Hi Stephen Thanks very much for your explanation. That is very clear.
Do you know what happens when one upgrades from 1.39 to 1.45? If one was using a svn command line client, the client would warn you that the working copy needs upgrading and one could run 'svn upgrade' on it. What would be the procedure for Jenkins working copies? Should I upgrade each working copy manually from the command line or else the Jenkins jobs will fail?

I don't know what the story is with whether OSS is going to bundle the newer subversion plugin or not. I do know that the license is such that we cannot bundle it within Jenkins Enterprise though, so we have to leave it up to customers to download and install the plugin themselves. There is nothing preventing you from upgrading the Subversion plugin to the latest on any version of Jenkins that is compatible with the latest version of the Subversion plugin. In other words, as long as you are on Jenkins 1.466 or newer, you can upgrade that Jenkins to 1.45 of the Subversion plugin and that works with Subversion 1.7. Out of the box (as it were) Jenkins OSS comes with a version of the Subversion plugin that uses the Subversion 1.6 client protocol, so it can check out and commit from/to 1.7 subversion servers but it cannot use 1.7 working copies.

It appears that Subversion 1.7 support was introduced into the Subversion plugin in May 2012, not Jan 2013. That was well before the Nov 2012 release of the most recent long term support release, Jenkins 1.480.1. As far as I can tell, the current Jenkins LTS, 1.480.3, already supports Subversion 1.7.

I think that suggests Subversion 1.7 support will be included in Jenkins 1.509.1. If you'd like suggestions on a fast way to install and configure a test Jenkins on your own desktop Windows machine, I made a screencast called "Jenkins in 5 minutes" that might be helpful. Refer to http://bit.ly/jenkins-in-five-minutes for the screencast. The screencast is only 5 minutes. That 5 minutes includes downloading Jenkins, starting Jenkins, configuring a Subversion based Jenkins job, and running that Subversion based Jenkins job successfully.

It would require quite a lot of work to set up a test instance of Jenkins and to test the Subversion plugin with the new LTS. I'm sorry, but we don't have the resources to do that currently. Thanks for your hard work in contributing to the LTS releases.

I created that link based on the contents of the previous LTS release page (1.480.x RC Testing). I did not intend to make it a statement of what features were included or not included in the 1.509.x LTS release. Would you be willing to download the 1.509.1 LTS release candidate, perform some Subversion 1.7 specific testing, and note the results of that testing on the Wiki page? That would answer your question, assist with the LTS testing, and help the Jenkins user community.

Hi I was hoping that the next Jenkins LTS release will use a Subversion v.1.7 compatible svn plugin, but this link suggests that it will still use a v.1.6 compatible version: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LTS+1.509.x+RC+Testing<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LTS+1.480.x+RC+Testing> Does anyone have any comment please?
