I'm sorry to ask, but the link given on that readme file says that, that board is not available on the forum.

Quote from what I read:

The contents of this directory have been removed from Subversion, per the explanation at
http://www.elvastowe...rom-subversion/

If you wish to stay up-to-date with Open Rails development versions, you have two choices:

* Weekly experimental releases from http://openrails.org/experimental.html
* Automatic builds from http://james-ross.co...jects/or/builds

Both of the above options include a built-in updater which will alert you
whenever a new version of that particular release is available and allow you
to update to it with just two clicks (one to accept the update and one to
restart Open Rails).

If you have any unanswered questions, please use the forum thread above.

Thanks.

Can you please explain why, then? Thank you.

It serves no purpose any more now that we have automatic builds of every version which update automatically (with two clicks).

Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback, James. I must be honest as I enjoyed to see through SVN what were the "news" in the new updates.

But that was very uncomfortable for the developers (at least for me).

You can do "Update to revision" from TortoiseSVN to update your copy to any older revision.

For those of you were a bit surprised by all this, you may want to return to this page:

"http://www.openrails.org/source.html"

You will have to redo any repository connections in your SVN program to get the history that you would like to see. I did, and things are more or less back to normal for seeing what the latest compiled updates have changed.

It was an accident that the linked forum thread was in the private forum; I have updated the readme with further details and linked to a a new news/announcement thread which I hope should cover everything. Sorry for the (hopefully temporary) confusion.

Yes James, it is all clear now. Sorry for my confusion as well related to the removal of files and "disuse" of SVN.
