I've got truly offline replication (as in you can run me on Android and your laptop and keep them synced via the cloud). Also, none of the other NoSQLs are really set up for schemaless queries like I am. Incremental map-reduce lets you normalize a bunch of different heterogenous document structures in your view, which is more flexible than the key-path indexes Mongo has, and more real-time than Hadoop/Google style ma…

Offline on Android support sounds really amazing. I'm poking around DroidCouch and only see a wrapper for the CouchDB REST API: http://github.com/sig/DroidCouch Should I be looking at another project for offline support?

couch hits a number of sweet spots. Documents can have attachments so you can build a complete application out of html,css, and javascript and have the entire app reside in a couch database. Coupled with P2P replication this make for some interesting possibilities. couch also inherits a lot from it's choice of implementation language, Erlang, and it's append-only storage design. A high level functional language such…

Are there any examples of applications being wholly hosted inside Couch?

there's also one of my favorites, Swinger, http://c.ixxr.net/swinger/_design/swinger/index.html#/ which is like powerpoint except it's free and it works. It's great for pitching to folks

What are the advantages / downsides of CouchDB compare with other schemaless DB like Mongodb, Redis, Tokyo Cabinet etc. ?

Changes since 0.11.1:

    * More efficient header commits.
    * Use O_APPEND to save lseeks.
    * Faster implementation of pread_iolist(). Further improves performance on concurrent reads.
    * Added authentication caching
    * Faster default view collation.
    * Added option to include update_seq in view responses.

The admin program (at http://localhost:5984/_utils if couch is installed and running) is such a program.

While there are a _number_ of 'in-production' right now, the one I can personally speak to is at https://connamara.cloudant.com/cme/_design/app/index.html [disclaimer: this is my employer].

For what it's worth, I must say that I was very impressed today with how much 'better behaved' this release was in comparison to bother previous "major" releases (0.11 for example) _and_ recent trunk snapshots. In particular, they seem to have ironed out the nagging dependency issues couch had displayed on debian-based installations and are now reliably passing all of the unit / end-to-end tests.

Great work.

If only it worked. The test suite is giving me a crapload of errors on *.couchone.com. I spent a couple hours getting it installed on my laptop (docs have incorrect dependencies among other things) and the first test just hangs. CouchDB 0.9?
