The fixes in ra_serf are independent of those in serf, so you don't need to wait. Although I haven't discussed this on serf-dev yet, I assume we want to do a serf release before svn 1.8.1. If we can prepare a branch later this week, I hope that the CN and WD guys can test svn with the NTLM, ssltunnel and other fixes before we release svn 1.8.1. Lieven
