## About

The PyMongo distribution contains tools for interacting with MongoDB
database from Python. The `bson` package is an implementation of the
[BSON format](http://bsonspec.org) for Python. The `pymongo` package is
a native Python driver for MongoDB, offering both synchronous and asynchronous APIs. The `gridfs` package is a
[gridfs](https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/gridfs/gridfs-spec.md/)
implementation on top of `pymongo`.

PyMongo supports MongoDB 4.4, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. PyMongo follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) for its releases.

## Documentation

Documentation is available at
[mongodb.com](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/).

[API documentation](https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/) and the [full changelog](https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html) for each release is available at [readthedocs.io](https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html).

## Support / Feedback

For issues with, questions about, or feedback for PyMongo, please look
into our [support channels](https://support.mongodb.com/welcome). Please
do not email any of the PyMongo developers directly with issues or
questions - you're more likely to get an answer on
[StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mongodb)
(using a "mongodb" tag).

## Bugs / Feature Requests

Think you've found a bug? Want to see a new feature in PyMongo? Please

### Security Vulnerabilities

If you've identified a security vulnerability in a driver or any other
MongoDB project, please report it according to the [instructions
here](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/create-a-vulnerability-report/).

## Installation

PyMongo can be installed with [pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip):

```bash
python -m pip install pymongo
```

You can also download the project source and do:

```bash
pip install .
```

Do **not** install the "bson" package from pypi. PyMongo comes with
its own bson package; running "pip install bson" installs a third-party
package that is incompatible with PyMongo.

## Dependencies

PyMongo supports CPython 3.11+.

Required dependencies:

Support for `mongodb+srv://` URIs requires [dnspython](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dnspython)

Optional dependencies:

GSSAPI authentication requires
[pykerberos](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pykerberos) on Unix or
[WinKerberos](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/winkerberos) on Windows. The
correct dependency can be installed automatically along with PyMongo:

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[gssapi]"
```

MONGODB-AWS authentication requires
[pymongo-auth-aws](https://pypi.org/project/pymongo-auth-aws/):

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[aws]"
```

OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) requires
[PyOpenSSL](https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenSSL/),
[requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/),
[service_identity](https://pypi.org/project/service_identity/) and may
require [certifi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certifi):

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[ocsp]"
```

Wire protocol compression with snappy requires
[python-snappy](https://pypi.org/project/python-snappy):

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[snappy]"
```

Wire protocol compression with zstandard requires
[backports.zstd](https://pypi.org/project/backports.zstd)
when used with Python versions before 3.14:

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[zstd]"
```

Client-Side Field Level Encryption requires
[pymongocrypt](https://pypi.org/project/pymongocrypt/) and
[pymongo-auth-aws](https://pypi.org/project/pymongo-auth-aws/):

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[encryption]"
```
You can install all dependencies automatically with the following
command:

```bash
python -m pip install "pymongo[gssapi,aws,ocsp,snappy,zstd,encryption]"
```

## Examples

Here's a basic example (for more see the *examples* section of the
docs):

```pycon
>>> import pymongo
>>> client = pymongo.MongoClient("localhost", 27017)
>>> db = client.test
>>> db.name
'test'
>>> db.my_collection
Collection(Database(MongoClient('localhost', 27017), 'test'), 'my_collection')
>>> db.my_collection.insert_one({"x": 10}).inserted_id
ObjectId('4aba15ebe23f6b53b0000000')
>>> db.my_collection.insert_one({"x": 8}).inserted_id
ObjectId('4aba160ee23f6b543e000000')
>>> db.my_collection.insert_one({"x": 11}).inserted_id
ObjectId('4aba160ee23f6b543e000002')
>>> db.my_collection.find_one()
{'x': 10, '_id': ObjectId('4aba15ebe23f6b53b0000000')}
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find():
...     print(item["x"])
...
10
8
11
>>> db.my_collection.create_index("x")
'x_1'
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find().sort("x", pymongo.ASCENDING):
...     print(item["x"])
...
8
10
11
>>> [item["x"] for item in db.my_collection.find().limit(2).skip(1)]
[8, 11]
```

### Overview (`integration_tests/README.md`)

# Integration Tests

A set of tests that verify the usage of PyMongo with downstream packages or frameworks.

Each test uses [PEP 723 inline metadata](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/inline-script-metadata/) and can be run using `pipx` or `uv`.

The `run.sh` convenience script can be used to run all of the files using `uv`.

Here is an example header for the script with the inline dependencies:

```python
# /// script
# dependencies = [
#   "uvloop>=0.18"
# ]
# requires-python = ">=3.10"
# ///
```

Here is an example of using the test helper function to create a configured client for the test:


```python
import asyncio
import sys
from pathlib import Path

# Use pymongo from parent directory.
root = Path(__file__).parent.parent
sys.path.insert(0, str(root))

from test.asynchronous import async_simple_test_client  # noqa: E402


async def main():
    async with async_simple_test_client() as client:
        result = await client.admin.command("ping")
        assert result["ok"]


asyncio.run(main())
```

Changes in Version 4.20.0 (2026/XX/XX)
--------------------------------------

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a disagreement between the C extension and pure-Python BSON decoders
  for binary elements with UUID subtypes (3 and 4) whose payload is not 16
  bytes. Both now decode them to :class:`~bson.binary.Binary` under the
  default ``UNSPECIFIED`` UUID representation, and raise
  :class:`~bson.errors.InvalidBSON` when UUID conversion is requested
  (`PYTHON-6172`_).
- Fixed a bug where ``MongoClient(maxPoolSize=0, minPoolSize>0)`` raised
  ``ValueError``, even though ``maxPoolSize=0`` means "no limit". The
  ``minPoolSize <= maxPoolSize`` validation now treats both ``0`` and ``None``
  as unlimited (`PYTHON-6149`_).

.. _PYTHON-6172: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-6172
.. _PYTHON-6149: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-6149

Changes in Version 4.19.0 (2026/10/14)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.19 brings a number of changes including:

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.19 drops support for Python 3.9 and 3.10 and removes
  PyPy support: Python 3.11+ is now required.

