sventon

It’s here! The first official build of sventon, a Subversion web GUI application written in Java for browsing SVN repositories. It’s still to be regarded as a beta release that needs more work and testing. But this first release has most features expected from a tool like this, and a few extra unexpected ones. If you have a Subversion server repository you’d like to easily browse using a web browser, please try it out! All you need is Java 5 and a compliant servlet container, such as Tomcat 5.5.

One thing that really bothers us is reading long installation manuals with close to a billion steps that need to be completed in order to get software running, so we spent quite some time on making the installation as easy as possible. Please let us know whether we succeeded or not.

If you decide to give it a try, please give us feedback on your experiences and new feature requests through http://sventon.berlios.de.

Many thanks to Alexander Kitaev for providing the JavaSVN library that sventon relies on for Subversion interaction.
