CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 Now Available
The next iteration of the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5 series is here with the release of CSFE 5.1. For this release, we've created a handy new guide to all the latest features.
For developers, you'll find some additions to the CSFE Build It page: an updated SDK, new Javadoc, and a developer's guide addendum.
Subversion Developer Summit
The Subversion Developer Summit, co-located at SubConf in Munich, was a great success. The purpose of the summit was to put together a roadmap for future Subversion development. See the daily agenda and the live-blogging via twitter.