- Added support for Python 3.15.
- Dropped support for Python 3.9 and 3.10.
- Removed support for PyPy.
- Removed the deprecated ``Algorithm.RANGEPREVIEW`` and
  ``QueryType.RANGEPREVIEW`` members (`PYTHON-6009`_).
- Added support for running the synchronous and asynchronous clients in
  subinterpreters, including inside
  ``concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor`` (Python 3.14+). Only in
  subinterpreters, which do not allow daemon threads, the synchronous
  client's monitor threads now start as non-daemon threads and are stopped
  and joined when the interpreter is torn down. Monitor threads in the main
  interpreter remain daemon threads and shutdown behavior is unchanged.
  Note that because these threads are non-daemon, a subinterpreter may block
  on teardown until any in-flight monitor work completes.
- Added support for routing Key Management Service (KMS) requests for
  Client-Side Field Level Encryption and Queryable Encryption through an HTTP
  proxy, using the new ``kms_connect_callback`` option on
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`,
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.encryption.AsyncClientEncryption`. The callback
  opens the connection and the driver performs the KMS TLS handshake over it, so
  verification still targets the KMS host rather than the proxy. For an ordinary
  HTTP proxy, pass :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.HTTPProxyKMSConnect` or
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AsyncHTTPProxyKMSConnect` instead of
  writing a callback. Both helpers accept custom ``CONNECT`` headers, e.g.
  ``Proxy-Authorization`` for proxies that require authentication.
- Added the ``srv_host_validator`` keyword argument to
  :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient`, an alternative to
  ``srvAllowedHostsSuffix`` for deployments whose acceptable SRV hosts cannot be
  expressed as a single suffix. The callback is invoked once per SRV-returned
  host and must return a boolean: ``True`` to accept the host and ``False`` to
  reject it. During initial DNS discovery a non-boolean return raises an error;
  during SRV polling it is treated as a rejection. It is mutually exclusive with
  ``srvAllowedHostsSuffix`` and, because it takes a callable, cannot be set in a
  connection string. See the
  :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient` documentation for
  security considerations.
- ``srvAllowedHostsSuffix`` may now be set to a single label reserved for
  private or special use, such as ``localhost``, ``test``, or ``internal``.

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a bug where the synchronous client could permanently deadlock under
  gevent when a greenlet was killed while checking a connection back into
  the pool (`PYTHON-6074`_).
- ``MongoClient.append_metadata()`` and ``AsyncMongoClient.append_metadata()``
  now detect duplicates by comparing the whole
  :class:`~pymongo.driver_info.DriverInfo` instead of only its name. The
  comparison is exact, so drivers that differ in name case or platform are no
  longer treated as duplicates (`PYTHON-6040`_).
- ``driver.name`` and ``driver.version`` in the handshake metadata are now
  ``|``-delimited lists with 1:1 index correspondence, including empty version
  entries for the built-in ``|c`` and ``|async`` name segments
  (`PYTHON-6040`_).
- Fixed a bug where truncating the handshake metadata to 512 bytes could leave
  ``driver.name`` and ``driver.version`` with different numbers of ``|``
  delimiters (`PYTHON-6040`_).
- :class:`~pymongo.driver_info.DriverInfo` now raises :class:`ValueError` when
  any field contains the reserved ``|`` delimiter (`PYTHON-6040`_).
- Fixed a bug in SRV polling where invalid hosts where topology would not be
  updated if one returned host was invalid.
- Fixed a bug where the C extension's BSON decoder accepted documents whose
  element data overlaps the document terminator instead of raising
  ``InvalidBSON`` (`PYTHON-6111`_).
- Fixed a bug where the pure-Python ``decode_all()`` accepted buffers ending
  in a partial document instead of raising ``InvalidBSON``, now matching the
  C extension (`PYTHON-6163`_).

Changes in Version 4.18.2 (2026/09/24)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.18.2 is a bug fix release.

- Hardened the bson buffer size guard against signed integer overflow. (`CVE-2026-96749`_).
- Fixed connection string parsing to percent-decode each host individually. (`CVE-2026-96748`_).
- Client-side field level encryption now rejects a KMS endpoint ending in ``.sock``. (`CVE-2026-96747`_).

Changes in Version 4.18.1 (2026/09/10)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.18.1 is a bug fix release.

- Use an exact match for the file ID in GridFS delete methods
  (`CVE-2026-88029`_).

.. _CVE-2026-88029: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-88029

Changes in Version 4.18.0 (2026/09/03)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.18 brings a number of changes including:

- Added ``srvAllowedHostsSuffix`` as a URI option and keyword argument to
  :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient`. When connecting
  via ``mongodb+srv://``, this option overrides the default requirement that
  SRV-returned hosts share the same parent domain as the seed hostname,
  allowing hosts under a different domain suffix to be accepted. The suffix must
  not be a public suffix (per the `Public Suffix List
  <https://publicsuffix.org/list/>`_). See the
  :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient` documentation for
  security considerations.
- Dropped support for MongoDB 4.2.
- Added support for MongoDB 9.0.
- PyPy support is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
- Improved TLS connection performance by reusing TLS sessions across connections
  to the same server, avoiding a full handshake on each new connection.
  Session resumption is supported on all Python versions for synchronous clients
  and on Python 3.11+ for async clients.
- Improved performance for MongoDB 9.0's Intelligent Workload Management (IWM) by only retrying overload errors when doing so is expected to not worsen server conditions.
- Added support for exhaust cursors (:attr:`~pymongo.cursor.CursorType.EXHAUST`)
  against mongos 7.1+. An older mongos still raises
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.InvalidOperation`, now on the first iteration of the
  cursor rather than from
  :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.collection.Collection.find`, since the requirement
  is checked against the connection in use. Separately, async cursors combining
  ``limit`` with :attr:`~pymongo.cursor.CursorType.EXHAUST` now raise at ``find``
  rather than on first iteration, matching the synchronous API.
- Redacted potentially sensitive authentication mechanism properties, including
  AWS session tokens, from the representations of
  :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient`.
- Command monitoring events and command log messages for a single logical
  operation now share one stable ``operation_id`` across all of its retry
  attempts, so consumers can correlate a retried operation's events. As a
  result, ``operation_id`` is no longer equal to the per-attempt ``request_id``
  for these operations.
- Added validation of OP_COMPRESSED decompressed message size against
  ``max_message_size`` to prevent memory exhaustion from maliciously crafted
  compressed server responses.
- Improved the performance and memory usage of decoding large documents to
  :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument`. Documents and subdocuments that are 4KB or greater
  and decoded from an immutable buffer are now exposed as read-only :class:`memoryview`
  slices instead of :class:`bytes` copies. Documents decoded from mutable buffers such as a
  :class:`bytearray` are always :class:`bytes` copies.
- :func:`bson.get_data_and_view` now returns a view of a private :class:`bytes` copy
  for buffer-protocol inputs other than :class:`bytes` or :class:`bytearray`.
- Improved the performance of lazily decoding a
  :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument` when the C extension is available.
- Fixed a potential out-of-bounds read in the C extension when decoding an
  array of BSON documents. An embedded document whose declared length exceeds
  the bytes remaining in the array now raises
  :class:`~bson.errors.InvalidBSON` instead of reading past the end of the
  buffer.
- Fixed :func:`bson.json_util.loads` to reject ``$timestamp`` values containing
  fields other than ``t`` and ``i``.
- Fixed a bug on Windows, and on macOS when using PyOpenSSL, where
  ``SSL_CERT_FILE``/``SSL_CERT_DIR`` were merged with, rather than replacing,
  the OS/certifi certificate store.
- Added general availability support for Queryable Encryption prefix, suffix,
  and substring queries against MongoDB 9.0+. These queries require
  libmongocrypt 1.20.0 or later:

  - Added :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.Algorithm.STRING` and
    :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.StringOpts`, replacing
    ``Algorithm.TEXTPREVIEW`` and ``TextOpts``, which are now deprecated.
  - Added :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.PREFIX`,
    :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.SUFFIX`, and
    :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.SUBSTRING`. The corresponding
    ``PREFIXPREVIEW``, ``SUFFIXPREVIEW``, and ``SUBSTRINGPREVIEW`` query types
    remain for experimental use with MongoDB versions before 9.0.
  - Added the ``string_opts`` parameter to
    :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.encrypt` and
    :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.encryption.AsyncClientEncryption.encrypt`,
    deprecating ``text_opts``. pymongocrypt added ``text_opts`` in 1.16 and
    renamed it to ``string_opts`` in 1.19, and accepts only one of the two
    names per release, so passing ``text_opts`` with pymongocrypt 1.19 or
    later, ``string_opts`` with pymongocrypt 1.16 through 1.18, or both names
    at once, raises :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError`.
- Aggregation helpers now raise :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError` when
  passed an ``aggregate`` or ``pipeline`` keyword argument. Previously these
  keys silently replaced the target namespace and pipeline of the generated
  ``aggregate`` command. This affects
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.collection.AsyncCollection.aggregate` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.collection.Collection.aggregate`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.collection.AsyncCollection.aggregate_raw_batches`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.collection.Collection.aggregate_raw_batches`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.database.AsyncDatabase.aggregate` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.database.Database.aggregate`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.collection.AsyncCollection.list_search_indexes`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.collection.Collection.list_search_indexes`.

Changes in Version 4.17.0 (2026/04/20)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.17 brings a number of changes including:

- ``has_key``, ``iterkeys`` and ``itervalues`` in :class:`bson.son.SON` have
  been deprecated and will be removed in PyMongo 5.0. These methods were
  deprecated in favor of the standard dictionary containment operator ``in``
  and the ``keys()`` and ``values()`` methods, respectively.
- Added the :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.client_session.AsyncClientSession.bind` and :meth:`~pymongo.client_session.ClientSession.bind` methods
  that allow users to bind a session to all database operations within the scope of a context manager instead of having to explicitly pass the session to each individual operation.
  See the `Transactions docs <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/transactions/#methods>`_ for examples and more information.
- Added support for MongoDB's `Intelligent Workload Management <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/intelligent-workload-management/>`_ (IWM) and ingress connection rate limiting features in MongoDB server version 9.0.
  The driver will gracefully handle write-blocking scenarios and optimizes connection establishment during high-load conditions to maintain application availability.

Changes in Version 4.16.0 (2026/01/07)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.16 brings a number of changes including:

- Removed invalid documents from :class:`bson.errors.InvalidDocument` error messages as
  doing so may leak sensitive user data.
  Instead, invalid documents are stored in :attr:`bson.errors.InvalidDocument.document`.
- PyMongo now requires ``dnspython>=2.6.1``, since ``dnspython`` 1.0 is no longer maintained.
  The minimum version is ``2.6.1`` to account for `CVE-2023-29483 <https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-29483>`_.
- Removed support for Eventlet.
  Eventlet is actively being sunset by its maintainers and has compatibility issues with PyMongo's dnspython dependency.
- Use Zstandard support from the standard library for Python 3.14+, and use ``backports.zstd`` for older versions.
- Fixed return type annotation for ``find_one_and_*`` methods on :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.collection.AsyncCollection`
  and :class:`~pymongo.synchronous.collection.Collection` to include ``None``.
- Added support for NumPy 1D-arrays in :class:`bson.binary.BinaryVector`.
- Prevented :class:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption` from loading the crypt
  shared library to fix "MongoCryptError: An existing crypt_shared library is
  loaded by the application" unless the linked library search path is set.

Changes in Version 4.15.5 (2025/12/02)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.15.5 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug that could cause ``AutoReconnect("connection pool paused")`` errors when cursors fetched more documents from the database after SDAM heartbeat failures.

Changes in Version 4.15.4 (2025/10/21)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.15.4 is a bug fix release.

- Relaxed the callback type of :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.client_session.AsyncClientSession.with_transaction` to allow the broader Awaitable type rather than only Coroutine objects.
- Added the missing Python 3.14 trove classifier to the package metadata.

Changes in Version 4.15.1 (2025/09/16)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.15.1 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug in :meth:`~pymongo.synchronous.encryption.ClientEncryption.encrypt`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.encryption.AsyncClientEncryption.encrypt`
  that would cause a ``TypeError`` when using ``pymongocrypt<1.16`` by passing
  an unsupported ``type_opts`` parameter even if Queryable Encryption text
  queries beta was not used.

- Fixed a bug in ``AsyncMongoClient`` that caused a ``ServerSelectionTimeoutError``
  when used with ``uvicorn``, ``FastAPI``, or ``uvloop``.

