The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 3.6.1 of the driver
Release Highlights
Kerberos
A bug in introducing the new CMAP Connection prevented some users from properly authenticating with the kerberos module.
Index options are not respected with createIndex
The logic for building the createIndex command was changed in v3.6.0 to use an allowlist rather than a blocklist, but omitted a number of index types in that list. This release reintroduces all supported index types to the allowlist.
Remove strict mode for createCollection
Since v3.6.0 createCollection will no longer returned a cached Collection instance if a collection already exists in the database, rather it will return a server error stating that the collection already exists. This is the same behavior provided by the strict option for createCollection, so that option has been removed from documentation.
