Fitting with the fact that PouchDB turned five years old this year, we’re proud to announce PouchDB 5.0.0. This release contains the usual number of bugfixes and improvements, as well as several deprecations, since it is a major version bump.
The biggest news in terms of features is support for _bulk_get, which is a new CouchDB API that enables vastly faster replication, set to be debuted in CouchDB 2.0. This API is also shipped in the newly-released PouchDB Server 1.0.0, meaning you can test out the faster replication now
