Oh shit oh no, I’m so sorry.

German mainstream media, even the public ones, is *obsessed* with this. The end result is that the absolute worst people get to have an uninformed hot take on every important issue and we never get anywhere with the discourse. It’s infuriating to watch.

Not so trivial then

JSC no, V8 yes, it’s even worse with the API changes. We need this to be stable for years, not change every six weeks.

- native support for UUIDv7
- substantial speedups for bulk operations, purge operations and any btree operations by introducing a cache
- support for Debian Trixie
- Erlang 26 as minimum version
- Allow safe downgrading of CouchDB versions

Which makes it a pretty cool release :)

AMA.

Most surprising though is that the scanner found more differences in SpiderMonkey versions (1.8.5, 76, 81, 115, 128) than SpiderMonkey vs QuickJS. We’ve copiously documented the differences: docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/be...

That said, the 3.5.1 highlights aside from bugfixes are:

…

Since version 3.4 which introduced QuickJS, CouchDB ships with a background scanner module that will urn your SpiderMonkey JS in QuickJS and reports any incompatibilities. That you you can know ahead of time if it is safe to migrate:

- we even had to ship 3.5.1 with just QuickJS because RHEL/Alma 10 doesn’t do SM anymore at all.

QuickJS is smaller, faster, lower memory footprint and we made it safe to migrate.

Shit, I’m sorry! :(

Fucking hell, hope you’re okay soon!

I’m filled with hope like nothing else does every time I see them.

He never worked for me as bond, but here and now. Yeap.

I can’t make it this year but it’d be so lovely to see you there. Hopefully next year!
