[ANNOUNCE] Apache CouchDB 0.10. has been released

Hello,

Apache CouchDB 0.10.0 has been released and is available for download:

	http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html

This is the first beta release of CouchDB, so well done everyone to  
who made that possible!

Changes in this release:

	• Added modular configuration file directories.
	• Miscellaneous improvements to build, system integration, and  
portability.

This release contains backwards incompatible changes:

	http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Breaking_changes

CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and  
indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers  
incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and  
resolution.

CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API than can be accessed from any  
environment that allows HTTP requests. There are myriad third-party  
client libraries that make this even easier from your programming  
language of choice. CouchDB’s built in Web administration console  
speaks directly to the database using HTTP requests issued from your  
browser.

CouchDB is written in Erlang, a robust functional programming language  
ideal for building concurrent distributed systems. Erlang allows for a  
flexible design that is easily scalable and readily extensible.

Relax and prosper,

Noah

We should re-start the community mailing list/wiki discussions soon.

Thanks Elliot, and everyone at Ubuntu! I'm really excited to see what
people do with a local CouchDB. This means a lot for the project and
I'm honored to hear your praise for the community.

Thanks, devs - without people writing patches, there is no CouchDB.
This is an important time for the project - let's make sure to give
gentle introductions to the rush of new users.

Now is a great time to be writing "hello world" tutorials - we have a
unique opportunity to shape the future of the web, and the best way to
do that is to make it easy for new people to get up to speed and feel
their voice is heard in the project.

I sat down to look at this tonight, and see that Sergei has already
uploaded Couchdb 0.10 to debian, hurrah! I still need to push up a
handful of packaging fixes/changes that we made in Ubuntu, but at least
0.10 is available already. Thanks for reminding about it :)

With my gadfly hat on, do you think you could co-ordinate pushing up  
this to Debian too?

Thanks,

CouchDB in Ubuntu [was: Apache CouchDB 0.10. has been released]

This release was uploaded to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) a few hours ago,
narrowly beating the final release freeze, so it will have a LOT of new
users. We're putting the final touches on the server side of
https://one.ubuntu.com and by the time Ubuntu 9.10 is released on
October 29th every single Ubuntu user will have an address book stored
in CouchDB that replicates with one.ubuntu.com, and Tomboy notes that
are replicated via a web API at the application but then stored in
CouchDB and carried along in the CouchDB replication that we have set
up. Optionally they can also store all their Firefox bookmarks in
CouchDB and have those replicated as well. We'll be doing our best to
help teach application developers to use CouchDB in order to
"cloud-enable" their apps. A couch on every desktop!

I'd like to say thank you to the whole CouchDB developer community for
tirelessly hacking on such a cool project, and for the extra efforts
many of you have made to pull 0.10 together in time for the Ubuntu
release. It's risky building a new service that depends on beta
technology, but what I've seen from this project fills me with
confidence that we made the right choice for Ubuntu. Anyone working on
CouchDB who's interested is very welcome to attend the Ubuntu Developer
summit November 16-20 in Dallas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-L

Ubuntu 10.04 is a long-term support release, which means we support it
for 3 years instead of 18 months, so we'll be more conservative about
what sorts of changes we make in that version. I mention this because
I'll be interested in knowing from the CouchDB development team whether
you want to have a CouchDB 0.11 release included in Ubuntu 10.04, so we
can do what makes the most sense for everyone. Here is a link to the
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) release schedule:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule . The way I read the
release schedule, we'd need whatever version of CouchDB you want to have
in Ubuntu 10.04 released by March 4, 2010. But thats later, right now
the 0.10 release deserves a celebration!
