An AnkhSVN 1.0 release candidate is now available at http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=7315. This is linked to Subversion 1.4 rc4, Berkeley DB 4.4.20, OpenSSL 0.9.8a, Neon 0.25.5 and Zlib 1.2.3.

Note that any application linked to Subversion 1.4 (including the Ankh release candidate) will silently and irrevocably upgrade your working copies to a new working copy format. Use of such an application together with a pre-1.4 client will not work. The TortoiseSVN project makes a 1.4-compatible client available at http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads. 1.4-compatible versions of the svn binaries can be found with the AnkhSVN release candidate.

Also, the release candidate is linked to Berkeley DB 4.4. If you are using a local (file://) BDB repository with Ankh, it will need to be upgraded. Our general recommendation is to avoid the use of BDB for file:// access in favour of FSFS repositories.
