mongo-java-driver 2.10.0 released

[Jeff Yemin]

Version 2.10.0 of the MongoDB Java driver has been released. The main new feature in this release is the introduction of a new top-level class: MongoClient. This class extends the existing Mongo class, but changes the default write concern to be WriteConcern.ACKNOWLEDGED (an alias of WriteConcern.SAFE). For the curious, please read the blog post on http://blog.mongodb.org/post/36666163412/introducing-mongoclient for the reasoning behind this change. Also, check out the updated Java driver tutorial for usage examples: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Java+Tutorial.

Highlights:

* https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/JAVA-682 - Add MongoClient class, to supersede existing Mongo class, with a default WriteConcern.ACKNOWLEDGED. See http://api.mongodb.org/java/2.10.0/com/mongodb/MongoClient.html
