Hi Jenny,
This page does only offer installer builds up to version 1.3 Stable. The current version of SVN is 1.4.3. It is advisable to use it because of this [quote from the release Page]:
So are there any binaries for 1.4 available anywhere, for those of us that don't want for one reason or another to use MacPorts / compile from source?
I wonder what happens with the bundle repository. I am actually still on 1.2.3 and can access it just fine, which means, if I understood the note correctly, that it is not 1.4. On the other hand this also means that any of the 100> committers would have to also use older clients, otherwise one of them would have changed the repository. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Working Copy and Repository Format Changes
Due to certain improvements and bugfixes made to the working copy library, the version number of the working copy format has been incremented. This means that Subversion clients earlier than 1.4 will not be able to work with working copies produced by Subversion 1.4. Similarly, the repository format has changed as well, meaning that pre-1.4 Subversion tools that normally access a repository directly (e.g. svnserve, mod_dav_svn, svnadmin) won't be able to read a repository originally created by Subversion 1.4.
WARNING: if a Subversion 1.4 client encounters a pre-1.4 working copy, it will automatically upgrade the working copy format as soon as it touches it, making it unreadable by older Subversion clients. If you are using several versions of Subversion on your machine, you need to be careful about which version you use in which working copy, to avoid accidentally upgrading the working copy format. This "auto upgrade" feature, however, does not occur with the new repository format.
To avoid any problems with this behaviour, new Users should always use at least 1.4.
Greetings Florian
