What’s New in 2.3

Key features of the 2.3 driver include:

• Implements Decimal128, a decimal floating-point numbering format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits). See the CRUD tutorial for an example.

What’s New in 2.2

Key features of the 2.2 driver include:

• Redesigned Connection Pool.
• Connection close will drain any outstanding operations.
• replicaSet parameter MUST be specified if using MongoClient to connect to replicaset, due to SDAM specification implementation.
• Domain support disabled by default, enable with parameter domainsEnabled on MongoClient or on the Server/ReplSet/Mongos.

What’s New in 2.1

Key features of the 2.1 driver include:

• Implements the new GridFS specification
• Implements support for the new 3.2 wire protocol level find, getMore and killCursor commands
• A growing/shrinking connection pool
• A worker-based connection pool which minimizes the impact of slow operations on throughput and latency when the number of slow operations is less than the number of connections in the pool
• Topology monitoring specification implementation, allowing applications to monitor the view of the topology as it changes

What’s New in 2.0

Key features of the 2.0 driver include:

• Adherence to the SDAM (Server Discovery and Monitoring Specification)
• Implementation of the CRUD Specification
• Performance improvements
• New JS-BSON parser which replaces the C++ extension
• A new core driver on top of which you can build alternative or experimental driver APIs
• APM (Application Performance Monitoring) API
