MongoDB PHP Driver 1.4.0

[Derick Rethans]

Hello,

We are glad to announce the release of version 1.4.0 of the MongoDB PHP
Driver. The 1.4 series addresses multiple improvements and fixes. The
most important improvements deal with the handling of replica sets,
especially nodes that timeout and nodes that are unreachable for various
reasons. Besides the improvements to replica set handling, this release
addresses issues with read preferences through mongos nodes. It also
adds support for SSL enabled connections as well as journal and fsync
connection string options.

You can find a list of all the resolved issues at:
https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10007&version=12083

If you find any issues, please report them through JIRA at
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PHP. We would be more than happy to have
a look at them, but please provide as much information as possible in
order for us to more easily identify and fix the problem.

The source for the extension can be found at
http://pecl.php.net/mongo

You can either download and install the source manually, or you can
install the extension with:

pecl install mongo

or update with:

pecl upgrade mongo

Windows binaries are available through:

cheers,
Derick, Hannes and Jeremy
