6.6.1 (2024-05-06)
The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 6.6.1 of the mongodb package!
Release Notes
ref()-ed timer keeps event loop running until client.connect() resolves
When the MongoClient is first starting up (client.connect()) monitoring connections begin the process of discovering servers to make them selectable. The ref()-ed serverSelectionTimeoutMS timer keeps Node.js' event loop running as the monitoring connections are created. In the last release we inadvertently unref()-ed this initial timer which would allow Node.js to close before the monitors could create connections.
