VisualSVN 8.1 Release Notes Date: November 3, 2022

VisualSVN 8.1 Release Notes
VisualSVN 8.1 improves support for the Open Folder mode, adds IPv6 support and has several fixes.

For the complete list of changes, see the VisualSVN 8.1.0 changelog.

You can download the latest VisualSVN 8.1 build from the official download page.

 

Better integration with the Open Folder (Folder View) mode
We improved how VisualSVN integrates with the Open Folder mode. Now all file and folder additions, renames and deletes are automatically tracked and recorded into the working copy.

As a separate enhancement, the auxiliary .svn folder is no longer displayed in this mode and is no longer searched, as this was cluttering the search results.

IPv6 support
VisualSVN 8.1 adds support for the IPv6 protocol. All the built-in VisualSVN features such as Add Solution to Subversion wizard and Commit Selection are now capable of communicating using IPv6. This makes it possible to use the VisualSVN plug-in on IPv6-only networks and with IPv6-dependent services such as Microsoft DirectAccess.
