MongoDB Perl driver v1.0.0.0-alpha 2 (v0.999.998.2-TRIAL) released

[David Golden]

The MongoDB Perl Driver v0.999.998.2-TRIAL has been released to CPAN: https://metacpan.org/release/MONGODB/MongoDB-v0.999.998.2-TRIAL

  

This is the second alpha release in the development series that will culminate in a v1.0.0.0 release in 2015.  Subsequent alphas will be released periodically.

While the v0.999.998.x-TRIAL series is believed be as reliable as the stable release series, the implementation and API are still subject to change. While preserving back-compatibility is important and will be delivered to a great extent, it will not be guaranteed.

Using the v0.999.998.x-TRIAL series means that you understand that your code may break due to changes in the driver between now and the v1.0.0.0 stable release.

This alpha 2 release includes these major changes:

• The internal architecture for database write operations has been completely re-written. For MongoDB 2.6 or later, writes are implemented using database write commands. For earlier versions of MongoDB, writes continue to use legacy wire-protocol operations.
• Compatibility with MongoDB 3.0.

More details on changes and how to prepare applications for use with the alpha series may be found in MongoDB::Upgrading.
