The Server Team is excited to announce that MongoDB 3.7.3 is ready for testing. A large part of the team is heads down working towards transactions, but among the numerous bug fixes and improvements delivered in the past four weeks, we've also found time to complete:
Type Conversions
A $convert expression has been added to the aggregation framework. This will not only allow new ETL workloads and simplify app development, but also allow the MongoDB BI Connector to push down large amounts of work to MongoDB Server, unlocking significantly improved performance for users of that tool.
Thanks,
The MongoDB Server Team
