Free Open Source Software with Key Enhancements Released After the Same Rigorous QA as Enterprise Products Supporting the World's Largest Subversion Implementations
London, UK  - 29 November, 2010 - WANdisco, the makers of Enterprise Subversion with the most active core developers from the project on staff, has continued its heavy investment in the Subversion Open Source project by being the first to make certified Subversion 1.6.15 binaries available for free download. WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries provide a complete, fully tested version of Subversion based on the most recent stable release, including the latest fixes.
Hyrum Wright, WANdisco’s Director of Open Source, and release manager for the Subversion project said: “I would advise users to upgrade by downloading the latest release of these certified Subversion binaries.  1.6.15 continues the effort to enhance the functionality and improve the stability of the 1.6 release series.”
WANdisco’s certified Subversion 1.6.15 binaries are available for free downloaded at: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/os/downloads. The latest release of WANdisco’s certified Subversion binaries include several key enhancements as well as bug fixes. One major benefit for users downloading 1.6.15 binaries is a fix for server-side crashes when using SVNParentPath and a memory leak invoked by running ‘svn blame –g’. The former affects only http-based SVN server installations while the latter affects all SVN server installations.
These freely available, certified Subversion binaries undergo the same rigorous quality assurance process that WANdisco uses for its enterprise products that support the world's largest Subversion implementations with over 40,000 users, 2,500 repositories and 18 million transactions per day in a single implementation. Free community support for WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries is available with registration at: http://subversion.wandisco.com

Pure Subversion Software Integrates Easily Without any Vendor Lock in Tricks.
Like all releases of WANdisco’s certified Subversion binaries, these 1.6.15 binaries aren’t polluted with any other software that users don't really need or want. WANdisco's pure Subversion binaries are only 6MB versus the massive 80MB packages of some vendors.  Users aren't forced down the path of using proprietary defect trackers or any other software that they're not currently using with Subversion.  WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries can be used with any other open source or closed source software that works with Subversion. Customers that combine a WANdisco Subversion support contract with WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries have the added benefit of automated access to the latest fixes and updates.

Invest in WANdisco’s Subversion Support Services and Support Subversion Open Source.
Profits from WANdisco’s Subversion support contracts are being used to hire additional Subversion committers and support the activities of the Subversion community. WANdisco's goal is to ensure that Subversion continues to provide the features that its users want and need and that the Subversion community has the resources to support these efforts.

WANdisco's Subversion support services are backed by a dedicated team of core Subversion development, QA and support professionals based at the company's offices in the US and the UK. As a result, all of WANdisco's Subversion support customers have access to secure, high quality live support and immediate fixes on a 24-by-7 basis regardless of where they're located. This is critical when problems arise and it's the reason so many organizations that want the same level of support available with commercial enterprise software switch to WANdisco. The team is led by Hyrum Wright, WANdisco's Director of Open Source. Hyrum has also been the release manager for the Subversion project since early 2008.

Support contracts include:
•   24-by-7 Online, Phone and Email Support.
•   Guaranteed response times.
•   Global coverage from the United States and Europe.
•   Automated delivery of fixes and upgrades.
•   Technical Account Managers who act as a single point of contact for critical issues.