Changes in Version 4.15.0 (2025/09/10)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.15 brings a number of changes including:

- Added :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.TextOpts`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.Algorithm.TEXTPREVIEW`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.PREFIXPREVIEW`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.SUFFIXPREVIEW`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.QueryType.SUBSTRINGPREVIEW`,
  as part of the experimental Queryable Encryption text queries beta.
  ``pymongocrypt>=1.16`` is required for text query support.
- Added :class:`bson.decimal128.DecimalEncoder` and
  :class:`bson.decimal128.DecimalDecoder`
  to support encoding and decoding of BSON Decimal128 values to
  decimal.Decimal values using the TypeRegistry API.
- Added support for Windows ``arm64`` wheels.

Changes in Version 4.14.1 (2025/08/19)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.14.1 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug in ``MongoClient.append_metadata()`` and
  ``AsyncMongoClient.append_metadata()``
  that allowed duplicate ``DriverInfo.name`` to be appended to the metadata.

Changes in Version 4.14.0 (2025/08/06)
--------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.14 drops support for MongoDB 4.0. PyMongo now supports
   MongoDB 4.2+.

PyMongo 4.14 brings a number of changes including:

- Dropped support for MongoDB 4.0.
- Added preliminary support for Python 3.14 and 3.14 with free-threading. We do
  not yet support the following with Python 3.14:

  - Subinterpreters (``concurrent.interpreters``)
  - Free-threading with Encryption
  - mod_wsgi

- Removed experimental support for free-threading support in Python 3.13.
- Added :attr:`bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry.codecs` and
  :attr:`bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry.fallback_encoder` properties
  to allow users to directly access the type codecs and fallback encoder for a
  given :class:`bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry`.
- Added
  :meth:`pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient.append_metadata` and
  :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.append_metadata` to allow instantiated
  MongoClients to send client metadata on-demand
- Improved performance of selecting a server with the Primary selector.
- Introduces a minor breaking change. When encoding
  :class:`bson.binary.BinaryVector`, a ``ValueError`` will be raised if the
  'padding' metadata field is < 0 or > 7, or non-zero for any type other than
  PACKED_BIT.
- Changed :meth:`~pymongo.uri_parser.parse_uri`'s ``options`` return value to be
  type ``dict`` instead of ``_CaseInsensitiveDictionary``.

Changes in Version 4.13.2 (2025/06/17)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.13.2 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug where ``AsyncMongoClient`` would block the event loop while creating new connections,
  potentially significantly increasing latency for ongoing operations.

Changes in Version 4.13.1 (2025/06/10)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.13.1 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug that could raise ``ServerSelectionTimeoutError`` when using timeouts with ``AsyncMongoClient``.
- Fixed a bug that could raise ``NetworkTimeout`` errors on Windows.

Changes in Version 4.13.0 (2025/05/14)
--------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.13 brings a number of changes including:

- The asynchronous API is now stable and no longer in beta.
  See the :mod:`pymongo.asynchronous` docs
  or the `migration guide <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/reference/migration/>`_ for more information.
- Fixed a bug where :class:`pymongo.write_concern.WriteConcern` repr was not eval-able
  when using ``w="majority"``.
- When padding is set, ignored bits in a BSON BinaryVector of PACKED_BIT dtype should be set to zero.
  When encoding, this is enforced and is a breaking change.
  It is not yet enforced when decoding, so reading from the database will not fail, however a warning will be triggered.
  From PyMongo 5.0, this rule will be enforced for both encoding and decoding.

Changes in Version 4.12.1 (2025/04/29)
--------------------------------------

Version 4.12.1 is a bug fix release.

- Fixed a bug that could raise ``UnboundLocalError`` when creating asynchronous connections over SSL.
- Fixed a bug causing SRV hostname validation to fail when resolver and resolved hostnames are identical with three domain levels.
- Fixed a bug that caused direct use of ``pymongo.uri_parser`` to raise an ``AttributeError``.
- Fixed a bug where clients created with connect=False and a "mongodb+srv://" connection string
  could cause public ``pymongo.MongoClient`` and ``pymongo.AsyncMongoClient`` attributes (topology_description,
  nodes, address, primary, secondaries, arbiters) to incorrectly return a Database, leading to type
  errors such as: "NotImplementedError: Database objects do not implement truth value testing or bool()".
- Removed Eventlet testing against Python versions newer than 3.9 since
  Eventlet is actively being sunset by its maintainers and has compatibility issues with PyMongo's dnspython dependency.
- Fixed a bug where MongoDB cluster topology changes could cause asynchronous operations to take much longer to complete
  due to holding the Topology lock while closing stale connections.
- Fixed a bug that would cause AsyncMongoClient to attempt to use PyOpenSSL when available, resulting in errors such as
  "pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: 'SSLContext' object has no attribute 'wrap_bio'".

Changes in Version 4.12.0 (2025/04/08)
--------------------------------------

.. warning:: Driver support for MongoDB 4.0 reached end of life in April 2025.
   PyMongo 4.12 will be the last release to support MongoDB 4.0.

PyMongo 4.12 brings a number of changes including:

- Support for configuring DEK cache lifetime via the ``key_expiration_ms`` argument to
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`.
- Support for $lookup in CSFLE and QE supported on MongoDB 8.1+.
- pymongocrypt>=1.13 is now required for `In-Use Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#in-use-encryption>`_ support.
- Added :meth:`gridfs.asynchronous.grid_file.AsyncGridFSBucket.rename_by_name` and :meth:`gridfs.grid_file.GridFSBucket.rename_by_name`
  for more performant renaming of a file with multiple revisions.
- Added :meth:`gridfs.asynchronous.grid_file.AsyncGridFSBucket.delete_by_name` and :meth:`gridfs.grid_file.GridFSBucket.delete_by_name`
  for more performant deletion of a file with multiple revisions.
- AsyncMongoClient no longer performs DNS resolution for "mongodb+srv://" connection strings on creation.
  To avoid blocking the asyncio loop, the resolution is now deferred until the client is first connected.
- Added index hinting support to the
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.collection.AsyncCollection.distinct` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.distinct` commands.
- Deprecated the ``hedge`` parameter for
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.PrimaryPreferred`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.Secondary`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.SecondaryPreferred`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.Nearest`. Support for ``hedge`` will be removed in PyMongo 5.0.
- Removed PyOpenSSL support from the asynchronous API due to limitations of the CPython asyncio.Protocol SSL implementation.
- Allow valid SRV hostnames with less than 3 parts.

