+
+      $ CONNSTRING=couchbase://localhost/default?compression=deflate_only
+      $ cbc cat -U $CONNSTRING 00000000.json > bindoc.dat
+      00000000.json        CAS=0x15431f831dc60000, Flags=0x0, Size=739, Datatype=0x03(JSON,SNAPPY)
+
+## 2.9.3 (July 18 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-955](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-955): Parse uint32 as
+  unsigned ints instead of timeouts. Some settings were interpreted as time
+  values, while they should not (e.g. console_log_level, compression_min_size
+  etc). This issue forced the library to misinterpret user input (converter was
+  multiplying all values to 1000000, e.g. log level was always TRACE).
+
+* [CCBC-957](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-957): Automatically
+  disable SSL support, when OpenSSL is unavailable.
+
+* [CCBC-954](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-954): Define EFTYPE
+  error code if it does not exist. Fixes support of libuv 1.21 and higher.
+
+* [CCBC-951](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-951): Remove
+  experimental warning from subdoc API.
+
+* [CCBC-948](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-948): Consider retry
+  queue with only 0xb5 as empty. This allows a breakout from lcb_wait earlier
+  (when application operates in synchronous style). The old behavior, where
+  lcb_wait does not breakout until the library gets the first successful
+  configuration, still can be restored with `lcb_cntl(...,
+  LCB_CNTL_WAIT_FOR_CONFIG, ...)`.
+
+* [CCBC-939](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-939): Optimize
+  the performance of built-in tracer. It now uses sllist for tags container
+  instead of Json::Value.
+
+* [CCBC-958](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-958): Check tracing span
+  tags argument more pedantically and return error if arguments are not valid.
+
+* [CCBC-956](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-956): Combine operation
+  id and name into single field in the threshold tracer.
+
+* [CCBC-949](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-949): Do not hardcode
+  libevent dependencies in DEB packages. Instead let `dh_shlibdeps` script to
+  detect dependencies for each platform. This fixes a usless dependency on libevent-1
+  for ubuntu 18.04.
+
+* [CCBC-947](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-947): Fix build scripts
+for examples (when built with `-DLCB_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON`).
+
+And other small fixes and improvements.
+
+## 2.9.2 (June 22 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-946](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-946): Restore broken ABI in 360ea68ef7738d543bbd3feac3f2c3c6c8ff976b
+
+## 2.9.1 (June 22 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-942](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-942): Expose new error
+  codes for subdocument operations.
+
+* [CCBC-866](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-866): Check cached
+  provider isn't NULL.
+
+* [CCBC-890](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-890): Always check if SSL
+  used when getting ports.
+
+* [CCBC-945](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-945): Allow to specify
+  logger in lcb_create().
+
+* [CCBC-935](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-935): Display orphan
+  tracer report on WARN log level.
+
+* [CCBC-936](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-936): Update default
+  tracing interval to 10 seconds.
+
+* [CCBC-937](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-937): Implement support
+  for alternate addresses.
+
+* [CCBC-943](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-943): Implement option to
+  dump TCP packets.
+
+  This change introduces new cmake option, which will force library to report
+  all incoming/outgoing TCP packets on TRACE log level. It renders the bytes
+  in Base64 encoding.
+
+  Also there is simple extraction tool, which beautifies packet traces, and
+  could be used like this:
+
+      cbc cat  -vvv foo bar 2>&1 | tools/extract-packets.rb
+
+## 2.9.0 (May 24 2018)
+
+This release is mostly about API visibility bump from uncommited to committed,
+but also includes several bug fixes.
+
+* [CCBC-930](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-930): Dump threshold
+  logging tracer queues before destroying the tracer.
+
+* Updates in crypto API as per RFC. This basically change of the API (ABI has
+  preserved compatible, but `v0` crypto API will return runtime error with 2.9.0
+  library. From this release, all encryption key management encapsulated into
+  crypto provider, so it does not need to expose key loader interface. In
+  addition, that user API is changed to conform RFC, and use noun `fields`
+  instead of `document` (e.g. `lcbcrypt_encrypt_fields`).
+
+* [CCBC-925](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-925): Fix existence checks
+  for registered crypto providers.
+
+* [CCBC-924](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-924): Initialize flag for
+  JSON server feature. Otherwise it might be left uninitialized and the library
+  will send JSON datatype to servers, which do not support it.
+
+* [PCBC-543](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/PCBC-543), [CCBC-932](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-932), [CCBC-933](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-933): Update log levels
+
+## 2.8.7 (May 2 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-917](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-917): Add tracing for
+  observe. So now the library will group all CAS-observe operations, and in
+  general will nest observe operations under common parent when
+  `lcb_storedur3` API used.
+
+* [CCBC-918](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-918): Don't ping KV on
+  nodes without DATA service.
+
+* [CCBC-685](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-685): Implementation of
+  SCRAM-SHA{1,256,512} authentication mechanisms for KV service. Support for
+  SCRAM-SHA* SASL auth is disabled by default, because it is not portable, and
+  not every Couchbase service supports it. But if it is necessary, it could be
+  enabled using `lcb_cntl(..., LCB_CNTL_FORCE_SASL_MECH, ...)` operation, or
+  `"force_sasl_mech=SCRAM-SHA512"` option in connection string.
+
+* [CCBC-919](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-919): More granular
+  settings for compression. Now it is possible to specify minimum size of the
+  value to be considered for compression, and also the minimal ratio
+  `(compressed / original)`. See `LCB_CNTL_COMPRESSION_MIN_SIZE` (or
+  `"compression_min_size=100"` in bytes), and `LCB_CNTL_COMPRESSION_MIN_RATIO`
+  (or `"compression=0.9"`).
+
+* [CCBC-916](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-916): Do not set JSON
+  datatype if server didn't ack it. Fixes behavior where old server rejecting
+  commands as invalid when compression is enabled.
+
+* [CCBC-923](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-923): Allow to disable
+  fast-forward map for NMV handler. See `LCB_CNTL_VB_NOREMAP`
+  (`"vb_noremap=true"`). This option is disabled by default.
+
+Build improvements:
+
+* [CCBC-915](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-915): Fix builds
+  where DEBUG macro is defined
+
+* [CBD-2405](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CBD-2405): Change
+  target names in conflict with Server targets
+
+## 2.8.6 (April 5 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-888](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-888): Add threshold
+  logging tracer, which tracks and reports above threshold and orphaned operations.
+  This is beta functionality, which is disabled by default. To enable it, use
+  `enable_tracing=on` in the connection string.
+
+* [CCBC-910](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-910): Field encryption
+  API. The `lcbcrypto_*` functions abstracts encrypted field layout from actual
+  crypto implementations (OpenSSL, libsodium, etc.). The wrapper or application
+  using libcouchbase is expected to connect their own crypto and key providers, while
+  libcouchbase provides transformation of the encrypted data. See
+  sample crypto provider in [example/crypto](example/crypto).
+
+* [CCBC-904](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-904): Remove trailing
+  comma in `lcb_KVBUFTYPE` enum. Fixes build on some older
+  compilers.
+
+* [CCBC-907](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-907): cbc-n1qlback: Do
+  not require trailing empty line for input.
+
+* [CCBC-908](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-908): cbc-n1qlback:
+  Report number of loaded queries.
+
+* Add ability to write OPS/SEC from cbc-pillowfight to a file
+
+      cbc-pillowfight 2> /tmp/stats.txt
+
+  or, when writing to terminal required
+
+      cbc-pillowfight 2>&1 | tee /tmp/stats.txt
+
+* Build improvements for easier integration into with server manifest (and TLM project).
+
+## 2.8.5 (February 23 2018)
+
+* [CCBC-883](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-883): Always use built-in compression.
+  It is not possible to unbundle the Snappy library, as libcouchbase uses the C++ API which is not
+  exported in the headers. Also, compression can now work on all types of buffers, including
+  `LCB_KV_IOV` and `LCB_KV_IOVCOPY`. This fixes compression in `cbc-pillowfight` tool.
+
+* [CCBC-895](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-895): Fix typo in rendering IPv6 addresses
+  in `lcb_diag`.
+
+* [CCBC-879](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-879): Implement log redaction. When
+  `log_redaction=on` is specified in the connection string, the library will wrap sensitive
+  data in the logs in special tags, which can be processed by the
+  `cblogredaction` tool from the server distribution.
+
+* [CCBC-893](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-894): Updated list of subdoc error codes.
+
+* [CCBC-892](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-892): Enable the SSL trust store to be in
+  a separate file. Trust store has to be specified with option `truststorepath=…`, otherwise
+  the library will expect it to be stored with the certificate in `certpath=`.
+
+* [CCBC-888](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-888): Per operation tracing. When
+  compiled with tracing support (`cmake -DLCB_TRACING=ON`), the library will expose the tracing
+  API, which allows to measure time of every data operation, and include some extra information.
+  The API is modeled after OpenTracing and allows one to write custom tracers to consume this
+  information. For more information, see an example in
+  [example/tracing/tracing.c](example/tracing/tracing.c).  This is uncommitted API at this time.
+
+  Also this feature includes support for new type of the server responses, which include
+  time spent to execute the KV command on the server. This feature controlled by `enable_tracing`
+  option in connection string or `lcb_cntl(..., LCB_CNTL_ENABLE_TRACING, ...)`.
+
+* Added basic support of JSON datatype. The library will negotiate a mode, in which the
+  application will see `LCB_VALUE_F_JSON` flag on datatype field of the response in the
+  operation callback, if the cluster  detected the content of the document to be valid JSON.
+  Also the application can send this flag on the outgoing documents to notify the server
+  about payload format.
+
+* Refresh dtrace/systemtap integration. Also adds tapset for SystemTap to simplify access to
+  trace points.
+
+* cbc-pillowfight improvements and changes:
+  * dump diagnostics on `SIGQUIT` (CTRL-\ in terminal).
+  * with `-J`/`--json`, the JSON datatype will be sent on the documents.
+  * enable randomized document bodies with `-R`/`--random-body` switch.
+  * durability checks for pillowfight with `--persist-to`/`--replicate-to`.
+  * pessimistic locking of keys before updating with `--lock`.
+  * when requesting timings with `-T`/`--timings`, the application will no longer dump them
+    periodically.Instead it will await for the user to signal `SIGQUIT` and also dump
+    them on exit. The old mode of reporting regularly is enabled by repeating the switch more than
+    once (e.g. `-TT`).
+
+* Added the cbc-watch command to monitor server stats. By default it tracks `cmd_total_ops`,
+  `cmd_total_gets` and `cmd_total_sets` updating stats once a second, and displaying
+  diff with the previous value.
+
+
+## 2.8.4 (December 20 2017)
+
+* [CCBC-880](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-880): Implement x.509 client
+  certificate authentication. Connection string must use TLS-enabled scheme
+  (`couchbases://` or `https://`) and set options `certpath` and `keypath`. For example,
+
+        couchbases://127.0.0.1?certpath=/path/to/chain.pem&keypath=/path/to/client.key
+
+  Read more at server docs: https://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/server/5.0/security/security-x509certsintro.html
+
+* [CCBC-883](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-883): Revisit builtin compression
+  implementation (snappy). Add compression to cbc tools (see `--compress`, `-y` options).
+  Future versions of Couchbase Server will have end-to-end compression.
+
+* [CCBC-885](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-885): Do not skip HTTP Basic
+  authentication when password is empty.
+
+* [CCBC-876](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-876): Make sure that server
+  authority is always specified.  In some cases, when libcouchbase generates vbucket
+  configuration or data service is not available, the authority of the server might be
+  NULL.  This could cause issues, as we compare servers from configs using their authority
+  fields.
+
+* [CCBC-878](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-878): Support collections in
+  cbc-pillowfight.
+
+  Note that this change does not expose anything related to Collections API for
+  libcouchbase. It defines hidden switches for pillowfight tool to allow benchmark of
+  collections. The switches are not documented and might be removed in the future. Use
+  with care.
+
+  Generate only `beer:<seqno>` keys:
+
+        cbc pillowfight --separator : --collection beer
+
+  Using many --collection will alternate in generating `beer:<seqno>`, `brewery:<seqno>`
+  keys (default separator is ":"):
+
+        cbc pillowfight --collection beer --collection brewery
+
+* [CCBC-801](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-801): Expose information about
+  network IO for monitoring. The diagnostics exposed as string with encoded JSON object.
+
+        void diag_callback(lcb_t instance, int cbtype, const lcb_RESPBASE *rb)
+        {
+            const lcb_RESPDIAG *resp = (const lcb_RESPDIAG *)rb;
+            if (resp->rc != LCB_SUCCESS) {
+                fprintf(stderr, "failed: %s ", lcb_strerror(NULL, resp->rc));
+            } else {
+                if (resp->njson) {
+                    fprintf(stderr, "%.*s", (int)resp->njson, resp->json);
+                }
+            }
+        }
+
+        lcb_install_callback3(instance, LCB_CALLBACK_DIAG, diag_callback);
+        lcb_CMDDIAG cmd = { 0 };
+        lcb_diag(instance, NULL, &cmd);
+        lcb_wait(instance);
+
+* [CCBC-874](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-874): Dynamic authenticator. Note
+  that this feature should not be considered at public interface. To use it, application
+  have to define two callbacks, which will return username and password dependending on
+  bucket name and hostname/port of the endpoint.
+
+        std::map< std::string, std::string > credentials = {
+            {"protected", "secret"}
+        };
+        extern "C" {
+          static const char *get_username(void *cookie,
+                                          const char *host,
+                                          const char *port,
+                                          const char *bucket)
+          {
+              return bucket;
+          }
+
+          static const char *get_password(void *cookie,
+                                          const char *host,
+                                          const char *port,
+                                          const char *bucket)
+          {
+              std::map< std::string, std::string > *credentials =
+                  static_cast<std::map< std::string, std::string > *>(cookie);
+              return (*credentials)[bucket].c_str();
+          }
+        }
+
+
+   and later pass these callbacks to authenticator like this:
+
+
+        lcb_AUTHENTICATOR *auth = lcbauth_new();
+        lcbauth_set_callbacks(auth, &credentials, get_username, get_password);
+        lcbauth_set_mode(auth, LCBAUTH_MODE_DYNAMIC);
+        lcb_set_auth(instance, auth);
+
+* Include platform/compiler into client id, which included into HELLO and HTTP requests.
+
+* Fix parallel build on Linux when dtrace enabled
+
+* cbc-proxy: proxy N1QL, FTS and Analytics queries using STAT command.
+
+## 2.8.3 (November 21 2017)
+
+* [CCBC-415](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-415): Fixes in IPv6 support.
+  To use IPv6 addresses, the application should connect to IPv6-enabled Couchbase Server,
+  and explicitly switch on option via connection string `ipv6=allow` or `ipv6=only`,
+  where first variant permits the library to use both IPv6 and IPv4, and the second --
+  disables IPv4. Alternatively this setting controlled with `LCB_CNTL_IP6POLICY` and
+  `lcb_cntl`.
+
+* [CCBC-872](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-872): Metrics management
+  These metrics are intended at providing information on libcouchbase operations performed
+  over the lifetime of the current `lcb_t` instance (processed request packets, processed
+  response packets, request packets pending emission, server errors, server timeouts,
+  misrouted operations, retried operations).
+
+  Metrics collection is currently disabled by default. To enable metrics collection,
+  the user should call:
+
+        int activate = 1;
+        lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_SET, LCB_CNTL_METRICS, &activate);
+
+  Access to the collected metrics is done using:
+
+        lcb_METRICS* my_metrics;
+        lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_GET, LCB_CNTL_METRICS, &my_metrics);
+
+* [CCBC-870](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-870): Fix updating URL on retry. When retrying HTTP request, instead of replacing just `host:port` part of the old URL, the library inserted full URL.
+
+* [CCBC-547](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-547): Detect dead sockets under libuv.
+
+* Ensure macros safe by surrounding values with parentheses
+
+## 2.8.2 (October 17 2017)
+
+* [CCBC-833](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-833), [CCBC-834](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-834):
+  Update real cluster integration in the test suite.
+
+* [CCBC-860](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-860): cbc-connstr: Do not zero out C++ instances.
+
+* [CCBC-859](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-859): Fix libm shared object detection on Debian 9.
+
+* Bugs reported by [clang analyzer](http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/):
+
+  * [CCBC-858](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-858): Fix memory leak for compressed packet.
+  * [CCBC-857](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-857): Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in `mcreq_reserve_key`.
+  * [CCBC-856](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-856): Initialize response struct in `H_config`.
+  * [CCBC-855](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-855): Fix dead assignments in `contrib/genhash`.
+  * [CCBC-854](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-854): Init vbguess array before entry lookup.
+  * [CCBC-853](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-853): cbc-proxy: do not use client object after free.
+  * [CCBC-852](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-852): Do not free memory twice in N1QL index manager.
+
+## 2.8.1 (September 20 2017)
+
+* Check nodes number for durability checks. The store with durability
+  requirements will report more specific error when the library cannot
+  fulfill the condition during failover.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-817](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-817)
+
+* Handle enhanced error messages for subdoc operations. The subdoc
+  responses will now expose context and reference ID if present.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-846](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-846)
+
+* Discover and bootstrap analytics service from cluster configuration.

