We’re super excited to announce that Couchbase Server 4.5 developer preview (DP) has been released! This is an early developer milestone release that comes with many awesome improvements for more efficient querying, advanced data access, powerful indexing, and more comprehensive administration.
Some of the notable features of this DP release include integrated query workbench, integrated full-text search, sub-document API, array indexing, extended N1QL join syntax, and more. This milestone on the way to the GA release also includes more platform coverage than before. We’ve introduced Debian 8 builds and this adds to the existing wide list of platforms we already run on (Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu, SuSE, Red Hat, Debian and even Oracle Linux).
The downloads are at the usual place along with the release notes. You can read more about the developer preview and you’ll also find a good intro in Don Pinto’s blog post.
The best way to give us feedback is to download the bits, look over the docs and post any feedback here or in our issue tracker.
If you’re a docker fan, check out how to dockerize Couchbase here and spin-up Couchbase 4.5 DP from docker hub.
We look forward to your feedback!
