About Beta Builds

Beta release is a way for you to test the latest functionality of a release before it is generally available. These will eventually become production releases with full support when they are stable and features are complete.

Heya,

This announcement calls the current release "Couchbase Lite 2.0 Beta". However, it appears to be available as "2.0DB022" on Github. Has the naming changed as release nears, or is this intended to be referred to as "Developer Build 22"?

It appears that Sync Gateway 1.5 is no longer supported as of this build, in contrast to DB021, and SG 2.0 beta is now required. Is that right? (I guess this makes my earlier comments about the now-corrected configuration docs moot…)

thanks,

Hey Ben

Yes- it's a bit confusing. CBL 2.0 Beta is the same as DB 022.

Yes, You need SG 2.0 as of this build
