Breaking changes

PouchDB follows semantic versioning. Major version releases indicate breaking changes.

PouchDB 3.0.0

• The browser build pouchdb-nightly.js has been renamed to pouchdb.js. It was never really a nightly anyway. (#2146)
• opts.server has been deprecated from the replicate() and sync() APIs. You can still replicate from one HTTP server to another, but the data will flow through PouchDB rather than being server-initiated. (#2313)
• You can no longer rely on errors to have an identifying name. Instead, rely on CouchDB-centric errors to have a status (i.e. err.status instead of err.name). There are some that still have an identifying name, but these could be removed at any time. The upside of this is that stack traces should be more consistently helpful. (#2545)

PouchDB 2.0.0

• Removed PouchDB.allDbs() (available as a plugin instead) #1352
• Prototype-based db objects. This means that var get = db.get will blow up, so write var get = db.get.bind(db) instead. #1150
• Prototype-based plugins API. Ditto for plugins. #1387
