Hi all, I think the new authz implementation is ready to be merged to /trunk and plan to merge it on 1/1/17. Until then, only two discrepancies with /trunk behavior need to be fixed (registry support and one precedence issue), see also BRANCH-README. I already have the code available and only need to brush it up and commit it.
The main benefits of the new code are: * Support for wildcard rules * Memory and runtime efficiency * Extensibility, i.e. more rights may easily be added More info can be found here: https://wiki.apache.org/subversion/AuthzImprovements Adding more access rights, like e.g. traversal rights, is something we could easily implement on /trunk but may want to postpone past 1.10 anyway. So, there is no need to clear the TODO before merging. -- Stefan^2.