+
+* Improve documentation of configuration parameters.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-835](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-835)
+
+* Enable Error Map feature by default.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-838](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-838)
+
+* Cleanup and extend `minimal`, `libeventdirect`, `instancepool` examples
+
+* Tools:
+  * improve error reporting
+  * experimental subcommand `cbc-proxy`
+  * fix memory leaks
+  * retry store operations during population phase in `cbc-pillowfight`
+
+## 2.8.0 (August 31 2017)
+
+* Add support for OpenSSL-1.1.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-814](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-814)
+
+* Mask `LOCKED` status code for backward compatibility. This code
+  (as well as others possible codes with 'item-locked' attribute)
+  replaced with `LCB_KEY_EEXISTS` for `SET`, `REPLACE` and `DELETE`
+  operations, and with `LCB_ETMPFAIL` for the rest.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-832](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-832)
+
+* Stop enumerating bootstrap nodes and mechanisms when the server
+  returns authentication error.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-825](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-825)
+
+* Fixed double free error with `lcb_ping3`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-826](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-826)
+
+* Exposed additional N1QL query parameters: `lcb_n1p_readonly`,
+  `lcb_n1p_scancap`, `lcb_n1p_pipelinecap`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-823](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-823)
+
+* Fixed `cbc-subdoc/upsert` without XATTR.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-823](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-823)
+
+* XERROR attributes synchronized with recent list on server.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-828](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-828)
+
+* Add missing documentation, and update stability of the API.
+  * Issues:
+  [CCBC-830](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-830),
+  [CCBC-831](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-831),
+  [CCBC-827](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-827)
+
+* Do not throttle background configuration polling by throttle interval
+  of configuration error handler.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-829](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-829)
+
+* Turn on background polling by default. The library will try
+  to schedule configuration update every 2.5 seconds. To disable it
+  use `config_poll_interval=0`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-836](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-836)
+
+## 2.7.7 (August 17 2017)
+
+* Implement new function `lcb_ping3`, which sends NOOP-like message to
+  each service in the cluster and allows to measure latency along with
+  health status of the connection. Might be useful for application-side
+  keep-alive mechanisms.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-801](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-801)
+
+* Detect and expose bucket type through `LCB_CNTL_BUCKETTYPE`:
+
+        lcb_BTYPE type;
+        lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_GET, LCB_CNTL_BUCKETTYPE, &type);
+
+  * Issues: [CCBC-790](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-790)
+
+* Fixed setting expiration in subdoc mutations.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-799](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-816)
+
+* Fixed DNS SRV support of Fedora 26 and FreeBSD.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-816](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-816)
+
+* Fixed DNS SRV with SSL connections.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-794](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-794)
+
+* Define EREMOTEIO in libuv
+  * Issues: [CCBC-812](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-812)
+
+* New subdocument command to remove whole document
+  * Issues: [CCBC-811](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-811)
+
+* New cbc command: `cbc-subdoc`. It provides interactive shell, where
+  all subdocument commands accessible to inspect and modify documents
+  in the cluster.
+
+* New cbc command: `cbc-ping`. It sends NOOP-like messages to all accessible
+  services in the cluster, and displays the status along with latency.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-801](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-801)
+
+* Fix `cbc-cat --replica`, which now allows reading documents from replicas.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-820](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-820)
+
+* Implement NOOP command and `cbc-pillowfight --noop`, which sends NOOP
+  instead of data manipulation commands.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-801](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-801)
+
+* Clarify errors found in `.cbcrc`. Now it will display configuration path
+  along with error message.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-759](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-759]
+
+* Update examples:
+  * Support username/password in subdoc and libeventdirect examples
+  * Added example for subdoc XATTRs
+
+* Integrate fix for parallel build with dtrace on FreeBSD
+  https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/a71e1a86b851d42cd08319d9b28a4424e508e216
+
+* Make enhanced errors API public
+  * Issues: [CCBC-803](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-803)
+
+* Fixed various compiler and cppcheck warnings and documentation update.
+
+## 2.7.6 (July 11 2017)
+
+* Expose enhanced errors for data commands. Couchbase Server 5 might return
+  additional information about errors in the response body. According to
+  SDK-RFC-28, the library allow user code to inspect this information using
+  following functions:
+
+    * `lcb_resp_get_error_context(int, const lcb_RESPBASE *)`
+    * `lcb_resp_get_error_ref(int, const lcb_RESPBASE *)`
+
+  They both return non-NULL strings if any of error information accessible.
+  The lifetime of these fields limited by lifetime of the response object.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-781](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-781)
+
+* Report contextualized error messages during negotiation. The event reference
+  could be used to find more details about authentication errors in the server
+  logs.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-780](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-780)
+
+* Specify correct protocol level for `SO_KEEPALIVE`. This fixes setting
+  `tcp_keepalive` option on connections.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-798](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-798)
+
+* Implement Error Map Retries. This implements the mechanics needed to retry
+  commands on various errors based on dynamic settings supplied via the error map.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-783](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-783)
+
+* Add cluster admin provider. This provider doesn't do anything except serve
+  as a source of management hostnames. And the library will fall back to it
+  when bucket is not specified for cluster management connections.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-797](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-797)
+
+* Implement RBAC user management in cbc tools. In addition to `examples/users`,
+  this can be a demonstration of new security APIs which appear in Couchbase
+  Server 5.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-757](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-757)
+
+* Allow to inspect query errors in `cbc-n1qlback`. The command will write
+  details for failed queries to file, specified with option `--error-log`.
+
+* Fix memory leak in io::Pool
+  * Issues: [CCBC-791](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-791)
+
+* Fix `LCB_SDCMD_GET_FULLDOC`. This would not actually work beforehand
+  because the opcode it's mapped to is 0, and we used 0 as a sentinel
+  value for an invalid opcode within the subdoc implementation.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-792](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-792)
+
+* Add LCB_NOT_AUTHORIZED error code. This error code maps to
+  Memcached's EACCESS
+
+* Don't send empty Authorization header for HTTP requests, If there's
+  no username and/or password
+  * Issues: [CCBC-789](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-789)
+
+* Internal refactoring:
+  - `io::Pool` - remove empty dtor
+  - Fix `BadPluginEnvironment` test on Fedora where libm.so is ld script
+  - Add missing commands for `cbc-help`
+
+* Documentation update:
+  - Add additional documentation for `lcb_n1ql_cancel()`
+  - Typos
+
+## 2.7.5 (May 17 2017)
+
+* Allow to disable sending the `HELLO` command when connecting to a server.
+  Sending `HELLO` will cause a bootstrap failure with Couchbase Server 2.0 and
+  older.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-786](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-786)
+
+* Fix error return value on reprepared query.
+  Previously an error was returned if a N1QL query was reprepared, because
+  the prior internal failure status was not updated.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-782](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-782)
+
+* Check for more N1QL error strings indicating the need to reprepare a statement.
+
+* Fix uninitialized memory issue when initializing `lcb::Server` and `mc_PIPELINE`
+
+* Couchbase 5.0 additions for Subdocument.
+  This adds new protocol extensions for Couchbase 5.0. This consists of:
+  * New `LCB_SDCMD_SET_FULLDOC` and `LCB_SDCMD_GET_FULLDOC` for full-doucument
+    gets and sets via the subdoc API. This allows to access xattrs atomically
+    with the document body.
+  * New 'document flags'. These are in the form of `LCB_CMDSUBDOC_F_`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-774](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-774)
+
+* Fix bug where CCCP subsystem would be suspended indefinitely.
+  CCCP subsystem would hang if an error was received for the config request
+  itself.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-779](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-779)
+
+* Fix bootstrap with `LCB_TYPE_CLUSTER`. Previously bootstrap would fail because
+  the client would not send proper credentials. Note that at this point, the
+  `default` bucket must still exist.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-778](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-778)
+
+* Ignore empty DNS SRV replies.
+  Some buggy DNS configurations return positive replies to SRV queries, but
+  without actually containing any kind of A record as a response.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-776](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-776)
+
+* Enable background polling for configuration changes.
+  This allows the client to periodically poll for configuration changes. This
+  feature is disabled by default. You can use the `config_poll_interval`
+  setting to enable it in the connection string.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-627](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-627)
+
+* Enable TCP Keepalive for newly created sockets.
+  Newly created sockets have TCP keepalive enabled in order to avoid firewalls
+  breaking connections due to inactivity. TCP Keepalive does not yet work for
+  the libuv plugin (e.g. nodejs).
+  You can use the `tcp_keepalive=false` directive in the connection string
+  to disable it.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-690](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-690)
+
+## 2.7.4 (April 18 2017)
+
+* Send `SELECT_BUCKET` command by default if server supports it. This enables
+  new-style 'RBAC' authentication by default. In 2.7.3 users were required to
+  use `select_bucket=true` in the connection string to enable this feature.
+  In this version, the option is still available but is now mainly useful to
+  disable it.
+
+* Improve `lcb_AUTHENTICATOR` API. This provides better documentation and some
+  API/design/implementation fixes to the authenticator interface. The
+  authenticator may be useful for integrators/wrappers who wish to correlate
+  multiple credentials with their buckets.
+  Note that the use of `lcb_AUTHENTICATOR` is *not* required for RBAC support.
+  In order to use RBAC, simply make use of the `username` field in
+  the `lcb_create_st` struct, or the `username` parameter in the connection
+  string.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-751](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-751)
+
+* Fix bug where `lcb_get_server_list()` would return NULL.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-764](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-764)
+
+* Fix bug where client would not recover from failover. Clients from version
+  2.7.1 through 2.7.3 would not obtain a new cluster map after a node had
+  been failed over (e.g. by hitting the "fail over" button in the UI).
+  * Issues: [CCBC-761](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-761)
+
+## 2.7.3 (March 21 2017)
+
+* Provide the ability to send the `SELECT_BUCKET` when establishing a
+  to a server. This is a building block allowing us to use 'RBAC'/username
+  auth in the future.
+  Note that this requires the `select_bucket=true` option in the connection
+  string or equivalent, and that this feature as a whole is considered
+  experimental.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-758](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-758)
+
+* Provide an option to disable DNS-SRV lookups. Because DNS SRV lookups often
+  result in no result (i.e. `NXDOMAIN`) - which takes longer, allowing to
+  disable such lookups may speed up startup time.
+  This option is available via the connection string, using `dnssrv=off`
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-756](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-756)
+
+* Send client/user-specific identifier in `User-Agent` HTTP header.
+  The library already does this for data nodes (Memcached). Using it in HTTP
+  services allows better supportability when diagnosing issues by reading the
+  HTTP logs.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-755](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-755)
+
+* Fix bug where DNS SRV hostnames would not be used.
+  While DNS SRV lookup was working, the library would not actually attempt
+  bootstrap off those received hostnames.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-753](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-753)
+
+* Provide experimental Analytics support.
+  This allows access to the Couchbase Analytics Service, available in
+  some pre-release builds. API and syntax wise, Analytics is very similar
+  to N1QL.
+  To use the analytics service, set the `LCB_CMDN1QL_F_CBASQUERY` bit in
+  `lcb_CMDN1QL::cmdflags`, and provide the appropriate _host:port_ combination
+  in the `lcb_CMDN1QL::host` field. - Currently, analytics support is not
+  used in the cluster map/configuration.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-734](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-734)
+
+## 2.7.2 (February 21 2017)
+
+This release consists of additional internal refactoring and some improved
+logging messages. There is enhanced experimental XATTR support. This release
+also contains some bug fixes:
+
+* Fix build issues on FreeBSD. This allows normal BSD `make` to be used, rather
+  than forcing `gmake`
+
+* Fixed broken JIRA link in README
+
+* Fix hanging SSL connections in IOCP/Completion mode. This would sometimes
+  stall the connection by not requesting a write if a read was in progress.
+  This would result in the command not being sent and the client hanging.
+  Note that this only affects completion-style I/O plugins such as IOCP and
+  libuv.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-744](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-744)
+
+* Rename `LCB_SDSPEC_F_VIRTPATH` to `LCB_SDSPEC_F_MACROVALUES`. `VIRTPATH`
+  is intended for possible future materialized XATTRs.
+
+* Add `LCB_SDSPEC_F_XATTR_DELETED_OK`, which maps to the protocol flag of
+  roughly the same name.
+
+## 2.7.1 (January 19 2017)
+
+This release consists of additional internal refactoring. More internals have
+been converted to C++.
+
+* Provide XATTR (Extended Attribute) prototype support.
+  This provides a prototype implementation of xattrs, allowing the client to
+  access extended (hidden) attributes of a document. This feature can be used
+  on the client side by simply setting the `LCB_SDSPEC_F_XATTRPATH` bit in
+  the `lcb_SDSPEC::options` field.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-728](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-728)
+
+* Add automatic DNS SRV record lookup when simple hostname supplied.
+  The library will now automatically attempt to look up SRV records
+  for various couchbase services if only one host is present in the
+  connection string. Automatic lookup will not be performed if more
+  than a single host is provded. See the [Java Documentation](https://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/server/current/sdk/java/managing-connections.html)
+  on the matter (go to the bottom of the page).
+  * Issues: [CCBC-566](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-566)
+
+## 2.7.0 (December 21 2016)
+
+This release consists mainly of internal refactoring. Many of the internals
+have been 'upgraded' to C++
+
+## 2.6.4 (November 28 2016)
+
+* Fix bug in pillowfight where large value sizes would cause a segfault.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-727](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-727)
+
+* Allow 64 bit values with `cbc-incr` and `cbc-decr`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-716](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-716)
+
+* Fix encoding in `lcb_n1p_setconsistent_token`. This function would encode
+  it as `scan_vector` but it should be `scan_vectors`.
+
+* Refactor negotiation internals to use C++.
+  This is part of an internal refactoring to move our internals over to C++.
+  This will make the code more manageable and extendable in the future.
+
+## 2.6.3 (September 27 2016)
+
+* Fix memory corruption for some JSON APIs when no rows are returned.
+  This fixes a bug where the JSON parser would read from garbage memory when
+  parsing a response that had no rows, but due to a slow network, would be
+  received in multiple chunks.
+  This affects N1QL, CBFT, and View APIs.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-721](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-721)
+
+* Allow to adjust bytes to read per event loop iteration.
+  This allows applications with high network throughput but low CPU capacity
+  to prevent the library from oversaturating a specific event callback invocation
+  or starve other sockets. It may be controlled through the `read_chunk_size`
+  connection string option or via `lcb_cntl_string`.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-568](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-568)
+
+* Use `htonll` for CAS values.
+  This allows a consistent representation of CAS values regardless of underlying
+  platform. This allows interoperability between other SDKs with respect to
+  exchanging CAS values. This however may break interoperability with older
+  versions of the same SDK, if the CAS value is being passed around (which it
+  shouldn't be).
+
+* New subdocument additions.
+  This adds the `LCB_SUBDOC_F_MKDOCUMENT` flag which allows document creation
+  if the document does not exist, and can be used for mutation operations which
+  may create new paths or values. The `LCB_SUBDOC_CMD_GET_COUNT` is also added,
+  which is a new command which retrieves the number of elements (for an array)
+  or key-value items (within an object/dictionary) of a given path.
+  Both these features require Couchbase Server 4.6 (or its prereleases).
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-718](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-718)
+
+## 2.6.2 (July 26 2016)
+
+* Don't crash on high number of FDs with select plugin. Because `select(2)`
+  can only accomodate up to a certain number of file descriptors in the
+  application, if opening a socket results in a too-high-numbered FD, the
+  plugin will return an error rather than silently failing during polling.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-567](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-567)
+
+* Pillowfight can now set ttl (expiry). This is done via the `-e` or `--expiry`
+  option.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-637](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-637)
+
+* Log URLs of HTTP requests. This may make it easier to debug some HTTP-based
+  APIs. The URLs are printed as part of the `TRACE` logging level.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-641](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-641)
+
+* Fix crash on shutdown with completion-based I/O. The crash was a result
+  of dereferencing the `lcb_t` after it had been destroyed. This bug affected
+  completion-based I/O subsystems such as libuv and IOCP.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-707](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-707)
+
+* Do not require `operation` field to be set on `lcb_CMDSTORE`.
+  Starting from this version, a new `lcb_storage_t` constant, `LCB_UPSERT`
+  has been added with a value of 0. This means that upsert operations no
+  longer need to explicitly use `LCB_SET`, it being the default.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-545](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-545)
+
+## 2.6.1 (June 21 2016)
+
+* Index management API now properly handles 'fields' field. Previously this
+  was treated as a csv string, when it is in fact a JSON array.
+
+* `pillowfight` now has a `--populate-only` option, which is useful when simply
+  trying to populate buckets with large amounts of data.
+
+* Allow to bypass OpenSSL initialization. This allows applications which already
+  have OpenSSL intialization code in place to suppress libcouchbase's own
+  OpenSSL initialization code. You can disable SSL initialization by using
+  `ssl=no_global_init` in the connection string.
+
+* Allow to toggle sending of multiple credentials in N1QL queries.
+  You can use the `LCB_CMD_F_MULTIAUTH` in the `lcb_CMDN1QL::cmdflags` field
+  to indicate that multiple credentials should be added. Otherwise only the
+  current bucket's credentials will be sent.
+
+* Fix infinite loop on completion (UV,nodejs,IOCP) type IO plugins.
+  This bug would be triggered when only a single server remained in the cluster
+  and that single server failed. This would result in the client never being
+  able to perform operations due to a delayed reference count decrement.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-704](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-704)
+
+## 2.6.0 (May 17 2016)
+
+* Improve index management API and implementation. The `rawjson` field was
+  being ignored and the `condition` field was missing as well.
+
+* Add pillowfight support for subdoc. At the simplest level you can simply
+  invoke pillowfight as `cbc-pillowfight --subdoc --json <other args>`.
+  Refer to the pillowfight documentation for more details.
+
+## 2.5.8 (April 19 2016)
+
+* Fix SSL connectivity errors with views and HTTP bootstrapping.
+  This would cause network connectivity issues when attempting to bootstrap
+  via `https://` or using views (`lcb_view_query()`). The fix is a workaround
+  to not advertise older SSL encryption methods.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-688](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-688)
+
+* Do not abort when receiving a memcached EINVAL response.
+  While the client should never end up in a situation where it receives an
+  `EINVAL` from the server, it should nevertheless not terminate the execution
+  of the current process. This bug was introduced in 2.5.6
+  * Issues: [CCBC-689](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-689)
+
+* Fix memory leak when using N1QL prepared statements.
+  Prepared statements would never be freed, even when the client handle was
+  destroyed (`lcb_destroy()`) causing a slight memory leak.
+
+* Append CRLF header after host header.
+  This would sometimes result in odd HTTP headers being sent out.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-694](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-694)
+
+* Experimental CBFT (Full-Text search API)
+  This version adds a new fulltext api. The API is a row-based API similar
+  to N1QL and MapReduce. See the `<libcouchbase/cbft.h>` header for more details.
+  The API is experimental and subject to change.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-638](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-638)
+
+* Allow additional client identifier for HELLO command.
+  The SDK sends a version string to the server when doing initial negotiation.
+  The server then uses this string in the context of any logging messages
+  pertaining to that connection. In this version, a new setting has been added
+  to allow 'user-defined' version strings to be appended to the logs. Note that
+  this feature is intended only for use with wrapping SDKs such as Python, node.js
+  and PHP so that their versions can be present in the log messages as well.
+  This setting is exposed as a string control (in the connection string, or
+  `lcb_cntl_string()` with the name of `client_string`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-693](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-693)
+
+* vBucket retry logic changes.
+  The client will now retry at constant 100ms rate when receiving not-my-vbucket
+  error replies from the server (adjustable using `retry_nmv_interval`).
+  It will also only use fast-forward map to determine the new location for the
+  vbucket, and will not use extended hueristics.
+
+  The most noteworthy user-visible change is the 100ms retry interval which
+  will significantly decrease the network traffic used by the SDK
+  during a rebalance.
+
+  To restore the pre-2.5.8 behavior (i.e. use extended heuristics and and
+  exponential retry rate), specify `vb_noguess=false`.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-660](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-660)
+
+* Add interface for multi-bucket authentication.
+  A new API has been added to modify and add additional bucket/password
+  pairs in the library. This is done using `lcb_cntl` and the `LCB_CNTL_BUCKET_CRED`
+  setting.
+
+  Note that this functionality is not yet used in N1QL queries due to
+  [MB-16964](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/MB-16964)

