Users who build DarkRadiant from source should be aware that the source code is now being hosted on Github rather than SourceForge SVN. See the Source code page for information about setting up Git and accessing the repository.
The existing SourceForge SVN repository will remain available and will continue to host the dependencies directories for building on Windows, however the SVN trunk will no longer be updated with changes to the DarkRadiant application.