Changes in Version 4.11.1 (2025/02/10)
--------------------------------------

- Fixed support for prebuilt ``ppc64le`` and ``s390x`` wheels.

Changes in Version 4.11.0 (2025/01/28)
--------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.11 drops support for Python 3.8 and PyPy 3.9: Python 3.9+ or PyPy 3.10+ is now required.
.. warning:: PyMongo 4.11 drops support for MongoDB 3.6. PyMongo now supports MongoDB 4.0+.
   Driver support for MongoDB 3.6 reached end of life in April 2024.
.. warning:: Driver support for MongoDB 4.0 reaches end of life in April 2025.
   A future minor release of PyMongo will raise the minimum supported MongoDB Server version from 4.0 to 4.2.
   This is in accordance with [MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules](https://www.mongodb.com/legal/support-policy/lifecycles).
   **Support for MongoDB Server 4.0 will be dropped in a future release!**
.. warning:: This version does not include wheels for ``ppc64le`` or ``s390x`` architectures, see `PYTHON-5058`_ for more information.

PyMongo 4.11 brings a number of changes including:

- Dropped support for Python 3.8 and PyPy 3.9.
- Dropped support for MongoDB 3.6.
- Dropped support for the MONGODB-CR authenticate mechanism, which is no longer supported by MongoDB 4.0+.
- pymongocrypt>=1.12 is now required for `In-Use Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#in-use-encryption>`_ support.
- Added support for free-threaded Python with the GIL disabled. For more information see:
  `Free-threaded CPython <https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html#whatsnew313-free-threaded-cpython>`_.
  We do not yet support free-threaded Python on Windows (`PYTHON-5027`_) or with In-Use Encryption (`PYTHON-5024`_).
- :attr:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient.address` and
  :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.address` now correctly block when called on unconnected clients
  until either connection succeeds or a server selection timeout error is raised.
- Added :func:`repr` support to :class:`pymongo.operations.IndexModel`.
- Added :func:`repr` support to :class:`pymongo.operations.SearchIndexModel`.
- Added ``sort`` parameter to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`, :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.replace_one`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`,
- :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.bulk_write` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient.bulk_write` now throw an error
  when ``ordered=True`` or ``verboseResults=True`` are used with unacknowledged writes.
  These are unavoidable breaking changes.
- Fixed a bug in :const:`bson.json_util.dumps` where a :class:`bson.datetime_ms.DatetimeMS` would
  be incorrectly encoded as ``'{"$date": "X"}'`` instead of ``'{"$date": X}'`` when using the
  legacy MongoDB Extended JSON datetime representation.
- Fixed a bug where :const:`bson.json_util.loads` would raise an IndexError when parsing an invalid
  ``"$date"`` instead of a ValueError.

Changes in Version 4.10.0 (2024/09/30)
--------------------------------------

- Added provisional **(BETA)** support for a new Binary BSON subtype (9) used for efficient storage and retrieval of vectors:
  densely packed arrays of numbers, all of the same type.
  This includes new methods :meth:`~bson.binary.Binary.from_vector` and :meth:`~bson.binary.Binary.as_vector`.
- Added C extension use to client metadata, for example: ``{"driver": {"name": "PyMongo|c", "version": "4.10.0"}, ...}``
- Fixed a bug where :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient` could deadlock.
- Fixed a bug where PyMongo could fail to import on Windows if ``asyncio`` is misconfigured.

Changes in Version 4.9 (2024/09/18)
-----------------------------------

.. warning:: Driver support for MongoDB 3.6 reached end of life in April 2024.
   PyMongo 4.9 will be the last release to support MongoDB 3.6.

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.9 refactors a large portion of internal APIs to support the new asynchronous API beta.
   As a result, versions of Motor older than 3.6 are not compatible with PyMongo 4.9.
   Existing users of these versions must either upgrade to Motor 3.6 and PyMongo 4.9,
   or cap their PyMongo version to ``< 4.9``.
   Any applications that use private APIs may also break as a result of these internal changes.

PyMongo 4.9 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added support for MongoDB 8.0.
- Added support for Python 3.13.
- A new beta asynchronous API with full asyncio support.
  This new asynchronous API is a work-in-progress that may change during the beta period before the full release.
- Added support for In-Use Encryption range queries with MongoDB 8.0.
  Added :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.Algorithm.RANGE`.
  ``sparsity`` and ``trim_factor`` are now optional in :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.RangeOpts`.
- Added support for the "delegated" option for the KMIP ``master_key`` in
  :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.create_data_key`.
- pymongocrypt>=1.10 is now required for `In-Use Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#in-use-encryption>`_ support.
- Added :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.to_list` to :class:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor`,
  :class:`~pymongo.command_cursor.CommandCursor`,
  :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.cursor.AsyncCursor`,
  and :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.command_cursor.AsyncCommandCursor`
  as an asynchronous-friendly alternative to ``list(cursor)``.
- Added :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.bulk_write` to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`
  and :class:`~pymongo.asynchronous.mongo_client.AsyncMongoClient`,
  enabling users to perform insert, update, and delete operations
  against mixed namespaces in a minimized number of round trips.
  Please see `Client Bulk Write <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/bulk-write/#client-bulk-write-example>`_ for more information.
- Added support for the ``namespace`` parameter to the
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.InsertOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.ReplaceOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteOne`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteMany` operations, so
  they can be used in the new :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.bulk_write`.
- Added :func:`repr` support to :class:`bson.tz_util.FixedOffset`.
- Fixed a bug where PyMongo would raise ``InvalidBSON: unhashable type: 'tzfile'``
  when using :attr:`~bson.codec_options.DatetimeConversion.DATETIME_CLAMP` or
  :attr:`~bson.codec_options.DatetimeConversion.DATETIME_AUTO` with a timezone from dateutil.
- Fixed a bug where PyMongo would raise ``InvalidBSON: date value out of range``
  when using :attr:`~bson.codec_options.DatetimeConversion.DATETIME_CLAMP` or
  :attr:`~bson.codec_options.DatetimeConversion.DATETIME_AUTO` with a non-UTC timezone.
- Added a warning to unclosed MongoClient instances
  telling users to explicitly close clients when finished with them to avoid leaking resources.
  For example:

  .. code-block::

    sys:1: ResourceWarning: Unclosed MongoClient opened at:
        File "/Users/<user>/my_file.py", line 8, in <module>``
            client = MongoClient()
    Call MongoClient.close() to safely shut down your client and free up resources.
- The default value for ``connect`` in ``MongoClient`` is changed to ``False`` when running on
  unction-as-a-service (FaaS) like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions.
  On some FaaS systems, there is a ``fork()`` operation at function
  startup.  By delaying the connection to the first operation, we avoid a deadlock.  See
  `multiple forks <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/mongoclient/#multiple-forks>`_ for more information.