+
+## 2.5.7 (March 22 2016)
+
+* High-level index management operations.
+  A volatile API for high level index management operations has been added to
+  assist in common N1QL index operations such as creating the primary index
+  and removing indexes.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-662](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-662)
+
+* Fix N1QL mutation token queries.
+  This fixes some bugs in the previous implementation of the way mutation tokens
+  were handled with `lcb_N1QLPARAMS`. The bugs and fixes only affect consumers
+  of that API. Couchbase SDKs do not consume this API
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-658](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-658)
+
+* Throttle config request retries on empty NMVB responses.
+  This changes the previous behavior where a new configuration would be
+  retrieved _immediately_ upon a not-my-vbucket reply if a configuration
+  was not included within the error reply itself. The new behavior is to
+  request a delayed retry (i.e. subject to the default throttle settings)
+  if the current configuration originated from the CCCP (Memcached) provider.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-681](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-681)
+
+* Rename `LCB_CLIENT_ETMPFAIL` to `LCB_CLIENT_ENOCONF`.
+  This error code is returned only when there is no current client configuration.
+  This error condition is _not_ temporary and is actually fatal; a result of
+  an initial bootstrapping failure. Note that the older name is still valid
+  in older code for compatibility purposes.

+  * Issues: [CCBC-679](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-679)
+
+* Include PID in log messages on OS X.
+  This makes the library logs (via `LCB_LOGLEVEL` etc.) easier to read on a
+  mac. Previously this used to display only the thread ID, which was identical
+  for multiple processes. Now the display reads as _pid/tid_, making it easier
+  to read the logs in a multi-process environment.

+
+
+## 2.5.6 (February 18 2016)
+
+* Sub-Document API (_experimental_)
+  The client-side sub-document API has been implemented. Sub-document is
+  a feature which vastly reduces network usage when operating on parts
+  of documents.
+  The API as it appears in this version is highly experimental and may
+  (and likely will) change. Examples of use can be found in the `examples/subdoc`
+  directory.
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* Make `lcb_sched_enter` and `lcb_sched_leave` optional.
+  When scheduling an operation (e.g. `lcb_get3()`), the scheduling function
+  will implicitly create a scheduling context and submit the operation if
+  none exists already. A scheduling context is explicitly created by calling
+  `lcb_sched_enter()` and finished by calling `lcb_sched_leave()` or
+  `lcb_sched_fail()`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-664](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-664)
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* API3 is now stable.
+  The scheduling based API, introduced in version 2.4.0 and known as 'api3',
+  is now stable and considered the API for use with the library.
+  The previous API (i.e. 'api2') is considered deprecated.
+
+  While API3 has been promoted to stable in this version, it has been available
+  in its current form (and in a mostly compatible manner, _except_ the implicit
+  scheduling feature - CCBC-664) since 2.4.0.
+
+  Storing an item in API2:
+
+    lcb_get_store_t cmd = { 0 }, *cmd_p = &cmd;
+    cmd.v.v0.key = "key";
+    cmd.v.v0.nkey = 3;
+    cmd.v.v0.bytes = "value";
+    cmd.v.v0.nbytes = 5;
+    cmd.v.v0.operation = LCB_SET;
+    lcb_store(instance, NULL, 1, &cmd_p);
+
+  Storing an item in API3:
+
+    lcb_CMDSTORE cmd = { 0 };
+    LCB_CMD_SET_KEY(&cmd, "key", 3);
+    LCB_CMD_SET_VALUE(&cmd, "value", 5);
+    cmd.operation - LCB_SET;
+    lcb_store3(instance, NULL, &cmd);
+
+
+* Add `libcouchbase/` string to version identification to Memcached
+  Connections to memcached will now be identified as `libcouchbase/version`
+  rather than `version`. This increases readability for server logs
+  * Issues: [CCBC-656](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-656)
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Hide `mutation_token` field from API3 mutation respones. The `mutation_token`
+  field has never been part of the API itself (it was previously present when
+  api3 was marked as "experimental").
+  The mutation token for any operation must now be retrieved using the
+  `lcb_resp_get_mutation_token()` to retrieve the actual mutation token.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-671](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-671)
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Server's `PROTOCOL_BINARY_RESPONSE_EINTERNAL` is no longer mapped to
+  `LCB_EINTERNAL`. `LCB_UNKNOWN_MEMCACHED_ERROR` will be returned instead
+
+* Allow get-and-touch with an expiry of 0.
+  Clearing a document's expiry with `get` is now possible, using the new
+  `LCB_CMDGET_F_CLEAREXP` in `lcb_CMDGET::cmdflags`.
+  * Issues: [CCBC-667](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-667)
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* Allow multiple buckets when using sequence number consistency with N1QL
+  This uses the new internal `scan_vector` protocol supporting multiple buckets,
+  each providing their own `lcb_MUTATION_TOKEN` objects.

+
+## 2.5.5 (January 12 2016)
+
+* Add `retry_interval` string option to adjust retry interval.
+  This allows the setting to be modified via `lcb_cntl_string()` and specified
+  in the connection string.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-654](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-654)
+
+* Handle backslashes in view row ID fields.
+  This would previously not be handled correctly as the backslashes would not
+  be removed, for example an ID of `has_a_"quote` would appear in the API as
+  `has_a_\"quote`. This has been fixed and document IDs are now properly
+  processed as JSON
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-649](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-649)
+
+* Allow 'file-only' configuration mode.
+  This allows applications to make the library instance exclusively configured
+  from a file on the local filesystem rather than through network bootstrap.
+  This feature is undocumented and unsupported. It may be enabled using the
+  `bootstrap_on=file_only` connection string directive.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-652](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-652)
+
+* Log when squashing network errors.
+  This will make the library log the original error whenever a network error
+  is translated from a more detailed description into `LCB_NETWORK_ERROR`
+  (in case `detailed_errcodes` is not enabled), or if an OS-level error is
+  found which cannot be translated into a more specific library error.
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* Fix memcached/ketama hashing
+  This fixes a bug in the ketama hasing code which caused a key to be mapped
+  to an effectively arbitrary server for the library instance. In practice the
+  node a key was mapped to depended on the order in which the hosts were
+  specified in the connection string. This has been fixed to always use
+  hashing based on the lexical sort order of each server node.
+  It is highly recommended that applications upgrade to this version (2.5.5)
+  for proper memcached (cache) bucket functionality.
+  * Priority: Critical
+  * Issues: [CCBC-653](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-653)
+
+* Add `cbc-touch` subcommand.
+  This now allows the simple "touching", or modifying expiration time via the
+  `cbc` command line client.

+## 2.5.4 (November 25 2015)
+
+* Validate vBucket master nodes for bounds when receiving new configuration.
+  This ensures that invalid configurations (addressing nodes which do not
+  exist) do not make their way to KV routing operations.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-643](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-643)
+
+* Add `lcb_strcbtype` to print the name of the callback type
+  This small convenience function is added to pretty-print the type
+  of callback being invoked. The second argument to the callback can be passed
+  to this function.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Disallow using `certpath` connection string option without explicit SSL
+  (`couchbases://`) scheme. Since the SSL and non-SSL schemes are similar,
+  a typo can let a user mistakenly think that SSL is being used. This is
+  fixed by disallowing the other SSL option (`certpath`) when SSL is not
+  enabled.
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-644](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-644)
+
+* Add convenience function to retrieve hostname for key.
+  This is an alternative to retrieving the vBucket configuration (via `lcb_cntl()`)
+  and mapping the key to an index, and mapping the index to a node. Note that
+  hostnames are sufficient for most but not all configurations. Those running
+  multiple server instances on the same host (for example, `cluster_run`) will
+  still need to use the full set of steps as this function does not return a
+  port. This function is provided both as a vBucket API (`lcbvb_get_hostname()`)
+  which retrieves the hostname for an index as well as a top-level instance
+  (`lcb_t`) function (`lcb_get_keynode()`) which accepts a key buffer and length.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Ensure embedded jsoncpp does not throw exceptions.
+  This caused some build issues with other build systems. This has been fixed
+  by replacing any exception throwing code with `abort()` and `assert()`
+  statements.

+  * Issues: [CCBC-634](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-634)
+
+* Log vBucket configuration parsing failures.
+  This logs vBucket configuration parsing failures when a given config received
+  could not be parsed. Parsing failures include both JSON syntax errors as well
+  as improper fields or values within the config itself.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-647](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-647)
+
+* Allow per-request N1QL timeouts to exceed global timeouts.
+  This scans the `"timeout"` property of the N1QL request and if set, will
+  make the value of this property the timeout value for the request. A small
+  parser was implemented which converted the N1QL timeout values (`s`, `h`, etc.)
+  into microseconds.

