Next-generation MongoDB PHP Driver 1.0.0-beta2 released

[Jeremy Mikola]

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.0.0-beta2 of our new "mongodb" PHP extension is now available on PECL.

Release Highlights

As of this release, protected and private properties of objects are ignored when serializing the object to a BSON document. If non-public properties of a class must be serialized, users should consider implementing the MongoDB\BSON\Serializable or MongoDB\BSON\Persistable interface.

The Manager::getWriteConcern() and Manager::getReadPreference() methods now return WriteConcern and ReadPreference value objects instead of arrays describing the write concern or read preference, respectively. Additionally, getter methods (e.g. getTagSets()) have been added to both classes. The deprecated fsync option has been removed from WriteConcern.

This release bumps our libmongoc dependency to 1.2.0-rc0. Our libbson dependency has also been bumped to 1.2.0-rc0.
