Highlights

Artifact ID	Description
Security improvements	In October 2014, CollabNet received a disclosure from security consultant Oliver-Tobias Ripka of several possible security vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. We have implemented fixes and enhancements based on those suggestion and you can see them noted in the detailed list here. Several of these improvements change previous default behaviors of the application. After upgrading SVN Edge to this release, you may want to review the new security.conf file in the SVN Edge data/conf folder. This file contains a number of settings you can now tweak. You will have to restart the SVN Edge console after changing any settings in this file.

artf11152	Backup and restore database Starting with Subversion Edge 5.0, a backup snapshot of the console application's database is taken periodically. You will find it in the data directory where database files are normally found. Its name will be of the form: csvn-backup-hsqldb-<hash>.tar.gz. For more information, see Restoring corrupted database.
artf11151	Support for Java 6 and 8 Subversion Edge 5.0 is tested for compatibility with Java 8 and Java 6.
