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.
