We might have to withdraw one to fix bugs, and fixing -those bugs might involve changing APIs, or changing a soft-upgrade -strategy in the repository or working copy formats. If some production -users had begun depending on the new API, or had unknowingly -soft-upgraded their repository or working copy, then they'd be in for -a very unpleasant suprise when the real release comes out and doesn't -have the same API anymore, or doesn't use the same formats. Not only -would Subversion suddenly "stop working" for them, but there wouldn't -be any convenient path to get it working again, since no blessed -Subversion release would have the code needed to interpret their -legacy data.</p> - -<p style="font-size: 11pt">We encourage RC testing by users who know -how to install from a tarball independently of their OS's packaging -system. Users who install only packaged releases, however, should wait -for and use only officially released Subversions. Anything else is -playing with fire. When the inevitable blowup happens, both your -reputation as a packager and Subversion's reputation will suffer -- -but only one will deserve it.</p> - -<p>If you want to help us test this distribution of Subversion, you -can find the files <a href="[dirname]/">here</a>.</p> - -</body> -</html> |
