sventon 1.1 RC1

sventon 1.1.0 RC 1 available

sventon release 1.1.0 RC 1 is now available for downloading and testing. This is the first public release of the 1.1 branch with lots of new functionality. It is not to be considered stable and not for production use.

Great new stuff:

1. Support for multiple repositories in one sventon instance.
You can now configure as many repositories as you like (limited by system resources) within one sventon instance.

2. Added sorting and filtering to all directory views.
It's possible to sort on headings in the directory views, ascending or descending. Easy-to-apply filters make it possible to view only files with a certain extension.

3. Download files and directories as zip files.
What the heading says.

4. New logs cache powered by Lucene.
The repository cache has been enhanced and a new logs cache has been added, making it possible to instantly find commits based on the logs text.

5. Upgrade to JavaSVN 1.1.
Using the JavaSVN 1.1 release brings, among other things, support for the file:// protocol.

6. New powerful directory flatten view.

7. Numerous refactorings and code clean-up.

8. Still easy to configure (albeit a bit less intuitive, we'll fix that for next RC)

New screenshots are available, have a look.

We need your help to test this! Of special interest is testing of non Latin-1 character sets in file names when doing log search and zip downloads. There are known bugs in this release, please browse the bug database before reporting issues. Please report issues in the forum.

Note that sventon requires Java 5, Java 6 beta is not supported at this time.
