A milestone not exactly noticeable from the commits: clustered db and =
view
_compact, cluster-wide view cleanup

* * *

As a reminder from last time: A few things that we have to do during the
RC-phase:

- double, triple, and quadruple-check all LICENSE and NOTICE files to =
adhere to
ASF policy and to make sure we don=E2=80=99t pull in any incompatible =
licenses (e.g.
*GPL) as dependencies.

- docs: make sure we get docs.couchdb.org up to speed with 2.0 so it =
makes sense
to people who get started. This is mainly adding cluster bits, as most =
of the
rest stays the same.

- blog post series: is going well, thanks everybody! <3

- integrate the new logo everywhere (fauxton, docs, installers, website)

- prepare website update (should make big splash about cluster and =
replication,
and replication-family projects)

- update breaking changes docs

- update deprecations warnings and docs
  - specifically, Alexander Shorin is working on pulling together a =
1.7.0
release, that should include any deprecation warnings for things that =
are gone
in 2.0 and onwards (either temporarily or permanently). We should get =
1.7.0 out
at the same time or before 2.0. =E2=80=94 Alexander, what=E2=80=99s the =
state here?

Best
Bob
