New version! CouchDB 3.5.1 is now available. It is a maintenance release with a lot of bug fixes, but it also includes a number of substantial performance improvements: blog.couchdb.org/2025/11/11/3...

- native support for UUIDv7 - substantial speedups for bulk operations, purge operations and any btree operations by introducing a cache - support for Debian Trixie - Erlang 26 as minimum version - Allow safe downgrading of CouchDB versions Which makes it a pretty cool release :) AMA.

Most surprising though is that the scanner found more differences in SpiderMonkey versions (1.8.5, 76, 81, 115, 128) than SpiderMonkey vs QuickJS. We’ve copiously documented the differences: docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/be... That said, the 3.5.1 highlights aside from bugfixes are: …

Since version 3.4 which introduced QuickJS, CouchDB ships with a background scanner module that will urn your SpiderMonkey JS in QuickJS and reports any incompatibilities. That you you can know ahead of time if it is safe to migrate: neighbourhood.ie/blog/2024/09...

- we even had to ship 3.5.1 with just QuickJS because RHEL/Alma 10 doesn’t do SM anymore at all. QuickJS is smaller, faster, lower memory footprint and we made it safe to migrate.

We’ve lost a lot of developer hours to the fact that SpiderMonkey is fundamentally a JS engine for Firefox and not really set up to be a library. - we had to keep up with minute API changes across major versions - we have to support a wide range of versions due to spotty OS package support
