mongo-c-driver 1.7.0

It is my please to announce mongo-c-driver 1.7.0.

New features and bug fixes:

• CMake build now installs .pc files for programs that link to libmongoc using
  pkg-config. Both the CMake and Autotools build systems now install .cmake
  files for programs that link to libmongoc using CMake. Linking to libmongoc
  statically or dynamically is now much more convenient. See the new tutorial
  section "Include and link libmongoc in your C program".
• New CMake option ENABLE_STATIC can be ON, OFF, or AUTO (the default)
• Minimum required CMake version has been increased to 3.1.
• CMake remains experimental on non-Windows platforms and issues a warning now
• Support for wire compression.
  • Support for snappy and zlib. MongoDB 3.4 only supports snappy, while zlib
    support is expected in MongoDB 3.6.
    The enable, configure mongoc like so:
    ./configure --with-snappy --with-zlib
  • New functions: mongoc_uri_get_compressors & mongoc_uri_set_compressors, to
    get and set compressor configuration on mongoc_uri_t
  • Added support for comma seperated "compressors" connection string option (e.g.
    mongodb://localhost/?compressors=snappy,zlib)
  • Added support for configuring zlib compression level in the connection string
    (e.g. mongodb://localhost/?compressors=zlib&zlibcompressionlevel=8)
• Now requires the use of CMake config files for libbson to build libmongoc
  with CMake
• Added pkg-config support for libressl.
• New function mongoc_uri_set_auth_mechanism to update the authentication
  mechanism of a mongoc_uri_t after it is created from a string.
• New function mongoc_bulk_operation_insert_with_opts provides immediate
  error checking.
• New function mongoc_uri_new_with_error provides a way to parse a connection
  string, and retrieve the failure reason, if any.
• Support for MongoDB Connection String specification
  • All connection string options are now represented by MONGOC_URI_xxx macros
  • Paths to Unix Domain Sockets must be url encoded
  • Repeated options now issue warnings
  • Special characters in username, password and other values must be url encoded
  • Unsupported connection string options now issue warnings
  • Boolean values can now be represented as true/yes/y/t/1 and false/no/n/f/0.
  • Case is now preserved in Unix domain paths.
• New function mongoc_cursor_error_document provides access to server's error
  reply if a query or command fails.
• New function mongoc_write_concern_is_default determines whether any write
  concern options have been set, and mongoc_read_concern_is_default checks if
  read concern options are set.
• mongoc_gridfs_find_one_with_opts optimized to use limit 1.

mongo-c-driver 1.6.3

It is my pleasure to announce mongo-c-driver 1.6.3. This release fixes two bugs

• mongoc_client_pool_t did not apply all TLS options to pooled connections
• SNI wasn't provided when allow_invalid_hostname is set

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this release.

mongo-c-driver 1.6.2

It is my pleasure to announce mongo-c-driver 1.6.2. This release further

Windows SSPI files to the distribution tarball, and fixes distribution issues
we introduced when porting the documentation from Mallard to Sphinx.

mongo-c-driver 1.5.4

It is my pleasure to announce mongo-c-driver 1.5.4. This release fixes an error
in cursor iteration when a readConcern is set. Thanks to Jeremy Mikola and
Hannes Magnusson.

Peace,

mongo-c-driver 1.5.3

This release fixes a bug that prevented connecting to IPv4-only MongoDB servers
by hostname.

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CDRIVER-1988

The driver has reverted to its 1.5.1 behavior: it connects to MongoDB over IPv6
if given an IPv6 connection string like "mongodb://[::1]", and requires an IPv4
connection when given a hostname like "mongodb://localhost".

Peace,

A. Jesse Jiryu Davis
