San Ramon, CA October 20, 2010 — WANdisco, the makers of Enterprise Subversion with active core developers from the project on staff, today announced that is has made WANdisco certified Subversion 1.6.13 binaries available for free download at: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/os/downloads. WANdisco's Certified Subversion Binaries provide a complete, fully tested version of Subversion based on the most recent stable release, including the latest fixes. In addition, with this latest release, SuSe Linux 11 Enterprise has been added to the most comprehensive list of supported platforms.
This software has undergone the same rigorous quality assurance process that WANdisco uses for its Enterprise products that support the world's largest Subversion deployments with over 40,000 users, 2,500 repositories and 18 million transactions per day in a single implementation.
Once again, WANdisco has been able to make the latest certified binaries available for immediate download thanks to the company's investment in the Subversion project and its core team of dedicated Subversion developers. The team is led by Hyrum Wright, WANdisco's Director of Open Source. Hyrum has also served as the release manager for Subversion since early 2008.
Pure Subversion Software Integrates Easily Without any Vendor Lock in Tricks.
WANdisco doesn't pollute Subversion with any other software that users don't really need. WANdisco's pure Subversion binaries are only 6MB versus the massive 80MB packages of some vendors. Don't be fooled - if you want pure Subversion then WANdisco has the most comprehensive set of pure Subversion binaries available for free download.
Users aren't forced down the path of using proprietary defect trackers or any other software that they're not currently using with Subversion. WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries can be easily integrated with any other open source or closed source software that can be integrated with Subversion. Customers that combine a WANdisco Subversion support contract with WANdisco's certified Subversion binaries have the added benefit of automated access to the latest fixes and updates.

WANdisco also recently announced that the profits from the sale of its Subversion support contracts go directly toward the hiring of additional Subversion committers and supporting the activities of the community. Due to the success of its Subversion support services offerings, WANdisco has been able to hire senior Subversion committers such as Hyrum Wright, Julian Foad, Phillip Martin, Stefan Kung, Erik Huelsmann and others who have come on board recently.
