== New and Changed Features ==

=== 2.1.0 : SVNKit upgrade ===

SVNKit (former JavaSVN) has been upgraded to 1.1.2. This release is compatible with Subversion 1.4 client.

Before upgrading, you need to be aware that SVN 1.4 introduces a change in working area metadata format. As a consequence you cannot access/manage a working area with both a SVN 1.4 client and a previous version. There is no restriction in client/server versions combinations.

This may have a consequence on SCDB, depending on the client you use to do the SVN operations. This is because `ant deploy` task uses SVNKit and thus require a 1.4 working area metadata format. To solve any potention problems you need to upgrade the SVN client on the machine you use to administer SCDB (where you run `ant`) to version 1.4 or later.

As an alternative, you can use `jsvn` command provided with SVNKit instead of `svn`. The syntax is the same, refert to `svn help` for the command documentation. To use `jsvn` provided with SCDB tools, enter the following command :
{{{
external/svnkit/jsvn
}}}

=== 2.0.0 : default compiler changed to panc v7 ===

panc v7 (Java version of panc) is now the default compiler. Old compiler can still be used if necessary appending `.c` to ant task names.

=== 2.0.0 : configuration file for build-tag.pl ===

`build-tag.pl` is the script used to deploy configuration. It runs on the Quattor server. Version provided with 2.0.0 supports local customization through file `/etc/build-tag.pl`.

Use of new version supposes that you manually replace your existing script on the server with the new one provided in this release
