Editing Apache Subversion (section)

==Development and implementation==
[[CollabNet]] has continued its involvement with Subversion, but the project runs as an independent open source community. In November 2009, the project was accepted into the Apache Incubator, aiming to become part of the [[Apache Software Foundation]]'s efforts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Subversion Submitted to Become a Project at The Apache Software Foundation |url=https://apache.org/foundation/press/pr_2009_11_04.html |date=November 4, 2009 |access-date=October 1, 2019}}</ref> Since March 2010, the project is formally known as Apache Subversion, being a part of the Apache Top-Level Projects.<ref name=CollabNetPR2010>{{cite web|title=CollabNet Supports Subversion's Graduation to Apache Top-Level Project|url=http://www.open.collab.net/news/press/2010/apache.html|publisher=CollabNet|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100311192650/http://www.open.collab.net/news/press/2010/apache.html|archive-date=2010-03-11|date=1 March 2010}}</ref>

In October 2009, [[WANdisco]] announced the hiring of core Subversion committers as the company moved to become a major corporate sponsor of the project. This included Hyrum Wright, president of the Subversion Corporation and release manager for the Subversion project since early 2008, who joined the company to lead its open source team.<ref>{{Cite news |title= WANdisco Names Hyrum Wright to Lead Subversion Open Source Efforts |date= January 7, 2010 |work= News release |author= WANdisco |publisher= Open Source magazine |url= http://opensource.sys-con.com/node/1239202 |access-date= October 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118161238/http://opensource.sys-con.com/node/1239202 |archive-date=2012-01-18 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The Subversion open-source community does not provide binaries, but potential users can download binaries from volunteers.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Apache Subversion Binary Packages |work= Official project website |url= https://subversion.apache.org/packages.html |access-date= October 29, 2011 }}</ref> While the Subversion project does not include an official [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) for use with Subversion, third parties have developed a number of different GUIs, along with a wide variety of additional ancillary software.

Work announced in 2009 included SubversionJ (a [[Java API]]) and implementation of the Obliterate command, similar to that provided by [[Perforce]]. Both of these enhancements were sponsored by WANdisco.<ref>{{Cite news|title=WANdisco Presents New Initiatives for the Subversion Open Source Project |author=WANdisco |publisher=CM Crossroads |work=News release |date=October 28, 2009 |url=http://www.cmcrossroads.com/index.php?Itemid=100152&catid=101:news-and-announcements&id=13065:wandisco-presents-new-initiatives-for-the-subversion-open-source-project-&option=com_content&view=article |access-date=October 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111118040455/http://www.cmcrossroads.com/index.php?Itemid=100152&catid=101%3Anews-and-announcements&id=13065%3Awandisco-presents-new-initiatives-for-the-subversion-open-source-project-&option=com_content&view=article |archive-date=2011-11-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Subversion committers normally have at least one or two new features under active development at any one time. The 1.7 release of Subversion in October 2011 included a streamlined HTTP transport to improve performance and a rewritten working-copy library.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Apache Subversion Roadmap |work= Official project website |url= https://subversion.apache.org/roadmap.html |access-date= October 29, 2011 }}</ref>

In 2002, [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/svn-logos/README.html a design contest] was held to select the logo for Subversion. The original entries can be found [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/svn-logos/entries.html here] as well as the [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/svn-logos/VOTES votes] for each logo.
