Java Driver 2.5 Released

[Eliot Horowitz]

Version 2.5 of the MongoDB Java driver is now available for download
and will be in maven shortly.

This version fixes a number of issues, especially when connecting to
replica sets.
It also has some API enhancements for features coming out in 1.8.

Downloads: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/downloads
Change Log: http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/JAVA/fixforversion/10215

Please let us know of any issues,
-Eliot

Eliot,

http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/JAVA-276 seems to break backward compatibility. The driver throws an exception when findAndRemove called and there is no record to modify (basically means findAndModify with returnNew=false), while the previous 2.4 version returned "null" in this case.

Test case: https://github.com/alaz/mongo-java-driver/commit/56478bbefdd99fb97a564a449e99772efc08e7b8

Regards,
Alexander

Is this recommended to use against older versions like 1.6.5 or
1.7.x ? Or safer to wait for 1.8 ?

[Brendan W. McAdams]

It should be fully backward compatible with previous releases of the server, barring the MapReduce functionality.

The Java Driver 2.5 interface no longer supports mapReduce to temporary collections and requires that the output collection be named.
