Most formulas will continue to + function the same. + * Added full compiler support for extended characters in formula source. + * Support for Perl/Ruby like regular expressions. + * Added `total_rows` and `result_start` attributes to tables. + +Version 0.3.0 +------------- + + * CouchDB now fully supports Unicode and locale specific collation via the ICU + library, both in the Fabric engine and computed tables. + * The `in` operator has been added to Fabric. + * The `startdoc` query string variable specifies the starting document to use + if there are multiple rows with identical startkeys. + * The `skip` query string variable specifies the number of rows to skip before + returning results. The `skip` value must be a positive integer. If used with + a `count` variable the skipped rows aren't counted as output. + * Various changes to the output XML format. |
