   0.6.0.

   We do not tag SQLObject releases.

   0.6.0. The "head" is in the trunk.

   Let's me increase the confusion a bit. There are also branches not
under the "branches/" URL! :)
   Now let's me decrease the confusion a bit. You can browse the entire
repository on the web: http://svn.colorstudy.com/ . There you can find
all software in the repository (not only SQLObject), and all branches.
Do not miss my inheritance branch at
   http://svn.colorstudy.com/home/phd/SQLObject/inheritance/ .

   Then use 0.5.3. It is much more "fixed" than any other. Ian and I
fixed a lot of bugs in the trunk in the would-be 0.6.2, but until 0.6.2
will really be released consider 0.6 as a development version.
