This is the second alpha release of the next-generation MongoDB C++ Driver.
Please see our blog post for a full description of the new driver's design goals.
As specified in the Quickstart Guide, building the driver requires a C++11 conformant compiler and depends on the 1.2.0-dev branch of the MongoDB C Driver.
The driver cannot currently be built with MSVC - please use clang 3.4 or g++ 4.8 (or newer). We are planning to incorporate support for MSVC 2015 after it ships.
While we also plan to commit to a stable ABI in the future, the prerelease versions before 1.0.0 will not offer a stable ABI. The library currently has a soname ABI version of 0 which indicates no stability guarantee.
API documentation can be found here. Please file JIRA tickets if you encounter any problems using the driver.
Changes in 0.2.0 since 0.1.0:
- [CXX-587] - to_json() throws exception on empty array
- [CXX-588] - Cannot use kvp() with a std::string parameter
- [CXX-590] - unit test compile failure on clang 3.4
- [CXX-589] - Expose a view() method on pipeline
- [CXX-593] - missing bsoncxx::document::view::empty
- [CXX-595] - Add bsoncxx::from_json methods
- [CXX-591] - list_collections() and list_databases()
- [CXX-592] - database:command returns an empty response
