summary of changes, or for a more thorough overview:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.14
NOTE 1: There is no need to dump and reload repositories, and the
working copy format is still the same as Subversion 1.8 through 1.13.
NOTE 2: The upstream release also contains a fix for a security issue in
mod_dav_svn (CVE-2020-17525), but since we do not build or use any
Apache modules, it is not an issue for the FreeBSD base system.

Formal release notes are available:

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.

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.
Highlights:
* Security fix for apache server plugin that we don't build or use
* sqlite performance improvements.
* bug fixes for edge cases and some other less common operations.
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.
