It contains several known issues, a complete list of 1.7.0-blocking issues can be found here: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/buglist.cgi?component=subversion&issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED&target_milestone=1.7.0 The term 'alpha' means the Subversion developers feel that this release is ready for widespread testing by the community. There are known issues (and unknown ones!), so please use it at your own risk, though we do encourage people to test this release thoroughly. Of particular note, please remember than persistent data, such as the working copy or repository formats may change between the alpha and the final release, and there may not be an upgrade path from the pre-releases to the final. As a note to operating system distro packagers: while we wish to have this release candidate widely tested, we do not feel that it is ready for packaging and providing to end-users through a distro package system. Packaging a release candidate poses many problems, the biggest being that our policy lets us break compatibility between the release candidate and the final release, if we find something serious enough. Having many users depending on a release candidate through their distro would cause no end of pain and frustration that we do not want to have to deal with. However, if your distro has a branch that is clearly labeled as containing experimental and often broken software, and explicitly destined to consenting developers and integrators only, then we're okay with packaging the release candidate there. Just don't let it near the end users please.
