1.18. 1.0.x Branch — Apache CouchDB® 3.5 Documentation

# 1.18. 1.0.x Branch

## 1.18.1. Upgrade Notes

Note, to replicate with a 1.0 CouchDB instance you must first upgrade in-place your current CouchDB to 1.0 or 0.11.1 – backporting so that 0.10.x can replicate to 1.0 wouldn’t be that hard. All that is required is patching the replicator to use the `application/json` content type.

- `_log` and `_temp_views` are now admin-only resources.

- `_bulk_docs` now requires a valid Content-Type header of `application/json`.

- JSONP is disabled by default. An .ini option was added to selectively enable it.

- The `key`, `startkey` and `endkey` properties of the request object passed to list and show functions now contain JSON objects representing the URL encoded string values in the query string. Previously, these properties contained strings which needed to be converted to JSON before using.

Warning

Version 1.0.4 contains important security fixes. Previous 1.0.x releases are not recommended for regular usage.
