1.1.0-rc0

mongo-c-driver 1.1.0-rc0

It is my pleasure to announce to you the 1.1.0-rc0 release of the MongoDB C driver.

This release is a release candidate with additive ABI changes and bugfixes.

Changes include:

• ABI versioning for 1.1 versus 1.0 symbols
• additional geo index options
• authMechanismProperties in URI
• fixes for OS X Yosemite
• removal of replica set member limit
• SCRAM-SHA-1 SASL mechanism
• updated dependency on libbson 1.1 abi
• validation for bulk insert
• various memory leak fixes

Additions to the ABI include:

• support for extra option in count
  • mongoc_collection_count_with_opts
• extra index and collection info
  • mongoc_collection_get_index_info
  • mongoc_database_get_collection_info
• additional geo options
  • mongoc_index_opt_geo_get_default
  • mongoc_index_opt_geo_init
• rand interface to seed and verify the strong random number generation needed
  by some auth mechanisms
  • mongoc_rand_seed
  • mongoc_rand_add
  • mongoc_rand_status
• URI additions to support more complicated auth credentials
  • mongoc_uri_get_credentials
  • mongoc_uri_get_mechanism_properties

Additional Notes:
Existing complex index names may contain a zero instead of a type due to
a bug in mongoc_collection_keys_to_index_string. As a result those indexes may
be hard to drop from the driver as they have a name you would not expect.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this point release for
libmongoc.
