Hi everyone,
We just upgraded to 0.9.0a719015-incubating from the 0.8.x release,
via mac ports.
this is an outdated intermediate development version. Can you update to
0.9.0 proper?

The issues you see happened during the development of 0.9 and the wiki
only reflects the 0.9.0 release time. The MacPorts snapshot is simply
too
old.

We found two things that weren't clear from the wiki:
1) View design documents must be PUT with the slash between _design
and the document escaped. This isn't what the wiki says:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_view_API
You can have / as part of the DocID but if you refer to a document
in a URL you must always encode it as %2F. One special case is
_design/ documents, those accept either / or %2F for the / after
_design, although / is preferred and %2F is still needed for the
rest of the DocID.
Shall I update this, or this is a bug in the version that we're
running?
2) The GET urls for views has *not* changed. This wasn't quite what
we expected. The wiki says that you query views using an URL like
/_design/designname/_view/viewname, but on the version we're running
at least, this isn't true. This is how you *PUT* view documents; GET
is still like this:
/_view/designname/viewname/
Hope this helps someone. Please let us know if we've misunderstood
something.
