Hi,

I just found out that _bulk_docs now needs a correct Content-Type set. I 
wanted to add this information to the breaking changes wiki page, but I 
can't log in atm (this has happened before). So I post it to the list, 
so people hopefully not forget it :)

If you want to use the bulk API you need to set the Content-Type to 
"application/json" this behaviour was introduced in r957422. This is a 
breaking change as clients now need to send special headers.

I saw a mail from davisp where he asked why this change was made, sadly 
no reply.

Cheers,
   Volker
