I just installed svn 1.8.1 from wandisco to use the new features of 1.8. When I create a new repository using
svnadmin create test6
The format is still 5 (like in <=1.7) in the file test6/format.
# svnadmin --version
svnadmin, Version 1.8.1 (r1503906)
What am I doing wrong? Or am I looking at the wrong place for the new format?

Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system distributed as open source under the Apache License. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.
An FSFS repository stores the changes associated with a revision in a single file, and so all of a repository's revisions can be found in a single subdirectory full of numbered files. Transactions are created in separate subdirectories as individual files.
SVN stands for Subversion. So, SVN and Subversion are the same. SVN is used to manage and track changes to code and assets across projects.
FSFS stands for a "filesystem atop of the filesystem" or in the original Subversion 1.1.
See the question and answer https://serverfault.com/questions/277441/difference-between-the-format-and-db-format-files-in-a-subversion-repository, that explains the difference between repository format and file system format in great detail. When you look at test6/format, you see there the repository format, you should look at test6/db/format to see the file system format you expect. There, it should be number 6.
