- [FIXED] Type of
sinceSeq
can be also aString
besides anInteger
. - [DEPRECATED] This library is now deprecated and will be EOL on Dec 31 2021.
- [IMPROVED] - Document IDs and attachment names are now rejected if they could cause an unexpected Cloudant request. We have seen that some applications pass unsantized document IDs to SDK functions (e.g. direct from user requests). In response to this we have updated many functions to reject obviously invalid paths. However, for complete safety applications must still validate that document IDs and attachment names match expected patterns.
- [NEW] Add migration guide to the newly supported cloudant-java-sdk (coordinates: com.ibm.cloud:cloudant).
- [FIXED] Allow
$and
,$or
, and$nor

object ifdisk_size
is unavailable. - [FIXED]
ViewMultipleRequest
updated to preferentially use viewqueries
format URL instead of deprecated format.
- [FIXED] Create an array of strings for QueryBuilder.fields() when a single field is provided.
- [FIXED] Potential NPE creating exception messages.
- [IMPROVED] Return exceptions directly from IAM token request failures instead of logging and deferring the request to the service with no credentials. The exception type is the same, but the message and cause are more clear and a round trip is avoided.
- [IMPROVED] Prevent multiple session renewal requests happening simultaneously because some auth types apply limits to the number of requests that can be made.
- [IMPROVED] Documented that for some database versions a call to get continuous changes may block when there are no changes available immediately.
- [UPGRADED] Optional OkHttp dependency to version 3.12.5.
- [NEW] Added
com.cloudant.client.api.model.DbInfo#getDocDelCountLong()
to return deleted document count as along
instead of aString

AllDocsRequest
. - [FIXED] An issue where
getReason()
returned an incorrect value forResponse
objects returned byDatabase.bulk()
. - [FIXED] Added missing
_deleted
field toDocument
model class. - [BREAKING CHANGE] The fix which adds
_deleted
toDocument
model class will break (de)serialisation for classes which sub-classDocument
and themselves declare a field which implicitly or explicitly has the serialised name of_deleted
. The suggested work-around is to remove this field from classes which sub-classDocument
. For more details, see the javadoc forDocument
. - [DEPRECATED] OAuth authentication API
targetOauth
on theReplication
class. - [DEPRECATED]

never returns on receipt oflast_seq
for continuous changes feeds.
- [NEW] Added API for upcoming IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management support for Cloudant on IBM Cloud. Note: IAM API key support is not yet enabled in the service.

- [FIXED]
NullPointerException
when callingAllDocsResponse.getIdsAndRevs
for a request with multiple non-existent keys (IDs). - [IMPROVED] Preserved path elements from
URL
s used to construct aClientBuilder
. This allows, for example, aCloudantClient
connection to use a gateway with aURL
likehttps://testproxy.example.net:443/cloudant/mydb
. - [FIXED] Issue where DesignDocumentManager did not close a
FileInputStream
.
- [FIX]

an instance of a
Replay429Interceptor
with the desired number of retries and initial backoff:ClientBuilder.account("example").interceptors(new Replay429Interceptor(retries, initialBackoff))
A default instance is available using 3 retries and starting with a 250 ms backoff:Replay429Interceptor.WITH_DEFAULTS

indexes
field was updated. - [FIX] The
equals
andhashcode
methods forDocument
andReplicatorDocument
failed to compare revision identifier and some other fields. - [FIX] Issue where connections could leak because streams were not closed.

DesignDocument.MapReduce
now has a setter for thedbcopy
field. - [NEW] Requests for the
_all_docs
endpoint are made viaDatabase#getAllDocsRequestBuilder()
instead of using a view. - [NEW] Introduced new view query API. More information is available in the javadoc,
including usage and migration examples. Note the absence of an equivalent for
queryForStream()
. If you were using thequeryForStream()
method we would be interested in feedback about your use case. For example, if you were using theInputStream
directly for streaming API parsing with an alternative JSON library we might be able to make this easier by handling the streams and providing a callback. - [NEW] Optional OkHttp dependency for per CloudantClient instance connection pooling.
- [BREAKING CHANGE] Removed
Database.batch(Object)
method. Usingbatch=ok
is not recommended. - [BREAKING CHANGE] JVM

If you were using the
getFromDesk

objects. - [FIX] Use the default port for the protocol when a client instance is created from a URL without specifying a port.

can be called on theConnectOptions
object before you pass it to theCloudantClient
constructor. - [NEW] New API for specifying the SSLSocketFactory. This can used to
enhance security in specific environments. To set this SSLSocketFactory,
call the
setAuthenticatedModeSSLSocketFactory

constructor. - [NEW] New API for deleting databases,
CloudantClient.deleteDB(String name)
