[ANNOUNCEMENT] mongo-1.3.0beta1 (alpha) Released.

The new PECL package mongo-1.3.0beta1 (alpha) has been released at http://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- This is a new major release, which has a rewritten connection handling backend. It has been rewritten to form a new improved framework for handling connections. On top of this new framework, new functionality is also implemented to provide read preference support that comes with MongoDB 2.2. The new framework no longer has the concept of a connection pool, but instead make sure there is only one connect per node/db/username. We also have introduced some deprecation notices for features and methods that are going to disappear in version 2 of the driver, which we plan to release before the end of the year. New major features in this release to support the MongoDB 2.2 release: - Support for the aggregation framework through the aggregate() helper. - Support for read preferences and read preference tags (See: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/applications/replication/#replica-set-read-preference) Known issues (to be addressed before 1.3.0): - Authentication has not been implemented it, so this release will only work for installations without authentication enabled. - Support for connections to multiple mongos nodes is not implemented yet. - It has not been tested on anything but Linux.
