on GitHub

It is my pleasure to announce to you the beta of MongoDB C driver 1.3.0.
This beta includes additive ABI changes and bugfixes, and support for
the upcoming MongoDB 3.2. It is compatible with MongoDB 2.4 and later.

New features and changes:

• 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
  • mongoc_bulk_operation_set_flags
• 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
• Configurable wait time on tailable cursors with MongoDB 3.2:
  • mongoc_cursor_get_max_await_time_ms
  • mongoc_cursor_set_max_await_time_ms
• 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.
• Use constant-time comparision when verifying credentials
• Combine environment's CFLAGS with configure options when building.
• Improved man page output and "whatis" entries

Extensive bugfixes and improvements in GridFS, including:

• Handle seeking, reading, and writing past the end of a GridFS file.
• Better error reporting if a GridFS file has missing chunks.
• Optimization for long seeks forward with mongoc_gridfs_file_seek.

Other fixes:

• 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.
• Include missing build script FindSASL2.cmake in distribution tarball
• Bugs and typos in tutorial examples
