| |
| Version 0.7.2 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * Small changes to build process and `couchdb` command. |
| * Database server official port is now 5984 TCP/UDP instead of 8888. |
| |
| Version 0.7.1 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * Small compatibility issue with Firefox 3 fixed. |
| |
| Version 0.7.0 |

| |
| * Infrastructure rewritten to use the GNU build system for portability. |
| * The built-in database browsing tool has been rewritten to provide a much |
| nicer interface for interacting directly with CouchDB from your web browser. |
| * XML and Fabric have been replaced with JSON and JavaScript for data |
| transport and View definitions. |
| |
| Version 0.6.0 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * A replication facility is now available. |
| * CouchPeek can now create, delete and view documents. |
| * Building from source is easier and less error prone. |
| |
| Version 0.5.0 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * A built-in CouchPeek utility. |
| * A full install kit buildable from a single command. |
| * A new GNU/Linux version is available. An OS X version is coming soon. |
| |
| Version 0.4.0 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * Non-existent variables are now nil lists. |
| * Couch error codes and messages are no longer sent in the HTTP fields, |
| instead they are exclusively returned in the XML body. This is to avoid HTTP |
| header parsing problems with oddly formed error messages. |
| * Returned error messages are now logged at the server at the `info` level to |
| make general debugging easier. |
| * Fixed a problem where big table builds caused timeout errors. |
| * Lots of changes in the low level machinery. Most formulas will continue to |
| function the same. |
| * Added full compiler support for extended characters in formula source. |
| * Support for Perl/Ruby like regular expressions. |
| * Added `total_rows` and `result_start` attributes to tables. |
| |
| Version 0.3.0 |
| ------------- |
| |
| * CouchDB now fully supports Unicode and locale specific collation via the ICU |
| library, both in the Fabric engine and computed tables. |
| * The `in` operator has been added to Fabric. |
| * The `startdoc` query string variable specifies the starting document to use |
| if there are multiple rows with identical startkeys. |
| * The `skip` query string variable specifies the number of rows to skip before |
| returning results. The `skip` value must be a positive integer. If used with |
| a `count` variable the skipped rows aren't counted as output. |
| * Various changes to the output XML format. |
