TortoiseSVN 1.6.10 has been released.
This is a bugfix release/maintenance release, still linked with Subversion 1.6.12.
Apart from a few bugfixes, this release also works again on Windows 2000 and XP SP2 and earlier. Version 1.6.9 required at least XP with SP3.
We recommend that you update your TortoiseSVN client to this latest version. You can get it from our download page.
Also note that after installing this version, you have to run a repair install. To do that, run the installer again and click the "Repair" button. I'm sorry about the inconvenience.
If you want to know why the repair install is required, you can read about the technical details in my earlier post.
Some of you may have noticed that the last two versions of TortoiseSVN did not always install properly if an older version was already installed. To fix the problem, all you needed to do was to run the installer again and choose "Repair" in the dialog.
Unfortunately, the next version (supposed to be 1.6.10) will have the very same problem. I'm sorry about that. But the versions after that should work fine again. That means an update from any version to version 1.6.10 or later will require a repair install!
If you want to know more about the technical details of the problem, read on. If not, just remember that all you have to do is to run the installer again and choose "Repair".