+  * Issues: [CCBC-660](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-660)
+
+* Request configuration refresh when HTTP API redirects are received.
+  Redirects in Couchbase Server are sent when a node is about to exit the
+  cluster. We should take this as a sign to refresh the config since it indicates

+
+## 2.5.3 (August 27 2015)

+* Add N1QL timeout feature.
+  This allows an independent timeout setting for N1QL. Previously this would
+  use the views timeout.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-631](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-631)
+
+* Add N1QL prepared statements.
+  This allows prepared statements to be used with N1QL. The library will
+  maintain an internal "prepared statement cache" which contains cached
+  responses for internal PREPARE requests. To use a prepared statement, an
+  application can simply set the `LCB_CMDN1QL_F_PREPCACHE` bit in the
+  `cmdflags` field within the `lcb_CMDN1QL` structure. All the rest is
+  handled internally within the library.

+
+## 2.5.2 (July 23 2015)
+
+* Fix off-by-one error when populating documents with pillowfight.
+  Previously pillowfight would only populate N-1 documents where N
+  is the (`-I`, `--num-items`) option. This has been fixed.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Don't generate negative keys for pillowfight.
+  For certain option configurations, pillowfight would generate negative keys
+  (some keys were in the format of -nnnnnn).
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Allow in-progress N1QL requests to be cancelled.
+  This allows in-progress N1QL requests to be cancelled by adding a new API,
+  `lcb_n1ql_cancel()`. Invoking this function on an `lcb_N1QLHANDLE` handle
+  (obtained via an _out_ parameter in the command structure) will effectively
+  stop the request and stop delivering callbacks to the user.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-619](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-619)
+
+* Rename `lcb_SYNCTOKEN` to `lcb_MUTATION_TOKEN`.
+  This experimental (volatile) API has been renamed to "Mutation Token" to
+  better reflect naming conventions found in other client libraries.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Implement histogram/timings information for N1QL queries via `cbc-n1qlback`.
+  This adds support for the (`-T`, `--timings`) option in the
+  `cbc-n1qlback` benchmark/stress-test utility. These timings reflect the
+  latency between issuing the query and the receipt of the first row of the
+  resultset.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-624](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-624)
+
+* Add (`-M`, `--mode`) option to `cbc-create` to allow for upsert, insert, etc.
+  This allows `cbc-create` to use the full gamut of storage options available
+  via the SDK by allowing an insert/upsert/replace mode as an argument to the
+  new `--mode` option. `append` and `prepend` are now also provided as options,
+  though not documented.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-625](https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-625)
+
+* Support `CBC_CONFIG` environment variable for command line tools.
+  This variable specifies a path to an alternate `cbcrc` file which may be
+  used to provide cluster/bucket settings. This new option allows multiple
+  configurations to coexist, without forcing any one of them to be inside the
+  user's home directory.

+## 2.5.1 (June 17 2015)
+
+Bug fixes and improvements in 2.5.1
+
+* Fix hanging in durability operations if node is not present and constraints
+  include failed node. This condition may be triggered when only a single node
+  remains in the broadcast probe and a command sent to it could not be scheduled.
+  A symptom of this bug was durability operations 'hanging'
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-607](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-607)
+
+* Improved handling of topology changes when non-data (N1QL, Index) nodes are
+  part of the cluster. This fixes some issues (mainly crashes) when non-data
+  nodes are found inside the cluster during a topology change. While the library
+  since version 2.4.8 was able to handle initial bootstrapping with non-data
+  nodes, it would still crash when such nodes were encountered during
+  configuration changes.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-609](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-609),
+    [CCBC-612](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-612)
+
+* Improved random host selection algorithm for REST services
+  This new algorithm ensures that the distribution is even among all _eligible_
+  nodes for a given service. The old algorithm would only distribute evenly when
+  the assumption that all nodes contained the same services were true. However
+  this assumption is no longer necessarily true with Couchbase 4.0. In this case
+  the algorithm ensures that the random selection inspects only the pool of
+  nodes which are known to have a given service enabled.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-611](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-611)
+
+* Ensure ketama/Memcached-bucket hashing works correctly when non-data nodes
+  are part of the cluster. In previous versions, ketama hashing would incorrectly
+  consider all nodes as candidates for keys, which would result in some items
+  being routed to non-data nodes, resulting in odd errors and inaccessible
+  data. This is only an issue for the still-unreleased Couchbase 4.0.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-613](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-613)
+
+* Set `TCP_NODELAY` as a server side option, if it's enabled on the client.
+  This uses the `HELLO` protocol functionality to enable this feature, if
+  this feature is also enabled on the client (enabled by default).
+
+
+New features in 2.5.1
+
+* Add `cmake/configure` option for enabling the embedding of the libevent
+  plugin. This option, named `--enable-embedded-libevent-plugin`, will cause
+  the plugin to be linked in with the core library (_libcouchbase_) rather
+  than built as its own object
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Add new combined "Store-with-durability" operation. This new API, called
+  `lcb_storedur3()` allows specifying the storage input options as well as
+  the associated durability options in a single command. Likewise, the status
+  of the operation (including durability) is returned in the operation's
+  callback.

+  * Issues: [CCBC-616](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-616)
+
+
+## 2.5.0 (May 12 2015)
+
+This change in the major version number signals the addition of new features
+for Couchbase Server 4.0; most of the actual new functionality for Couchbase
+4.0 has already been included (incrementally) in prior 2.4.x versions. The
+new 2.5 version is built on the 2.4.x codebase.
+
+* Add `cbc-n1qlback` - a simple benchmark for N1QL queries. This functions
+  by executing a line-delimited file containing query bodies using multiple
+  threads if possible.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-604](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-604)
+
+* `TCP_NODELAY` functionality has now been placed into effect. This
+  functionality was nominally present in prior versions, but would not work
+  because of a typo.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Add 'tick' or 'pump' mode for I/O
+  As an alternative to `lcb_wait()`, applications may call `lcb_tick_nowait()`
+  to incrementally perform (non-blocking) I/O. This may provide a performance
+  boost when batching/scheduling many operations. `lcb_wait()` itself must be
+  called to guarantee completion of all operations, and the `lcb_tick_nowait()`
+  functionality is only available on some I/O plugins. See the API docs for
+  more information.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-598](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-598)
+
+* Allow "console logger" to log to a file
+  As a convenience, it is now possible to direct the library to write to
+  a log file rather than standard error. This is possible using the
+  `LCB_CNTL_CONLOGGER_FP` (to programmatically set a `FILE*` value via
+  `lcb_cntl()`) or `console_log_file` to set the path of the file (which
+  will be overwritten) via `lcb_cntl_string()` or the connection string.
+
+* Make `lcb_N1QLPARAMS` repeatable/debuggable
+  This allows the `lcb_n1p_mkcmd()` call to be invoked multiple times without
+  actually modifying internal state. Previously calling this function twice
+  would result in corruption of the internal parameter state. In this version,
+  a new function, `lcb_n1p_encode()` has been added (which `lcb_n1p_mkcmd()`
+  wraps) which may be used to inspect the encoded form of the query.
+
+## 2.4.9 (April 14 2015)
+
+* Disable HTTP provider when any CCCP config is received.
+  This makes the assumption that CCCP will always be available if even a
+  single node provides an HTTP configuration. This change may break some
+  corner-case upgrade scenarios from version 2.2 to 2.5 where a newly added
+  2.5 node is subsequently removed.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-526](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-526),
+    [CCBC-589](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-589)
+
+* Fix additional missing defines for UV's `EAI_*` symbols
+  This was not entirely fixed in 2.4.8, since some undefined macros still
+  remained.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-596](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-596)
+
+* Make connection string timeout parameters (e.g. `operation_timeout`) always
+  specify seconds; this will no longer require the decimal point to be used,
+  but will break any prior usages of this value for microseconds.
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-597](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-597)
+
+* Add `cbc n1ql` subcommand, which executes N1QL queries.
+  This subcommand is still a bit rough around the edges, mainly because of
+  server-side support for "pretty=false" (which makes the rows display rather
+  weirdly).
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-595](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-595)
+
+* Allow usage of `-D` option in `cbc` and `cbc-pillowfight` tools.
+  This flag allows specifying connection string options in a more
+  concise form on the commandline. The `-D` option may be specified
+  multiple times in the form of `-Doption=value`.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Interpret `couchbase://host:8091` connection string as `couchbase://host`
+  Previously the library would treat `8091` as a memcached port. While technically
+  correct according to the connection string semantics, would often be a
+  source of confusion for users migrating from older versions of the library
+  (or other SDKs) when using the form `http://host:8091`. A special provision
+  is thus made for such a cas.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-599](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-599)
+
+* Implement enhanced durability using sequence numbers.
+  This feature is available in Couchbase 4.0, and uses sequence numbers
+  (optionally specified in the response packet of each mutation).
+  sequence-based durability constraints help resolve some ambiguity in
+  the case of checking the durability of items which have since been
+  mutated, or in the case of a cluster failover. Using this functionality
+  requires the `LCB_CNTL_FETCH_SYNCTOKENS` (or `fetch_synctokens`) and the
+  `LCB_CNTL_DURABILITY_SYNCTOKENS` (or `dur_synctokens`)
+  settings to be enabled (using `lcb_cntl()` or `lcb_cntl_string()`, or
+  in the connection string). Enabling `LCB_CNTL_FETCH_SYNCTOKENS` will
+  cause mutation response packets from the server to return an additional
+  16 bytes of sequence data, and enabling `LCB_CNTL_DURABILITY_SYNCTOKENS`
+  will cause `lcb_durability_poll()` to transparently use this information
+  (rather than the CAS) to check for persistence/replication.
+  **Only available in Couchbase 4.0**. As a result of this feature, much
+  of the durability subsystem itself has been rewritten, making durability
+  overall more performant, even for CAS-based durability.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-569](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-569)
+
+* Add `lcb_version_g` extern symbol as alternative to `lcb_get_version()`.
+  This symbol is an extern global which allows simple runtime checking of
+  the library version. This is more convenient than `lcb_get_version()` as
+  it avoids the requirement to create a temporary variable on the stack
+  (`lcb_get_version()` returns a string, and requires an `lcb_U32` pointer
+  as its first argument to get the actual numeric version).

+* Retry next nodes on initial bootstrap, even if first node says bucket does
+  not exist (or auth error), as this might be a recently removed node
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-577](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-577)
+
+* The `cbc` and `cbc-pillowfight` binaries on Windows are now distributed
+  in both _release_ and _debug_ variants. Previously they would be clobbered
+  by one or the other depending on the build host. This fixes some issues in
+  performance and dependency resolution when using these libraries.
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-581](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-581)
+
+* Provide Read-Only config cache mode. In this mode the configuration cache
+  file is read but never updated. Additionally, a missing file in this mode
+  results in a hard error.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-584](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-584)
+
+* Keep vBucket heuristic guesses for limited periods of time.
+  This will allow previously-learned vBucket master locations to persist
+  over a configuration change, providing these changes were discovered
+  recently. This allows the reduction of not-my-vbucket responses while
+  allowing new configs to overwrite our heuristic info, if the heuristic is
+  too old.
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* Fix potential crashes in get-with-replica (`lcb_rget3`, `lcb_get_replica`)
+  when there are no replicas available, or if there is an error in retrieving
+  from one of the replicas.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-586](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-586)
+
+* Do not wait between not-my-vbucket retries
+  This behavior restores the pre 2.4.0 behavior of retrying not-my-vbucket
+  responses, with a more intelligent retry/rotation algorithm (see the
+  release note about "vbucket map heuristics"). Previously a wait-time
+  was introduced because of potential busy loops in retrying to the same
+  node. The `LCB_CNTL_RETRY_NMV_IMM` setting can be used to disable this
+  functionality (by disabling it, i.e. setting it to 0). This may also be
+  disabled in the connection string via `retry_nmv_imm=0`.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-588](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-588)
+
+* Fix compilation error with UV when `EAI_BADHINTS` is not defined in the
+  system. This is primarily an issue with newer UV versions and some versions
+  of Linux
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-590](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-590)
+
+* Allow means to disable C++ behavior on public library structures, allowing
+  them to be initialized via C-style static initializers.
+  This allows the zeroing of structures such as `lcb_get_cmd_t cmd = { 0 }`,
+  which would ordinarily fail under C++ compilation because of that structure
+  having a defined C++ constructor. Applications can take advantage of this
+  feature by defining the `LCB_NO_DEPR_CXX_CTORS` preprocessor macro when
+  compiling.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-591](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-591)
+
+* Fix some bugs in timing behavior (`lcb_enable_timings`). Timings between
+  1000-2000ms are now reported accurately. Additionally for more common
+  handling, second timing ranges (between 1-9s) are reported in ms range
+  (i.e. timings of 4 seconds are reported as 3000-4000ms ).

+## 2.4.7 (Feb. 17 2015)
+
+* Fix SSL connection failures with `SSL_UNDEFINED_CONST_FUNCTION`.
+  This would sometimes cause failures during early connection/negotiation
+  stages.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-571](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-571)
+
+* Add _experimental_ support for N1QL queries.
+  This adds support for contacting N1QL endpoints and retrieving their
+  result sets. The support at both the client and server components is
+  still a work in progress.
+  The API is similar to the view api (see `lcb_view_query()`) added in
+  version 2.4.6. See details in `<libcouchbase/n1ql.h>`
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-572](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-572)
+
+* Add _experimental_ support for geospatial view queries.
+  GeoSpatial views are available as an experimental feature in the
+  current releases of the server. This will soon be offered as a
+  stable feature in future releases.
+  Applications may now use the `lcb_RESPVIEWQUERY::geometry` field
+  and the `LCB_CMDVIEWQUERY_F_SPATIAL` to utilize geospatial views.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-573](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-573)
+
+* Fix memory leak for retried commands.
+  In cases where a given command needs to be retried more than once, a
+  memory leak was fixed in which the previous instance of the pacekt was
+  not properly freed.

+
+## 2.4.6 (January 20 2015)
+
+* Fix floating point exception on OS X.
+  A floating point exception would sometimes be thrown on OS X sytems due
+  to bad time structure initialization. The installation provided with
+  homebrew for 2.4.5 fixed this issue. This is completely fixed in 2.4.6
+  Priority: Major
+
+* Improve warning messages when using deprecated options in `cbc`.
+  This provides less ambiguous help messages when using deprecated options,
+  showing a full and complete example for proper usage (when possible).
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-562](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-562)
+
+* Add patch/micro version to DLL information on Windows.
+  This lets the user see the exact version of the library on windows (via
+  right clicking on the DLL and inspecting the details). Previously this
+  information contained only the major and minor versions.
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-563](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-563)
+
+* Provide _pkgconfig_ (`.pc`) file with installation.
+  This may help third party applications and libraries link against libcouchbase
+  in some environments.
+
+* Provide one-off `unsafe_optimize` option for connection string/`lcb_cntl`.
+  This provides a shorter way to enable some potentially unsafe optimizations
+  which may make the client perform better in some scenarios.
+  * Priority: Minor
+
+* Allow prompting for password in `cbc`.
+  The `cbc` and `cbc-pillowfight` utilities will now securely prompt for the
+  password if the password specified on the commandline is a hyphen (`-`).

