Exciting news!
The MongoDB .NET/C# 3.0 driver is here, and we can’t wait for you to try it!
What’s new in 3.0?
Version 3.0, the first major version of the .NET/C# driver in 8 years, introduces many developer quality-of-life improvements. Highlights include:
- DateTime Improvements
- Client Side Projections in LINQ v3
- Improved Bulk Write API support with MongoDB Atlas 8.0
You can see our blog for the full list of highlights or check out the MongoDB Docs to see what else is new in this release, and as always the source code is on GitHub.
How do I upgrade to 3.0?
Our comprehensive guide to upgrading will help you navigate the breaking changes in version 3.0. For a complete picture of driver and MongoDB version compatibility, please reference this compatibility table.
How does this impact MongoDB’s EF Core Provider?
The EF Core Provider makes it much easier to build .NET applications with Entity Framework Core and MongoDB. While the EF Core Provider is an independent package, it is built on top of the .NET/C# driver. This means that while it won’t be directly affected by this release, future versions will leverage the improvements of the 3.0 driver. To learn more about the EF Core Provider, please see our documentation.