Changes in Version 4.8.0 (2024/06/26)
-------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.8 drops support for Python 3.7 and PyPy 3.8: Python 3.8+ or PyPy 3.9+ is now required.

PyMongo 4.8 brings a number of improvements including:

- The handshake metadata for "os.name" on Windows has been simplified to "Windows" to improve import time.
- The repr of ``bson.binary.Binary`` is now redacted when the subtype is SENSITIVE_SUBTYPE(8).
- Secure Software Development Life Cycle automation for release process.
  GitHub Releases now include a Software Bill of Materials, and signature
  files corresponding to the distribution files released on PyPI.
- Fixed a bug in change streams where both ``startAtOperationTime`` and ``resumeToken``
  could be added to a retry attempt, which caused the retry to fail.
- Fallback to stdlib ``ssl`` module when ``pyopenssl`` import fails with AttributeError.
- Improved performance of MongoClient operations, especially when many operations are being run concurrently.

Unavoidable breaking changes
............................

- Since we are now using ``hatch`` as our build backend, we no longer have a usable ``setup.py`` file
  and require installation using ``pip``.  Attempts to invoke the ``setup.py`` file will raise an exception.
  Additionally, ``pip`` >= 21.3 is now required for editable installs.
- We no longer support the ``srv`` extra, since ``dnspython`` is included as a dependency in PyMongo 4.7+.
  Instead of ``pip install pymongo[srv]``, use ``pip install pymongo``.
- We no longer support the ``tls`` extra, which was only valid for Python 2.
  Instead of ``pip install pymongo[tls]``, use ``pip install pymongo``.

Changes in Version 4.7.0 (2024/04/24)
-------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.7 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added support for ``MONGODB-OIDC`` authentication.  The MONGODB-OIDC mechanism authenticates
  using an OpenID Connect (OIDC) access token.
  The driver supports OIDC for workload identity, defined as an identity you assign to a software workload
  (such as an application, service, script, or container) to authenticate and access other services and resources.
  Please see `Authentication <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/#authentication-mechanisms>`_ for more information.
- Added support for Python's `native logging library <https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html>`_,
  enabling developers to customize the verbosity of log messages for their applications.
  Please see `Logging <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/monitoring-and-logging/logging/#logging>`_ for more information.
- Significantly improved the performance of encoding BSON documents to JSON.
- Added support for named KMS providers for client side field level encryption.
  Previously supported KMS providers were only: aws, azure, gcp, kmip, and local.
  The KMS provider is now expanded to support name suffixes (e.g. local:myname).
  Named KMS providers enables more than one of each KMS provider type to be configured.
  See the docstring for :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`.
  Note that named KMS providers requires pymongocrypt >=1.9 and libmongocrypt >=1.9.
- Added the :class:`pymongo.hello.Hello.connection_id`,
  :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.CommandStartedEvent.server_connection_id`,
  :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.CommandSucceededEvent.server_connection_id`, and
  :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.CommandFailedEvent.server_connection_id` properties.
- Fixed a bug where inflating a :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument` containing a :class:`~bson.code.Code` would cause an error.
- :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.encrypt` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.encrypt_expression` now allow ``key_id``
  to be passed in as a :class:`uuid.UUID`.
- Fixed a bug where :class:`~bson.int64.Int64` instances could not always be encoded by `orjson`_. The following now
  works::

    >>> import orjson
    >>> from bson import json_util
    >>> orjson.dumps({'a': Int64(1)}, default=json_util.default, option=orjson.OPT_PASSTHROUGH_SUBCLASS)

.. _orjson: https://github.com/ijl/orjson

- Fixed a bug appearing in Python 3.12 where "RuntimeError: can't create new thread at interpreter shutdown"
  could be written to stderr when a MongoClient's thread starts as the python interpreter is shutting down.
- Added a warning when connecting to DocumentDB and CosmosDB clusters.
  For more information regarding feature compatibility and support please visit
  `mongodb.com/supportability/documentdb <https://mongodb.com/supportability/documentdb>`_ and
  `mongodb.com/supportability/cosmosdb <https://mongodb.com/supportability/cosmosdb>`_.
- Added the :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.ConnectionCheckedOutEvent.duration`,
  :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.ConnectionCheckOutFailedEvent.duration`, and
  :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.ConnectionReadyEvent.duration` properties.
- Added the ``type`` and ``kwargs`` arguments to :class:`~pymongo.operations.SearchIndexModel` to enable
  creating vector search indexes in MongoDB Atlas.
- Fixed a bug where ``read_concern`` and ``write_concern`` were improperly added to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.list_search_indexes` queries.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.write_concern.WriteConcern.wtimeout` and :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.wTimeoutMS`.
  Use :meth:`~pymongo.timeout` instead.

.. warning:: PyMongo depends on ``dnspython``, which released version 2.6.1 with a fix for
   `CVE-2023-29483 <https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-29483>`_.  We do not explicitly require
   that version, but we strongly recommend that you install at least that version in your environment.

Unavoidable breaking changes
............................