+  * Issues: [CCBC-565](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-565)
+
+* Fix timeouts in some durability when not all replicas are online.
+  The library will now fail the operation with `LCB_DURABILITY_ETOOMANY`
+  rather than allowing the operation to timeout.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-560](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-560)
+
+* Add high level row-based view functionality.
+  This adds a new API (currently considered _volatile_) which allows
+  intelligently querying views. This builds atop the basic HTTP
+  interface, and exposes a row-based callback API based upon
+  streaming JSON parsing. The new API is defined in `<libcouchbase/views.h>`.
+  This API will become more stable over time.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-100](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-100)
+
+* Parse configuration service locations for experimental services
+  This exposes the N1QL and indexing services via the _lcbvb_ API. See
+  `libcouchbase/vbucket.h` for more information.
+
+## 2.4.5 (December 17 2014)
+
+* Fix `pillowfight` ignoring `set-ratio` values above 50
+  The program would ignore these values and act as if 100 was specified,
+  thus never issuing any GET operations
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-550](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-550)
+
+* Building with autotools is no longer supported.
+  If building the library from source, you _must_ use
+  [CMake](http://cmake.org/download) version 2.8.9 or greater. If unfamiliar
+  with CMake, the README describes the process. Included also is a top-level
+  script called `configure.pl` which functions with an autoconf-like interface.
+  * Priority: Major
+
+* Fix customized IOPS crashes in some usage cases
+  This fixes scenarios where applications assume that the built-in IOPS version
+  is 0, and attempt to "Subclass" the IOPS structure. The internal version of
+  the library structure is now 3, with some extra heuristics in place to ensure
+  that the older code will still function.
+  This issue was most visible in the Python SDK when using the gevent or Twisted
+  plugins.
+  This issue was first introduced with version 2.4.4

+  * Issues: [CCBC-557](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-557)
+
+* Allow raw `certpath` to be passed without need for percent-encoding (in most cases)
+  This allows for a common pattern fo passing `certpath` in the connection string as
+  a raw, unencoded path. This allows a user to do
+  `couchbases://host/bucket?certpath=/foo/bar/baz`.
+
+* Fix missing installation UV plugin headers and source
+  In 2.4.4 this was accidentally left out, and would only be installed if the plugin
+  itself was built and installed. This affected building the Node.JS SDK using an
+  existing libcouchbase install.

+  * Issues: [CCBC-558](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-558)
+
+## 2.4.4 (Nov. 19 2014)
+
+* Detect disconnected pooled sockets
+  This allows the connection pool to detect dead sockets which were closed
+  by a server when they were idle. Sometimes servers will close connections
+  to open idle sockets to save resources, or because of bugs in their
+  implementations.
+  This will fix some issues experienced with views where queries would
+  randomly fail with `LCB_NETWORK_ERROR` or `LCB_ESOCKSHUTDOWN`, by first
+  checking if the socket is alive before returning it back to the library's
+  core.
+  Note that the `libuv` plugin does not implement this functionality yet.
+  * Priority: Critical
+  * Issues: [CCBC-546](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-546)
+
+* Fix _pillowfight_ `--min-size` bug
+  This fixes a bug where pillowfight would sometimes compare the `min-size`
+  option to an uninitialized `max-size` option and round it down to that
+  value; then would set the `max-size` option.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-542](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-542)
+
+* Don't ignore `LCB_CNTL_DURABILITY_INTERVAL`

+  reverting to 100ms.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-543](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-543)
+
+* Fix memory leak with HTTP requests using a request body
+  Requests (such as `PUT`, `POST`, etc) which contained a request body
+  would cause a memory leak as the library forgot to free them when the
+  request object was destroyed.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-538](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-538)
+
+* Fix errneous `LCB_SUCCESS` return when passed duplicate keys to
+  `lcb_durability_poll()`. This would cause applications to mistakenly wait
+  for a callback to arrive, when in fact the command had failed.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-536](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-535)
+
+* Add option to preserve vbucket ownership heuristics across config updates
+  This allows the learned configuration settings to persist between configuration
+  updates. The default behavior (up to, and including this change) is to
+  discard any "learned" configuration in favor of the explicitly new config
+  passed to the server. This new option allows this information to be persisted
+  when a new configuration update is received. This behavior is considered
+  experimental, and is primarily intended to reduce the time it takes for the
+  client to relearn the current node (which is typically under 1-2 seconds).
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-530](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-530)
+
+* Relocate memcached packets on topology changes for memcached buckets
+  This enhances the behavior of the client when operating with a memcached
+  bucket during a topology change. Previously the library would not relocate
+  packets to new servers, resulting in errors for items which were now
+  mapped to wrong nodes. The new behavior remaps the key to the new server
+  using the updated ketama hashing. Note that as a current restriction, the
+  remapping will be performed based on the key of the item, not any `hashkey`
+  parameter being employed.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-331](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-331)
+
+* Return error if ignored/conflicting options are found
+  This changes the behavior of the library to throw an error if a specific
+  option field was filled in which did not make sense for a given command, for
+  example, specifying a `cas` value using a `LCB_ADD` operation with `lcb_store`.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-529](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-529)
+
+* Fix issue when sending out large _OBSERVE_ command.
+  This would cause a partial command to be sent out if the size of the output
+  packet was greater than 512 bytes. This has been fixed by dynamically growing
+  the output buffer for _OBSERVE_
+  * Priority: Minor
+  * Issues: [CCBC-528](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-528)

+
+## 2.4.3 (Oct. 21 2014)
+
+* Disable support for SSLv3
+  This works around the _POODLE_ SSLv3 vulnerability by disabling support for
+  anything below TLSv1.
+
+  * Priority: Critical
+  * Issues: [CCBC-523](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-523)
+
+* Pillowfight enhancements
+  Several behavior changes were made to pillowfight in this version. These are:
+  * The `-l` or `-c -1` option is in effect by default. This means that by
+    default `pillowfight` will run an infinite number of cycles. The previous
+    behavior was to default to a single cycle, requiring an explicit `--loop`
+    to ensure the workload ran for a considerable amount of time.
+
+  * When multiple threads are used, the workload is divided among the threads,
+    thus making it that each thread only operates on a subset of the data.
+
+  * A `--sequential` option has been added to allow the workload to operate
+    in _sequence_ on the total number of items. This is useful when wishing to
+    load a bucket with many items.
+
+  * A `--start-at` option has been added to allow the workload to specify an
+    alternate range of keys; effectively allowing resumption of a previous
+    run. The `--start-at` flag allows to specify the lower bound number which
+    will be used to generate keys. Thus a `--num-items=20000` and a
+    `--start-at=10000` will generate keys from 10000 through 30000.
+
+  * The _population_ phase has now been merged with the general workload
+    implementation. This means that all worker threads will participate in
+    the population phase. The previous behavior limited the populate phase to
+    a single thread.
+
+  * If `stdout` is detected to be a terminal, a simple "OPS/SEC" meter will
+    periodically write the estimated throughput to the screen.
+
+* Fix memory leak when using large read buffers
+  In the case where large read buffers are used (and the `iovec` elements
+  becomes sizable, the library may end up incorrectly caching some memory
+  blocks for future use. This fix makes the blocks be cached at the allocator
+  level, so that they are properly (re) utilized.
+
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-519](http://couchbase.com/issue/browse/CCBC-519)
+
+* Use forward map (and other heuristics) to get a next node for an item after
+  a not-my-vbucket reply. Since the server (see bug attached) does not always
+  guarantee that a given config is the most _correct_, the client must do some
+  guesswork in order to properly map a node when it gets a not-my-vbucket;
+  especially if the config says that the node is the correct one.

+
+## 2.4.2 (Sep. 23 2014)
+
+* Mark the `hashkey` fields as being _volatile_.
+  Usage of this field is not supported in many cluster systems and is thus not
+  supported functionality. It exists primarily as a legacy from an older API
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-508](http://couchbase.com/issues/browse/CCBC-508)
+
+* Add "key stats" mode to `lcb_CMDDSTATS`.
+  This adds an additional key stats mode to the `lcb_stats3()` API
+  which interprets the `key` field as being a document ID for which
+  information (such as expiry, status) should be retrieved, rather
+  than a system statistics key. Similar functionality already exists
+  in the Java client library as `getKeyStats()`. In addition to this
+  feature, a `cbc stats --keystats` option is also provided to employ
+  this functionality from the command line.
+  * Priority: Major
+  * Issues: [CCBC-318](http://issues.couchbase.com/browse/CCBC-318)

+
+* Add `lcb_cntl()` setting to retrieve bucket name.
+  Previously the library did not have a means by which the bucket name
+  could be retrieved. Using the `LCB_CNTL_BUCKETNAME` setting, the bucket
+  name will now be returned.

