Holidays are over and it was time to improve some functions of the application. Here is a short changelog of 1.5.1:

Repository browsing
On Unix and some Windows systems the repository browsing functionality didn’t work as wanted. Now everything works on both systems.

Basic authentication fixes
The Apache server on Windows couldn’t authenticate against passwords created by iF.SVNAdmin. Now all possible hash formats are supported (SHA1, MD5-APR1, CRYPT). It is also possible to define a custom default hash format in the “include/config.inc.php”.

GUI improvements
It is possible to assign users to groups on the user-view and group-view page.

You can get the latest version from Sourceforge download page.

This weekend I was told that there was a bug in the BASIC authentication module of iF.SVNAdmin. The handling of the “passwd” file is buggy.

You may only run into this problem if you already have users defined with the Apache “htpasswd” program on Windows systems. It seems like the web application can not authenticate against password hashes which are created with this program. I will develop a quick fix today and make it available in the evening.

Update:
The repository browser is also bugged (Unix only). Tomorrow i will release a new version which contains the fixes for the two bugs.
