This is our first as a TLP. -Damien ---- CouchDB is a distributed document-oriented database system written in Erlang. The project graduated to TLP in November 2008 and Damien Katz was approved as the Apache CouchDB PMC . - Community Damien Katz was named Erlanger of the Year at the 2008 Erlang User Conference in Stockholm for his work with CouchDB. Noah Slater is super awesome. Claims to have award as proof (other project members skeptical). - Development We are now looking to release CouchDB 0.9.0 in early January, our first a TLP and our first BETA release . New features currently in trunk for 0.9.0: - Security and data validation functionality - View server internals re-architecture to allow the ability to quickly read stale views as indexes are being updated. - Multi-key view lookup enhancements - Include_docs. Ability to load full documents with view rows. - Btree performance improvements - Faster and more compact internal JSON term format, that is also the new Erlang canonical JSON term format. Additionally, when a low level JSON parser is implemented in core Erlang, it is will use this format and we'll gain more performance for free. - Ability to run a CouchDB server right from the project source directory, for development purposes - Infrastructure We have now transfered all couchdb assets over to the final TLP locations, including the couchdb.apache.org site, the mailing lists and the SVN repositories. The last remaining item is to setup a redirect from incubator.apache.org/couchdb/ to couchdb.apache.org. We have a daily build site hosted by Jan Lenhardt. http://build.couchdb.org/
