Stable svn releases?

Hi. I have a number of blogs that I want to be able to update on a regular basis via svn. Do you have stable svn releases? Because it seems that the version I can get under svn seems often to be in testing or alpha stages.
Thanks

I believe if you grab a "branch" rather than "trunk" you will get the current stable (rather than current development)...

For example: svn://svn.berlios.de/serendipity/branches/1.1
grabs 1.1.3 for me.

And, after looking at it, it seems that 1.1.2 is the most recent stable release...
*sigh*

I would bet that branches are more stable than trunk. It looks like the last update made to branch 1.1 was made on April 1st...

Basically, once 1.1 was released the trunk became 1.2 (1.2-alpha3 currently), and the 1.1 branch became a place for backports.

But Garvin probably would have a better answer on what you want to use.

Hi!

Actually most of the time our SVN alphas are pretty solid. If not, it's announced on the NEWS/Changelog file, so you should probably read them from time to time. I update my own blog from SVN trunk most of the time.

As Matthew indicated, we have the 1.1 branch, but that one is already quite old. We don't branch "interim" alpha releases, because that would be too much maintenance overhead.

HTH,
Garvin
