A View Down The Road
The one constant in the open source world is change. At the time of writing,
Subversion 1.0 is the current released stable version. The first development release
of Subversion 1.1 is also available. Along with a host of fixes and several new
command-line options, the next version has the following interesting features:
Symbolic links may be versioned
Unix-style symbolic links are stored in the repository as a regular file with a
special attribute. The svn client knows how to store and extract symbolic
links correctly on Unix-style systems.
Nondatabase repository backend
Repositories can be set up to store data in regular files, instead of requiring
the use of Berkeley DB.
Better localization support
The framework for localization of the Subversion code has been improved,
with at least eight translations already available.
The Subversion web site’s Roadmap page (http://subversion.tigris.org/roadmap.
html) lists the following future development goals. (You should recheck the
website, things will undoubtedly have changed.)
Subversion 1.2 goals
Optional locking (reserved checkouts).
Medium-term goals
True rename support (not based on copy/delete).
Merge tracking (describes a whole class of problems).

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
