I’ve reworked sofa recently after someone reported a bug in the package. Since the last post on this package on 2013-06-21, there’s a bunch of changes: Removed the sofa_ prefix from all functions as it wasn’t really necessary. Replaced rjson/RJSONIO with jsonlite for JSON I/O. New functions: revisions() - to get the revision numbers for a document. uuids() - get any number of UUIDs - e.g., if you want to set document IDs with UUIDs Most functions that deal with documents are prefixed with doc_ Functions that deal with databases are prefixed with db_ Simplified all code, reducing duplication All functions take cushion as the first parameter, for consistency sake....
