1.8.0beta1

Andreas Braun
The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.8.0beta1 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This beta release provides support for new features in MongoDB 4.4.
For authentication, this release adds support for the new MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism. The SCRAM mechanism now supports shorter conversation when authenticating with the server.
The delete command (and its helpers), delete operations in bulk writes, as well as findAndDelete operations now support specifying a hint option.
For drivers built on top of the extension, there is a new driver key in the driverOptions when creating a manager. This can be used to pass custom metadata for use during the server handshake.
As previously announced, this version drops compatibility with PHP 5.6, limiting support to PHP 7.0 and newer.

Thanks for our community contributors for 1.7.1:
1.7.0
The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.7.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This release introduces classes and options to enable Client-Side Field Level Encryption. With this feature, sensitive data can be automatically encrypted (MongoDB Enterprise Edition only) or explicitly encrypted using the MongoDB\Driver\ClientEncryption API. If the extension is compiled against system libraries, libmongocrypt must be installed for this feature to be enabled. The --with-mongodb-client-side-encryption configure switch can be used to control compilation of encryption features.
MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite::update now supports a hint option, which can be used with MongoDB 4.2 or later.
MongoDB\Driver\ReadConcern, ReadPreference, and WriteConcern instances now support PHP serialization. All classes in the MongoDB\BSON namespace can now be cloned.
The MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference class now exposes the read preference mode as a string through the getModeString method. This is preferred over calling getMode, which will be deprecated in a future release.
MongoDB\Driver\Session now exposes more detailed transaction information. Instead of only exposing whether a transaction is running, the current state of the transaction can now be obtained using the getTransactionState method. The getTransactionOptions method returns an array of options that the current transaction is using, based on options passed when creating the session object and starting the transaction.
When forking a process that is using a MongoDB\Driver\Manager instance, the underlying libmongoc client is now reset on the first operation in the child process. This prevents an issue where exiting the child can destroy cursors that the parent process may still be using.
Specifying any SSL or TLS option via the driverOptions parameter for MongoDB\Driver\Manager::__construct will now implicitly enable TLS, as is done for the corresponding URI options.
The wTimeout parameter for MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::__construct now accepts 64-bit values. On 32-bit systems, MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::getWtimeout will return a MongoDB\BSON\Int64 instance if the WriteConcern object was created with a wTimeout that exceeds the 32-bit range. On 64-bit systems, this method will always return an integer value.
The --with-libbson and --with-libmongoc configure switches have been deprecated. The new --with-mongodb-system-libs configure option should be used to enable compiling against system libraries instead of bundled versions of libbson, libmongoc, and libmongocrypt. The extension continues to use bundled libraries by default.
This release updates the bundled libbson and libmongoc libraries to 1.16.0. The bundled libmongocrypt library is version 1.0.1.
Please note that this is the last minor release series that is compatible with PHP 5. Support for PHP 5 will be dropped in the upcoming 1.8.0 release.

Thanks for our community contributors for 1.6.1:
1.6.0
The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.6.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL. This release adds support for new features in MongoDB 4.2.
Release Highlights
This release adds support for multi-document transactions on sharded clusters. When starting a transaction on a sharded cluster, the first operation executed within the transaction will pin the session to a specific mongos server, ensuring that all subsequent operations in the transaction will be sent to the same server. This server is exposed via the new MongoDB\Driver\Session::getServer() method. The MongoDB\Driver\Session::isInTransaction() method exposes whether a transaction is currently in progress (i.e. started but not yet committed or aborted).
The MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException class now exposes error labels via the hasErrorLabel() method. This can be used to infer certain error categories, such as transient failures in transactions, which indicate that the transaction can be retried and may succeed on a subsequent attempt.
When connected to MongoDB 3.6 or later, the driver can now automatically retry queries and read commands executed with executeQuery() and executeReadCommand(), respectively, that fail due to a network error or replica set failover. Note that only initial queries and commands can be retried; getMore commands issued during cursor iteration are not retryable. This feature is controlled by a new retryReads URI option, which defaults to true.
As of this release, retryable writes are now enabled by default. Note that retryable writes are fundamentally incompatible with the MMAPv1 storage engine. Applications still relying on MMAPv1 should consider upgrading to WiredTiger or otherwise disable retryable writes explicitly by setting the retryWrites URI option to false.
MongoDB 4.2 introduced aggregation pipelines for updates, which allows for more expressive update statements (e.g. conditional updates based on current field values). To support this feature, BulkWrite::update() now accepts a pipeline array as its second argument.
Starting with this release, TLS options may be passed using the tls* URI options in either the connection string or array options to MongoDB\Driver\Manager::construct(). The use of driver options (i.e. third constructor argument) is still supported. The ca_dir option, its deprecated alias capath, and the crl_file option are not supported as URI options and still need to be passed as driver options.
This release upgrades our libbson and libmongoc dependencies to 1.15.1. Support for PHP 5.5 has been removed. The extension now supports all PHP versions from 5.6 through 7.4.

1.6.0RC1
The PHP team is happy to announce that the first 1.6 release candidate of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This release completes support for all features introduced in MongoDB 4.2.
This release adds support for multi-document transactions on sharded clusters. Server selection logic in consuming libraries must be adapted to check for a pinned session and direct operations to that server.
Starting with this release, TLS options may be passed using the tls* URI options in either the connection string or array options to \MongoDB\Driver\Manager::construct(). The use of driver options (i.e. third constructor argument) is still supported. The ca_dir option, its deprecated alias capath, and the crl_file option are not supported as URI options and still need to be passed as driver options.
This release also upgrades our bundled libbson and libmongoc libraries to 1.15.1.
