+ 
+ Note that CouchDB versions prior to 1.0.2 should not be used due to 1 cross-site scripting security issue [[http://couchdb.apache.org/security.html|CVE-2010-3854]], and 2 bugs that, in certain situations, could cause data loss [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-852|COUCHDB-852]] and [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-844|COUCHDB-844]].
+ 
+ == Known Issues ==
+ Currently there are a number of non-critical issues in 1.0.2 that you need to be aware of; both have work-arounds documented in the JIRA comments
+ 
+ [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-577|COUCHDB-577]] couchdb @ winxp: Simple RegExp's can not be executed
+ [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-963|COUCHDB-963]] while running CouchDB as a service, the erlang erlsrv process dies periodically during restarting CouchDB (POST /_restart fails) - either use the .bat version only, or apply the workarounds noted within the ticket comments.
  
  === Installing as a Windows Service ===
