IMPORTANT: Subversion repository changes
This has been discussed for a while, but there are going to be some major SVN repository changes for all users. As you know, we have released 0.5.0, yet our repository is still called “data4.x”!
A “4.x” is terribly confusing, so I have moved the repository from “data4.x” to “data”. Oh great, you are probably thinking, now I have to wait for another Gigabyte of Vega Strike data to download. Well it turns out that luckily for you, SVN will not require you to waste bandwidth if you follow certain steps that I’ll outline below, and document in more detail on the Wiki.
Also, we are making one other change as well that will help users of all platforms download the necessary files… we will make a “win32″ and a “mac” folder that you can download and have a working application.
See the Wiki for more information on how to convert an existing repository:

In addition to that. I’ve made some modifications to the in-tree boost. We now are going to pull the boost repositories externally. This has many benefits. One such benefit is that users and developers alike, can choose to not download any in-tree boost dirs by disabling external repositories. You can then tune autoconf to use the system boost. Or you can update a single boost revision after pulling with externals disabled, you can svn update boost/1_xx and it’ll pull the external just for that revision.
You’ll also notice that 1.35 was added. Testing with that version is encouraged just as testing with python 2.5 is.
