-
-Changes Between 0.11.0 and 0.11.1
----------------------------------
-
-- ``_log`` and ``_temp_views`` are now admin-only resources.
-- ``_bulk_docs`` now requires a valid `Content-Type` header of
- ``application/json``.
-- `JSONP` is disabled by default. An .ini option was added to selectively
- enable it.
-- The ``key``, ``startkey`` and ``endkey`` properties of the request object
- passed to :ref:`list <listfun>` and :ref:`show <showfun>` functions now
- contain JSON objects representing the URL encoded string values in the query
- string. Previously, these properties contained strings which needed to be
- converted to JSON before using.
-
-
-Changes Between 0.10.x and 0.11.0
----------------------------------
-
-show, list, update and validation functions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``req`` argument to show, list, update and validation functions now contains
-the member method with the specified HTTP method of the current request.
-Previously, this member was called ``verb``. ``method`` is following :rfc:`2616`
-(HTTP 1.1) closer.
-
-_admins -> _security
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The `/db/_admins` handler has been removed and replaced with a
-:ref:`/db/_security <api/db/security>` object. Any existing `_admins` will be
-dropped and need to be added to the security object again. The reason for this
-is that the old system made no distinction between names and roles, while the
-new one does, so there is no way to automatically upgrade the old admins list.
-
-The security object has 2 special fields, ``admins`` and ``readers``, which
-contain lists of names and roles which are admins or readers on that database.
-Anything else may be stored in other fields on the security object. The entire
-object is made available to validation functions.
-
-json2.js
-^^^^^^^^
-
-JSON handling in the query server has been upgraded to use `json2.js`_.
-This allows us to use faster native JSON serialization when it is available.
-
-In previous versions, attempts to serialize undefined would throw an exception,
-causing the doc that emitted undefined to be dropped from the view index.
-The new behavior is to serialize undefined as null. Applications depending on
-the old behavior will need to explicitly check for undefined.
-
-Another change is that E4X's XML objects will not automatically be
-stringified. XML users will need to call ``my_xml_object.toXMLString()``
-to return a string value. :commit:`8d3b7ab3`
-
-.. _json2.js: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js
-
-
-WWW-Authenticate
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The default configuration has been changed to avoid causing basic-auth popups
-which result from sending the WWW-Authenticate header. To enable basic-auth
-popups, uncomment the :config:option:`httpd/WWW-Authenticate` line in
-`local.ini`.
-
-Query server line protocol
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The query server line protocol has changed for all functions except
-:ref:`map <qs/map_doc>`, :ref:`reduce <qs/reduce>`, and
-:ref:`rereduce <qs/rereduce>`. This allows us to cache the entire design
-document in the query server process, which results in faster performance for
-common operations. It also gives more flexibility to query server
-implementators and shouldn't require major changes in the future when adding
-new query server features.
-
-UTF8 JSON
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-JSON request bodies are validated for proper UTF-8 before saving, instead of
-waiting to fail on subsequent read requests.
-
-_changes line format
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Continuous changes are now newline delimited, instead of having each line
-followed by a comma.
-
-
-.. _release/0.11.2:
-
-Version 0.11.2
-==============
-
-Authentication

- collation is not important.
-* Improved view index build time by reducing ICU collation callouts.
-* Improved view information objects.
-* Bug fix for partial updates during view builds.
-* Move query server to a design-doc based protocol.
-* Use json2.js for JSON serialization for compatiblity with native JSON.

