Congratulations to everyone who helped make this release a reality! This

Apache CouchDB® lets you access your data where you need it. The Couch
Replication Protocol is implemented in a variety of projects and products that
span every imaginable computing environment from globally distributed
server-clusters, over mobile phones to web browsers.
Store your data safely, on your own servers, or with any leading cloud
provider. Your web- and native applications love CouchDB, because it speaks
JSON natively and supports binary data for all your data storage needs.
The Couch Replication Protocol lets your data flow seamlessly between server
clusters to mobile phones and web browsers, enabling a compelling offline-first
user-experience while maintaining high performance and strong reliability.
CouchDB comes with a developer-friendly query language, and optionally
MapReduce for simple, efficient, and comprehensive data retrieval.
