1.1.0-rc0

mongo-c-driver 1.1.0-rc0

It is my pleasure to announce to you the 1.1.0-rc0 release of the MongoDB C driver.

This release is a release candidate with additive ABI changes and bugfixes.

Changes include:

• ABI versioning for 1.1 versus 1.0 symbols
• additional geo index options
• authMechanismProperties in URI
• fixes for OS X Yosemite
• removal of replica set member limit
• SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism
• updated dependency on libbson 1.1 abi
• validation for bulk insert
• various memory leak fixes

Additions to the ABI include:

• support for extra option in count
  • mongoc_collection_count_with_opts
• extra index and collection info
  • mongoc_collection_get_index_info
  • mongoc_database_get_collection_info
• additional geo options
  • mongoc_index_opt_geo_get_default
  • mongoc_index_opt_geo_init
• rand interface to seed and verify the strong random number generation needed
  by some auth mechanisms
  • mongoc_rand_seed
  • mongoc_rand_add
  • mongoc_rand_status
• URI additions to support more complicated auth credentials
  • mongoc_uri_get_credentials
  • mongoc_uri_get_mechanism_properties

Additional Notes:
Existing complex index names may contain a zero instead of a type due to
a bug in mongoc_collection_keys_to_index_string. As a result those indexes may
be hard to drop from the driver as they have a name you would not expect.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this point release for
libmongoc.

mongo-c-driver 1.0.0

It is my very distinct pleasure to announce to you the 1.0 release of the MongoDB C driver!

This is the culmination of just over a year of work and could not have been done without the help of our wonderful community.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this driver!

mongo-c-driver 0.98.2

One final step before our journey to 1.0!

This is a relatively small release, adding some features needed for drivers
building on top of the C driver.

A new libmongoc-priv.so library is installed that does not have symbols
hidden. You can access private headers via the -private.h variants. This
means you will need to recompile your project every time the library is
changed (if you use those private headers, as they are subject to change).

A special thanks to Hannes Magnusson for patches in this release.

See git shortlog 0.98.0..0.98.2 for a list of all the changes.

mongo-c-driver 0.98.0

Another step in the rapidly approaching path to 1.0!

This release is primarily a bugfix release and stabilization effort as we
approach 1.0 of the MongoDB C driver.

This release requires 0.98.0 of Libbson for improvements to the memory
management system. You can now setup custom memory allocators at the
start of the process.

This is a RC release that with a few improvements will likely become 1.0.

A special thanks to the following for patches in this cycle:

• Kyle Suarez
• yuqing

See git shortlog 0.96.4..0.98.0 for a list of all the changes.

mongo-c-driver 0.96.4

Another incremental feature update and bugfix release!

In this release, you will find the following changes:

• build/mci.sh script for automatically building Debian packages, RPMs, and
  Solaris packaging based on the host operating system.
• Various libbson improvements, now depending on 0.8.4.
• Alignment fixes for Solaris Studio C compiler via libbson.
• Addition of mongoc_gridfs_remove_by_filename() for removing a file from
  gridfs by filename.
• client command functions can now take a fully qualified namespace.
• collections can now support names that indicate a command namespace.
• Commands will no longer fail if they do not contain an "ok" field.
• OP_QUERY will now set the slaveOk bit in the wire protocol if
• readPreferences are set to non-PRIMARY.
• Various documentation and build fixes.

Thanks again to all the contributors, and happy hacking!

You will find RPMs for RHEL 6.5 and 7.0 below. Debian packages have been provided for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Solaris SVR4 packages have been provided for Solaris 10 on SPARC.

Update

I've spun up a new version of the tarball to fix building on CentOS 5.

mongo-c-driver 0.96.2

Hot on the heels of 0.96.0 we would like to present mongo-c-driver 0.96.2!

This is primarily a bugfix release. Included in this release are:

• Ensure batchSize is used in cursor GETMORE operations with aggregate.
• Ensure enough buffer space is allocated for incoming RPC when buffering from a stream.
• Require libbson 0.8.2 for more robust bson_next_power_of_two() when using size_t and BCON compilation fix with C++.
• Handle cursor id's that are not 64-bit values in response from aggregate command.
• Handle upsert on MongoDB < 2.6 when _id does not contain an ObjectId.
• Use 100 for default batchSize in aggregate command.

Happy Hacking!

Solaris 10 on SPARC

For users of Solaris 10 on SPARC, you can find a SVR4 package below that can be installed with pkgadd.

gunzip -c MONGOmongo-c-driver.0.96.2.sparc.pkg.tar.gz | tar xf -
pkgadd -d . MONGOmongo-c-driver

mongo-c-driver 0.96.0

It's that time again, time for another mongo-c-driver release!

This release includes much new documentation, which can be found at http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/c/.

Additionally, this release improves support for various exotic systems. Solaris 10 is supported much better on SPARC and x86_64 based systems.

Some workarounds for mixed-mode sharded-clusters have been added to improve resiliency when rolling upgrades are performed.

Build improvements have been added to help us detect SASL and SSL implementations on platforms that do not support pkg-config. This should simplify building for some of you.

We've added some more logging to SASL authentication to help debug authentication failures.

A bug causing an abort() when SSL is used and a server is down has been fixed.

We've renamed various _delete() functions to _remove() to provide consistency with other MongoDB drivers.

You can now specify SSL options for client pools.

-D_REENTRANT is always defined now on Solaris to help with errno detection. This may not have been done before if using a non-GCC platform with pthreads.

A bug was fixed where timeouts could have been 1000x longer than expected due to failure to convert from microseconds to milliseconds.

A bug was fixed with authentication in sharded cluster and replica set scenarios.

Happy Hacking!

Solaris 10 on SPARC

For users of Solaris 10 on SPARC, you can find a SVR4 package below that can be installed with pkgadd.

gunzip -c MONGOmongo-c-driver.0.96.0.sparc.pkg.tar.gz | tar xf -
pkgadd -d . MONGOmongo-c-driver

mongo-c-driver 0.94.2

Hot on the heels of 0.94.0 is 0.94.2, a bugfix release.

A bug has been fixed when using TLS streams and large result sets.

In this release, we added support for Sun's C compiler (Sun Pro C) on Solaris. This allows for builds on Solaris 10 with SPARC using the native toolchain.

This release contains a couple of fixes in libbson as well.

Keep those bug reports coming, and as always, Happy Hacking!

mongo-c-driver 0.94.0

The mongo-c-driver team is proud to announce the release of 0.94.0. This release is a followup to the previous release adding more features to be found in MongoDB 2.6.

You will find some new API's, bug fixes, and more documentation.

Under the hood, 0.94.0 uses the new write-commands as part of MongoDB 2.6. This happens automatically when the driver discovers it is communicating with a MongoDB 2.6 capable server. Pre-2.6 servers are still supported and automatically use the legacy wire-protocol.

Additionally, there is now a bulk operation API (See mongoc-bulk-operation.h).

Helpers for common server commands have been added. You can find most of them in mongoc-collection.h.

We've provided pre-built binaries below for Win64 and Solaris 11 x86_64. If you would like binaries made for your platform, just ask!

Thanks to all our wonderful contributors!

Happy Hacking!
