Subdivision 1.2.0 Released

Smarter and faster processing. Subdivision now intelligently reads only the required revisions from the input repository or dump file. This means that when extracting a small number of files, the time savings can be tremendous especially when processing multi-gigabyte repositories. To enable this feature, please select the “Drop empty revisions and renumber” output option
Loading of the file structure from a dump file is now dramatically faster
Subdivision can now optionally drop any existing empty revisions that may exist in the input repository
The history view can now optionally show the modification in a file. Previously it was displaying only the additions, moves, copies and deletions
Introduced processing dialogs for some long running operations to prevent the application from appearing frozen and unresponsive
Open Recent Project table has been reworked to show the project type, input type and data location
Fixed a bug where the Open Recent Project table was not always updating the display order
Fixed the Update checker to show the correct software update location (prod version)
Fixed a bug that could cause the processing to fail at the end of the operation
Update SVN libraries to version 1.8.15
Various other small tweaks and fixes

Fixed a bug where the Subdivision Demo would crash when processing an older format repository (svn version 1.5 or earlier)
The tree expand button can now expand a configurable number of levels of tree hierarchy.

Fixed a bug that prevented the successful completion of the initial data loading. This was because of a particular scenario in the repository not being handled properly

This release packs some impressive memory and computing optimizations to allow Subdivision to work with repositories or dump files containing millions of files and hundreds of thousands of revisions.
Improvements in memory management means that we can now load repositories with multiple millions of files in the 32-bit memory space
Improved the initial loading algorithms by eliminating a time consuming step that could take multiple minutes to complete when loading large repositories.
Improved the way the user selections are stored in the project files to fix an extremely rare case that could result in the wrong files being selected at loading
Fixed a bug where memory would not be freed properly when a project was closed
Fixed the logging levels to reduce the size of log files
Fixed the sorting of Copies in the Details view
Now showing 10 recent projects rather than 5
Various other small bug-fixes and user interface improvements

Fixed a bug that could prevent Subdivision from starting up
Fixed a bug where processing the repository could fail on repositories with log messages containing special characters
Added a diagnostics collection process for the cases where the unthinkable happens. So when an error occurs, the user is presented with the diagnostics report and given the option to send it to us so we can address the problem
Various small bug-fixes

Proudly presenting Subdivision to the world!
Subdivision is the first intelligent subversion repository manipulation tool on the market
Makes it trivially easy to:
- Delete (or if you prefer, obliterate) files and folders from a Subversion repository history
- Extract files and folders from a Subversion repository preserving all relevant history
- Split a Subversion repository in two parts while preserving all history
Subdivision uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze the file copy/move history and identify all files required in addition to your selection so that the operation succeeds on the first pass. No more cryptic errors from svndumpfilter such as “E200003: Invalid copy source path” or “E160013: File not found”
Subdivision offers unprecedented insight into your repository by showing the deleted files in the tree. Also shows extra information about a file such as the original addition, the copies made to a file as well as the file’s history in the Details and History panels.
User selections are augmented immediately in the same tree
Works directly on a repository or on an svn dump file
Outputs a new repository or dump file
Works in scenarios that are impossible to achieve using svndumpfilter
