RTSS from SVN

Introduction
SVN (Subversion) is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code tree.
The RTSS development team uses SVN to safely coordinate and track RTSS source code changes. Day-to-day changes (e.g. new features and bugfixes) are committed to the mainline of development --the trunk, and when developers think the software is ready for a minor release, then the trunk is copied to a release branch. Release branches are named using the following convention: rel-M.m.x, where
- rel indicates a release branch.
- M is the major version.
- m is the minor version.
- x stands for "any revision number".
New work is continued on the trunk, while rigorous testing of the release branch is carried out: if bugs are discovered in either location, fixes are ported back and forth as necessary.
The key point is that release branches are maintained over time. Therefore, users who always want to have the latest fixes and who can't wait for the next revision release can check out the whole release branch. However, users should be aware that they have to compile the source code in the release branch by themselves and that code can't be considered as stable as a regular revision release.
In addition, please note that:
- In order to access a SVN repository, users must install a special piece of software called a SVN client. SVN clients are available for most any operating system. Information about SVN client software may be found in the SourceForge.net's document titled Recommended User Software Configuration.
- SVN is a complex tool. RTSS development team can't provide assistance with its use. For further information please refer to the SourceForge.net's SVN Documentation.
- Code received from SVN repository of RTSS is a "work in progress".
