New and Changed Features
2.1.0 : Subversion 1.4 requires a new httpd version (SL3)
If you choose to upgrade your Subversion client to 1.4 or later to be consistent with new SVNKit version, on SL3.x machines, you need to install a new version of httpd 2.0.46. You can found the new RPM at URL http://quattorsrv.lal.in2p3.fr/packages/os/sl305-i386/updates/httpd-2.0.46-61.1.ent.i386.rpm.
On SL4.x machines, the standard httpd version works properly with new Subversion client.
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
