[ANN] mgo and gobson 2011-03-17

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Some quick news on both packages:

http://labix.org/mgo
http://labix.org/gobson

- The package name from gobson has changed to bson. You should
now import from "launchpad.net/gobson/bson".

- Run is now a method on a Database as well, in addition to the Session
(thanks to Gary Burd for the suggestion):

http://goneat.org/lp/mgo/#Database.Run

- Missing Remove and RemoveAll methods implemented (also
pointed out by Gary):

http://goneat.org/lp/mgo/#Collection.Remove
http://goneat.org/lp/mgo/#Collection.RemoveAll

In addition to these, convenient support for tailable cursors is in the works,
and will be available soon.

Hi Nicolas,

Right, it's done automatically for you.

You'll only have to use gobson directly if you want to use some of the
bson-specific types (e.g. bson.D, bson.ObjectId, etc), but even then
you don't have to serialize/deserialize those types by hand.. just use
them in your maps/structs/etc.
