                 Changes in version 0.4.2 (2026-07-21)                  

BUG FIXES

  - Fixed Rd markup for the CouchDB GET /{db} reference in db_compact()
    (lost braces note on CRAN checks; request from Kurt
    Hornik, 2026-07-20).
  - Replaced deprecated structure(..., .Names = ) with names = in design
    search examples and tests.
  - Corrected Eduard Szöcs's ORCID in DESCRIPTION (was accidentally
    duplicated from Scott Chamberlain).

                        Changes in version 0.4.1                        

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  - Updated package metadata and documentation links for CRAN.
  - Added a GitHub Actions check workflow for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  - Reworked tests to use a lightweight mocked CouchDB service by
    default, while preserving the option to test against a real CouchDB
    server with SOFA_TEST_REAL_COUCHDB=true.
  - Expanded test coverage across the package.

BUG FIXES

  - Fixed db_replicate() so replication targets use the supplied remote
    Cushion URL rather than assuming the old Cloudant URL pattern.
  - Fixed db_alldocs(..., disk=) to return the output file path as
    documented.
  - Fixed stale examples and verified documented examples against the
    mocked CouchDB test service.
  - Declared the cli test dependency used by testthat.

    username/password (#73)
  - new function db_bulk_get() for the /{db}/_bulk_get route (#73)
  - fixed design_search_many(): in couch v2.2 and greater there's a new

    this fxn now instead of using the /{db}/_design/{ddoc}/_view/{view}
    route (#75)
  - Cushion class gains new method $version() to get the CouchDB version
    you're using as a numeric (to enable progammatic couch version
    checking)

    stable, stale, and execution_stats (#74)

DEFUNCT

  - attach_get() is now defunct, use doc_attach_get() (#76)

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  - design_search() now allows more possible values for start and end
    keys: startkey_docid, start_key_doc_id, startkey, start_key,
    endkey_docid, end_key_doc_id, endkey, end_key (#62)
  - add title to vignettes (#71)
  - for docs_create() internally support using user's setting for the R
    option digits to pass on to jsonlite::toJSON to control number of
    digits after decimal place (#66)

NEW FEATURES

    POST request (#56)

    be passed to params or body (#56)
  - db_alldocs gains new parameter disk to optionally write data to disk
    instead of into the R session - should help when data is very large
    (if disk is used fxn returns a file path) (#64)

    v2 and greater (#53) (#54) (#47)
