I've looked into using this before and couldn't work out why I'd want to use it over alternatives, or how it stored data.<p>I think the new website is fantastic, as I now know all of this and more just from a quick glace. Great work.
Does anyone know if they have CouchDB on iOS, Android, or even on the browser? Last I checked, they didn't, and only had experimental builds on each.<p>To me, that'd be a much more compelling reason to use CouchDB, since syncing between server and client is a pain, and having CouchDB on both servers and client would make development life much easier for me.<p>If not, then publish the replication protocol. I tried looking for it once, and only found scant information on the mailing lists and documentation.
Is Damien Katz still involved or completely moved onto the Membase...Couchio...Couchbase entity now?<p>I like the layout and high contrast of the new site. My only comment is perhaps a header link to the "Quick Links" at the footer. I tend to want to look at documentation quite a bit and the scroll to the footer was not intuitive.
Great news. CouchDB is still living. The change log is impressive.<p>However, it is worth to mention that the database file format has changed. Once on 1.2 your files get upgraded to the new format. There is no going back.
Still no C API/Library/Tutorial. I just sent an email to the dev list, but for anyone interested: check out pouch [0], a library I wrote.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/peterldowns/pouch" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/peterldowns/pouch</a>
YAY!
Seeing as this included snappy compression the last time I checked, I might be able to replace the "couchbase single server" with the couchdb 1.2 release. Anybody tried that upgrade?
