Unicode support you've already run into, autoescape is another one, plus a year's worth of bug fixes and little improvements. They haven't been packaged into an official release because there are still some more backwards-incompatible improvements coming in (newforms-admin, maybe some of queryset-refactor) and the developers have decided it's better overall for users who go with official releases to have to make just one (bigger) step/conversion from 0.96 to 1.0 rather than a series of smaller ones. But a lot of people want the new functions sooner rather than later, so they run with an SVN checkout. Which is generally fine, since the Django trunk is usually quite stable. Backwards incompatible changes that are made are listed (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges) so that as people update their SVN checkouts they can make whatever changes might be necessary. > svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ in cmd.exe > returns an error > > PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/django/trunk' > I just tried that command and it works for me. Are you behind a corporate firewall? I've seen reports that they sometimes interfere with svn traffic, depending on how they are configured. The usual workaround is to use https:// instead of http:// but it doesn't seem that Django's repository is set up to support https://, so I'm not sure what to recommend if a corporate firewall is what is getting in the way, other than to try from somewhere else.
