Couchbase 4.5 Developer Preview is now available!

As we head towards 4.5 GA, this is a significant milestone packed with many exciting features for more efficient querying, advanced data access, powerful indexing, and more comprehensive administration.

For developers, this is going to be a big preview release as it brings some exciting features including:

Query Workbench – a built-in query editor for writing and executing queries as well as exploring the data model with automatically inferred schemas
Full-text Search – support for term, fuzzy, phrase, match, and prefix queries has been added – faceting, scoring, and highlighting, too.
Sub-document API – enables clients to add, remove, and modify individual fields (or read them), including objects and arrays, without reading and writing the entire document
