The new HTTP interaction acts like a synchronous XHR. Example usage + of the new system is in the JavaScript CLI test runner. -Replication +Replication: * Added option to implicitly create replication target databases. + * Avoid leaking file descriptors on automatic replication restarts. + * Added option to replicate a list of documents by id. + * Allow continuous replication to be cancelled. -Storage System +Storage System: * Adds batching of multiple updating requests, to improve throughput with many writers. Removed the now redundant couch_batch_save module. + * Adds configurable compression of attachments. -Runtime Statistics +Runtime Statistics: + * Statistics are now calculated for a moving window instead of non-overlapping + timeframes. * Fixed a problem with statistics timers and system sleep. + * Moved statistic names to a term file in the priv directory. -Futon +Futon: * Added a button for view compaction. + * JSON strings are now displayed as-is in the document view, without the escaping of + new-lines and quotes. That dramatically improves readability of multi-line + strings. + * Same goes for editing of JSON string values. When a change to a field value is + submitted, and the value is not valid JSON it is assumed to be a string. This + improves editing of multi-line strings a lot. + * Hitting tab in textareas no longer moves focus to the next form field, but simply + inserts a tab character at the current caret position. + * Fixed some font declarations. + +Build and System Integration: + + * Updated and improved source documentation. + * Fixed distribution preparation for building on Mac OS X. + * Added support for building a Windows installer as part of 'make dist'. + * Bug fix for building couch.app's module list. + * ETap tests are now run during make distcheck.
