The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.6.0 of the MongoDB PHP library is now available. This library is a high-level abstraction for the mongodb extension.
Release Highlights
This release introduces classes and options to enable Client-Side Field Level Encryption. With this feature, sensitive data can be automatically encrypted (MongoDB Enterprise Edition only) or explicitly encrypted using the MongoDB\Driver\ClientEncryption API.
The MongoDB\Collection::updateOne, updateMany, replaceOne methods now support a hint option to specify the index that should be used for the query. The option is also supported for update operations in bulk writes. This option requires MongoDB 4.2 or later.
This release deprecates using a JavaScript instance with scope when calling MongoDB\Collection::mapReduce for the map, reduce, and finalize options. Use the scope option instead. The nonAtomic and sharded options for the $out Map-Reduce argument are also deprecated.
Please note that this is the last minor release series that is compatible with PHP 5. Support for PHP 5 will be dropped in the upcoming 1.8.0 release.
