| Wakefield, MA —31 October 2018—</strong> The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® Subversion® v1.11.0, the latest version of the popular centralized software version control system.

|
|
| </p>
|
| <p>Apache Subversion is characterized by its reliability as a safe haven for valuable data; the simplicity of its model and usage; and its ability to support the needs of a wide variety of users and projects, from individuals to large-scale enterprise operations.</p>
|
| <p>
|
|
|
| "Subversion 1.11 is the first release which follows our new six-month release cycle," said Stefan Sperling, Vice President of Apache Subversion. "Subversion 1.11 provides iterative improvements of features released in Subversion 1.10, and will be supported for six months."

|
| <p>
|
| Apache Subversion v1.11.0 highlights include:
|
|
|
| </p>
|
| <p> </p>
|
| <ul>
|
| <li>More robust shelving of changes in the working copy;</li>
|
| <li>Interactive conflict resolution supports more conflict situations involving moved files and directories; and</li>
|
| <li>New command to write out a view specification describing the current working copy shape.</li>
|
| </ul>
|
| <p><br />Based on the new release cycle, Apache Subversion 1.10 is now considered a long-term support (LTS) release, with a planned support period of four years. The next LTS release will be Subversion 1.14, which is anticipated 18 months from now.
|
|
|
| </p>
|
| <p>"Our new release plan gives users who value stability plenty of time to schedule upgrades between LTS releases, while users who prefer quick access to new features will be able to get updated approximately every 6 months," added Sperling. "Several new client-side features are marked ‘experimental’ in this 1.11 release. We encourage all our users to test these features and provide feedback."
