+<p>Deltas transferred between Subversion 1.10 clients and servers may be
+compressed with LZ4. The actual choice of the compression algorithm depends
+on the used protocol, environment and its configuration — see below.</p>
+
+<p>For <b>http://</b> protocol, use of LZ4 compression depends on the values
+of the server-side <tt>SVNCompressionLevel</tt> directive, client-side
+<tt>http-compression</tt> configuration option and on the network
+capabilities. LZ4 compression generally offers much faster compression
+and decompression speeds, but slightly worse compression ratio than zlib.
+By default, it is only preferred for low latency networks where the
+overhead associated with transferring the additional amount of data is
+assumed to be negligible.<p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>On the <b>server-side</b>, <tt>SVNCompressionLevel 0</tt>
+ can be used to disable compression altogether. The special value of
+ <tt>SVNCompressionLevel 1</tt> forces the use of LZ4 compression for
+ clients that support it. All other values result in preferring zlib
+ compression with the respective compression level. Note that the
+ negotiated algorithm is still subject to the client's configuration.
+ For example, even if the server is configured to prefer zlib compression
+ over LZ4, a client may still negotiate the use of LZ4 compression when
+ its <tt>http-compression</tt> option is set to <tt>auto</tt>.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <p>On the <b>client-side</b>, setting <tt>http-compression</tt> to
+ either <tt>yes</tt> or <tt>no</tt> will enable or disable compression
+ that is then negotiated based on the server's configuration.
+ The default value of <tt>auto</tt> will result in preferring LZ4
+ compression for low latency networks and zlib compression otherwise.</p>
+ </li>
+</ul>

+<p>The Subversion 1.9.x line is now the old stable version. This means
+that 1.9.x will still receive security relevant fixes as well as
+bugfixes. While we will evaluate any bugreport with regards to its
+severity, there might be issues with a lower severity which will
+only get fixed in 1.10.x, particularly if the patches would be invasive,
+destabilizing, and/or require a significant investment to get backported to the
+old stable version.</p>
+
+<p>Therefore, if you are running into an issue with the old stable
+version which has already been fixed in the latest version, we might
+ask you to upgrade to that version to resolve the issue.</p>