+
+
+* Requests issued to an invalid replica via `lcb_get_replica()` should fail

+
+## 2.4.0 GA
+
+* [major] Attempt to retry items that are mapped to a non-existent node in
+  a degraded cluster. Rather than returning `LCB_NO_MATCHING_SERVER` the
+  behavior should be to wait for the item to succeed and attempt to fetch
+  a new cluster configuration.
+
+  In order to control how such 'orphaned' commands are handled, a new value
+  has been added to the `lcb_RETRYMODEOPTS` called `LCB_RETRY_ON_MISSINGNODE`
+  which dictates how commands should be rescheduled if the associated vbucket
+  has no master. The default is to retry the command until it times out, but
+  by setting this value to `0` (See `LCB_CNTL_RETRYMODE`) it may only be
+  attempted once, causing 'fail fast' behavior in such a case.
+
+* [major] Don't throttle config requests based on initial file-based config.
+  This allows the client to quickly recover from a stale config cache without
+  waiting for the `LCB_CNTL_CONFDELAY_THRESH` interval to elapse. Prior to this
+  fix, a client would appear to "not recover" if bootstrapping from a stale cache.
+  In reality the client would eventually recover but was waiting for the delay
+  threshold to elapse.
+
+* [major] Ignore `NOT_MY_VBUCKET` config payloads if CCCP provider is disabled.
+  This allows the client to circumvent any possible bugs in the CCCP response
+  payload and rely entirely on the HTTP config. It also allows 'rewriting'
+  proxies like confsed to function.
+
+## 2.4.0-beta
+
+* [major] Better error reporting for SSL failures.
+  This adds new error codes (`LCB_SSL_ERROR`, `LCB_SSL_CANTVERIFY`)
+  which are returned on initialization and verification failures
+  respectively.
+
+* [minor] Communication via legacy memcached servers is possible
+  by using the `memcached://` scheme in the connection string.
+
+* [minor] Environment variables understood by the library are now
+  documented in their own section.
+
+* [major] Add `lcb_get_node()` function to retrieve addresses for
+  various nodes in the cluster. This deprecates the `lcb_get_host()`,
+  `lcb_get_port()` and `lcb_get_server_list()` functions as they are
+  constrained to only return information about the administrative API.
+  The new function is configurable to return information about various
+  ports.
+
+* [major] The `dsn` field in the `lcb_create_st` structure has been
+  renamed to `connstr`.
+
+* [major] An HTTP request which has followed redirects will cause the
+  `lcb_wait()` function to never return. This bug was introduced in
+  2.4.0-DP1 and has now been fixed.
+
+* [minor] `lcb_get_server_list()` function now returns updated information
+  from the current cluster configuration. Previously this would only return
+  a node from the list specified during initial creation.
+
+* [minor] Provide additional error classifiers. Two error classifiers have
+  been added, they are:
+
+  * `LCB_ERRTYPE_SRVLOAD` which indicates that the server is likely under high load.
+  * `LCB_ERRTYPE_SRVGEN` which indicates that the error is a direct reply from the
+    server. This code can help distinguish between client and server generated
+    return codes.
+
+* [major] Provide HTTP keepalive and connection pooling for HTTP requests.
+  This allows the client to reuse an HTTP connection for multiple requests
+  rather than creating a new connection and closing it for each operation.
+
+  The functionality may be controlled via the `LCB_CNTL_HTTP_POOLSIZE` setting
+  which limits how many open connections (per server) to maintain inside the
+  client. Setting this value to `0` will disable pooling and restore old
+  behavior.
+
+* [major] Properly schedule next invocations for retry queue. A bug was introduced
+  in 2.4.0-dp1 which would cause the next tick callback to be invoked in what is
+  effectively a busy loop. This would be reflected in higher CPU load and less
+  throughput during topology changes.
+
+* [major] Return error if empty key is passed to an operation. Empty keys will
+  cause the server to drop the connection.
+  The error code returned is the newly added `LCB_EMPTY_KEY`
+
+* [minor] Provide setting to disable refreshing the configuration when an HTTP
+  API error is encountered (from one of the HTTP callback functions). This
+  adds the `LCB_CNTL_HTTP_REFRESH_CONFIG_ON_ERROR` setting.
+
+* [major] Fix bug where the CCCP provider may prematurely fail, activating the
+  HTTP provider
+
+
+## 2.4.0-dp1 (2014-06-18)
+
+
+**Changes affecting older APIs**
+
+* [minor] Make `run_event_loop` and `stop_event_loop` private.
+  These functions may no longer be used from within an application to
+  start/stop the event loop. `lcb_wait()` and `lcb_wait3()` should be
+  used instead.
+
+* [major] Deprecate the `lcb_set_XXX` functions. `lcb_set_timeout`
+  and some other calls have been deprecated in favor of the `lcb_cntl()`
+  interface. These functions will still work but will cause the compiler
+  to print a deprecation warning.
+
+* [minor] `lcb_socket_t` is typedefed to a `DWORD` on windows. In
+  previous versions this was an `int`.
+
+* [minor] Connecting to a standalone memcached instance is currently no longer
+  supported.
+
+* [major] `lcb_set_error_callback()` has been deprecated. Applications should
+  use the new `lcb_set_bootstrap_callback()` and/or operation callbacks
+  to determine success/failure status.
+
+* [major] `lcb_get_last_error()` has been deprecated. Error information is always
+  returned in the operation callback
+
+* [major] Disable the sending of `GETQ` packets. The format of this command
+  is cumbersome to deal with and in most uses cases is actually slightly
+  _less_ efficient on the network. Note that this does not change the API
+  of the actual `lcb_get()` call, but simply changes the format of the
+  packets sent over the wire.
+
+* [major] The IOPS API has been changed. This is considered volatile interface
+  and may subsequently change in the future as well.
+
+**New APIs added in 2.4.0 extending existing functionality**
+
+These changes extend existing features with enhanced APIs
+
+* [major] Additional APIs for `lcb_cntl()`. These consist of helper functions
+  to make it easier to use simple types or strings rather than pointers, if
+  possible. These functions are `lcb_cntl_string()`, `lcb_cntl_setu32()` and
+  `lcb_cntl_getu32()`
+
+* [minor] Provide extended version of `lcb_wait()`.
+  A new function called `lcb_wait3()` has been added which offers additional
+  options with respect to running the event loop. Specifically it offers to
+  bypass the check for pending operations which `lcb_wait()` executes. This
+  is both more performant and allows us to wait for operations which are
+  not explicitly scheduled.
+
+* [major] Provide API to request a configuration refresh.
+  Sometimes it is necessary to force the client to request a new configuration,
+  for example in certain failover conditions. A new API called `lcb_config_refresh()`
+  has been added, and should be used in conjunction with `lcb_wait3()`.
+
+* [major] Provide bootstrapping notification callback
+  This provides an explicit `lcb_set_bootstrap_callback()` to definitively
+  determine whether the client has received its initial configuration (and
+  thus may now start performing operations) or whether it failed (and thus
+  must be reinitialized). This deprecates the common use case of
+  `lcb_set_error_callback()`.
+
+* [major] New vBucket interface/API. This API is used internally and exposed
+  as _volatile_ inside the public header files. It provides extended features,
+  a more concise API, and is compatible with the upcoming Couchbase 3.0 config
+  format. Note that file-based configuration caches written by this version of
+  the library are incompatible with previous versions, however this version may
+  read caches generated by previous versions. This is because this version generates
+  a stripped-down version of the "terse" configuration style.
+
+* [major] Extended detailed error codes.
+  These error codes expose more detail about the `NETWORK_ERROR` and
+  `CONNECT_ERROR` codes returned by previous versions of the library. The extended
+  codes are not returned by default and must be explicitly enabled in order to
+  retain backwards compatibility with applications which rely on the older
+  error codes.
+
+
+**New Features in 2.4.0**
+
+* [major] Connection Strings (aka "dsn") feature for instance creation. This adds a new
+  version of the `lcb_create_st` structure which is passed a URI-like string
+  rather than a semicolon-delimited list of hosts. This string is used to
+  provide options and the list of hosts that the library should connect to.
+  For example, `couchbase://default/localhost&compression=off`
+
+* [major] SSL transport support for Couchbase 3.0 Enterprise.
+  Couchbase 3.0 enterprise features the ability to encrypt communications
+  between the client and the server using the SSL protocol. SSL protocol
+  support in _libcouchbase_.
+
+* [major] Retry queue for failed operations. The retry queue is used
+  as a place to place operations which have failed internally and which
+  should be retried within a certain amount of time. This also provides
+  options on which commands should be retried.
+
+* [minor] Compression/JSON flag (aka Datatype) support
+  This adds support for a future feature of Couchbase server which will
+  feature transparent compression. This feature also allows the server
+  to signal to the library if a document is JSON or not. The compression
+  feature may be disabled at compile-time, and may also be modified at
+  runtime by setting `compression=off` in either the connection string
+  or via `lcb_cntl_setstring(instance, "compression", "off")`
+
+* [major] Experimental _scheduling_ API. This API replaces most of the older
+  operation APIs with a scheduling API. These APIs are called with one
+  command at a time and insert the resultant packet into a pipeline. The
+  user may "schedule" the commands or "fail" the pipeline if a certain
+  request has failed to be scheduled.
+
+  This API also provides a common ABI header for commands so that they may
+  easily be used via type-punning, or wrapped as a class hierarchy in C++.
+
+  This API is currently considered volatile but will be the basis of the
+  upcoming libcouchbase 3.0 API. The header file is `<libcouchbase/api3.h>`
+
+* [major] Raw memcached packets may be sent to the library and have a callback
+  invoked when their responses have been received.
+  This adds an `lcb_pktfwd3()` API. This requires the new scheduling API.
+
+
+**Bug Fixes in 2.4.0**
+
+* [major] _select_ plugin may endlessly loop in some cases
+  The plugin may loop if there was a long timeout from the
+  future .
+
+* [major] Do not break TCP connections on topology changes unless ejected from
+  cluster. This ensures that nodes which are still part of the cluster have their
+  TCP connections remain in tact despite being shifted in their server index values.
+  Packets which have been sent to the wrong vBucket are silently ignored and
+  rescheduled to their appropriate destination. This decreases load significantly
+  on the client, network, and cluster during topology changes.
+
+* [major] Use new-style "Terse" URI format when requesting a configuration over HTTP.
+  This uses the HTTP configuration format over the new `/pools/default/bs/default`
+  rather than the older `/pools/default/bucketsStreaming/default` form. The former
+  form is much more efficient on the cluster side. If the new URI form is not
+  supported (i.e. the server responds with an HTTP 404) the older form will be
+  used instead. You may modify this behavior by setting the `LCB_CNTL_HTCONFIG_URLTYPE`
+  setting via `lcb_cntl()`.
+
+* [minor] The `cmake/configure` script now accepts the `LDFLAGS`, `CPPFLAGS`, `CFLAGS`,
+  `CXXFLAGS`, `CC`, and `CXX` settings both within the environment _and_ the
+  commandline, so the forms of `CC=clang ./cmake/configure` and
+  `./cmake/configure CC=clang` are equivalent.
+
+* [minor] The `pillowfight` tool will now print latencies between 1-10ms in resolutions
+  of 100us.
+
+
+**Metadata and Packaging Changes in 2.4.0**
+
+* [major] Use Doxygen for API documentation.
+  This replaces the _manpages_ for API documentation with Doxygen. Doxygen
+  is a free and portable documentation system which may be obtained from your
+  distribution or at [](http://doxygen.org). To generate the documentation
+  from the source tree, simply run `doxygen` from the source root directory.
+  To generate internal documentation, run `./docs/gen_internal_apidoc.sh`.
+
+* [major] Add interface attributes to all API calls
+  This properly documents all API calls with a certain API stability level
+  such as _committed_ (for stable APIs), _uncommitted_ for APIs which may, but
+  are not likely to change, and _volatile_ for APIs which are likely to be
+  changed or removed.
+
+* [major] Public header files have been reorganized
+  This changes the layout of the header files from previous versions. This should
+  not affect applications as applications should only ever include the main
+  `<libcouchbase/couchbase.h>` file.
+
+  the following files have been _removed_ from the
+  `<libcouchbase/*>` header directory:
+
+    * `types.h` - Merged into other header files
+    * `arguments.h` - now a part of `couchbase.h`
+    * `callbacks.h` - now a part of `couchbase.h`
+    * `debug.h` - unused and obsolete
+    * `durability.h` - now a part of `couchbase.h`
+    * `behavior.h` - Merged into `deprecated.h`
+    * `sanitycheck.h` - Merged into `deprecated.h`
+    * `timings.h` - Part of `couchbase.h`
+    * `compat.h` - Part of `deprecated.h`
+
+  The following files have been _added_ into the `<libcouchbase/*>` directory.
+  Unless otherwise noted, these files are included by `<libcouchbase/couchbase.h>`:
+
+    * `api3.h` - Volatile proposed 3.0 API. **Not included by default**
+    * `cxxwrap.h` - Contains the implementation for the deprecated C++ wrappers
+    * `deprecated.h` - Contains deprecated APIs
+    * `iops.h` - Contains the IO integration APIs
+    * `pktfwd.h` - Contains the packet forwarding API. **Not included by default**
+    * `vbucket.h` - Contains the vBucket mapping API. **Not included by default**
+
+* OpenSSL is now a base dependency for the library. This may be disabled at configure
+  time via `--enable-ssl=no`. See `./configure --help`.
+
+* Snappy compression library is bundled and optionally compiled. This is left out by
+  default as the configure script will search for a system installed `libsnappy`.
+  Snappy provides the compression feature needed for compressing and inflating data
+  between client and server. It may be disabled at compile-time via `--enable-snappy=no`
+
+* [minor] _libvbucket_ has been fully integrated into libcouchbase from the forked
+  _libvbucket_ package and, lives fully as part of the
+  library. The public vBucket API may be found in `<libcouchbase/vbucket.h>`.
+
+* [minor] As an alternative to the cross-platform `lcb_uintNN_t` typedefs, a shorter
+  (and more standards compliant) alternative `lcb_UNN` typedefs are provided, thus
+  instead of `lcb_uint32_t` you may use `lcb_U32`. The full listing of cross platform
+  typdefs may be found inside `<libcouchbase/sysdefs.h>`
+
+
+
+## 2.3.1 (2014-05-08)
+
+* [major] CCBC-404: Segfault in `connmgr_invoke_request`
+  Occasionally a segmentation fault would happen when a connection was being
+  released as a result of a connection failure. This was because of invalid
+  list tracking.
+
+* [major] CCBC-395: Add `lcb_cntl()` interface for configuration cache
+  Configuration cache options may be set after instantiation using `lcb_cntl()`
+  with the new `LCB_CNTL_CONFIGCACHE` operation. The old-style `lcb_create_compat`
+  creation path is deprecated.
+
+* [major] CCBC-394: Get-with-replica occasionally crashes on Windows and UV
+  during topology changes. This was due to not allocating a buffer if one did
+  not exist.
+
+* [major] CCBC-392: ABI compatibility broken between 2.x and 2.3 for
+  `lcb_create_compat`. This has been fixed by symbol aliasing between versions.
+  Developers are recommended to use the `lcb_cntl()` API to set the
+  configuration cache, as specified in CCBC-395
+
+* [major] CCBC-385: Failed assertion on get-with-replica when connection fails.
+  If a connection fails with a `CMD_GET_REPLICA` command still in the queue an
+  assertion failure will crash the library. This has been fixed by handling the
+  opcode in the `failout_single_request` function.
+
+* [major] CCBC-384: Unknown Winsock error codes crash application. This was fixed
+  by providing proper handlers for Winsock codes which were not explicitly
+  converted into their POSIX equivalents.
+
+* [major] CCBC-376: Fix memory leak in configuration parsing. A leak was
+  introduced in version 2.3.0 by not freeing the JSON pool structure. This has
+  been fixed in 2.3.1
+
+* [minor] CCBC-370: `lcb_get_host` and `lcb_get_port` may return host-port
+  combinations from different servers. If multiple servers are listening on
+  different ports this may result in yielding an invalid endpoint by combining
+  the output from those two functions. This has been fixed in 2.3.1 by returning
+  the host and port from the first host, in lieu of a currently-connected REST
+  endpoint.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-368: Initial bootstrapping failure may mask `LCB_BUCKET_ENOENT`
+  calls with `LCB_ETIMEDOUT`. This has been fixed by not retrying configuration
+  retrieval if an explicit HTTP 404 code is received. Note that when using
+  bootstrap over memcached, a missing bucket may still be manifest as
+  `LCB_AUTH_ERROR`.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-367: Ensure `lcb_get_host` does not return `NULL` when the
+  associated `lcb_t` is of `LCB_TYPE_CLUSTER`. This would cause crashes in some
+  applications which relied on this function to not return `NULL`.
+
+* [major] CCBC-389: Fixed Spurious timeouts being delivered in asynchronous
+  use cases.
+  In applications which do not use `lcb_wait()` the library will potentially
+  time out commands internally triggering an erroneous configuration refresh.
+  While this issue would not end up failing operations it will cause unnecessary
+  network traffic for retrieving configurations. Applications using `lcb_wait()`
+  are not affected as that function resets the timeout handler.
+
+* [major] CCBC-332, CCBC-364: Compare configuration revision information
+  for memcached cluster bootstrap. Previously we would refresh the
+  configuration upon receipt
+  of any new configuration update from memcached. This is fixed in 2.3.1 where
+  the configuration will only be applied if it is deemed to be newer than the
+  current configuration. With memcached bootstrap this is only true if the
+  configuration's `rev` field is higher than the current one.
+
+
+## 2.3.0 GA (2014-04-07)
+
+* [major] CCBC-152: Provide a master-only observe option. This adds a new
+  struct version to the `lcb_observe_cmd_t` which allows to select only the
+  master node. One can use this to efficiently check if the key exists (without
+  retrieving it). It also allows one to get the CAS of the item without fetching
+  it.
+
+* [major] CCBC-281: Fix partial scheduling during multi operations. Previously
+  the library would deliver spurious callbacks  if multiple operations were
+  scheduled with a single command and one of the operations could not be mapped
+  to a server. This fixes this behavior and ensures that callbacks are only
+  invoked for items if the entire API call succeeded.
+
+* [major] CCBC-150: Multi-packet commands will no longer deliver spurious
+  callbacks on failure. Previously these commands would be relocated to the
+  same server during a configuration change, resulting in multiple callbacks
+  for the same command. In this case the client would think all the commands
+  had been completed, and when the next response arrived it would incorrectly
+  map it to a different request.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-327: Fix assumption of `vbucket_compare()` only returning if
+  a diff exists. This function actually returns a non-NULL pointer always
+  unless it cannot allocate more memory. This bug was introduced with the
+  _DP1_ release.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-326: Memcached buckets should use streaming config. This was
+  left unchecked in the _DP1_ release and has now been fixed.
+
+* [major] CCBC-351: Enhance performance for configuration parsing. In previous
+  versions receiving multiple configurations at once would cause CPU spikes on
+  slower systems. The configuration parser code has been optimized to alleviate
+  this issue.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-350: Provide `lcb_cntl()` API to retrieve the SCM changeset used
+  by the currently loaded binary. This is a more effective way to get the
+  revision as it does not depend on the specific headers the library was
+  compiled with.
+
+* [major] CCBC-340: Correctly parse `""`, `"0"` and `"1"` for environment
+  variables. In previous versions having the entry set to an empty string
+  or `0` would still be treated by the library as a true value for various
+  environment variables. This has been fixed so that clear "False" values
+  such as the empty string or 0 are treated as such.
+
+
+## 2.3.0-dp1 (2014-02-04)
+
+* [major] CCBC-234: Implementation of
+  [Cluster Configuration Carrier Publication][cccp-wiki]. This is the new and
+  more efficient way to bootstrap from a cluster using the native memcached
+  protocol and is quicker than the previous HTTP bootstrap mechanism, dramatically
+  improving startup times and reducing load on the server. This feature is
+  available in server verions 2.5 and greater. The existing HTTP configuration is
+  still supported and will be employed as a fallback in the event that `CCCP`
