1.10.0

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.10.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL. This release adds support for new features in MongoDB 5.0.

Release Highlights

The Manager constructor now supports a serverApi option in its $driverOptions parameter. A ServerApi instance can be provided to this option to utilize the new Stable API feature in MongoDB 5.0 and later.

Azure Key Vault and Google Cloud Platform KMS are now supported as keystores for client-side field-level encryption. They may be configured via kmsProviders field of the autoEncryption driver option when constructing a Manager.

The driver no longer prohibits the use of dots and dollars in document fields names. Restrictions are now entirely enforced by the server. Although MongoDB 5.0 has relaxed several restrictions, features such as escaping syntax for queries have yet to be implemented. As such, users are still not encouraged to use dots and dollars in field names.

Subscribers can now be registered directly on Manager objects via Manager::addSubscriber() and removeSubscriber() methods. Subscribers registered in this manner will only receive events associated with the Manager(s) with which they are registered. The global functions can still be used to register Subscribers that will receive events for all Managers.

The Manager constructor now supports a disableClientPersistence option in its $driverOptions parameter. Specifying true for this option will prevent the PHP driver from re-using a previously persisted libmongoc client for the Manager. A new client will be created internally and will also be destroyed along with the Manager object instead of being persisted for future use within the same PHP/worker process. Disabling client persistence is not generally recommended.

The Session class now reports information about a running transaction in its debug output (e.g. var_dump()). The CursorId class now supports var_export() and __set_state().

This release upgrades our libbson and libmongoc dependencies to 1.18.0. The libmongocrypt dependency has been upgraded to 1.2.1. Support for PHP 7.0 has been removed and the extension now requires PHP 7.1 or newer.

1.9.0

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.9.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.

Release Highlights

This release makes the extension compatible with PHP 8.

This release ensures that all functions in the extension throw MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException instead of emitting a PHP error or warning during argument parsing (e.g. E_WARNING). Previous versions of the driver generally only did this for constructors, which was inconsistent. Note that this behavior does not apply to cases where PHP throws an Error (e.g. TypeError), which is done more consistently in PHP 8 (see: Consistent Type Errors).

The MongoDB\Driver\Cursor class now implements the Iterator interface directly. This change was necessary to ensure consistent behavior across all supported PHP versions.

1.9.0-RC1

The PHP team is happy to announce that the first release candidate for version 1.9.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.

Release Highlights

This release makes the extension compatible with PHP 8.

This release also ensures that all argument errors are correctly exposed as MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on PHP 7. PHP 8 handles argument checks differently, so extra arguments or wrong types will trigger built-in errors.

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.

This release updates the bundled libbson and libmongoc libraries to 1.17.0-rc0.

As previously announced, this version drops compatibility with PHP 5.6 and requires PHP 7.0 or newer.
