   * mongoc_collection_create_index and mongoc_collection_create_index_with_opts
     are both now deprecated. Use mongoc_database_write_command_with_opts
     instead; a guide to creating an index using that function has been added.
+  * Use select, not WSAPoll, on Windows.
+  * Always mark a server "Unknown" after a network error (besides a timeout).
+  * mongoc_client_pool_t sends platform metadata to the server; before, only a

   * New stream method mongoc_stream_timed_out.
+  * Wire version checks introduced in 1.8.0 will prevent the driver from
+    connecting to a future MongoDB server version if its wire protocol is
+    incompatible.
