The following changes have been made to classes/functions/methods of this extension.
It supports all new features for MongoDB 2.6, including:
With this release, some driver functionality which was previously documented as deprecated will now formally raise deprecation notices. This includes:
Note:
No previously deprecated features have been removed.
Changes in behaviour:
The 1.4 series introduced fundemental changes in how connections are created to the MongoDB servers. The driver now utilizes PHP native streams, so all normal PHP stream options apply. Furthermore, an experimental Stream Context Support was added.
The 1.4.x series also added support for MongoDB 2.4.x.
The most important improvements however deal with the handling of replica sets, especially nodes that timeout and nodes that are unreachable for various reasons. Besides the improvements to replica set handling, this release addresses issues with read preferences through mongos nodes. It also adds support for SSL enabled connections as well as journal and fsync connection string options.
The 1.3 series introduced several major changes to the extension such as completely rewritten connection handling (and removal of the pooling mechanism), support for ReadPreferences and change the default WriteConcerns to be acknowledged by introducing a new class MongoClient which serves as a replacement class for the now deprecated Mongo class.
The driver now also supports connecting to multiple mongos instances (the Mongo Shard router) for loadbalancing.
Other enhancements include improved logging for easier connection handling debugging with MongoLog and support for the » Aggregation Framework via the MongoCollection::aggregate() method.
Following is a list of all improvements to existing methods since their inception.

| PECL mongo 1.2.0 | MongoClient::close | Before version 1.2.0 the driver would not use persistent connections by default, and all connections would be closed as soon as a MongoDB connection went out if scope. Since version 1.2.0 this is no longer the case and it is a bad idea to call close as you might end up overloading the server with connections under high load. |
| MongoClient::__construct | Added "username" and "password" options. Removed "persist" option, as all connections are now persistent. It can still be used, but it doesn't affect anything. "persist" If the connection should be persistent. If set, the connection will be persistent. The string representation of the value is used as an ID for the connection, so two instances of MongoClient that are initialized with array("persist" => "foobar") will share the same database connection, whereas an instance initialized with array("persist" => "barbaz") will use a different database connection.

| PECL mongo 1.0.11 | MongoCollection::ensureIndex | The "safe" option will trigger a primary failover, if necessary. MongoException will be thrown if the index name (either generated or set) is longer than 128 bytes. |
| MongoCollection::insert | Disconnects on "not master" errors if "safe" is set. | |
| MongoCollection::remove | Disconnects on "not master" errors if "safe" is set. | |
| MongoCollection::save | Disconnects on "not master" errors if "safe" is set. | |

| MongoCollection::insert | Added ability to pass integers to the "safe" option, which previously only accepted booleans. Added "fsync" option. The return type was changed to be an array containing error information if the "safe" option is used. Otherwise, a boolean is returned as before. | |
| MongoCollection::remove | Added ability to pass integers to the "safe" option, which previously only accepted booleans. Added "fsync" option. The return type was changed to be an array containing error information if the "safe" option is used. Otherwise, a boolean is returned as before. | |

| MongoCollection::save | Added options parameter. | |
| MongoCollection::update | Added "safe" option. | |
| PECL mongo 1.0.2 | MongoClient::__construct | Changed constructor to take an array of options. Pre-1.0.2, the constructor took the following parameters: server The server name. connect Optional boolean parameter specifying if the constructor should connect to the database before returning. Defaults to true. persistent If the connection should be persistent. paired If the connection should be paired. |
| MongoCollection::ensureIndex | Changed options parameter from boolean to array. Pre-1.0.2, the second parameter was an optional boolean value specifying a unique index. | |

| PECL mongo 1.0.1 | MongoCollection::insert | Throw a MongoCursorException if the "safe" option is set and the insert fails. |
| MongoCollection::update | Changed options parameter from boolean to array. Pre-1.0.1, the second parameter was an optional boolean value specifying an upsert. |
