1.1.5

The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.1.5 of our new mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.

Release Highlights

This release fixes a segfault that several users had experienced running the driver and its bundled libmongoc library with FPM on Linux and OS X systems. The issue stemmed from libmongoc's shutdown function being invoked before the driver could unregister its memory allocation functions (typically those for Zend's memory manager). As a result, libmongoc might free certain resources with the wrong function and trigger a segfault.

Those running the driver without libmongoc bundled in (i.e. dynamically loading a system library) will need to wait for CDRIVER-1165 to be implemented and released upstream. For the time being, they may consider switching to a bundled build of the driver.
