On Monday, the Subversion project is scheduled to release version 1.0 of their version control system, under development for several years now. Subversion was intended from its inception as the CVS replacement and it comes with many important features previously found only on commercial VCS like Perforce. It was designed for better remote performance, and it is multi-platform with a GUI/CLI front-end.

I've been using Subversion successfully for about a month (http://svn.pdtp.org). Unlike CVS, Subversion is actually sane. You can *gasp* delete directories from the repository! You can rename/move files within the repository without losing versioning (possible but highly cumbersome in CVS). Branching makes sense. It still lacks some of the features of Perforce/BitKeeper but overall quite nice.
