Errors: - not reviewing - poor testing procedures - new code in 1.0.0????

Why your claim that its not as bad as mongo is crazy and self serving: - poor code quality is MUCH worse than a design you don't agree with. how could anyone trust couch? at least mongo is upfront about their design decisions, whether you agree or not - the couch team has gone on and on recently about how unreliable mongo is, and yet here is this... - there were a number of unanswered questions on mikeal's blog - sadly he took them down - probably because he didn't like them. maybe his couch db lost the data and he couldn't figure out why...

Also - really nice job attacking mongo while you guys have a MAJOR bug... classy and proessional...

Another funny thing - how long has 1.0.0 been out? 3 week or so? and this was just found? so what, there are like 10 people using couch in production?

And i'm sure this will be down-voted by the couch fan boys - but this ridiculousness has to be addressed.

Pure trolling. New user. Jabs at MongoDB aside, CouchDB has acted quickly and professionally to the kind of rare unfortunate critical bugs that can (and do) happen to software projects. This quality of response creates trust, not diminish it. Shit happens. What matters is that you admit the mistake and fix it as quickly and publicly as possible. Props to CouchDB.

The reason the bug took so long to surface is that it is only triggered by an edge case. Most users will not experience issues. After two reports of missing data, the whole team focussed on getting to the bottom of it. This is because we take data integrity seriously.

Or maybe you'll get down-voted for trying to play psychological games on the voters...

I don't believe the emergence of a single bug tarnishes an entire codebase and labels it as poor quality. This situation seems like a lapse of judgement in process, which they've fessed to and provided a path to correction for.
