<h3>Development Roadmap</h3>
<blockquote>
<font color="green"><b>Met</b></font>:
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><b>Milestone 1</b> (20 Oct 2000): Basic working copy manipulation;
client can checkout/update/commit using XML files.
</li>
<li><b>Milestone 2</b> (15 May 2001): Rudimentary working filesystem;
client can checkout/update/commit using WebDAV layer.
</li>
<li> <b>Milestone 3</b> (30 August 2001): Subversion is now
self-hosting; see the <a href="/project_source.html">Project
Source</a> page for details.

lwere reached together, and fix various bugs related to properties,
networking, and filesystem deltification.
</li>
<li> <b>Subversion 0.6 (Milestone 6)</b> (12 Nov 2001): Complete
"<tt>svn&nbsp;log</tt>", and have "<tt>svn&nbsp;mv</tt>",
"<tt>svn&nbsp;cp</tt>" working at least on files, with directory
support optional (for this milestone, that is, not in the long term).

<p>
Recently, milestones are being set as short timelines (around
three weeks), with a few key features. We will be doing plenty
of bug fixing and other work during the development towards a
milestone, but "meeting a milestone" requires the specified
features to have been implemented.

<h3>Recent Activities</h3>
Much bug swatting and patch review, plus work toward the latest
milestone. Committers are trying to place a higher priority on patch
review & response, as the project has reached the stage where
increasing parallelization of development will bring faster progress.
