>> Dear CouchDB team,
>>
>> While we're all working on 2.0 is in progress, I fear that we'll end
>> this year without a single release. Technically, there is only one
>> month left till 2016 excluding holidays, but let's be honest - that's
>> not enough for 2.0. So I propose the plan for 1.7 release to not end
>> this year with empty list.
>>
>> There are a couple of important changes that we have for it and users
>> are waiting for. Primary is the Erlang 18 compatibility, but not only.
>>
>> What we already have on 1.x.x branch:
>>
>> - COUCHDB-1011: replicate by document ids from futon
>> - COUCHDB-1275: decode database names in recent used list
>> - COUCHDB-2225 Enforce that shared libraries can be built by the system
>> - COUCHDB-2430: Disable Nagle's algorithm
>> - COUCHDB-2583: fix connection dropping by the resources which doesn't
>> require any payload
>> - COUCHDB-2761: Support glibc >= 2.20
>> - COUCHDB-2783: Bind both to IPv4 and IPv6
>> - Futon: Fixed potential XSS issue in jquery.ui
>> - jquery.couch: Fixed document copying
>> - sslv3 support is deprecated
>> - Support for user configurable SSL ciphers
>> - Multiple minor documentation fixes
>> - Support Erlang 18
>>
>> What we can backport without worry:
>>
>> - COUCHDB-1356: Return username on POST to /_session
>> - COUCHDB-1447: X-Couch-* headers missed if custom headers were returned
>> - COUCHDB-1964: eunit test suite
>> - COUCHDB-2310: /db/_bulk_get
>> - COUCHDB-2375: Respond with HTTP 400 Bad Request on invalid revision
>> number
>> - COUCHDB-2534: db security should respect authed users
>> - COUCHDB-2732: Use thread local storage for couch_ejson_compare NIF
>> - COUCHDB-2752: Validate Host header
>> - COUCHDB-2873: Update snappy to 1.1.3
>> - Multiple improvements that we have for replicator
>>
>> What I would like to add:
>>
>> - COUCHDB-2722: Keys from rewrited query params should be blank when
>> not specified in the URI
>> - COUCHDB-2874: Rewrites via query server
>> - COUCHDB-2877: Return nicer error for bad Authorization header
>> - Deprecation of /_log
>> - Deprecation of OAuth auth
>> - Enable CORS by default:
>> https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#basic-safe-cors-protocol-setup
>> - Remove Fauxton - AFAIK, it supports 1.x no more and current version
>> in 1.x.x branch is heavily outdated.
>> - Mark this release as LTS with short (really) cycle of bug fixes ship
>>
>> Questionalbe:
>> - Add systemd notification support.
>>
>> May be we can also include else experimental features, like JWT and/or
>> Delegated auth. Personally, I would like to see them, but it's all up
>> to you Klaus and Jan (;
>>
>> But even without these experimental features, we have quite long list
>> of changes to ship.
>>
>> The plan is simple: for November get all from backport and add lists
>> into 1.x.x branch and ship 1.7 in first half of December. Quite good
>> Christmas Eve present for everyone. Personal deadlines 30th November
>> and 20th December respectively.
>>
>> Since "everyone is busy on 2.0" I'll take care of this.
>>
>> P.S. If someone has else important bugfixes on mind to include, please
>> drop a notice. For 2.0 we have ETOOMANY useful changes, but I would
>> like to stop only on really important ones. Like replicator ones as I
>> mentioned.
