At the April 2014 WebApps WG F2F [1] there was general agreement that moving forward with an Indexed Database "v2" spec was a good idea. Ali Alabbas (Microsoft) has volunteered to co-edit the spec with me. Maintaining compatibility is the highest priority; this will not break the existing API. We've been tracking additional features for quite some time now, both on the wiki [2] and bug tracker [3]. Several are very straightforward (continuePrimaryKey, batch gets, binary keys, ...) and have already been implemented in some user agents, and it will be helpful to document these. Others proposals (URLs, Promises, full text search, ...) are much more complex and will require additional implementation feedback; we plan to add features to the v2 spec based on implementer acceptance. This is an informal call for feedback to implementers on what is missing from v1: * What features and functionality do you see as important to include? * How would you prioritize the features? If there's anything you think is missing from the wiki [2], or want to comment on the importance of a particular feature, please call it out - replying here is great. This will help implementers decide what work to prioritize, which will drive the spec work. We'd also like to keep the v2 cycle shorter than the v1 cycle was, so timely feedback is appreciated - there's always room for a "v3".
