{If you don't use iOS, or don't build your own Couchbase Lite library from
source, you can ignore this}
The master branch of couchbase-lite-ios now supports the ForestDB storage
engine. (It also still supports SQLite, and in fact defaults to SQLite, but you
can now use ForestDB without having to build a whole separate branch of
Couchbase Lite.)
The main thing you need to know is that we changed the database file format,
even for SQLite-based databases, and older revisions of CBL can't read it. So
once you've run a CBL built from this revision or newer, it will upgrade the
databases and you can't go back to an earlier version of the code without
losing the data.
For this reason we highly recommend not releasing any iOS apps that include
home-built versions of Couchbase Lite, until the next official release (which
will be 1.1.)
Full details, including instructions for how to enable ForestDB-based storage
in your iOS apps (it's at least twice as fast!), is available on the wiki
<https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-ios/wiki/Building-Couchbase-Lite>.