-
-
-.. _release/0.8.1:
-
-Version 0.8.1-incubating
-========================
-
-Build and System Integration
-----------------------------
-
-* The `couchdb` script no longer uses `awk` for configuration checks as this
- was causing portability problems.
-* Updated `sudo` example in `README` to use the `-i` option, this fixes
- problems when invoking from a directory the `couchdb` user cannot access.
-
-Database Core
--------------
-
-* Fix for replication problems where the write queues can get backed up if the
- writes aren't happening fast enough to keep up with the reads. For a large
- replication, this can exhaust memory and crash, or slow down the machine
- dramatically. The fix keeps only one document in the write queue at a time.
-* Fix for databases sometimes incorrectly reporting that they contain 0
- documents after compaction.
-* CouchDB now uses ibrowse instead of inets for its internal HTTP client
- implementation. This means better replication stability.
-
-Futon
------
-
-* The view selector dropdown should now work in Opera and Internet Explorer
- even when it includes optgroups for design documents. (:issue:`81`)
-
-JavaScript View Server
-----------------------
-
-* Sealing of documents has been disabled due to an incompatibility with
- SpiderMonkey 1.9.
-* Improve error handling for undefined values emitted by map functions.
- (:issue:`83`)
-
-HTTP Interface
---------------
-
-* Fix for chunked responses where chunks were always being split into multiple
- TCP packets, which caused problems with the test suite under Safari, and in
- some other cases.
-* Fix for an invalid JSON response body being returned for some kinds of
- views. (:issue:`84`)
-* Fix for connections not getting closed after rejecting a chunked request.
- (:issue:`55`)
-* CouchDB can now be bound to IPv6 addresses.
-* The HTTP `Server` header now contains the versions of CouchDB and Erlang.
-
-
-.. _release/0.8.0:
-
-Version 0.8.0-incubating
-========================
-
-Build and System Integration
-----------------------------
-
-* CouchDB can automatically respawn following a server crash.
-* Database server no longer refuses to start with a stale PID file.
-* System logrotate configuration provided.
-* Improved handling of ICU shared libraries.
-* The `couchdb` script now automatically enables SMP support in Erlang.
-* The `couchdb` and `couchjs` scripts have been improved for portability.
-* The build and system integration have been improved for portability.
-
-Database Core
--------------
-
-* The view engine has been completely decoupled from the storage engine. Index
- data is now stored in separate files, and the format of the main database
- file has changed.
-* Databases can now be compacted to reclaim space used for deleted documents
- and old document revisions.
-* Support for incremental map/reduce views has been added.
-* To support map/reduce, the structure of design documents has changed. View
- values are now JSON objects containing at least a `map` member, and
- optionally a `reduce` member.
-* View servers are now identified by name (for example `javascript`) instead of
- by media type.
-* Automatically generated document IDs are now based on proper UUID generation
- using the crypto module.
-* The field `content-type` in the JSON representation of attachments has been
- renamed to `content_type` (underscore).
-
-Futon
------
-
-* When adding a field to a document, Futon now just adds a field with an
- autogenerated name instead of prompting for the name with a dialog. The name
- is automatically put into edit mode so that it can be changed immediately.
-* Fields are now sorted alphabetically by name when a document is displayed.
-* Futon can be used to create and update permanent views.
-* The maximum number of rows to display per page on the database page can now
- be adjusted.
-* Futon now uses the XMLHTTPRequest API asynchronously to communicate with the
- CouchDB HTTP server, so that most operations no longer block the browser.
-* View results sorting can now be switched between ascending and descending by
- clicking on the `Key` column header.
-* Fixed a bug where documents that contained a `@` character could not be
- viewed. (:issue:`12`)
-* The database page now provides a `Compact` button to trigger database
- compaction. (:issue:`38`)
-* Fixed portential double encoding of document IDs and other URI segments in
- many instances. (:issue:`39`)
-* Improved display of attachments.
-* The JavaScript Shell has been removed due to unresolved licensing issues.
-
-JavaScript View Server
-----------------------
-
-* SpiderMonkey is no longer included with CouchDB, but rather treated as a
- normal external dependency. A simple C program (`_couchjs`) is provided that
- links against an existing SpiderMonkey installation and uses the interpreter
- embedding API.
-* View functions using the default JavaScript view server can now do logging
- using the global `log(message)` function. Log messages are directed into the
- CouchDB log at `INFO` level. (:issue:`59`)
-* The global `map(key, value)` function made available to view code has been
- renamed to `emit(key, value)`.
-* Fixed handling of exceptions raised by view functions.
-
-HTTP Interface
---------------
-
-* CouchDB now uses MochiWeb instead of inets for the HTTP server
- implementation. Among other things, this means that the extra configuration
- files needed for inets (such as `couch_httpd.conf`) are no longer used.
-* The HTTP interface now completely supports the `HEAD` method. (:issue:`3`)
-* Improved compliance of `Etag` handling with the HTTP specification.
- (:issue:`13`)
-* Etags are no longer included in responses to document `GET` requests that
- include query string parameters causing the JSON response to change without
- the revision or the URI having changed.
-* The bulk document update API has changed slightly on both the request and the
- response side. In addition, bulk updates are now atomic.
-* CouchDB now uses `TCP_NODELAY` to fix performance problems with persistent
- connections on some platforms due to nagling.
-* Including a `?descending=false` query string parameter in requests to views
- no longer raises an error.
-* Requests to unknown top-level reserved URLs (anything with a leading
- underscore) now return a `unknown_private_path` error instead of the
- confusing `illegal_database_name`.
-* The Temporary view handling now expects a JSON request body, where the JSON
- is an object with at least a `map` member, and optional `reduce` and
- `language` members.
-* Temporary views no longer determine the view server based on the Content-Type
- header of the `POST` request, but rather by looking for a `language` member
- in the JSON body of the request.
-* The status code of responses to `DELETE` requests is now 200 to reflect that
- that the deletion is performed synchronously.

