This contains only bug fixes, no new features. The repository format is
also unchanged from 1.9.2. Full list of changes between 1.9.4 and
earlier versions:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.9.4/CHANGES
Note that the two security issues fixed in 1.9.4 (CVE-2016-2167 and
CVE-2016-2168) do not affect the version of Subversion in the FreeBSD
base system, since neither SASL nor Apache modules are enabled.
Relnotes: yes
MFC after: 2 weeks
Formal release notes are available:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html
Of particular note, the client checkout format has *not* changed so
upgrades should *not* be required.
When reading a repository (file:// or running as a local server), an
improved fsfs version 7 is available with significant performance
improvements. An optional upgrade is possible to use the new features.
Without the upgrade, this is fully read/write compatible with the
version 6 fsfs as in svn-1.8.
Relnotes: yes
fixes and quality of life improvements.
While there are security issues in this time frame that affect usage as a
server (eg: linked into apache), this isn't possible here.
components: apr-1.4.6 -> 1.4.8 and apr-util-1.4.1 -> 1.5.2.
This is a post point-zero bug-fix / fix-sharp-edges release, including
some workarounds for UTF-8 for people who haven't yet turned on WITH_ICONV.
This is actually a fully functional build except:
* All internal shared libraries are static linked to make sure there
is no interference with ports (and to reduce build time).
* It does not have the python/perl/etc plugin or API support.
* By default, it installs as "svnlite" rather than "svn".
* If WITH_SVN added in make.conf, you get "svn".
* If WITHOUT_SVNLITE is in make.conf, this is completely disabled.
To be absolutely clear, this is not intended for any use other than
checking out freebsd source and committing, like we once did with cvs.
It should be usable for small scale local repositories that don't
need the python/perl plugin architecture.
