After pulling 1.6.7 due to a segfault regression, we've rerolled the branch as 
Subversion 1.6.8.  The magic revision is r898464, and you can find the tarballs 
here:

http://orac.ece.utexas.edu/pub/svn/1.6.8/

Please be sure to test the bindings.

You know the drill: signatures from full committers back to me, and 
enthusiastic tester feedback is welcome. At this point, this candidate is not 
yet blessed for wide release, so please don't make it available to people not 
interested in test-driving the new release.

Distro package maintainers, please do NOT include any pre-release builds, even 
blessed, into operating system distros.  The reasons for not doing so were very 
eloquently outlined by Karl in a mail, which is summarized at the above address.

The quick version is: we don't guarantee compatibility between the pre-releases 
and the final release, so if people install the release candidate, all their 
repositories and working copies might break irreparably when they upgrade to 
1.6.8 proper.   We don't want that kind of bad publicity, and neither do you.