- Replaced usage of :class:`bson.son.SON` on all internal classes and commands to dict,
  :attr:`options.pool_options.metadata` is now of type ``dict`` as opposed to :class:`bson.son.SON`.
  Here's some examples of how this changes expected output as well as how to convert from :class:`dict` to :class:`bson.son.SON`::

    # Before
    >>> from pymongo import MongoClient
    >>> client = MongoClient()
    >>> client.options.pool_options.metadata
    SON([('driver', SON([('name', 'PyMongo'), ('version', '4.7.0.dev0')])), ('os', SON([('type', 'Darwin'), ('name', 'Darwin'), ('architecture', 'arm64'), ('version', '14.3')])), ('platform', 'CPython 3.11.6.final.0')])

    # After
    >>> client.options.pool_options.metadata
    {'driver': {'name': 'PyMongo', 'version': '4.7.0.dev0'}, 'os': {'type': 'Darwin', 'name': 'Darwin', 'architecture': 'arm64', 'version': '14.3'}, 'platform': 'CPython 3.11.6.final.0'}

    # To convert from dict to SON
    # This will only convert the first layer of the dictionary
    >>> data_as_dict = client.options.pool_options.metadata
    >>> SON(data_as_dict)
    SON([('driver', {'name': 'PyMongo', 'version': '4.7.0.dev0'}), ('os', {'type': 'Darwin', 'name': 'Darwin', 'architecture': 'arm64', 'version': '14.3'}), ('platform', 'CPython 3.11.6.final.0')])

    # To convert from dict to SON on a nested dictionary
    >>> def dict_to_SON(data_as_dict: dict[Any, Any]):
    ...     data_as_SON = SON()
    ...     for key, value in data_as_dict.items():
    ...         data_as_SON[key] = dict_to_SON(value) if isinstance(value, dict) else value
    ...     return data_as_SON
    >>>
    >>> dict_to_SON(data_as_dict)
    SON([('driver', SON([('name', 'PyMongo'), ('version', '4.7.0.dev0')])), ('os', SON([('type', 'Darwin'), ('name', 'Darwin'), ('architecture', 'arm64'), ('version', '14.3')])), ('platform', 'CPython 3.11.6.final.0')])

- PyMongo now uses `lazy imports <https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html#implementing-lazy-imports>`_ for external dependencies.
  If you are relying on any kind of monkey-patching of the standard library, you may need to explicitly import those external libraries in addition
  to ``pymongo`` before applying the patch.  Note that we test with ``gevent`` and ``eventlet`` patching, and those continue to work.

- The "aws" extra now requires minimum version of ``1.1.0`` for ``pymongo_auth_aws``.

Changes in Version 4.6.3 (2024/03/27)
-------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.6.3 fixes the following bug:

- Fixed a potential memory access violation when decoding invalid bson.

Changes in Version 4.6.0 (2023/11/01)
-------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.6 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added the ``serverMonitoringMode`` URI and keyword argument to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`.
- Improved client performance and reduced connection requirements in Function-as-a-service (FaaS)
  environments like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions.
- Added the :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.CommandSucceededEvent.database_name` property.
- Added the :attr:`pymongo.monitoring.CommandFailedEvent.database_name` property.
- Allow passing a ``dict`` to sort/create_index/hint.
- Added :func:`repr` support to the write result classes:
  :class:`~pymongo.results.BulkWriteResult`,
  :class:`~pymongo.results.DeleteResult`,
  :class:`~pymongo.results.InsertManyResult`,
  :class:`~pymongo.results.InsertOneResult`,
  :class:`~pymongo.results.UpdateResult`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption.RewrapManyDataKeyResult`. For example:

    >>> client.t.t.insert_one({})
    InsertOneResult(ObjectId('65319acdd55bb3a27ab5502b'), acknowledged=True)
    >>> client.t.t.insert_many([{} for _ in range(3)])
    InsertManyResult([ObjectId('6532f85e826f2b6125d6ce39'), ObjectId('6532f85e826f2b6125d6ce3a'), ObjectId('6532f85e826f2b6125d6ce3b')], acknowledged=True)

- :meth:`~pymongo.uri_parser.parse_uri` now considers the delimiting slash (``/``)
  between hosts and connection options optional. For example,
  "mongodb://example.com?tls=true" is now a valid URI.
- Fixed a bug where PyMongo would incorrectly promote all cursors to exhaust cursors
  when connected to load balanced MongoDB clusters or Serverless clusters.
- Added the `network compression <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/network-compression/#compress-network-traffic>`_ documentation page.
- Added more timeout information to network errors.

Changes in Version 4.5.0 (2023/08/22)
-------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.5 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added new helper methods for Atlas Search Index (requires MongoDB Server 7.0+):
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.list_search_indexes`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_search_index`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_search_indexes`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_search_index`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_search_index`
- Added :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.cursor_command`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.command_cursor.CommandCursor.try_next` to support
  executing an arbitrary command that returns a cursor.
- ``cryptography`` 2.5 or later is now required for `OCSP <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/tls/#ocsp>`_ support.
- Improved bson encoding and decoding performance by up to 134%(`PYTHON-3729`_, `PYTHON-3797`_, `PYTHON-3816`_, `PYTHON-3817`_, `PYTHON-3820`_, `PYTHON-3824`_, and `PYTHON-3846`_).

-------------------------------------

Version 4.4.1 fixes the following bugs:

- Fixed a bug where pymongo would raise a ``ConfigurationError: Invalid SRV host``
  error when connecting to a "mongodb+srv://" URI that included capital letters
  in the SRV hosts returned from DNS. (`PYTHON-3800`_).
- Fixed a minor reference counting bug in the C extension (`PYTHON-3798`_).

Changes in Version 4.4.0 (2023/06/21)
-------------------------------------

PyMongo 4.4 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added support for MongoDB 7.0.
- Added support for Python 3.11.
- Added support for passing a list containing (key, direction) pairs
  or keys to :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index`.
- Improved bson encoding performance (`PYTHON-3717`_ and `PYTHON-3718`_).
- Improved support for Pyright to improve typing support for IDEs like Visual Studio Code
  or Visual Studio.
- Improved support for type-checking with MyPy "strict" mode (`--strict`).
- Added :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.create_encrypted_collection`,
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.EncryptedCollectionError`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.encrypt_expression`,
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.RangeOpts`,
  and :attr:`~pymongo.encryption.Algorithm.RANGEPREVIEW` as part of the experimental
  Queryable Encryption beta.
- pymongocrypt 1.6.0 or later is now required for `In-Use Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#in-use-encryption>`_ support. MongoDB
  Server 7.0 introduced a backwards breaking change to the QE protocol. Users taking
  advantage of the Queryable Encryption beta must now upgrade to MongoDB 7.0+ and
  PyMongo 4.4+.
- Previously, PyMongo's docs recommended using :meth:`datetime.datetime.utcnow` and
  :meth:`datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp`. utcnow and utcfromtimestamp are deprecated
  in Python 3.12, for reasons explained `in this Github issue`_. Instead, users should
  use :meth:`datetime.datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc)` and
  :meth:`datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(tz=timezone.utc)` instead.

