Hi,

I have few questions regarding the product:

Does TortoiseSVN use C++ Redistributables? If yes, what TortoiseSVN versions use the newest Visual C++ Redistributable releases (2015-2019)?

Is there any official reference online that I can refer to regarding the above information?

I wonder why you would need this information?

But anyway: TSVN uses the latest c-runtime, but does not install the c-runtime itself. It ships the required dlls in a subfolder, usually c:\program files\TortoiseSVN\bin

Hi Stefan,

Thank You, for your response.

Is there a link somewhere on httpss://tortoisesvn.net/ that references the above information?

We need this information as we found a security issue has been identified that is built with Visual Studio 2010.

Thank You. Regards.

No, there's nothing on the web page about this, because users usually don't require such info.

Also, VS2010 is way too old to be used today... - TSVN is always built with the latest VS version.

Thank you very much for the information.

The reason we are asking the above information is we are trying to figure out which versions of TSVN are no longer valid due to the EOL (and security issues) with the redistributable VS binaries. It would be helpful if you could provide more information on that.

We have quite a lot of TSVN versions in our environment:

1.9.7.27907
1.10
1.11
1.11.28492
1.13.1.28686
1.13.28686

Please confirm if any of the above versions are built with VS2010(or earlier).

Hi Krishna!

You could check the mfc*.dll files of 1.9.7 yourself for their version and what VS version is associated with it.

Or upgrade all to 1.14 along the way, which ships with dlls that are from “VS2015 or newer”, if I interpret their version and my google search correctly?

For a company that ships its own svn binaries, I am surprised you ask on a mailing list instead of looking at the files.

Seriously? You know what versions are LTS and still supported and which ones are not?

https://subversion.apache.org/roadmap.html#release-planning

So if you really have a 1.9 version lying around, I think it's safe to say no matter what version of VS it was built with that it is NOT safe to use it!

The same applies to the 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13 versions.

Currently, the only supported versions are the latest of 1.10 (which is 1.10.5) and 1.14 (which is 1.14.1).