+  is not supported.
+
+  In conjunction with this, a new struct version has been added to the
+  `lcb_create_st` parameters structure for use with `lcb_create`. This allows
+  you to get more control over how the client is initialized:
+
+    lcb_t instance;
+    struct lcb_create_st options;
+    lcb_config_transport_t enabled_transports = {
+        LCB_CONFIG_TRANSPORT_CCCP,
+        LCB_CONFIG_TRANSPORT_LIST_END
+    };
+
+    memset(&options, 0, sizeof(options));
+    options.version = 2;
+    options.v.v2.mchosts = "example.com:11210";
+    options.v.v2.transports = enabled_transports;
+
+    lcb_error_t rc = lcb_create(&instance, &options);
+    if (rc != LCB_SUCCESS) {
+        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create instance: %s
+", lcb_strerror(instance, rc));
+    }
+
+  The above snippet will configure a client to _always_ use the `CCCP` protocol
+  and never attempt to fall back on HTTP
+
+  The CCCP implementation required a significant rewrite in how sockets were
+  created and re-used. Particularly, a connection pooling feature was implemented.
+
+  Additionally, the `cbc` command now has an additional `-C` option which accepts
+  the preferred configuration mechanism to use.
+
+* [major] CCBC-305: Implement logging hooks.
+
+  This improvements adds various levels of diagnostic logging with the library
+  itself. It may be utilized via the environment (by setting the `LCB_LOGLEVEL`
+  environment variable to a positive integer -- the higher the number the more
+  verbose the logging).
+
+  Integrators may also use the logging API specified in `<libcouchbase/types.h>`
+  to proxy the library's logging messages into your own application.
+
+  Current events logged include connection initialization, destruction, connection
+  pool management, configuration changes, and timeouts.
+
+  By default the library is silent.
+
+* [major] CCBC-316: Allow per-node bootstrap/config timeouts.
+  This change allows more finer grained control over how long to wait per-node
+  to receive updated configuration info. This setting helps adjust the initial
+  and subsequent bootstrap processes to help ensure each node gets a slice of
+  time.
+
+* [major] CCBC-297: Handle spurious EWOULDBLOCK on UV/Win32
+  This issue caused odd errors on Windows when large amounts of data
+  would be received on the socket.
+
+## 2.2.0 (2013-10-05)
+
+* [major] CCBC-169 Handle 302 redirects in HTTP (views, administrative
+  requests). By default the library will follow up to three redirects.
+  Once the limit reached the request will be terminated with code
+  `LCB_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS`. Limit is configurable through
+  `LCB_CNTL_MAX_REDIRECTS`. If set to -1, it will disable redirect
+  limit.
+
+      int new_value = 5;
+      lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_SET, LCB_CNTL_MAX_REDIRECTS, &new_value);
+
+* [major] CCBC-243 Replace isasl with cbsasl, the latter has
+  implemented both PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentication mechanisms.
+
+  * `LCB_CNTL_MEMDNODE_INFO` command updated to include effective
+    SASL mechanism:
+
+        cb_cntl_server_t node;
+        node.version = 1;
+        node.v.v1.index = 0; /* first node */
+        lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_GET, LCB_CNTL_MEMDNODE_INFO, &node);
+        if (node.v.v1.sasl_mech) {
+            printf("authenticated via SASL '%s'
+",
+                   node.v.v1.sasl_mech);
+        }
+
+  * It is also possible to force specific authentication mechanism for
+    the connection handle using `LCB_CNTL_FORCE_SASL_MECH` command:
+
+        lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_SET, LCB_CNTL_FORCE_SASL_MECH, "PLAIN");
+
+* [major] CCBC-286 libuv plugin: use same CRT for free/malloc
+
+* [major] CCBC-288 Fail `NOT_MY_VBUCKET` responses on timeout
+
+* [major] CCBC-275 Do a full purge when negotiation times out. In this
+  case we must purge the server from all commands and not simply pop
+  individual items.
+
+* [major] CCBC-275 Reset the server's buffers upon reconnection. This
+  fixes a crash experienced when requesting a new read with the
+  previous buffer still in tact. This was exposed by calling
+  `lcb_failout_server` on a timeout error while maintaining the same
+  server struct.
+
+* [major] CCBC-282 Make server buffers reentrant-safe. When purging
+  implicit commands, we invoke callbacks which may in turn cause other
+  LCB entry points to be invoked which can shift the contents and/or
+  positions of the ringbuffers we're reading from.
+
+* [major] CCBC-204, CCBC-205 Stricter/More inspectable behavior for
+  config cache. This provides a test and an additional `lcb_cntl`
+  operation to check the status of the configuration cache. Also it
+  switches off config cache with memcached buckets.
+
+      int is_loaded;
+      lcb_cntl(instance, LCB_CNTL_GET, LCB_CNTL_CONFIG_CACHE_LOADED, &is_loaded);
+      if (is_loaded) {
+          printf("Configuration cache saved us a trip to the config server
+");
+      } else {
+          printf("We had to contact the configuration server for some reason
+");
+      }
+
+* [major] CCBC-278 Use common config retry mechanism for bad
+  configcache. This uses the same error handling mechanism as when a
+  bad configuration has been received from the network. New
+  `LCB_CONFIG_CACHE_INVALID` error code to notify the user of such a
+  situation
+
+* [major] CCBC-274 Handle getl/unl when purging the server (thanks
+  Robert Groenenberg)
+
+* [major] Don't failout all commands on a timeout. Only fail those
+  commands which are old enough to have timed out already.
+
+* [major] CCBC-269 Don't record and use TTP/TTR from observe. Just
+  poll at a fixed interval, as the responses from the server side can
+  be unreliable.
+
+* [minor] Allow hooks for mapping server codes to errors. This also
+  helps handle sane behavior if a new error code is introduced, or
+  allow user-defined logging when a specific error code is received.
+
+      lcb_errmap_callback default_callback;
+
+      lcb_error_t user_map_error(lcb_t instance, lcb_uint16_t in)
+      {
+        if (in == PROTOCOL_BINARY_RESPONSE_ETMPFAIL) {
+          fprintf(stderr, "temporary failure on server
+");
+        }
+        return default_callback(instance, in);
+      }
+
+      ...
+
+      default_callback = lcb_set_errmap_callback(conn, user_map_error);
+
+* [minor] Add an example of a connection pool. See
+  `example/instancepool` directory
+
+* [minor] CCBC-279 Force `lcb_wait` return result of wait operation
+  instead of `lcb_get_last_error`. It returns `last_error` if and only
+  if the handle is not yet configured
+
+* [minor] CCBC-284 `cbc-pillowfight`: compute item size correctly
+  during set If `minSize` and `maxSize` are set to the same value it
+  can sometimes crash since it may try to read out of memory bounds
+  from the allocated data buffer.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-283 Apply key prefix CLI option in cbc-pillowfight
+
+* [minor] Add `--enable-maintainer-mode`. Maintainer mode enables
+  `--enable-werror --enable-warnings --enable-debug`, forces all
+  plugins to be installed and forces all tests, tools, and examples to
+  be built
+
+* [minor] CCBC-255 Expose `LCB_MAX_ERROR` to allow user-defined codes
+
+## 2.1.3 (2013-09-10)
+
+* [minor] Updated gtest to version 1.7.0. Fixes issue with building
+  test suite with new XCode 5.0 version being released later this
+  month.
+
+* [major] CCBC-265 Do not try to parse config for `LCB_TYPE_CLUSTER`
+  handles. It fixes timouts for management operations (like 'cbc
+  bucket-create', 'cbc bucket-flush', 'cbc bucket-delete' and 'cbc
+  admin')
+
+* [major] CCBC-263 Skip unfinished SASL commands on rebalance. During
+  rebalance, it is possible that the newly added server doesn't have
+  chance to finish SASL auth before the cluster will push config
+  update, in this case packet relocator messing cookies. Also the
+  patch makes sure that SASL command/cookie isn't mixing with other
+  commands
+
+* [major] Use cluster type connection for cbc-bucket-flush. Although
+  flush command is accessible for bucket type connections,
+  cbc-bucket-flush doesn't use provided bucket name to connect to,
+  therefore it will fail if the bucket name isn't "default".
+
+* [major] Allow to make connect order deterministic. It allows the
+  user to toggle between deterministic and random connect order for
+  the supplied nodes list. By default it will randomize the list.
+
+* [major] Do not allow to use Administrator account for
+  `LCB_TYPE_BUCKET`
+
+* [major] CCBC-258 Fig segmentation faults during tests load of
+  node.js. Sets `inside_handler` on `socket_connected`. Previously we
+  were always using SASL auth, and as such, we wouldn't flush packets
+  from the `cmd_log` using `server_send_packets` (which calls
+  `apply_want`). `apply_want` shouldn't be called more than once per
+  event loop entry -- so this sets and unsets the `inside_handler`
+  flag.
+
+* [major] Added support of libuv 0.8
+
+* [major] Close config connection before trying next node. It will fix
+  asserts in case of the config node becomes unresponsive, and the
+  threshold controlled by `LCB_CNTL_CONFERRTHRESH` and `lcb_cntl(3)`
+
+## 2.1.2 (2013-08-27)
+
+* [major] CCBC-253, CCBC-254 Use bucket name in SASL if username
+  omitted. Without this fix, you can may encounter a segmentation
+  faults for buckets, which are not protected by a password.
+
+* [major] Preserve IO cookie in `options_from_info` when using v0
+  plugins with user-provided IO loop instance. This issue was
+  introduced in 2.1.0.
+
+* [minor] Display the effective IO backend in 'cbc-version'. This is
+  helpful to quickly detect what is the effective IO plugin on a given
+  system.
+
+## 2.1.1 (2013-08-22)
+
+* [minor] Use provided credentials for authenticating to the data
+  nodes. With this fix, it is no longer possible to use Administrator
+  credentials with a bucket. If your configuration does so, you must
+  change the credentials you use before applying this update. No
+  documentation guides use of Administrator credentials, so this
+  change is not expected to affect few, if any deployments.
+
+* [major] CCBC-239 Do not use socket after failout. Fixes segmentation
+  faults during rebalance.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-245 Distribute debug information with release binaries
+  on Windows
+
+* [minor] CCBC-248 Do not disable config.h on UNIX-like platforms. It
+  fixes build issue, when application is trying to include plugins
+  from the tarball.
+
+* [major] CCBC-192 Skip misconfigured nodes in the list. New
+  lcb\_cntl(3couchbase) added to control whether the library will skip
+  nodes in initial node list, which listen on configuration port (8091
+  usually) but doesn't meet required parameters (invalid
+  authentication or missing bucket). By default report this issue and
+  stop trying nodes from the list, like all previous release. Read
+  more at man page lcb\_cntl(3couchbase) in section
+  LCB\_CNTL\_SKIP\_CONFIGURATION\_ERRORS\_ON\_CONNECT
+
+* [major] CCBC-246 Fallback to 'select' IO plugin if default plugin
+   cannot be loaded. On UNIX-like systems, default IO backend is
+   'libevent', which uses third-party library might be not available
+   at the run-time. Read in lcb\_cntl(3couchbase) man page in section
+   LCB\_CNTL\_IOPS\_DEFAULT\_TYPES about how to determine effective IO
+   plugin, when your code chose to use LCB\_IO\_OPS\_DEFAULT during
+   connection instantiation. The fallback mode doesn't affect
+   application which specify IO backend explicitly.
+
+## 2.1.0 (2013-08-17)
+
+* [major] New backend `select`. This backend is based on the select(2)
+  system call and its Windows version. It could be considered the most
+  portable solution and is available with the libcouchbase core.
+
+* [major] CCBC-236 New backend `libuv`. This backend previously was
+  part of the `couchnode` project and is now available as a plugin.
+  Because libuv doesn't ship binary packages there is no binary
+  package `libcouchbase2-libuv`. You can build plugin from the source
+  distribution, or through the `libcouchbase-dev` or
+  `libcouchbase-devel` package on UNIX like systems.
+
+* [major] New backend `iocp`. This is a Windows specific backend,
+  which uses "I/O Completion Ports". As a part of the change, a new
+  version of plugin API was introduced which is more optimized to this
+  model of asynchronous IO.
+
+* [major] CCBC-229 Fixed bug when REPLICA\_FIRST fails if first try
+  does not return key
+
+* [major] CCBC-228 Fixed bug when REPLICA\_SELECT didn't invoke
+  callbacks for negative error codes
+
+* [major] CCBC-145 API for durability operations. This new API is
+  based on `lcb_observe(3)` and allows you to monitor keys more
+  easily. See the man pages `lcb_durability_poll(3)` and
+  `lcb_set_durability_callback(3)` for more info.
+
+* [major] New configuration interface lcb\_cntl(3) along with new
+  tunable options of the library and connection instances. In this
+  release the following settings are available. See the man page for
+  more information and examples.:
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_OP\_TIMEOUT operation timeout (default 2.5 seconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_CONFIGURATION\_TIMEOUT time to fetch cluster
+    configuration. This is similar to a connection timeout (default 5
+    seconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_VIEW\_TIMEOUT timeout for couchbase views (default 75
+    seconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_HTTP\_TIMEOUT timeout for other HTTP operations like
+    RESTful flush, bucket creating etc. (default 75 seconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_RBUFSIZE size of the internal read buffer (default
+    32768 bytes)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_WBUFSIZE size of the internal write buffer (default
+    32768 bytes)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_HANDLETYPE type of the `lcb\_t` handler (readonly)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_VBCONFIG returns pointer to VBUCKET\_CONFIG\_HANDLE
+    (readonly)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_IOPS get the implementation of IO (lcb\_io\_opt\_t)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_VBMAP get vBucket ID for a given key
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_MEMDNODE\_INFO get memcached node info
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_CONFIGNODE\_INFO get config node info
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_SYNCMODE control synchronous behaviour (default
+    LCB\_ASYNCHRONOUS)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_IP6POLICY specify IPv4/IPv6 policy (default
+    LCB\_IPV6\_DISABLED)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_CONFERRTHRESH control configuration error threshold
+    (default 100)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_DURABILITY\_TIMEOUT durability timeout (default 5 seconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_DURABILITY\_INTERVAL durability polling interval (default
+    100 milliseconds)
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_IOPS\_DEFAULT\_TYPES get the default IO types
+
+  * LCB\_CNTL\_IOPS\_DLOPEN\_DEBUG control verbose printing of dynamic
+    loading of IO plugins.
+
+## 2.0.7 (2013-07-10)
+
+* [major] CCBC-183 Improve `lcb_get_replica()`. Now it is possible
+  to choose between three strategies:
+
+  1. `LCB_REPLICA_FIRST`: Previously accessible and now the default,
+     the caller will get a reply from the first replica to successfully
+     reply within the timeout for the operation or will receive an
+     error.
+
+  2. `LCB_REPLICA_ALL`: Ask all replicas to send documents/items
+     back.
+
+  3. `LCB_REPLICA_SELECT`: Select one replica by the index in the
+     configuration starting from zero. This approach can more quickly
+     receive all possible replies for a given topology, but it can
+     also generate false negatives.
+
+  Note that applications should not assume the order of the
+  replicas indicates more recent data is at a lower index number.
+  It is up to the application to determine which version of a
+  document/item it may wish to use in the case of retrieving data
+  from a replica.
+
+## 2.0.6 (2013-05-07)
+
+* [major] CCBC-188 Fix segfault when rebalancing
+  When a (!connected) server is reconnected, the tasks in its
+  "pending" buffer will be moved into "output" buffer. If its
+  connection is broken again immediately, `relocate_packets()` will go
+  to wrong path.
+
+* [major] CCBC-202 Don't try to switch to backup nodes when timeout is
+  reached
+
+* [major] CCBC-188 Check if SASL struct is valid before disposing
+
+* [major] Fix compile error with sun studio
+  "src/event.c", line 172: error: statement not reached (`E_STATEMENT_NOT_REACHED`)
+
+* [major] Don't invoke HTTP callbacks after cancellation, because
+  user code might assume a previously-freed resource is still valid
+
+* [minor] CCBC-179 Added an example to properly use the bucket
+  credentials for authentication instead of administrator credentials
+
+* [minor] example/yajl/couchview.c: pass cookie to the command
+  Fixes coredump when executing ./examples/yajl/couchview
+
+* [minor] CCBC-201 Add Host header in http request
+  http://cbugg.hq.couchbase.com/bug/bug-555 points out that Host is a
+  required field in HTTP 1.1
+
+## 2.0.5 (2013-04-05)
+
+* [minor] Try to search the --libdir for modules if dlopen
+  fails to find the module in the default library path
+
+* [minor] CCBC-190 New compat mode (experimental) for configuration
+  caching. See man `lcb_create_compat()`
+
+* [minor] Manpage fixes
+
+* [minor] Fix build on FreeBSD (http://review.couchbase.org/25289)
+
+* [minor] Fix reconnecting issues on windows
+  (http://review.couchbase.org/25170 and
+   http://review.couchbase.org/25155)
+
+* [minor] pillowfight example updated to optionally use threads
+
+## 2.0.4 (2013-03-06)
+
+* [minor] CCBC-185 The bootstrap URI is not parsed correctly
+
+* [minor] CCBC-175 Work properly on systems where EWOULDBLOCK != EAGAIN
+
+* [critical] CCBC-180 Segmentation fault when the hostname resolved
+  into several addresses and first of them reject couchbase
+  connections.
+
+* [major] CCBC-182 The library stops iterating backup nodes list if
+  the next one isn't accessible.
+
+* [major] CCBC-147 Fixed illegal memory access in win32 plugin
+
+* [minor] CCBC-178 Build error on solaris/sparc: -Werror=cast-align
+
+## 2.0.3 (2013-02-06)
+
+* [minor] bypass SASL LIST MECH
+
+* [minor] Shrink internal lookup tables (and reduce the size of
+  `lcb_t`)
+
+* [minor] Add a new library: `libcouchbase_debug.so` (see
+  include/libcouchbase/debug.h) which is a new library that contains
+  new debug functionality.
+
+* [minor] Added manual pages for the library
+
+* [major] CCBC-153 Reset internal state on `lcb_connect()`. Allow caller
+  to use `lcb_connect()` multiple times to implement reconnecting using
+  the same `lcb_t` instance. Also it sets up the initial-connection
+  timer for users who don't use `lcb_wait()` and drive IO loop manually.
+
+* [major] CCBC-171 Invalid read in libevent plugin, when the plugin
+  compiled in 1.x mode
+
+* [critical] CCBC-155 Observe malfunctions in the case of multiple
+  keys and server failure
+
+* [major] CCBC-156 The ep-engine renders meaningful body for observe
+  responses only if status code is 0 (`PROTOCOL_BINARY_RESPONSE_SUCCESS`).
+  We shouldn't interpret response body in other cases, just decode &
+  failout request instead. Also we shouldn't retry observe commands on
+  `PROTOCOL_BINARY_RESPONSE_NOT_MY_VBUCKET`, because it can cause the
+  client to loop infinitely
+
+* [major] CCBC-145 KV Durability operation API. Async APIs added to
+  allow the checking of the durability (replication and persistence)
+  status of a key, and to notify the user when a specific criteria has
+  been satisfied.
+
+## 2.0.2 (2013-01-04)
+
+* [major] CCBC-150 commands sent to multiple servers fail to detect
+  the respose if mixed with other commands.
+
+* [minor] CCBC-143 'cbc version' reports that uses 2.0.0, but really
+  installed with 2.0.1. Minor but confusing issue.
+
+* [major] CCBC-151 Cancellation of the HTTP request might lead to
+  memory leaks or to segfaults (2e3875c2).
+
+* [minor] Document `LCB_SERVER_BUG` and `LCB_PLUGIN_VERSION_MISMATCH`.
+  Enhance the the `lcb_strerror()` test to detect undocumented error
+  codes.
+
+* [critical] CCBC-153 Under high load the library could generate
+  `LCB_ETIMEDOUT` errors without reason owing to internal limitations.
+
+## 2.0.1 (2012-12-11)
+
+50 files changed, 1009 insertions(+), 274 deletions(-)
+
+* libev-plugin: delay all timers while the loop isn't active. It will
+  fix `LCB_ETIMEOUT` in the following scenario:
+
+  * connect the instance
+  * sleep for time greater than default timeout (e.g. 3 seconds)
+  * schedule and execute a command (it will be timed out
+    immediately)
+
+* libev-plugin: reset IO event on delete. We need to reset it,
+  because it might be re-used later
+
+* CCBC-136: do not abort when purging SASL commands
+
+* Make library C89 friendly again
+
+* CCBC-132, CCBC-133: Ensure HTTP works even when the network may be
+  unreliable. This changeset encompasses several issues which had been
+  found with HTTP requests during network errors and configuration
+  changes. Specifically some duplicate code paths were removed, and
+  the process for delivering an HTTP response back to the user is more
+  streamlined.
+
+* CCBC-130: Fix a memory leak on the use of http headers
+
+* CCBC-131: Compensate for cluster nodes lacking couchApiBase
+
+* Fix possible SEGFAULT. Not-periodic timers are destroyed after
+  calling user's callback, after that library performed read from
+  freed pointer.
+
+* SystemTap and DTrace integration
+

