Which ForestDB version is used in Couchbase Server CE 6.5.1?

Couchbase Server

Hello,

is anywhere documented which ForestDB version is available in each Couchbase Community server? This information is not clear from the release notes.

On the ForestDB GitHub page I read: “Production builds were kept on an earlier release branch named ‘watson’ corresponding to Couchbase Server 4.5. Couchbase Server 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, and 6.0 added some bug fixes on branches made from ‘watson’, namely ‘spock’ and ‘vulcan’. For Couchbase Server 6.5 and forward, a new branch ‘cb-master’ was created from the then-current ‘vulcan’ branch.”

Do we need to rely on the branch name , assuming the branch name corresponds to a version?

Thank you

@gmaggini Usually there is a manifest file with each version. For example for 6.5.1 it is here https://github.com/couchbase/manifest/blob/master/couchbase-server/mad-hatter.xml

Thank you !

Indeed the 6.5.1 mad-hatter.xml file you mentioned reports forestdb uses version cb-master, which is the latest as per this sentence from the repo:

For Couchbase Server 6.5 and forward, a new branch ‘cb-master’ was created from the then-current ‘vulcan’ branch.

‘cb-master’ should be seen as the equivalent of ‘master’ for all Couchbase Server production build purposes. Any additional production bug fixes will go there, and release-specific branches will be made from there when necessary.
