Software Update: TortoiseSVN 1.6.7

Version 1.6.7 of TortoiseSVN was released Friday. This program is a user interface for Subversion, which is used by developers to perform version control. This is almost indispensable when several people are working on a project. TortoiseSVN integrates itself as a shell extension into Windows and can be used on its own or in combination with an ide. Version 1.6.7 of TortoiseSVN ships with Subversion 1.6.9 and fixes fourteen issues. However, since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following changes have been made:

Version 1.6.7

Bug fixed:

• The status cache could segfault in some situations.
• Memory leak in SubWCRevCOM.
• The copy-from url in the Check-for-modifications Dialog was wrong for single files.
• SubWCRevCOM could only be used by one single application at a time.
• The column order wasn’t saved correctly in the status list control.
• The message “only numbers are allowed” could be shown even when the bugtraq:number property was set to false.
• The “diff with previous revision” in the log dialog could use the wrong revision if there was a path with a copyfrom revision.
• Deadlock in the shell extension when used from a multi-threaded application.
• The “commonURL” parameter in the CheckCommit() method of the IBugtraqProvider2 interface was sometimes wrong.
• Revision graph won’t show w/c revision under certain conditions.
• Revision graph would segfault for small repositories
• Errors returned in a post-commit hook script were ignored in a branch/tag/copy operation.
• Text files dragged from the repository browser to the explorer got truncated if they had the svn:eol-style property set.
• Resizing the dialogs with right/middle click didn’t respect the current monitor but always moved the dialogs to the primary monitor.

Version 1.6.6

Changed:

• Reduced disk access in the status cache.

Bug fixed:

• The /url parameter was ignored for import commands.
• Some project properites were not automatically added to newly added folders.
• Resolving tree conflicts resulted in an error message.
• Under rare conditions, missing data would not be added to the log cache.
• right-dragging added files was not possible.
• The menu verbs were language dependent.
