CouchDB 3.4.1 Released

Curious to hear who is using it still. I experimented with it 2010/2011 IIRC but never build a real project with it.

CouchDB was always a curious product that asked the question, &quot;what would happen if your database and your application server were the same product?&quot;<p>Unfortunately I think the answer was nobody would use it.

In the release notes highlights:<p>&gt; Optionally replace md5 with xxHash for data integrity checksums. 30% speed up on larger (128k) docs, no difference for smaller docs.<p>Happy to see xxHash getting more and more popular!

I think there’s a small oversight in the release notes:<p>&gt; In that case, upgrade to 3.4.0 without changing the default and enable xxHash in 3.5.0 or later so you can roll back to 3.4.0 then.<p>This should probably say 3.4.1, not 3.4.0, in the two places in that sentence where it says 3.4.0. Right?

Does it still use a version of spidermonkey from the early 2010&#x27;s?
