The Windows installer improvements are now live at the same URL below,
the installer is called apache-couchdb-3.0.0.1.msi.
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/binary/win/3.0.0/rc.1/
LOTS of improvements:
* Prompts for an admin user/password as CouchDB 3.0 requires
* Will not overwrite existing credentials if in place
* No longer remove user-modified config files, closing
apache/couchdb#1989
* Also will not overwrite them on install, naturally :)
* Checkbox to disable installation of the Windows service
* Silent install support for all the above
* Friendly link to the online release notes in the exit dialog
* Higher resolution icon for HiDPI (500x500)
The details are here:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-glazier/pull/12
The build runs fine on Windows, obviously, and `make check` passes
entirely, so this is my official +1 on the RC.

NOTE: You have to use Notepad (or similar) as Administrator and edit
your local.ini file before the service will start correctly.
I've got a few minor things planned for the Windows installer to improve
on it, including prompting for an admin user on install, but this is
functional for now.
Linux binaries of various flavours are being built right now.

Dear community,
I would like to propose that we release Apache CouchDB 3.0.0.
Candidate release notes:
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/whatsnew/3.0.html
We encourage the whole community to download and test these release
artefacts so that any critical issues can be resolved before the
release is made. Everyone is free to vote on this release, so dig
right in! (Only PMC members have binding votes, but they depend on
community feedback to gauge if an official release is ready to be made.)
The release artefacts we are voting on are available here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/source/3.0.0/rc.1
There, you will find a tarball, a GPG signature, and SHA256/SHA512
checksums.
Please follow the test procedure here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COUCHDB/Testing+a+Source+Release
Please remember that "RC1" is an annotation. If the vote passes,
these artefacts will be released as Apache CouchDB 3.0.0.
Please cast your votes now.
Thanks,
Joan "once in a lifetime" Touzet
