The folks behind Object DB CouchDB released version 1.0, marking an important milestone for the still new DB.
- Speed — writes are 300% faster for large documents, compared to the previous release;
- Microsoft Windows support;
- Authentication system — write CouchApps without having to create a user model;
- Replicator options — flexibility to use replication to build custom systems.
I like that CouchIO, the commercial arm behind CouchDB, is offering free hosting, so everybody can try it out, no questions asked.
