Version-Compatbility for PouchDB-Replication with CouchDB

I have an Angular6-App with a PouchDB 7 where I plan a replication to a CouchDB-Server. The current option is a CouchDB-Server in version 1.6 only.

So the question is, if a replication form PouchDB in version 7 to this CouchDB in version 1.6 can work (for a two-way-replication so that different Angular-Clients can exchange changes over this CouchDB-Server).

I can't find any compatibillity list in the net to this topic... Some hint's would be apprieciated.

CouchDB and PouchDB use the same replication protocol. There are some optimizations introduced in CouchDB 2.x, but PouchDB 7 will still be able to sync without a problem in CouchDB 1.6.

However, you absolutely should not use CouchDB 1.6!! 1.6 had some very serious security flaws, which can essentially allow anyone to execute arbitrary code on your server. These were fixed in 1.7 and later. So please upgrade to at least 1.7.1 immediately!
