[ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: {subversion,subversion-apache2,subversion-devel,subversion-perl,subversion-python,subversion-ruby}-1.6.2-4


A new version of subversion is now available for download. This
version is built for Cygwin 1.7.

CYGWIN NEWS:
============
I've restored the local patch to retry failing filesystem
operations, which a fix to also retry failing moves. This is
necessary to address problems due to other Windows components hold
files or directories open (e.g., virus scanners).

There were two test failures with Cygwin 1.7. One was related to
packing an FSFS filesystem. The other problem was that tests hung
using the serf HTTP library. This package still includes support for
serf, but if you encounter problems, please switch to the neon
library.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release. See CHANGES (URL below) for more
information.

IMPORTANT: This release will silently upgrade your Subversion
working copies to the 1.6 format, rendering them unusable with
previous major versions of Subversion.
