2.15.0 (2021-08-26)

• [NEW] Override dict.get method for CouchDatabase to add remote parameter allowing it to retrieve a remote document if specified.
• [FIXED] Fixed the documentation for bookmarks.
• [FIXED] Also exit follow_replication for failed state.
• [FIXED] Fixed result paging for grouped view queries.
• [FIXED] Incorrect use of username as account name in Cloudant.bluemix().
• [FIXED] Use custom encoder (if provided) for all view key params not just keys.

• [IMPROVED] Documented use of None account name and url override for Cloudant.iam().
• [IMPROVED] - Document IDs and attachment names are now rejected if they could cause an unexpected Cloudant request. We have seen that some applications pass unsantized document IDs to SDK functions (e.g. direct from user requests). In response to this we have updated many functions to reject obviously invalid paths. However, for complete safety applications must still validate that document IDs and attachment names match expected patterns.
