mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver r3.1.0 on GitHub

This is the first stable release in the mongocxx 3.1.x series.

This release provides support for new features in MongoDB 3.4.

Please note that this version of mongocxx requires the MongoDB C Driver 1.5.0.

See the MongoDB C++ Driver Manual and the Driver Installation Instructions for more details on downloading, installing, and using this driver.

NOTE: The mongocxx 3.1.x series does not promise API or ABI stability across patch releases.

Note that there are no changes since the prior 3.1.0-rc0 release, with the exception of two documentation fixes (CXX-1149 and CXX-1155).

The full list of user-visible issues that have been resolved in 3.1.0 since the prior 3.0.x series are as follows:
