We are happy to announce the release of VisualSVN Server 4.1 with the following
main enhancements:
-
Pack Repository background job. This new scheduled background job
allows to
pack repositories
on a regular basis. Packing reduces the number of files on disk and
therefore reduces storage and maintenance overhead. For further information
and configuration instructions please consider the article
Getting started with Pack Repository Jobs
-
Side-by-side diff for images in the web interface. New side-by-side
diff for images in the web interface makes it possible to preview image
differences in the web browser.
-
TLS 1.3 protocol support. TLS 1.3 is the most recent version of the
HTTP encryption protocol that provides enhanced security, performance and
privacy compared to the previous versions. VisualSVN Server now fully
supports this version of the protocol and enables it by default. Note that
TLS 1.3 will be actually used only if it is supported by the client.
-
New Enterprise Multinode license. The new license type is suitable
for multisite VisualSVN Server deployments. If you use the
Multisite Repository Replication
feature and have several VisualSVN Server instances connected within a
single distributed VDFS cluster, you can now purchase a single Enterprise
Multinode license and use it on all these server instances. This option
is cost-effective, and it also simplifies deployment and licensing-related
maintenance tasks.
For the complete list of changes, see the
VisualSVN Server 4.1.0 changelog.
Upgrade to VisualSVN Server 4.1 is recommended for all users. Upgrade is
easy and straightforward, but we strongly advise reading the
KB152: Upgrading to VisualSVN Server 4.1
article beforehand (especially if you are upgrading from VisualSVN Server 3.9 or older
versions).
Download VisualSVN Server 4.1 from the main
download page.
Updates to PowerShell Cmdlets
The new release adds a capability to deploy and manage the
Repository Management Delegation
feature via PowerShell and deprecates two existing cmdlets.
For the complete list of PowerShell cmdlets available in VisualSVN Server
4.1, see the KB88: VisualSVN Server PowerShell Cmdlet Reference.
