Dear dev@, it’s been about three years in the making, but I think we are now at a point where we can start the CouchDB 2.0 release candidate phase.
Before we set the process in stone, please give the tarball linked below a try, as if were the CouchDB 2.0 release, and please report any issues back. The instructions in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BtndYr-0KDQTqBSLVdJoR_8C5ObYjT1RBo_Qyh5ykdQ/edit#heading=h.hxt36ze66vb3 (ignore the Docker bits above) should get you going with either a single-machine test cluster, or a proper multi-node setup. If any of this doesn’t work or is confusing, please report back here or in JIRA. Without further ado: https://home.apache.org/~jan/couchdb/2.0/RC/apache-couchdb-2.0.0-92c95de.tar.gz Happy testing and thanks in advance for your feedback! Best Jan --
