CouchDB Accounts
Hey folks,
I've been doing a lot of integration work on the login system lately.
I've documented the changes here:
http://jchrisa.net/drl/_design/sofa/_show/post/CouchDB-Accounts
I don't think there are any breaking changes, but it should be a lot
easier for CouchApp developers to write secure apps now.
My next project is upgrading my existing CouchApps like Sofa and Toast
to take advantage of this stuff. I'll try to document that process as
I go through it.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if I broke something you
depend on, let us know so we can make it easy for you.
Enjoy,
Chris

Please set a favicon for your site that is not the standard Couch/Futon one
so I can tell the tabs apart in my browser! It may also be worthwhile
encouraging folks to use a different one as the first step of writing a
couchapp.
(There has a been a campaign in the Ubuntu community for similar reasons -
almost every Ubuntu related site was using exactly the same favicon.)

thanks, I think I've got that fixed now.

User accounts are great! Thanks for getting this done.
One request that is only a tangentially related. In upgrading to take
advantage of this feature, I hit the invalid UTF-8 JSON bug discussed
back in December on the mailing list. Because it took me a while to
figure out, I just updated the Wiki to mention this in the
"troubleshooting" section. Could someone edit the README in the
source code to mention that old versions of CouchDB really need to be
scrubbed from the filesystem prior to upgrading?
One bug that you may have already noticed: The link in Futon that says
"Welcome James" or whatever seems to be hardcoded to point to users,
rather than whatever the correct db is supposed to be (in my case,
"_users"). I am running
couchdb built from git commit 84fd4ae77ef7b4c53a9159394747676a1c65ab51
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"0.11.0b84fd4ae7-git"}
