+ Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 Release Notes
+
+ Apache CouchDB 1.6.0 has been released and is available for download.
+
+ CouchDB is a database that completely embraces the web. Store your data
+ with JSON documents. Access your documents with your web browser, via
+ HTTP. Query, combine, and transform your documents with JavaScript.
+ CouchDB works well with modern web and mobile apps. You can even serve web
+ apps directly out of CouchDB. And you can distribute your data, or your
+ apps, efficiently using CouchDBâs incremental replication. CouchDB
+ supports master-master setups with automatic conflict detection.
+
+ Grab your copy here:
+
+ http://couchdb.apache.org/
+
+ Pre-built packages for Windows and OS X are available.
+
+ CouchDB 1.6.0 is a feature release, and was originally published on
+ 2014-06-10.
+
+ These release notes are based on the changelog.
+
+Upgrade Notes
+
+ The Proxy Authentication handler was renamed to
+ proxy_authentication_handler to follow the *_authentication_handler form
+ of all other handlers. The old proxy_authentification_handler name is
+ marked as deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Itâs strongly
+ recommended to update the httpd/authentication_handlers option with the
+ new value if you have this handler configured.
+
+What's New
+
+ *Â COUCHDB-2200: support Erlang/OTP 17.0 #35e16032
+ *Â Fauxton: many improvements in our experimental new user interface,
+ including switching the code editor from CodeMirror to Ace as well as
+ better support for various browsers.
+ *Â Add the max_count option (UUIDs Configuration) to allow rate-limiting
+ the amount of UUIDs that can be requested from the /_uuids handler in
+ a single request (CVE 2014-2668).
+ *Â COUCHDB-1986: increase socket buffer size to improve replication speed
+ for large documents and attachments, and fix tests on BSD-like
+ systems. #9a0e561b
+ *Â COUCHDB-1953: improve performance of multipart/related requests.
+ #ce3e89dc
+ *Â COUCHDB-2221: verify that authentication-related configuration
+ settings are well-formed. #dbe769c6
+ *Â COUCHDB-1922: fix CORS exposed headers. #4f619833
+ *Â Rename proxy_authentification_handler to proxy_authentication_handler.
+ #c66ac4a8
+ *Â COUCHDB-1795: ensure the startup script clears the pid file on
+ termination. #818ef4f9
+ *Â COUCHDB-1962: replication can now be performed without having write
+ access to the source database (#1d5fe2aa), the replication checkpoint
+ interval is now configurable (#0693f98e).
+ *Â COUCHDB-2025: add support for SOCKS5 proxies for replication. #fcd76c9
+ *Â COUCHDB-1930: redirect to the correct page after submitting a new
+ document with a different ID than the one suggested by Futon.
+ #4906b591
+ *Â COUCHDB-1923: add support for attachments and att_encoding_info
+ options (formerly only available on the documents API) to the view
+ API. #ca41964b
+ *Â COUCHDB-1647: for failed replications originating from a document in
+ the _replicator database, store the failure reason in the document.
+ #08cac68b
+ *Â A number of improvements for the documentation.
