Since dotProject was first registered on SourceForge on 1st March 2001, we have used their CVS system for managing the code. Today we moved this across to Subversion (SVN).
There are a number of reasons behind the move and behind the timing. Since we are going to start on a major revamp of code we really need to make sure our tools are up to the task. Subversion offers a number of improvements over CVS, and most of the developers already use SVN for other projects, so the move makes sense there.
We hope that this doesn't cause anyone any issues, and we have altered the documentation to detail the new connection requirements.
The nightly snapshots will continue to be prepared and their structure and usage will not change.
In addition we now have a mailing list for commits to the code repository, so you can keep track of changes (if you are that way inclined).
