This file tracks the status of releases in the 1.9.x line.

See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-stabilization
for details on how release lines and voting work, what kinds of bugs can
delay a release, etc.

Status of 1.9.0:

Candidate changes:
==================

 * r1660593
   Fix recording last-* information on nodes copied from foreign repositories
   Justification:
     Recording revisions (and other details) of foreign repositories causes
     incorrect status output and bugs when using -rCOMMITTED, -rPREV, etc.
     Local fix.
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben, philip

 * r1660646
   Fix calculating the repository path of replaced directories on entry upgrade
   Justification:
     Simple fix that avoids recording invalid data in WC-NG.
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben, philip

 * r1661131, r1661179
   Reduce revision gaps on simple moves during commit.
   Justification:
     Simple fix that exposes some of our hard work on move support in 1.8-1.9.
   Notes:
     This implements only the very simplest case to avoid touching too much
     code, but it should handle the most common move cases.
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben

 * r1661247
   Support Python 3 in autogen.sh / gen-make.py.
   Justification:
     Allow building with Python 3, since Python 2 is end-of-life:

 * r1661195,r1661208,r1661235,r1661236,r1661238,r1661253
   More 'svn blame' fixes.
   Justification:
     Cleans up the 'Prospective blame' implementation to something usable.
   Depends:
     Requires that the already approved r1660969 group is merged.
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben, philip

 * r1661451, r1661484, r1661511
   Expose metadata_only option on svn_client_copy7()
   Justification:
     We revved this api in 1.9, and already expose this flag for move
     and revert. The implementation is used by at least one Subversion
     GUI since 1.8 (as the flag is available at the libsvn_wc level)
   Votes:
     +1: rhuijben, philip (not after 1.9.0)

 * r1661476, r1661480, r1661482
   Fix a segfault when running 'svn info' on a WORKING exclude
   Justification:
     Optimizes url calculation through libsvn_wc and libsvn_client and
     fixes a few real bugs. Makes not-present behavior in info explicit.
   Votes:
     +1: philip, rhuijben

 * r1661664, r1661669, r1661673, r1661695, r1661682, r1661698
   Properly handle deletes that have local replacements as a plain delete
   Justification:
     Avoids loosing work. This scenario needs to raise tree conflicts in
     the update editor.
   Notes:
     More backports or a backport branch might be necessary.
     Contains change to public api, so 1.9.0 only
     (And otherwise performance hit)
   Votes:
     +0: rhuijben (Fixes actual user bugs)

 * r1661718 and many others
   Fix invalid database state (moves) on incoming deletes during update
   Justification:
     Fixes database corruption. A huge catch-up merge is probably easier
     than a backport.
   Votes:
     +0: rhuijben

 * r1661570 and many others.
   Fix analyzing a tree with one or a few deletes somewhere, as completely
   deleted.
   Justification:
     Makes the update editor choose the wrong resolver strategy. Also the
     reason why we so many 'delete-delete' tree conflicts, while in
     practice this should be an uncommon kind.
   Votes:
     +0: rhuijben

Veto-blocked changes:
=====================


Approved changes:
=================

 * r1660969, r1660975, r1660991, r1661120, r1661121
   Fix assertion reported as part of issue #4467,
   Justification:
     Fixing a few simple revision checks inside the blame handling allows the
     'kidney blame' to work without assertions failing.
   Notes:
     r1661120 adds a regression test for this assertion problem, in which
     it is required that the file doesn't change in the passed revision.
