mongo-c-driver 1.8.0

on GitHub

• The zLib and Snappy compression libraries are bundled if not available.
  Wire protocol compression is enabled on Windows.
  • mongoc_collection_find_and_modify_with_opts now respects a "writeConcern"
    field in the "extra" BSON document in its mongoc_find_and_modify_opts_t.
  • The command functions mongoc_client_read_write_command_with_opts,
    mongoc_database_read_write_command_with_opts, and
    mongoc_collection_read_write_command_with_opts now ignore the "read_prefs"
    parameter.
  • mongoc_collection_create_index and mongoc_collection_create_index_with_opts
    are both now deprecated. Use mongoc_database_write_command_with_opts
    instead; a guide to creating an index using that function has been added.
  • Use select, not WSAPoll, on Windows.
  • Always mark a server "Unknown" after a network error (besides a timeout).
  • mongoc_client_pool_t sends platform metadata to the server; before, only a
    single mongoc_client_t did.
  • New stream method mongoc_stream_timed_out.
  • Wire version checks introduced in 1.8.0 will prevent the driver from
    connecting to a future MongoDB server version if its wire protocol is
    incompatible.
  • New CMake option ENABLE_MAINTAINER_FLAGS.

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