1.3/trunk Apache CouchDB is actually 1.2 with some refactoring. I will make it more clear on the refuge website. We are compatible with 1.2 and trunk (1.3)/ We are on the other hand somehow different from 1.2/1.3 CouchDB due to some refactoring and enhancements (supervision, release, logging, ..) in the codebase + addons (couch_randomdoc, refuge_spatial, ...). I want to put these changes in CouchDB but it's not actually clear how it will happen. Even after the couchdb summit... Anyway, while we are making a compatible distribution. We don't follow the release time of CouchDB. Releases will appear more often in near future , and binaries will be available in a continuous fashion sometimes in Mai for different platforms (bsds, linux, mac, win, ..) . If at any step we will change the supported version of CouchDB we will announce it. - benoît - benoît
