1.16.1. Upgrade Notes

1.16.1.1. Modular Configuration Directories

CouchDB now loads configuration from the following places (glob(7) syntax) in order:

  • PREFIX/default.ini
  • PREFIX/default.d/*
  • PREFIX/local.ini
  • PREFIX/local.d/*

The configuration options for couchdb script have changed to:

  1. -a FILE     add configuration FILE to chain
  2. -A DIR      add configuration DIR to chain
  3. -n          reset configuration file chain (including system default)
  4. -c          print configuration file chain and exit

Show and List functions must have a new structure in 0.10. See Formatting_with_Show_and_List for details.

Reduce functions are now required to reduce the number of values for a key.

1.16.1.4. View query reduce parameter strictness

CouchDB now considers the parameter reduce=false to be an error for queries of map-only views, and responds with status code 400.
