Version	Revision	Date	Binary (tar.gz)	BASE Version*

* In general, each release works with the specified and later BASE versions, except that releases for BASE 2 do not work with BASE 3.

Source code can be downloaded from the subversion repository. Use the following command to get source code for the 1.0 version:

svn co http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.hdfs/tags/1.0 hdfs-1.0

The latest development (maybe unstable; do not use on a production server) revision can be checked out from the repository using the following command:

svn co http://baseplugins.thep.lu.se/svn/extensions/net.sf.basedb.hdfs/trunk hdfs-dev

Contribute

After making modifications to the source code, compose a clear and concise log message to describe those changes and the reasons for them. Then, send an email to the developers list containing your log message and the output of svn diff (from the top of your subversion working copy). If the community members consider your changes acceptable, someone who has commit privileges will add your changes to the public source code tree. Recall that permission to directly commit changes to the repository is granted on merit - if you demonstrate comprehension of subversion, programming competency, and a team spirit, you will likely be awarded that permission.
