Download Subversion 1.5.5

Subversion is a program for software and project developers, among others, with which management and version control over data and source code can be performed. The program can be seen as a direct competitor to the well-known cvs. The developers of Subversion have fixed some bugs from the previous release resulting in version 1.5.5. The corresponding list of customizations looks like this:
