• Use comma as media type separator in Accept header
• Allow reduce=false parameter in map-only views (COUCHDB-881)
• Send unauthorized instead of db_not_found when remote URL in replicator request does not have required credentials

The release also fixes a bug breaking _show/_list/_update functions and _changes filters (BigCouch 36) and removes the stacktrace from 404 responses to restore replication checkpointing (BigCouch 37).
