[ANNOUNCE] Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 released

Dear Community,

Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 has been released and is available for download.

CouchDB is a database that completely embraces the web. Store your
data with JSON documents. Access your documents with your web browser,
via HTTP. Query, combine, and transform your documents with
JavaScript. CouchDB works well with modern web and mobile apps. You
can even serve web apps directly out of CouchDB. And you can
distribute your data, or your apps, efficiently using CouchDB’s
incremental replication. CouchDB supports master-master setups with
automatic conflict detection.

Grab your copy here:

     http://couchdb.apache.org/

Pre-built packages for Windows and OS X are available.

CouchDB 1.6.0 is a feature release, and was originally published on 2014-06-10.

These release notes are based on the changelog.

Upgrade Notes

The Proxy Authentication 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 as deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
It’s strongly recommended to update the httpd/authentication_handlers
option with the new value if you have this handler configured.

What's New

* COUCHDB-2200: support Erlang/OTP 17.0 #35e16032
* Fauxton: many improvements in our experimental new user interface,
including switching the code editor from CodeMirror to Ace as well as
better support for various browsers.
* Add the max_count option (UUIDs Configuration) to allow
rate-limiting the amount of UUIDs that can be requested from the
/_uuids handler in a single request (CVE 2014-2668).
* COUCHDB-1986: increase socket buffer size to improve replication
speed for large documents and attachments, and fix tests on BSD-like
systems. #9a0e561b
* COUCHDB-1953: improve performance of multipart/related requests. #ce3e89dc
* COUCHDB-2221: verify that authentication-related configuration
settings are well-formed. #dbe769c6
* COUCHDB-1922: fix CORS exposed headers. #4f619833
* Rename proxy_authentification_handler to
proxy_authentication_handler. #c66ac4a8
* COUCHDB-1795: ensure the startup script clears the pid file on
termination. #818ef4f9
* COUCHDB-1962: replication can now be performed without having write
access to the source database (#1d5fe2aa), the replication checkpoint
interval is now configurable (#0693f98e).
* COUCHDB-2025: add support for SOCKS5 proxies for replication. #fcd76c9
* COUCHDB-1930: redirect to the correct page after submitting a new
document with a different ID than the one suggested by Futon.
#4906b591
* COUCHDB-1923: add support for attachments and att_encoding_info
options (formerly only available on the documents API) to the view
API. #ca41964b
* COUCHDB-1647: for failed replications originating from a document in
the _replicator database, store the failure reason in the document.
#08cac68b
* A number of improvements for the documentation.

On behalf of the CouchDB PMC,

Dirkjan
