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 both at work and on my personal server for several months now, and will never look back at CVS again. Atomic commits are a big plus, as is the ability to rename files while keeping the versioning.
Another key advantage: it runs just as well under Windows as Linux/UNIX operating systems. Yeah, you can run CVS under Windows, but CVS was really designed with UNIX file systems in mind. And the TortoiseSVN client for Windows Explorer just rocks.
