[ANNOUNCE] Apache CouchDB 2.2.0 released

2018-08-08 Thread Jan Lehnardt
Dear community,

Apache CouchDB 2.2.0 has been released and is available for download.

Apache CouchDB™ lets you access your data where you need it. The Couch 
Replication Protocol is implemented in a variety of projects and products that 
span every imaginable computing environment from globally distributed 
server-clusters, over mobile phones to web browsers.

Store your data safely, on your own servers, or with any leading cloud 
provider. Your web- and native applications love CouchDB, because it speaks 
JSON natively and supports binary data for all your data storage needs.

The Couch Replication Protocol lets your data flow seamlessly between server 
clusters to mobile phones and web browsers, enabling a compelling offline-first 
user-experience while maintaining high performance and strong reliability. 
CouchDB comes with a developer-friendly query language, and optionally 
MapReduce for simple, efficient, and comprehensive data retrieval.

Download your copy here:

https://couchdb.apache.org/#download

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS are 
available. Docker images are in the publication process[1].

CouchDB 2.2.0 is a feature release, and was originally published on 2018-08-08.

The community would like to thank all contributors for their part in making 
this release, from the smallest bug report or patch to major contributions in 
code, design, or marketing, we couldn’t have done it without you!

See the official release notes document for an exhaustive list of all changes:

http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.2.0/whatsnew/2.2.html

Release Notes highlights:

  - New pluggable storage engine framework. This internal refactor makes it 
possible for CouchDB to use different backends for storing the base database 
file itself. The refactor included a full migration of the existing “legacy” 
storage engine into the new framework

  - The minimum supported version of Erlang is now R17, not 16B03. Support for 
Erlang 21 is still ongoing and will be provided in a future release.

  - The CouchDB replicator can now make use of the /_session endpoint rather 
than relying entirely on HTTP basic authentication headers. This can greatly 
improve replication performance.

  - CouchDB no longer fails to complete replicating databases with large 
attachments. The fix for this issue included several related changes (GitHub 
issue 745[2] et.al.)

  - Multiple queries can now be made at the POST /{db}/_all_docs/queries, POST 
/{db}/_design_docs/queries and POST /{db}/_local_docs/queries endpoints. Also, 
a new endpoint POST /{db}/_design/{ddoc}/_view/{view}/queries

  - The least recently used (LRU) cache of databases is now only updated on 
database write, not read. This has lead to significant performance enhancements 
on very busy clusters.

  - The revision stemming algorithm was optimized down from O(N^2) to O(N) via 
a depth-first search approach, and then further improved by calling the 
stemming operation only when necessary.

  - CouchDB now checks for request authorization only once per each database 
request, improving the performance of any request that requires authorization.

  - If a user specifies a value for use_index that is not valid for the 
selector (does not meet coverage requirements or proper sort fields), attempt 
to fall back to a valid index or full DB scan rather than returning a 400.

  - CouchDB now includes a new builtin reduce function_approx_count_distinct, 
that uses a HyperLogLog algorithm to estimate the number of distinct keys in 
the view index. The precision is currently fixed to 2^11 observables, and 
therefore uses approximately 1.5KB of memory.

  - Much improved documentation. Highlights include:
- A complete rewrite of the sharding documentation[3].
- Developer installation notes (INSTALL.*.rst)
- Much of the content of the original CouchDB Wiki has been imported into 
the official docs. (The old CouchDB Wiki is in the process of being deprecated.)
 
  - Much improved Fauxton functionality. Highlights include:
- Search support in the code editor
- Support for relative Fauxton URLs (i.e., not always at /_utils)
- Replication setup enhancements for various authentication mechanisms
- Fixes for IE10, IE11, and Edge (we hope…)
- Resolving conflicts of design documents is now allowed
 
- Many more smaller bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as more 
features and refinements. See the release notes for a full list:
