I'm happy to announce the release of PouchDB 6.4.0, bringing in a number of important features and fixes. For a full changelog from 6.3.0 to 6.4.0 please see the releases page. Some of the highlights:
Add update_seq option to allDocs() and query()
#6230 - Dale Harders added support for passing update_seq: true to either allDocs() or query() or will return the current databases update_seq.
Add pending property
#5710 - Dale also added support for passing through the pending property newly implemented in CouchDB that reports the number of pending documents to replicate.
Use a single transaction for allDocs with keys requests
#6854 - @nename0 implemented an optimisation to use a single transaction in indexedDB and WebSQL for allDocs requests with keys. This seen a huge 8X speedup in Chrome and 2X in Firefox.
Add support to store cookies on Node.js
#6814 - @ptitjes fixed HTTP requests in Node.JS to ensure they use a cookie jar.
