Apache Subversion 1.8.9, a fully-featured version control system originally designed to be a better CVS, has been released and is now available for download.

Apache Subversion 1.8.9 is a massive update and the developers have made a number of very important changes, which are available for the client and the server alike.

According to the changelog, the proper peg revision is now being used over DAV, upgrading from version 1.7 with exclusive locks is now possible, inconsistent inherited property results have been corrected, the minimal timestamp sleep has been increased from 1ms to 10ms, an assertion that occurred when committing a deleted descendant has been corrected, and “--verbose” against older servers has been fixed.

Also, an issue where mixed revision copy with non copy descendants that shadow a not present node couldn't be committed has been fixed, an issue where the output would vary has been fixed, duplicate sqlite analyze information rows are now avoided, Mavericks have been added to the sysinfo output, and two memory lifetime bugs have been corrected.
