And nothing changed so far.

To update windows installer there is should be clear information about required version numbers.

I think this is Jelmer responsibility to send regularly release announces to bazaar-announce at
least about availability of new versions of both bzr-svn and subvertpy. Because those who build
windows installer generalle don't follow bzr-svn development close enough to know everything.

Jelmer, is it possible to have regular announces with comments about compatibility between all 3
products: bzr, bzr-svn, subvertpy?
