Version 0.11.0
--------------
-This version has not been released yet.
+Security:
-Build and System Integration
+ * Fixed CVE-2010-0009: Apache CouchDB Timing Attack Vulnerability.
+ * Added default cookie-authentication and users database.
+ * Added Futon user interface for user signup and login.
+ * Added per-database reader access control lists.
+ * Added per-database security object for configuration data in validation
+ functions.
+ * Added proxy authentication handler
- * Added support for building a Windows installer as part of 'make dist'.
- * Bug fix for building couch.app's module list.
+HTTP Interface:
+
+ * Provide Content-MD5 header support for attachments.
+ * Added URL Rewriter handler.
+ * Added virtual host handling.
-View Server
+View Server:
* Added optional 'raw' binary collation for faster view builds where Unicode
collation is not important.
* Improved view index build time by reducing ICU collation callouts.
* Improved view information objects.
* Bug fix for partial updates during view builds.
+ * Move query server to a design-doc based protocol.
+ * Use json2.js for JSON serialization for compatiblity with native JSON.
+ * Major refactoring of couchjs to lay the groundwork for disabling cURL
+ support. 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. This included a number of
+ updates to the build system to properly support VPATH builds.
+ * Gavin McDonald setup a build-bot instance. More info can be found at
+ http://ci.apache.org/buildbot.html
