MongoDB PHP Library 1.2.0-alpha1 released

[Jeremy Mikola]

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.2.0-alpha1 of our MongoDB PHP library is now available. This library is a high-level abstraction for the PHP 5, PHP 7, and HHVM drivers (i.e. mongodb extension).

Release Highlights

This release adds support for seeking and partial file retrieval of GridFS files (PHPLIB-213). This means that PHP's fseek() and ftell() functions can now be used on readable GridFS streams (e.g. resources returned by Bucket::openDownloadStream()). Seeking is not supported for writable streams, which are append-only and always positioned at the end of the stream.
