I haven't tried using svnX with SVN 1.7.X but assuming it doesn't
work,
When will a version be released that supports SVN 1.7.X?

Thanks.

P.S. I had a hard time finding this discussion group and would
suggest that a more prominent link be added to the horizontal menu bar
on the projects main page: http://code.google.com/p/svnx/

Well here is a more directed Svnx 1.7.x question.
Using SvnX, How do I upgrade a 1.6.x working copy to a 1.7x format?

After installing Tortuous SVN 1.7.x on Windows it wouldn't let me use my old 1.6.x working copy until I upgraded it.
Perhaps that is why I thought SvnX doesn't support 1.7.x.

(This information applies to svnX 1.3.2 & the just released svnX
1.3.3.)
1. You tell svnX to use your Subversion 1.7 installation.
[Via the svnX > Preferences… menu command.]
2. You then open the working copy.
[Via svnX’s Working Copies window.]
3. If Subversion then reports that this is a v1.6 working copy then
svnX should ask if you want to upgrade it.
If you want to upgrade the WC to Subversion 1.7 then click the
“Upgrade…” button.
[Note: There is currently no way to downgrade a WC from Subversion 1.7
to 1.6.]

Each version of TortoiseSVN is tied to a particular version of
Subversion. (As it uses a built-in copy.)
SvnX does not contain a built-in copy of Subversion & is designed to
use (pretty much) any version/installation you like.
This allows you to ensure that svnX will use the identical Subversion
as your chosen CLI tools or Xcode etc.
or a custom version or independently updated version of your choice,
if & when you chose to upgrade.
