We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for our 1.0.0 release.

Please note that this release drops support for Swift 5.0. The driver officially supports Swift 5.1 and 5.2 on macOS, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 18.04.

A full list of included tickets is available below, but here are some highlights:

New Feature: Transactions Support

The driver now provides an API for transactions! Note that MongoDB supports transactions in replica sets as of v4.0, and in sharded clusters as of v4.2.

Please see the Transactions Guide in our documentation for details and examples.

Work on the convenient API for transactions (i.e. a withTransaction helper that includes helpful logic to automatically retry transactions on certain errors) is currently in progress.

Notable API Changes

  • MongoClient.shutdown() and MongoClient.syncShutdown() have been renamed MongoClient.close() and MongoClient.syncClose(), respectively, for consistency with other MongoDB drivers. (SWIFT-749)
  • ReadPreference is now a struct rather than a class. It no longer has any public initializers, but is instead initializable via static properties and methods available on the type. This makes usages more succinct, particularly in the context of e.g. an options struct where the compiler can infer the type. (SWIFT-738)
    Example:
    let rp = ReadPreference(.primary) // old
let rp = ReadPreference.primary // new

let rp = try ReadPreference(.secondary, maxStalenessSeconds: 100) // old
let rp = try ReadPreference.secondary(maxStalenessSeconds: 100) // new

let options = FindOptions(readPreference: ReadPreference(.primary)) // old
let options = FindOptions(readPreference: .primary) // new
  • All of the TLS options previously specifiable via the TLSOptions struct have been moved directly into ClientOptions, and have been renamed for consistency with the names used when they are specified via a MongoDB connection string. (SWIFT-753)
  • The maxScan option which has been deprecated since MongoDB v4.0 has been removed from FindOptions and FindOneOptions. (SWIFT-439)
  • Several previous usages of other integer types in the API have been updated to use Int instead (SWIFT-754). Please see this diff for a complete list.
