Releases: mongodb/mongo-php-driver
1.8.0
The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.8.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL. This release adds support for new features in MongoDB 4.4.
Release Highlights
This release introduces support for OCSP and OCSP stapling, which is used to validate the revocation status of TLS certificates. OCSP is enabled by default, but can be controlled via two new URI options: tlsDisableOCSPEndpointCheck and tlsDisableCertificateRevocationCheck. The existing tlsAllowInvalidCertificates and tlsInsecure URI options may also be used to disable OCSP.
The driver now supports a directConnection URI option, which can be used to control replica set discovery behavior when only a single host is provided in the connection string. By default, providing a single member in the connection string will establish a direct connection or discover additional members depending on whether the replicaSet option is omitted or present, respectively. This default behavior remains unchanged, but applications can now specify directConnection=false to force discovery to occur (if replicaSet is omitted) or specify directConnection=true to force a direct connection (if replicaSet is present).
The driver now supports Zstandard compression if it is available during compilation. Applications can opt into using Zstandard by specifying zstd in the compressors URI option, which is used to negotiate supported compression formats when connecting to MongoDB.
The ReadPreference constructor now supports a hedge option, which can be passed ['enabled' => true] to enable Hedged Reads when connected to a MongoDB 4.4 sharded cluster.
This release adds several authentication improvements. The driver supports the new MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism, which can be used when connecting to a MongoDB Atlas cluster that has been configured to support authentication via AWS IAM credentials. Additionally, the driver now uses a shorter conversation with the server when authenticating with a SCRAM mechanism.
MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::update() now supports a hint option, which can be used with MongoDB 4.4 or later.
The Manager constructor now supports a driver option in its $driverOptions parameter, which can be used by wrapping drivers and libraries to append metadata (e.g. library name and version) to the server handshake.
This release upgrades our libbson and libmongoc dependencies to 1.17.0. Support for PHP 5.6 has been removed and the extension now requires PHP 7.0 or newer.

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.8.0beta2 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This beta release provides support for additional new features in MongoDB 4.4 following the previous 1.8.0beta1 release.
This release introduces support for OCSP and OCSP stapling, which is used to validate the revocation status of TLS certificates. OCSP is enabled by default, but can be controlled via two new URI options: tlsDisableOCSPEndpointCheck and tlsDisableCertificateRevocationCheck.
The driver now supports Zstandard compression if it is available during compilation. Applications can opt into using Zstandard by specifying zstd in the compressors URI option, which is used to negotiate supported compression formats when connecting to MongoDB.

The ReadPreference constructor now supports a hedge option, which can be passed ['enabled' => true] to enable Hedged Reads when connected to a MongoDB 4.4 sharded cluster.
This release also fixes a long-standing bug where the driver might segfault during shutdown while garbage-collecting a ReadConcern, ReadPreference, or WriteConcern object.
As previously announced, this version drops compatibility with PHP 5.6 and requires PHP 7.0 or newer.

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.8.0beta1 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This beta release provides support for new features in MongoDB 4.4.
For authentication, this release adds support for the new MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism. The SCRAM mechanism now supports shorter conversation when authenticating with the server.
The delete command (and its helpers), delete operations in bulk writes, as well as findAndDelete operations now support specifying a hint option.
For drivers built on top of the extension, there is a new driver key in the driverOptions when creating a manager. This can be used to pass custom metadata for use during the server handshake.
As previously announced, this version drops compatibility with PHP 5.6, limiting support to PHP 7.0 and newer.

Thanks
Thanks for our community contributors for 1.7.1:
1.7.0
The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.7.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This release introduces classes and options to enable Client-Side Field Level Encryption. With this feature, sensitive data can be automatically encrypted (MongoDB Enterprise Edition only) or explicitly encrypted using the MongoDB\Driver\ClientEncryption API. If the extension is compiled against system libraries, libmongocrypt must be installed for this feature to be enabled. The --with-mongodb-client-side-encryption configure switch can be used to control compilation of encryption features.
MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::update now supports a hint option, which can be used with MongoDB 4.2 or later.
MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern, ReadPreference, and WriteConcern instances now support PHP serialization. All classes in the MongoDB\BSON namespace can now be cloned.
The MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference class now exposes the read preference mode as a string through the getModeString method. This is preferred over calling getMode, which will be deprecated in a future release.
MongoDB\Driver\Session now exposes more detailed transaction information. Instead of only exposing whether a transaction is running, the current state of the transaction can now be obtained using the getTransactionState method. The getTransactionOptions method returns an array of options that the current transaction is using, based on options passed when creating the session object and starting the transaction.
When forking a process that is using a MongoDB\Driver\Manager instance, the underlying libmongoc client is now reset on the first operation in the child process. This prevents an issue where exiting the child can destroy cursors that the parent process may still be using.
Specifying any SSL or TLS option via the driverOptions parameter for MongoDB\Driver\Manager::__construct will now implicitly enable TLS, as is done for the corresponding URI options.
The wTimeout parameter for MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::__construct now accepts 64-bit values. On 32-bit systems, MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::getWtimeout will return a MongoDB\BSON\Int64 instance if the WriteConcern object was created with a wTimeout that exceeds the 32-bit range. On 64-bit systems, this method will always return an integer value.
The --with-libbson and --with-libmongoc configure switches have been deprecated. The new --with-mongodb-system-libs configure option should be used to enable compiling against system libraries instead of bundled versions of libbson, libmongoc, and libmongocrypt. The extension continues to use bundled libraries by default.
This release updates the bundled libbson and libmongoc libraries to 1.16.0. The bundled libmongocrypt library is version 1.0.1.
Please note that this is the last minor release series that is compatible with PHP 5. Support for PHP 5 will be dropped in the upcoming 1.8.0 release.
