 It's perfectly fine to go on using Trac without it, but then of course the interface will remain in English.

+==== Authz permission checking ==== #Authz
+
+Permission checking using an [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html authz]-type file has been moved from an `Authorizer` instance used by `SubversionRepository` to a fine-grained permission policy `AuthzSourcePolicy` defined in [source:trunk/trac/versioncontrol/svn_authz.py@9125#L112 svn_authz.py]. This allows using authz files not only for Subversion repositories, but also for other repository types.
+
+Consequently, the `Authorizer`, `PermissionDenied` and `RealSubversionAuthorizer` classes as well as the `SubversionAuthorizer` function have been removed.
+
+See #7116 for details.

-The `authz` argument has been removed from the `Repository` constructor, and authorization processing has been moved to fine-grained permissions, in the optional `AuthzSourcePolicy` component defined in [source:trunk/trac/versioncontrol/svn_authz.py@9125#L112 svn_authz.py].
+Due to the [#Authz authz] changes above, the `authz` argument has been removed from the `Repository` constructor.
 
 Conversely, a new argument `params` has been added to the `Repository` constructor. `params` is a dictionary containing various parameters for the repository, and is stored as a `.params` attribute in `Repository`. The value for the key `"name"` is the repository name (available as `.reponame`) as displayed in the source browser. The value for the key `"id"` (available as `.id`) is the surrogate key identifying the repository in the database.

 See #7116 for details on the `authz` argument, and #8731 for the `params` argument.

 The `Repository` instance to which a node belongs is now passed as an additional `repos` argument to the `Node` constructor, and stored in the `.repos` attribute. This argument must be forwarded by `Node` subclasses (typically in plugins implementing version control backends).
