Download Tortoisesvn 1.5.2

The Tortoisesv team released version 1.5.2 of Tortoisesvn just under a week ago. Tortoisesvn is an open source Subversion client and is intended for version control. Versioning is especially useful, if not indispensable, when multiple developers are working on a project. The program integrates itself as a shell extension into Windows and can be used on its own or in combination with an ide. Version 1.5.2 was released only a few days after version 1.5.1, as the svn library from that version was found to contain a serious bug. Below is the changelog for both versions:

Changes in version 1.5.2

• BUG: the “SVN Copy and Add” right-drag menu was not shown.
• BUG: Editing a conflict during a merge resulted in a crash. Note: this is only a workaround for a bug in the svn library which won’t work in all situations.
• BUG: Log cache CSV export: fix record line endings.
• BUG: Log cache CSV export: user revprops list incomplete.
• BUG: The “save revision to…” context menu in the log dialog was shown even if multiple revisions were selected.

Changes in version 1.5.1

• CHG: The saslDIGESTMD5.dll has now encryption enabled.
• CHG: TortoiseProc now allows relative paths too.

• BUG: Bogus revision graph for WC paths that have not been changed in the respective branch.
• BUG: Accessing repositories on UNC paths with file:// did not work if the UNC path had spaces or special chars in it.
• BUG: If a bugtraq:logregex property was set, entering a log message could take up all CPU and block the application for seconds.
• BUG: After removing a versioned directory and recreating a new unversioned one in the same place with the same name, the overlays could still be shown on that (now) unversioned folder.
• BUG: In interactive merge conflict resolution, the extension-based merge tool was not used but always the default merge tool.
• BUG: The suggestion popup in the commit dialog could be shown on the wrong monitor in multi-monitor setups.
• BUG: TortoisePlink did not authenticate correctly, which lead to TortoiseSVN hanging when accessing svn+ssh:// repositories.
• BUG: TSVNCache could end up in an endless loop and use all CPU if a working copy was placed in a root path, eg, C:\
• BUG: Crash when closing multiple log dialogs at once.
• BUG: Crash when updating/merging which resulted in a conflict.
• BUG: Changing the font for TortoiseBlame in the settings dialog did not work.

• BUG: web viewer: properties were added on files too.
• BUG: When renaming a folder in the repository browser tree view, the folder which was selected was renamed instead of the one which was right-clicked on.

• BUG: Moving files to the “ignore-on-commit” changelist would leave them checked for commit.
• BUG: TortoiseBlame didn’t work if the merge paths had spaces.
• BUG: Running a merge only for testing with an empty revision range did not set the range correctly.
• BUG: The merge info text was off by one revision.
• BUG: Pressing Enter in the log dialog would close the dialog, even if the focus was in the filter edit box.
• BUG: the merge tool for a specific file extension was not used if the file to merge had an svn:mime-type set.
• BUG: in the CfM dialog, both context menu entries “compare with BASE” and “compare with working copy” did the same.