-Upgrade Notes
-=============
-
-Response to Bulk Creation/Updates
----------------------------------
-
-The response to a bulk creation / update now looks like this
-
-.. code-block:: javascript
-
- [
- {"id": "0", "rev": "3682408536"},
- {"id": "1", "rev": "3206753266"},
- {"id": "2", "error": "conflict", "reason": "Document update conflict."}
- ]
-
-Database File Format
---------------------
-
-The database file format has changed. CouchDB itself does yet not provide any
-tools for migrating your data. In the meantime, you can use third-party scripts
-to deal with the migration, such as the dump/load tools that come with the
-development version (trunk) of `couchdb-python`_.
-
-.. _couchdb-python: http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/
-
-Renamed "count" to "limit"
---------------------------
-
-The view query API has been changed: ``count`` has become ``limit``.
-This is a better description of what the parameter does, and should be a simple
-update in any client code.
-
-Moved View URLs
----------------
-
-The view URLs have been moved to design document resources. This means that
-paths that used to be like http://hostname:5984/mydb/_view/designname/viewname?limit=10
-will now look like http://hostname:5984/mydb/_design/designname/_view/viewname?limit=10.
-See the `REST, Hypermedia, and CouchApps`_ thread on dev for details.

------------
-
-Names of attachments are no longer allowed to start with an underscore.
-
-Error Codes
------------
-
-Some refinements have been made to error handling. CouchDB will send 400 instead
-of 500 on invalid query parameters. Most notably, document update conflicts now
-respond with `409 Conflict` instead of `412 Precondition Failed`. The error code
-for when attempting to create a database that already exists is now 412
-instead of 409.
-
-ini file format
----------------
-
-CouchDB 0.9 changes sections and configuration variable names in configuration
-files. Old .ini files won't work. Also note that CouchDB now ships with two .ini
-files where 0.8 used couch.ini there are now `default.ini` and `local.ini`.
-`default.ini` contains CouchDB's standard configuration values. local.ini is
-meant for local changes. `local.ini` is not overwritten on CouchDB updates, so
-your edits are safe. In addition, the new runtime configuration system persists
-changes to the configuration in `local.ini`.

-Upgrade Notes
-=============
-
-Note, to replicate with a 1.0 CouchDB instance you must first upgrade in-place
-your current CouchDB to 1.0 or 0.11.1 -- backporting so that 0.10.x can
-replicate to 1.0 wouldn't be that hard. All that is required is patching the
-replicator to use the ``application/json`` content type.
-
-- ``_log`` and ``_temp_views`` are now admin-only resources.
-- ``_bulk_docs`` now requires a valid `Content-Type` header of
- ``application/json``.
-- `JSONP` is disabled by default. An .ini option was added to selectively
- enable it.
-- The ``key``, ``startkey`` and ``endkey`` properties of the request object
- passed to :ref:`list <listfun>` and :ref:`show <showfun>` functions now
- contain JSON objects representing the URL encoded string values in the query
- string. Previously, these properties contained strings which needed to be
- converted to JSON before using.
-
-.. warning::

-Upgrade Notes
-=============
-
-.. warning::
-
- This version drops support for the database format that was introduced in
- version 0.9.0. Compact your older databases (that have not been compacted
- for a long time) before upgrading, or they will become inaccessible.
-
-.. warning::
-
- :ref:`release/1.2.1` contains important security fixes. Previous `1.2.x`
- releases are not recommended for regular usage.
-
-Security changes
-----------------
-
-The interface to the ``_users`` and ``_replicator`` databases have been
-changed so that non-administrator users can see less information:
-
-* In the ``_users`` database:
-
- * User documents can now only be read by the respective users, as well as
- administrators. Other users cannot read these documents.
- * Views can only be defined and queried by administrator users.
- * The ``_changes`` feed can only be queried by administrator users.
-
-* In the ``_replicator`` database:
-
- * Documents now have a forced ``owner`` field that corresponds to the
- authenticated user that created them.
- * Non-owner users will not see confidential information like passwords or
- OAuth tokens in replication documents; they can still see the other
- contents of those documents. Administrators can see everything.
- * Views can only be defined and queried by administrators.
-
-Database Compression
---------------------
-
-The new optional (but enabled by default) compression of disk files requires
-an upgrade of the on-disk format (5 -> 6) which occurs on creation for new
-databases and views, and on compaction for existing files. This format is not
-supported in previous releases, so rollback would require replication to the
-previous CouchDB release or restoring from backup.
-
-Compression can be disabled by setting ``compression = none`` in your
-``local.ini`` ``[couchdb]`` section, but the on-disk format will still be
-upgraded.
-
-
-.. _release/1.2.2:
-
-Version 1.2.2
-=============
-
-Build System
-------------

