Subversion 1.5.5 was officially released on Monday 22nd December 2008.
Subversion has been recognised by Forrester as the sole leader in SCM (Software Configuration Management). This is becoming even more important in the current financial climate as budgets become reduced and alternative solutions are sought. In 2009 Clearvision will launch a range of out-of-the-box Open Source and commercial open source CM solutions for companies who can no longer justify the high annual maintenance of vendor SCCM solutions.
