RethinkDB 2.3 has new security features that bring more flexibility to database deployment and administration.

Here are some of the highlights: Network encryption: built-in TLS support encrypts database connections Users and permissions: you can achieve granular control over database access by creating user accounts and assigning permissions The fold command: we added a new fold command to the ReQL query language that lets you perform reduce -like operations on ordered streams, with optional support for emitting a stream of values based on the current accumulator state.
