It is my pleasure to announce to you the release of the MongoDB C Driver 1.3.0.

Changes since the the release candidate 1.3.0-rc0:

  • Fix a cursor bug introduced on big-endian platforms in 1.3.0-beta0.
  • Improve documentation for mongoc_host_list_t.
  • Move private mongoc_host_list_t functions from public header.
  • Refactor the build system to declare library version in one place.

All new features and changes since the previous stable release, 1.2.1:

  • If the driver is compiled without SSL support but a URI with "ssl=true"
    is passed to mongoc_client_new, mongoc_client_new_from_uri, or
    mongoc_client_pool_new, the function logs an error and returns NULL. Before,
    the driver would attempt a non-SSL connection.
  • mongoc_collection_find_and_modify will now apply the mongoc_collection_t's
    write_concern_t when talking to MongoDB 3.2.
  • Support for MongoDB 3.2's "readConcern" feature for queries, counts, and
    aggregations. The option "readConcernLevel" is now accepted in the MongoDB
    URI. New struct mongoc_read_concern_t, and functions operating on it:
    • mongoc_client_get_read_concern
    • mongoc_client_set_read_concern
    • mongoc_database_get_read_concern
    • mongoc_database_set_read_concern
    • mongoc_collection_get_read_concern
    • mongoc_collection_set_read_concern
    • mongoc_read_concern_copy
    • mongoc_read_concern_destroy
    • mongoc_read_concern_get_level
    • mongoc_read_concern_new
    • mongoc_read_concern_set_level
    • mongoc_uri_get_read_concern
  • Support for MongoDB 3.2's "bypassDocumentValidation" option for writes.
  • New struct mongoc_bulk_write_flags_t and related functions:
    • mongoc_bulk_operation_set_bypass_document_validation
  • New struct mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t and related functions:
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_new
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_destroy
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_sort
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_update
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_fields
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_flags
    • mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_set_bypass_document_validation
    • mongoc_collection_find_and_modify_with_opts
  • New functions to copy database and collection handles:
    • mongoc_collection_copy
    • mongoc_database_copy
  • Support for MongoDB 3.2 wire protocol: use commands in place of OP_QUERY,
    OP_GETMORE, and OP_KILLCURSORS messages.
  • To explain a query plan with MongoDB 3.2, you must now call the "explain"
    command, instead of including the "$explain" key in a mongoc_collection_find
    query. See the mongoc_collection_find documentation page for details.
  • Configurable wait time on tailable cursors with MongoDB 3.2:
    • mongoc_cursor_get_max_await_time_ms
    • mongoc_cursor_set_max_await_time_ms
  • Use electionId to detect a stale replica set primary during a network split.
  • Disconnect from replica set members whose "me" field does not match the
    connection address.
  • The client side matching feature, mongoc_matcher_t and related functions,
    are deprecated and scheduled for removal in version 2.0.
  • New CMake options ENABLE_SSL, ENABLE_SASL, ENABLE_TESTS, and ENABLE_EXAMPLES.
  • Use constant-time comparison when verifying credentials.
  • Combine environment's CFLAGS with configure options when building.
  • Improved man page output and "whatis" entries.

There are extensive bugfixes and improvements in GridFS since 1.2.1, including:

  • Handle seeking, reading, and writing past the end of a GridFS file.
  • If a GridFS chunk is missing, mongoc_gridfs_file_readv sets file->error to
    domain MONGOC_ERROR_GRIDFS and a new code MONGOC_ERROR_GRIDFS_CHUNK_MISSING.
  • Optimization for long seeks forward with mongoc_gridfs_file_seek.

Other fixes since 1.2.1:

  • Memory leaks in mongoc_database_has_collection and mongoc_cursor_next.
  • Report writeConcern failures from findAndModify and from legacy writes.
  • Memory leak in mongoc_database_find_collections.
  • Set OP_QUERY's nToReturn from the provided limit.
  • Fix compiler warnings and errors, especially with Visual Studio 2015,
    GCC 4.8, and IBM XL C.
  • Bugs and typos in tutorial examples.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release candidate.
