I don’t think its been released yet but 1.3 is already much better than 1.2x. I found the bugs in 1.2 made it unusable (both in iOS and Android). You can upgrade by adding something like this to your gradle:
compile 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-android:1.3.0-45'
compile 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-java-listener:1.3.0-45'
compile 'com.couchbase.lite:couchbase-lite-java-javascript:1.3.0-45'
I’ve been trailing 1.3 for a a while now and its getting better all this time.
The nightly builds are here: http://latestbuilds.hq.couchbase.com/couchbase-lite-android/1.3.0/
How long do you have to leave it before the listener shuts down?