-
-
-.. _release/1.2.0:
-
-Version 1.2.0
-=============
-
-Authentication
---------------
-
-* Fix use of OAuth with VHosts and URL rewriting.
-* OAuth secrets can now be stored in the users system database
- as an alternative to key value pairs in the .ini configuration.
- By default this is disabled (secrets are stored in the .ini)
- but can be enabled via the .ini configuration key `use_users_db`
- in the `couch_httpd_oauth` section.
-* Documents in the _users database are no longer publicly
- readable.
-* Confidential information in the _replication database is no
- longer publicly readable.
-* Password hashes are now calculated by CouchDB. Clients are no
- longer required to do this manually.
-* Cookies used for authentication can be made persistent by enabling
- the .ini configuration key `allow_persistent_cookies` in the
- `couch_httpd_auth` section.
-
-Build System
-------------
-
-* cURL is no longer required to build CouchDB as it is only
- used by the command line JS test runner. If cURL is available
- when building CouchJS you can enable the HTTP bindings by
- passing -H on the command line.
-* Temporarily made `make check` pass with R15B. A more thorough
- fix is in the works (:issue:`1424`).
-* Fixed --with-js-include and --with-js-lib options.
-* Added --with-js-lib-name option.
-
-Futon
------
-
-* The `Status` screen (active tasks) now displays two new task status
- fields: `Started on` and `Updated on`.
-* Futon remembers view code every time it is saved, allowing to save an
- edit that amounts to a revert.
-
-HTTP Interface
---------------
-
-* Added a native JSON parser.
-* The _active_tasks API now offers more granular fields. Each
- task type is now able to expose different properties.
-* Added built-in changes feed filter `_view`.
-* Fixes to the `_changes` feed heartbeat option which caused
- heartbeats to be missed when used with a filter. This caused
- timeouts of continuous pull replications with a filter.
-* Properly restart the SSL socket on configuration changes.
-
-OAuth
------
-
-* Updated bundled `erlang_oauth` library to the latest version.
-
-Replicator
-----------
-
-* A new replicator implementation. It offers more performance and
- configuration options.
-* Passing non-string values to query_params is now a 400 bad
- request. This is to reduce the surprise that all parameters
- are converted to strings internally.
-* Added optional field `since_seq` to replication objects/documents.
- It allows to bootstrap a replication from a specific source sequence
- number.
-* Simpler replication cancellation. In addition to the current method,
- replications can now be canceled by specifying the replication ID
- instead of the original replication object/document.
-
-Storage System
---------------
-
-* Added optional database and view index file compression (using Google's
- snappy or zlib's deflate). This feature is enabled by default, but it
- can be disabled by adapting local.ini accordingly. The on-disk format
- is upgraded on compaction and new DB/view creation to support this.
-* Several performance improvements, most notably regarding database writes
- and view indexing.
-* Computation of the size of the latest MVCC snapshot data and all its
- supporting metadata, both for database and view index files. This
- information is exposed as the `data_size` attribute in the database and
- view group information URIs.
-* The size of the buffers used for database and view compaction is now
- configurable.
-* Added support for automatic database and view compaction. This feature
- is disabled by default, but it can be enabled via the .ini configuration.
-* Performance improvements for the built-in changes feed filters `_doc_ids`
- and `_design`.
-
-View Server
------------
-
-* Add CoffeeScript (http://coffeescript.org/) as a first class view server
- language.
-* Fixed old index file descriptor leaks after a view cleanup.
-* The requested_path property keeps the pre-rewrite path even when no VHost
- configuration is matched.
-* Fixed incorrect reduce query results when using pagination parameters.
-* Made icu_driver work with Erlang R15B and later.

-
-Upgrade Notes
-=============
-
-You can upgrade your existing CouchDB 1.0.x installation to 1.3.0
-without any specific steps or migration. When you run CouchDB, the
-existing data and index files will be opened and used as normal.
-
-The first time you run a compaction routine on your database within 1.3.0,
-the data structure and indexes will be updated to the new version of the
-CouchDB database format that can only be read by CouchDB 1.3.0 and later.
-This step is not reversible. Once the data files have been updated and
-migrated to the new version the data files will no longer work with a
-CouchDB 1.0.x release.
-
-.. warning::
- If you want to retain support for opening the data files in
- CouchDB 1.0.x you must back up your data files before performing the
- upgrade and compaction process.

-Upgrade Notes
-=============
-
-The :ref:`Proxy Authentication <api/auth/proxy>` handler was renamed to
-``proxy_authentication_handler`` to follow the ``*_authentication_handler`` form
-of all other handlers. The old ``proxy_authentification_handler`` name is marked
