flimzy opened a new issue #181: max_document_size docs need updating
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues/181
 
 
   #177 mentions in the 'whatsnew' doc that `max_document_size` has been renamed to `max_http_request_size`, but the [main documentation](http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/config/couchdb.html#couchdb/max_document_size) still refers to the old name.
   
   I was preparing to update that in #180, so I looked at the `default.ini` as suggested in the whatsnew doc, and became more confused.
   
   The `default.ini` does indeed reference the [`max_http_request_size`](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/d71ce9f8083a0c2cc5f81c353946f19589a5cba4/rel/overlay/etc/default.ini#L121) option, but does not mention `single_max_doc_size`, and does still mention the (old?) [`max_document_size`](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/d71ce9f8083a0c2cc5f81c353946f19589a5cba4/rel/overlay/etc/default.ini#L51) option.
   
   I'd like to make this all consistent (before the 2.1.1 release if possible).  If I need to UTSL to find the canonical answer, I will, but it's my hope that somebody can enlighten me as to the current state of things as of now.
   
   - Is `default.ini` correct? (In which case whatsnew needs to be updated not to refer to `single_max_doc_size`)
   - Is `whatsnew` correct (in which case the default.ini and main docs need to be updated)?
   
   Is the story more complex, and full of additional nuance? :)
