The MongoDB Rust driver team is pleased to announce the v2.4.0 release of the mongodb crate, now available for download from crates.io.

Highlighted Changes

In-Use Encryption

This release brings support for Client-Side Field Level Encryption and Queryable Encryption. For detailed installation and usage instructions, please see the Encryption section of the driver manual. Please note that the API is currently unstable and may change in breaking ways in future releases.

GridFS

This release adds support for GridFS, allowing storage and retrieval of files that exceed the BSON document size limit. Please see the documentation of the new gridfs module for more information.

Streaming Monitoring Protocol

This release can now use the streaming monitoring protocol with MongoDB 4.4+ servers, reducing the time it takes for the client to discover server state changes compared to the old polling protocol.

Tracing Integration

The driver now emits tracing events at points of interest. To consume these events, you must enable the driver’s tracing-unstable feature flag and either:

  • register a tracing Subscriber in your application (see the tracing docs), OR
  • register a log-compatible logger in your application (see the log documentation for details), and enable a log compatibility feature flag for tracing, as detailed here.

This API is considered unstable as the tracing crate has not reached 1.0 yet; future minor versions of the driver may upgrade the tracing dependency to a new version which is not backwards-compatible with Subscribers that depend on older versions of tracing.

Events will be emitted under the following targets:

  • mongodb::command: Events related to command execution starting, succeeding, or failing.
  • mongodb::connection: Events related to the driver’s underlying connection pools and their connections.

Future work will introduce events under additional targets and may add driver-defined tracing spans for intervals of interest.

MSRV Increase

The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) for this crate is now Rust 1.57.
