1.3.0

As part of this release we had 157 commits which resulted in 63 issues being closed.

This is a feature release, with a focus on performance. Noteworthy changes:

• Support for OpenID Connect authentication, so you can log into Sync Gateway using a 3rd-party identity like a Google or Yahoo ID.
• Timed expiration of documents can help keep your database from growing indefinitely.
• Better performance with docs that have many revisions. Replication is faster, and older revisions are now automatically cleaned up in SQLite storage.
• Eliminate HttpClient library, and replace with OkHttp
• And of course many smaller optimizations, and lots of bug fixes.

Enhancements

• #708 Apache HTTP Client Removal/Deprecated in Android M.
• #820 Filter out _removed revision from push replication
• #1054 Support POST /_changes in Listener
• #1057 Cbforest master branch version fails with many unit test (1.2.0-java -> master)
• #1097 After purging a doc, its rows are left behind in view indexes
• #1099 Docs in SQLite dbs never get pruned until entire db is compacted
• #1194 Fallback to GET when POST is not allowed to _changes
• #1207 TTL support
• #1222 Make SQLite one writer and one/multiple reader modes to avoid waiting connection.
• #1247 Add public API to add an existing revision (AKA new_edits=false, or -forceInsert:)
• #1255 Authenticator for OpenID Connect
