 and older Subversion clients will not be able to work with working copies produced by Subversion 1.5. Working copies are upgraded automatically.

Similarly, the repository format has changed, meaning that 1.4 and older versions of Subversion tools that normally access a repository directly (e.g. svnserve, mod_dav_svn, svnadmin) won't be able to read a repository created by Subversion 1.5. But, repositories are not upgraded automatically.
Working Copy Upgrades

WARNING: if a Subversion 1.5 client encounters a pre-1.5 working copy, it will automatically upgrade the working copy format as soon as it touches it, making it unreadable by older Subversion clients. If you are using several versions of Subversion on your machine, be careful about which version you use in which working copy, to avoid accidentally upgrading a working copy. (But note that this "auto upgrade" behavior does not occur with the repositories, only working copies.)

If you accidentally upgrade a 1.4 working copy to 1.5, and wish to downgrade back to 1.4, use the change-svn-wc-format.py script. See this FAQ entry for details, and run the script with the --help option for usage instructions.
Repository Upgrades

The Subversion 1.5 server works with 1.4 and older repositories, and it will not upgrade such repositories to 1.5 unless specifically requested to via the svnadmin upgrade command. This means that some of the new 1.5 features will not become available simply by upgrading your server: you will also have to upgrade your repositories. (We decided not to auto-upgrade repositories because we didn't want 1.5 to silently make repositories unusable by 1.4 — that step should be a conscious decision on the part of the repository admin.)

After running svnadmin upgrade, you may wish to also run the svn-populate-node-origins-index program on the repository. Subversion 1.5 maintains a node-origins index for each repository, and builds the index lazily as the information is needed. But for old repositories with lots of revisions, it's better to create the index in one step, using the aforementioned tool, than to have live queries be slower until the index has built itself. See issue #3024 for details.

Paint.NET v3.35 Beta 2 Released

This releases introduces a new Posterize adjustment, a new Intersect selection mode, and dramatically improved performance for selection editing.

Changes since Beta 1:

• Changed: When using a selection mode other than "replace", it will now draw the selection outline so that you can see both the original and resulting selection areas. Before, it would only draw the resulting selection area outline, which made modes such as Intersect hard to use.
• Changed: The canvas background is now a solid color instead of a gradient. The gradient was causing certain tone misjudgments related to bright versus dark colors.
• Changed: Shortcut key for Sepia is now Ctrl+Shift+E. The shortcut for Posterize is now Ctrl+Shift+P.
• New: When holding Ctrl or Alt for a selection tool, the cursor now has a plus or minus indicator.
• Fixed: The Resize dialog had some rounding errors with the "Maintain aspect ratio" feature, which caused a few discrepancies and even a spurious "out of memory" error.
• Fixed: Some quirks with the Color Wheel control for IndirectUI-based effect plugins.
• Fixed: Several miscellaneous and rare crashes.
• Fixed: The installer would display a bizarre error if a "blank" install folder was attempted.
• Fixed: The installer now only accepts absolute path locations, instead of relative ones. This fixes an ambiguity between where Paint.NET believes it is installing itself to, and the directory that Windows Installer actually uses.
