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.
