Release Notes 8.3 by rasika-chivate · Pull Request #1149 · percona/psmdb-docs

rasika-chivate · 2026-07-22T09:04:26Z

Create release notes for version 8.3.
Update configuration files.
Include a version selector for 8.3.

alina-derkach-oaza · 2026-07-22T14:47:27Z

You need to update the config files in _resourcepdf/overrides instead of _resource/overrides
You need to update mkdocs-base.yml with the new version
To add a new version to the version switcher, you need to update .github/workflows/main.yml file in 8.3 branch. And then update the same file in 8.0 version to make it look the same as in 7.0 version. So 8.3 is the (Latest) version, and 8.0 is a standard version like 7.0.

docs/release_notes/8.3.4-1.md:83

This sentence has two issues: (1) missing space after "and" (renders as "andCompatibility"), and (2) the "Release Notes for MongoDB 8.3" link text points to the 8.3 compatibility URL, which is inconsistent with the label and duplicates the second link.

For the complete list of upstream changes, see [Release Notes for MongoDB 8.3 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/8.3-compatibility/){:target="_blank"} and[ Compatibility Changes in MongoDB 8.3 :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/8.3-compatibility/){:target="_blank"}.

docs/install/upgrade-from-80.md:3

The upgrade guide title now says 8.0 → 8.3, but the body still contains multiple 8.0-specific references (e.g., MongoDB 8.0 compatibility link, enabling the psmdb-80 repository, and instructions that appear to install 8.0 packages). This makes the page misleading for 8.3 upgrades; please update the remaining content to consistently target 8.3 (including repo/channel names and external links).
.github/workflows/main.yml:47
The steps list indentation is inconsistent here (the - name: Deploy docs item is indented one space deeper than other step items). This can make the workflow YAML invalid or change the structure unexpectedly.

      - name: Deploy docs
        run: |
          mike deploy 8.3 -b publish -p

docs/release_notes/8.3.4-1.md:6

This --- line will render as a horizontal rule at the top of the page. Since the repo uses the Markdown meta extension (mkdocs-base.yml), you can terminate the metadata block with a blank line instead, avoiding the extra rendered HR.

+!!! warning "Technical Preview"
+    Percona Server for MongoDB 8.3.4-1 is available as a technical preview.
+
+    We recommend that early adopters use this feature for testing purposes only and not in production environments.


Agree with copilot here.

+`SCRAM-SHA-1` authentication can no longer be enabled when FIPS mode is active. MongoDB 8.3.4 also includes a fix for CVE-2026-11933.

+## Upgrade considerations
+
+To upgrade to MongoDB 8.3 from an 8.0 deployment, the deployment must have `featureCompatibilityVersion` set to 8.0.


Maybe add the link to the upgrade guide?

nastena1606 · 2026-07-23T13:38:48Z

+To check the version:
+
+```javascript
+db.adminCommand( { getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 } )


Output will be welcome here, so that users see what to expect

main? Are they the same for every version? Main is not stable as I remember, why would I pull SBOMs for my 8.0 or 7.0 from main?

+- GitHub: The latest SBOM is placed in the root of the `percona/percona-server-mongodb` main branch.

And here they are release specific.

+#### Query planning and aggregation
+
+The `$scoreFusion` aggregation stage is now generally available, and new expressions support hashing, Extended JSON conversion, binary subtypes, and `ObjectId` generation.


Was it tech preview before? In what version? What's the value of it?

+* [PSMDB-2003](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PSMDB-2003): We have implemented caching of LDAP `userToDNMapping` to reduce the number of round-trips to the LDAP server during authentication and authorization. Caching is controlled by `security.ldap.userToDNMapping` (exposed as `--ldapUserToDNMapping` at startup and `ldapUserToDNMapping` at runtime). For detailed information, see our [documentation](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server-for-mongodb/8.3/ldap-parameters.html).


Not sure using "we" is appropriate. Rephrase to "Added caching of LDAP...."
