couchdb 3.4.1

[cho-m]

Documentation / Release notes are out https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/; however, https://couchdb.apache.org only lists 3.3.3 so may want to wait a bit.

I don't mind switching to a pre-release if it means we can un-deprecate this sooner. CC @Homebrew/core for thoughts.

Agreed, happy to ship a prerelease over deprecating.

I think the reason why this release isn't on homepage (i.e. has no binaries) is https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/main/src/docs/src/whatsnew/3.4.rst#version-340

CouchDB version 3.4.0 includes a feature to automatically upgrade password hashes to a newer algorithm and a configuration option that enables this feature by default. As a consequence, if you are upgrading to CouchDB version 3.4.0 from an earlier version and then have to roll back to the earlier version, ...
...
The issue was found after the formal 3.4.0 release process has concluded, so the source release is available normally, but the CouchDB team has not made 3.4.0 convenience binaries available. The team recommends to upgrade to 3.4.1 instead when it is available.

So upstream is waiting on apache/couchdb@106873d

Exact scenario may be less likely in Homebrew (as we don't have older versions) but I guess a user could download older binaries and try to run their existing setup with it.
