How about 1.6.1 - at work, on windows, I always have the latest slik-svn and tortoissvn with easy popup update notification. Now I have upgraded to 1.6.1 all my repos and can't use them on linux any more...
But 1.6.1 is so cool - it can pack every "slice" (usually 1000 revisions) of a repo into just one optimised file with the svnadmin pack command. And its _WAY_ faster because they keep a lot of stuff no more in XML format, so says the subversion book... If git were not behind also, svn for the main repo and git-svn for an offline copy would be fine.
OK - there's also bazaar and mercural and ... but still, svn is enough for most scenarios and I would like to work with the most recent version to profit from innovation - if it were in jaunty proposed that would be enough OR some info how to get a ppa for .debs...
