Release Notes

• Processing Optimizations. Repository processing has been heavily optimized resulting in orders of magnitude faster processing especially when processing repositories with large files. This means that a dump file is processed in approximately the same time required to copy this dump file on disk – many times faster than before. Also when processing Server files, the processing takes place in approximately the same time required to dump and load the repository using the svn tool – again many times faster than before.
• Improved logging. Added a processing summary to the log file to assist our support team in identifying problems when a log file is sent to us.
• Cancellation improvement. Can now cancel processing while a large file is processed (only works when a dump file is the input).
• Various other fixes. Small fixes mainly to some wordings in the application.

Subdivision 1.6.0 Release Notes

• Find deleted files wizard. Introducing the find and select deleted files wizard. This wizard allows you to easily select files that have already been deleted from the repository or under a folder. You may also optionally search for files that have been deleted before a particular date or revision. This feature is particularly helpful for when you are trying to permanently delete files that were (svn) deleted years ago and are taking a lot of space in your repository.
• Optionally disable automatic calculations. You may now switch the automatic calculation of derived selections off. This is particularly useful for very large repositories when a number of selections need to be made and calculating the derived selections after every selection ended up being very time consuming for the user. Performance optimizations to the selection algorithms are also coming in an upcoming release.
• New svn:mergeinfo adjustment engine. When revisions are dropped, Subdivision updates any subsequently encountered svn:mergeinfo properties to reflect the fact that some revisions were dropped. Up until this release we used exactly the same svn:merginfo adjustment algorithm as svndumpfilter. Unfortunately there were a number of problems with the particular algorithm which resulted in Subdivision outputting potentially unusable svn:mergeinfo in some very rare cases. In this release we updated Subdivision with our very own algorithm that correctly updates the svn:mergeinfo properties under all scenarios.
• New option to remove all svn:merginfo properties. Subdivision now has an output option allowing the user to drop all svn:merginfo properties from a repository during processing.
• New option to remove problematic svn:mergeinfo properties. Subdivision can now optionally remove any svn:mergeinfo properties that cause a problem during processing. Problems can be caused by unparseable properties or properties referencing future revisions. When these problems are encountered, Subdivision can now optionally drop the offending svn:merginfo properties.

Presenting Subdivision 1.5, the biggest release since the launch of the product. Subdivision packs some very powerful new features that we are sure you will love.

Subdivision 1.5.0 Release Notes

• Processing remote repositories via URL! Subdivision can now connect to and process repositories using the svn://, http:// and https:// protocols. This means that Subdivision does not require access to the server files anymore making it possible to process repositories on remote servers. The single most requested feature is finally here!
• Searching for files to add to your selection. You can now search for files using a glob or regular expression pattern and then add them to your selection.
• Processing of delta (version 3) dump files is now possible. Delta format dump files can also be generated when processing a local repository.
• Processing VisualSVN VDFS repositories is now possible using the repository’s URL.
• New output option to prevent dropping empty revisions containing revision properties.
• Upgraded subversion libraries to the latest version (1.9.4).
• Improved support for Unicode project names.
• Improved dump file loading process to reduce memory consumption.
• Improved cancellation mechanism during loading.
• Confirmation now required before closing a project without changes.
• Removing projects from the recent projects table is now possible
• Added a splash screen.
• Fix of the outright crash that would occur when Subdivision was pointed against a VisualSVN VDFS repository or a BerkeleyDB based repository.
• Bug fix where processing would fail if a revision included a file larger than 2.2GB
• Bug fix where the Subdivision Demo would sometimes fail to process dump files generated with svn versions 1.4 or earlier.
• Subdivision can now process dump files that were generated with ancient versions of svn

Release Notes

Updated the included license key to the demo version of subdivision since it had expired. Only released the demo version as the production version of 1.4.2 is not affected by the expired demo license key.

Release Notes

Fixed a bug that caused the processing to fail when processing a multiple gigabyte sized revision from a dump file

Release Notes

• Added the “Remove warning assistant…” in the Extract and Split modes. This assistant can identify and select the required files in order to  remove the warnings that come up when a file has copies that are not selected for extraction.
• Released the 64-bit version of Subdivision that can process even larger repositories!
• Fixed a bug where in some cases the intermediate parent folders warnings would not be shown. The parent folder warning is the warning icon with the downward facing blue arrow that tells the user that somewhere under this folder’s hierarchy exists a file with a warning.

Release Notes:

• Improved the responsiveness of the application to prevent it appearing unresponsive in long running operations.
• Improved the way the warning icons are calculated and displayed in all processing modes.
• Created a remove all user selections button in the Delete, Extract and Split modes
• Created two buttons in the Split mode that can select all files/folders to go to their respective repository
• Improved Subdivision to be able to handle and fix incorrect merge ranges encountered during processing
• Improved the update check browser error message when no internet is available
• Fixed a bug where the processing could fail when a file was replaced and then deleted and added again
• Fixed a bug where the processing could fail when selecting only the deleted file that is subsequently replaced
• Fixed a bug where the last revision could be missed out from processing when dropping empty revisions and renumbering, and we selected only one file from the last revision and this file was the last file added to the repository
• Fixed the sorting of the modifications in the History view
• Fixed a bug where the repository path was not accepted with a small case drive letter
• Removed two context menu items from the Split mode that were already disabled

Release Notes:

• Fixed a bug where the Merge ranges could in rare cases be updated wrongly. The merge ranges are updated when “Drop empty revisions and renumber” is selected and revisions before a particular merge range are removed. It is strongly advised to upgrade to Subdivision 1.3.0 to prevent the risk of creating output repositories/dump files with incorrect merge ranges.
• Added support for reading and writing of the latest svn repository format (svn 1.9.3)
• Since our users may not be ready to move to svn 1.9, we are now allowing the output of repositories at older svn file formats. Supported output versions are 1.6-1.7, 1.8 and 1.9. To use this feature you will need a recent installation of svn (1.8 or 1.9) to be in your PATH. Subdivision will look for svnadmin in the PATH and if it is found, the older version output format options will be enabled. We do advise however to use svn 1.9 if possible.
• Fixed a bug in the Delete mode where the “Delete folder assistant…” and the “Remove warning assistant” would sometimes fail to identify the required files that need to be added to the selection to delete the folder or remove the warning.
• Fixed a small bug where processing would fail if the input repository location accidentally included a new-line character.
• When using the “Delete folder assistant…” and the “Remove warning assistant”, the user can now double-click on the files to view these files in the tree.
• Other small fixes and minor improvements.
