libapache2-mod-svn (1.8.5-1) unstable; urgency=low Prior to Subversion 1.8, hook scripts run on a mod_dav_svn-based Subversion server had problems with non-ASCII input and output because Apache HTTPD modules always run in the "C" locale. Subversion 1.8 addresses these problems with a new SVNUseUTF8 option for mod_dav_svn. If this option is set, mod_dav_svn assumes that all hook script input/output is encoded in UTF-8. If this option is set, hook scripts must write error messages to stderr in UTF-8. Hook scripts should use a UTF-8 locale if the SVNUseUTF8 option is active, which can be configured in the new hooks-env configuration file. -- James McCoy Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:33:40 -0500
