Svk 2.0 released
Thursday, January 25th, 2007Svk 2.0 was released on 3 Jan 2007.
Svk is the distributed version control system built on top of Subversion, with many advanced features. Svk homepage is at http://svk.bestpractical.com/.
Major changes since last major release include:
- Interactive commits: svk will walk you through each change in each file, and let you decide exactly which ones you want to commit.
- Views support appeared for beta testing: You can set up a “view” that is a map of several parts of a repository (different paths at different revisions). You can then check the “view” out and work with it as if it’s just an ordinary svk checkout path.
- Better copy and rename support across merge.
- Speed up repository synchronisation significantly.
Lots of smaller changes and bugfixes are also present.

Junio also added:
To let people who only follow the ‘maint’ releases know what’s happening in the larger picture…
We have just started talking about the next feature release v1.5.0 on the ‘master’ branch side. If we are lucky we could do a -rc1 around Christmas, emperor’s birthday in Japan, or perhaps emperor’s birthday in the Penguin land, but in any case the real release is not expected to happen by mid January.
The new release will have many end-user level changes since the last feature release v1.4.4, both at the UI level and at the documentation level, based on previous discussions on the list.
It is strongly encouraged and very much appreciated to review and to fill gaps you would find in today’s ‘master’ and what’s cooking in ‘next’, if you were involved in the discussions and/or if you are interested in the theme of v1.5.0: “usability and teachability”.