+
+* Install unlock callback in synchronous mode
+
+* Add the CAS to the delete callback
+
+* Minor update of the packaging layout:

+  * extract debug symbols from libcouchbase-{bin,core} to
+    libcouchbase-dbg package
+
+## 2.0.0beta3 (2012-11-21)
+
+64 files changed, 3641 insertions(+), 735 deletions(-)
+
+* CCBC-104 Fix illegal memory access. Reconnect config listener if the
+  config connection was gone without proper shutdown.
+
+* Check for EWOULDBLOCK/EINTR on failed send
+
+* Allow to use gethrtime() from C++
+
+* Fix using freed memory (was introduced in 4397181)
+
+* Use dynamic versioning for plugins
+
+* Remove libtool version from the plugins
+
+* Allow to use 'cbc-hash' with files
+
+* CCBC-120 Purge stale OBSERVE packets
+
+* CCBC-120 Reformat and refactor `lcb_server_purge_implicit_responses`:
+
+  * move packet allocation out of GET handler
+  * dropping NOOP command shouldn't return error code
+
+* CCBC-122 Try to switch another server from backup list on timeout
+
+* CCBC-119: Allow the user to specify a different hash key. All of the
+  data operations contains a hashkey and nhashkey field. This allows
+  you to "group" items together in your cluster. A typical use case
+  for this is if you're storing lets say data for a single user in
+  multiple objects. If you want to ensure that either all or none of
+  the objects are available if a server goes down, it could be a good
+  idea to locate them on the same server. Do bear in mind that if you
+  do try to decide where objects is located, you may end up with an
+  uneven distribution of the number of items on each node. This will
+  again result in some nodes being more busy than others etc. This is
+  why some clients doesn't allow you to do this, so bear in mind that
+  by doing so you might not be able to get your objects from other
+  clients.
+
+* Create man pages for cbc and cbcrc
+
+* CCBC-118 `lcb_error_t` member in the http callbacks shouldn't reflect
+  the HTTP response code. So the error code will be always `LCB_SUCCESS`
+  if the library managed to receive the data successfully.
+
+* Timer in libev uses double for interval. Ref:
+  [](http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#code_ev_timer_code_relative_and_opti)
+
+* CCBC-115 Return zero from `do_read_data()` if `operations_per_call`
+  reached. The `operations_per_call' limit was introduced to prevent
+  from freezing event loop. But in the function variable rv could
+  store two different results and in case of reaching this limit it is
+  returning number of the processed records, which is wrong. The
+  function should return either zero (success) or non-zero (failure).
+
+* Do not allow admin operations without authentication
+
+* Fix cbc-bucket-create. `sasl-password' is misspelled, and it fails
+  to parse the command line option.
+
+* CCBC-114 Lookup the plugin symbol also in the current executable
+  image.
+
+* CCBC-113 Remove unauthorized asserion (d344037). The
+  `lcb_server_send_packets()` function later check if the server object
+  connected and establish connection if not (with raising possible
+  errors)
+
+* Try all known plugins for `LCB_IO_OPS_DEFAULT` in run time
+
+* Don't use the `time_t` for win32. When compiling from php it turns out
+  that it gets another size of the `time_t` type, causing the struct
+  offsets to differ.
+
+* Add `lcb_verify_compiler_setup()`. This function allows the "user" of
+  the library to verify that the compiler use a compatible struct
+  packing scheme.
+
+* CCBC-87: Add documentation about the error codes
+
+## 2.0.0beta2 (2012-10-12)
+
+81 files changed, 2822 insertions(+), 1353 deletions(-)
+
+* Search ev.h also in ${includedir}/libev
+
+* Fix SEGFAULT if IO struct is allocated not by the `lcb_create()`
+
+* Allow libcouchbase to connect to an instance without specifying bucket. It is useful
+  when the bucket not needed, e.g. when performing administration
+  tasks.
+
+* Fix memory leak after an unsuccessful connection
+
+* Fix invalid memory access in cbc tool. Affected command is
+  cbc-bucket-create
+
+* `lcb_create`: replace `assert()` with error code
+
+* CCBC-105 breakout event loop in default `error_callback`. This provides
+  better default behaviour for users who haven't defined global error
+  callback.
+
+* Allow users to build the library without dependencies. For example,
+  without plugins at all. This may be useful if the plugin is
+  implemented by or built into the host application.
+
+* Allow users to install both libraries (2.x and 1.x) on the same system.
+
+* Make the content type optional for `lcb_make_http_request()`
+
+* Fix password memory leak in http.c (7e71493)
+
+* Add support for raw http requests. libcouchase already contains all
+  the bits to execute a raw http request, except for the possibility
+  to specify a host:port, username and password.
+
+* Cleanup HTTP callbacks. Use the same callbacks both for Management
+  and View commands, and rename them to `lcb_http_complete_callback` and
+  `lcb_http_data_callback`.
+
+* Allow users to use environment variables to pick the event plugin
+
+* Add a new interface version for creating IO objects via plugins
+
+* Implement a new libev plugin. It is compatible with both libev3 and
+  libev4.
+
+* CCBC-103: Fix linked event/timer lists for win32
+
+* Allow to disable CXX targets
+
+* `lcb_connect()` should honor the syncmode setting. Automatically call
+  `lcb_wait()` when in synchronous mode
+
+## 2.0.0beta (2012-09-13)
+
+123 files changed, 13753 insertions(+), 8264 deletions(-)
+
+* Refactor the API. This is a full redesign of the current
+  libcouchbase API that'll allow us to extend parts of the API without
+  breaking binary compatibility. Also it renames all functions to have
+  `lcb_` prefix instead of `libcouchbase_` and `LCB`/`LIBCOUCHBASE` in macros.
+
+* Added --enable-fat-binary. Helps to solve issues when linking with
+  fat binaries on MacOS.
+
+* Implement getter for number of nodes in the cluster:
+  `lcb_get_num_nodes()`
+
+* Implement RESTful flush in the cbc toolset
+
+* Bundle Windows packages as zip archives
+
+* CCBC-98 Differentiate between TMPFAILs. This allows a developer
+  to know if the temporary condition where the request cannot be
+  handled is due to a constraint on the client or the server.
+
+* Don't try to put the current node last in the backup list. This may
+  cause "duplicates" in the list if the REST server returns another
+  name for the server than you used.  Ex: you specify "localhost" and
+  the REST response contains 127.0.0.1
+
+* Fix locking keys in multi-get mode
+
+* Fix bug where HTTP method is not set
+
+* CCBC-96 Correct buffer length for POST/PUT headers
+
+* Add `lcb_get_server_list`

+
+* Fix mingw build (c394a1c)

+* Deliver HTTP headers via callbacks
+
+* Unify HTTP interface. This means massive rename of the symbols
+
+* CCBC-92 release ringbuffer in `lcb_purge_single_server`

+  * cbc-verbosity
+  * cbc-admin

+* Do not call View callbacks for cancelled requests
+
+* Fix `ringbuffer_memcpy()` (36afdb2)
+
+* CCBC-62 A hang could occur in `libcouchbase_wait()` after the timeout

+
+* CCBC-65 A small memory leak can occur with frequent calls to
+  `libcouchbase_create()` and `libcouchbase_destroy()`
+
+* CCBC-64. Timeouts can occur during topology changes, rather than be

+
+* Fix `ringbuffer_is_continous()`
+
+* Pick up cookies from pending buffer unless node connected
+
+* RCBC-33 A fix for a buffer overflow with the supplied password as

+* CCBC-59 Don't wait for empty buffers. If called with no operations
+  queued, `libcouchbase_wait()` will block forever. This means that a
+  single threaded application that calls `libcouchbase_wait()` at
+  different times to make sure operations are sent to the server runs
+  the risk of stalling indefinitely. This is a very likely scenario.
+
+* Don't define `size_t` and `ssize_t` for VS2008

+
+* Implement VERSION command from binary protocol
+
+* Allow use of libcouchbase to pure memcached clusters by using
+  `libcouchbase_create_compat()` function
+
+* Always sign deb packages and allow to pass PGP key
+
+* Bundle the protocol definitions for memcached
+  (`memcached/protocol_binary.h` and `memcached/vbucket.h`) to make it
+  easier to build
+
+* Bundle sasl client implementation
+
+* Fix windows build for MS Visual Studio 9
+
+  * define `E*` if missing
+  * stdint header
+
+* Add support for multiple hosts for the bootstrap URL. A list of
+  hosts:port separated by ';' to the administration port of the
+  couchbase cluster. (ex: "host1;host2:9000;host3" would try to
+  connect to host1 on port 8091, if that fails it'll connect to host2
+  on port 9000 etc)
+
+* Raise error if <stdint.h> missing
+
+* Add JSON support for cbc-cp command
+
+* Add option to set timeout for cbc
+
+* Added support for '-' to cp
+
+* Added cbc-verify: verify content in cache with files
+
+* Now cbc supports better usage messages

+
+* CCBC-38 Use alternate nodes when current is dead. A fix to allow the
+  client library to failover automatically to other nodes when the
+  initial bootstrap node becomes unavailable has been added. All users
+  are recommended to upgrade for this fix.
+
+* Fix connect timeouts. Timeouts are per-operation and only set if
+  there is any I/O. The special exception to this is initial
+  connections, which do not necessarily have a data stream or write
+  buffer associated wiht them yet.
+
+* Update to new MT-safe libvbucket API
+
+* Add option for embedding libevent IO plugin
+
+* Fix multi-{get,touch} requests handling when nkeys > 1
+
+* Allow to build without tools which require C++ compiler
+
+* Destroy event base if we created it
+
+* CCBC-51 Check server index before using
+
+* Handle `PROTOCOL_BINARY_RESPONSE_NOT_MY_VBUCKET` and retry it until
+  success or another error, which can be handled by caller
+
+* Do not attempt SASL when SASL already in progress
+
+* Finer grained error reporting for basic REST errors:
+
+  * return `LIBCOUCHBASE_AUTH_ERROR` on HTTP 401
+  * return `LIBCOUCHBASE_BUCKET_ENOENT` on HTTP 404
+  * event loop is stopped (via `maybe_breakout`) on REST error
+
+* Fixed segfaults and memory access errors on libevent1.4
+
+* Allow for notification on initial vbucket config. This makes
+  libcouchbase `stop_event_loop` and libcouchbase maybe breakout work
+  properly in cooperative asynchronous event loops. the wait flag is
+  set by `libcouchbase_wait()` and unset by `maybe_breakout`.
+  Additionally, `breakout_vbucket_state_listener` will call
+  `maybe_breakout` as well, instead of having synchronous behavior
+  assumed by `libcouchbase_wait()`
+
+* Fix `sasl_list_mech_response_handler()`. `sasl_client_start()` expects
+  null-terminated string
+
+* Refactor: use `libcouchbase_xxxx` for the datatypes
+
+* Do not notify user about the same error twice. Use command callback
+  when it's possible. (e.g. where the `libcouchbase_server_t` is
+  accessible and we can `libcouchbase_failout_server()`)
+
+* Install configuration.h for win32
+
+* CCBC-20 Implement operation timeouts. Timeouts applies for all
+  operations, and the timer starts running from the moment you call
+  the libcouchbase operation you want. The timer includes times for
+  connect/send/ receive, and all of the time our application spend
+  before letting the event loop call callbacks into libcouchbase.
+
+* Fix double free() error when reading key from packet in handler.c
+  (b5d485a)

+  * get (get and touch)
+  * set

+
+* CCBC-5 Fixed abort in `do_read_data` (c=0x7b09bf0) at src/event.c:105

+  and receive the data in timings callback.
+
+* Basic TAP protocol implementation
+
+* Initial win32 support
