couchapp 0.7.2 released

[Benoit Chesneau]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of 0.7.2 . This release is now
based on latest restkit 2.3.1 so make sure to upgrade it [1] before
updating couchapp.

Changes from 0.7.0 are listed on github [2] . Packages for macosx and
windows will be uploaded today and separate announcements will be
posted on the ml :)

Next version will be 0.8 and will be out around christmas. Planned
features:

* improved support of vendors:

- Vendors will have the possibility to install their own views and
other functions (lists, shows, update, spatial, ...)
- Vendor search feature. If you created a vendor installable with
couchapp, please contact me, so we can start to build an index.

* autosync

Couchapp currently allows you via the autopush [3] feature to post doc
automatically in your CouchDB. 0.8 will improve that and will keep
your changes in synchronisation with your co-workers through the use
of
"_changes" notifications. So you will have the possibility to merge
and
view changes automatically. An API will also be available to use this
feature in your preferred editor. I will detail this features in the
coming days.

* improved debugging

jslint support will be integrated. Also some possibilities to get more
feeedback from your apps will be provided.

* extensions.

A system of extensions [4] is available in CouchApp since the 0.6
release. This system will be enhanced to allow the creation of
extensions in any languages, so you won't need to learn Python to add
your own feature to couchapp.


Enjoy,

- benoît
