bzr-svn should work with all non-ancient versions of subvertpy. For 
bzr-svn / bzr compatibility see the bzr-svn wiki page (http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrForeignBranches/Subversion).

I've done announcements for most major bzr-svn releases. In some cases there's
just a minor API change that we have to cope with and in those situations it 
doesn't really seem worthwhile to do a full release announcement. Is there 
any benefit to you in this over subscribing to the wiki page?

Cheers,
