Django MongoDB Backend 5.2.1 has been released!

[Alex_Clark (Jeffrey A. Clark)]

We are pleased to announce that Django MongoDB Backend 5.2.1 is now available!

New features

• Allowed specifying the MongoDB connection string in DATABASES["HOST"], eliminating the need to use parse_uri() to configure the DATABASES setting.

Bug fixes

• Migrations operations that add or delete search indexes now wait until the operation is completed on the server to prevent conflicts when running multiple operations sequentially.

Performance improvements

• Made simple queries that use $eq, $in, $and, $or, $gt, $gte, $lt, and/or $lte use $match instead of $expr so that they can use indexes.

Enjoy the release and if you experience any issues please report them!
