TortoiseSVN 1.6.11 has been released.

This is a bugfix release/maintenance release, still linked with Subversion 1.6.13.

We recommend that you update your TortoiseSVN client to this latest version. You can get it from our download page.

Also note that if you upgrade from a version before 1.6.10, you have to run a repair install after the upgrade. To do that, run the installer again and click the "Repair" button. I'm sorry about the inconvenience.

If you want to know why the repair install is required, you can read about the technical details in my earlier post.

Some of our users might know that we have been accepting donations to support us in developing TortoiseSVN for a few years now. We used PayPal to achieve this, as do many other open source projects and even some closed source but free-of-cost projects.

Even the biggest hoster of open source projects, sourceforge.net, has a special feature built into their project pages where every project can activate such "donate" buttons, and that too is handled by PayPal.

Now imagine my surprise when I got an email from PayPal last Wednesday with the subject "PayPal appeal denied".

We need people that help to finish translating the documentation of TortoiseSVN. The following languages haven't been updated for a while, which means the previous translator doesn't have the time to work on TortoiseSVN at the moment.

Indonesian (52% complete)
Croatian (67% complete, only TortoiseMerge)
Slovak (30% complete)
Slovenian (80% complete)

Just send an e-mail to translators@tortoisesvn.tigris.org and introduce yourself. We'll help to get you started. Professional translators please be aware that this is an open source project and that there will be no payment for translation work.