Changes in Version 4.3.3 (2022/11/17)
-------------------------------------

Version 4.3.3 documents support for the following:

- `CSFLE on-demand credentials <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v7.0/core/csfle/tutorials/aws/aws-automatic/?interface=driver&language=python#use-automatic-client-side-field-level-encryption-with-aws>`_ for cloud KMS providers.
- Authentication support for `EKS Clusters <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/aws-iam/#assumerolewithwebidentity>`_.
- Added the `timeout <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/csot/#limit-server-execution-time>`_ example page to improve the documentation
  for :func:`pymongo.timeout`.

Bug Fixes
.........
- Fixed a performance regression in :meth:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket.download_to_stream`
  and :meth:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket.download_to_stream_by_name` by reading in chunks
  instead of line by line (`PYTHON-3502`_).

Changes in Version 4.3.2 (2022/10/18)
-------------------------------------

Note: We withheld uploading tags 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 to PyPI due to a
version handling error and a necessary documentation update.

`dnspython <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dnspython>`_ is now a required
dependency. This change makes PyMongo easier to install for use with "mongodb+srv://"
connection strings and `MongoDB Atlas <https://www.mongodb.com/cloud>`_.

PyMongo 4.3 brings a number of improvements including:

- Added support for decoding BSON datetimes outside of the range supported
  by Python's :class:`~datetime.datetime` builtin. See
  `handling out of range datetimes <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/dates-and-times/#handling-out-of-range-datetimes>`_ for examples, as well as
  :class:`bson.datetime_ms.DatetimeMS`,
  :class:`bson.codec_options.DatetimeConversion`, and
  :class:`bson.codec_options.CodecOptions`'s ``datetime_conversion``
  parameter for more details (`PYTHON-1824`_).
- PyMongo now resets its locks and other shared state in the child process
  after a :py:func:`os.fork` to reduce the frequency of deadlocks. Note that
  deadlocks are still possible because libraries that PyMongo depends like
  OpenSSL cannot be made fork() safe in multithreaded applications.
  (`PYTHON-2484`_). For more info see `multiple forks <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/mongoclient/#multiple-forks>`_.
- When used with MongoDB 6.0+, :class:`~pymongo.change_stream.ChangeStream` s
  now allow for new types of events (such as DDL and C2C replication events)
  to be recorded with the new parameter ``show_expanded_events``
  that can be passed to methods such as :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.watch`.
- PyMongo now internally caches AWS credentials that it fetches from AWS
  endpoints, to avoid rate limitations.  The cache is cleared when the
  credentials expire or an error is encountered.
- When using the ``MONGODB-AWS`` authentication mechanism with the
  ``aws`` extra, the behavior of credential fetching has changed with
  ``pymongo_auth_aws>=1.1.0``.  Please see `Authentication <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/#authentication-mechanisms>`_ for
  more information.

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a bug where  :class:`~pymongo.change_stream.ChangeStream`
  would allow an app to retry calling ``next()`` or ``try_next()`` even
  after non-resumable errors (`PYTHON-3389`_).
- Fixed a bug where the client could be unable to discover the new primary
  after a simultaneous replica set election and reconfig (`PYTHON-2970`_).

Changes in Version 4.2.0 (2022/07/20)
-------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.2 drops support for Python 3.6: Python 3.7+ is now required.

PyMongo 4.2 brings a number of improvements including:

- Support for MongoDB 6.0.
- Support for the Queryable Encryption beta with MongoDB 6.0. Note that backwards-breaking
  changes may be made before the final release.  See `automatic queryable client-side encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#queryable-encryption>`_ for example usage.
- Provisional (beta) support for :func:`pymongo.timeout` to apply a single timeout
  to an entire block of pymongo operations. See `timeout <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/csot/#limit-server-execution-time>`_ for examples.
- Added the ``timeoutMS`` URI and keyword argument to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`.
- Added the :attr:`pymongo.errors.PyMongoError.timeout` property which is ``True`` when
  the error was caused by a timeout.
- Added the ``check_exists`` argument to :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.create_collection`
  that when True (the default)  runs an additional ``listCollections`` command to verify that the
  collection does not exist already.
- Added the following key management APIs to :class:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption`:

  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.get_key`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.get_keys`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.delete_key`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.add_key_alt_name`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.get_key_by_alt_name`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.remove_key_alt_name`
  - :meth:`~pymongo.encryption.ClientEncryption.rewrap_many_data_key`
  - :class:`~pymongo.encryption.RewrapManyDataKeyResult`

- Support for the ``crypt_shared`` library to replace ``mongocryptd`` using the new
  ``crypt_shared_lib_path`` and ``crypt_shared_lib_required`` arguments to
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`.

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a bug where :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.estimated_document_count`
  would fail with a "CommandNotSupportedOnView" error on views (`PYTHON-2885`_).
- Fixed a bug where invalid UTF-8 strings could be passed as patterns for :class:`~bson.regex.Regex`
  objects. :func:`bson.encode` now correctly raises :class:`bson.errors.InvalidStringData` (`PYTHON-3048`_).
- Fixed a bug that caused ``AutoReconnect("connection pool paused")`` errors in the child
  process after fork (`PYTHON-3257`_).
- Fixed a bug where  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.distinct` would fail in a transaction with
  ``directConnection=True`` (`PYTHON-3333`_).
- GridFS no longer uploads an incomplete files collection document after encountering an
  error in the middle of an upload fork. This results in fewer
  :class:`~gridfs.errors.CorruptGridFile` errors (`PYTHON-1552`_).
- Renamed PyMongo's internal C extension methods to avoid crashing due to name conflicts
  with mpi4py and other shared libraries (`PYTHON-2110`_).
- Fixed tight CPU loop for network I/O when using PyOpenSSL (`PYTHON-3187`_).

Unavoidable breaking changes
............................

- pymongocrypt 1.3.0 or later is now required for client side field level
  encryption support.
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.estimated_document_count` now always uses
  the `count`_ command. Due to an oversight in versions 5.0.0-5.0.8 of MongoDB,
  the count command was not included in V1 of the `Stable API <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/stable-api/#stable-api>`_.
  Users of the Stable API with estimated_document_count are recommended to upgrade
  their server version to 5.0.9+ or set :attr:`pymongo.server_api.ServerApi.strict`
  to ``False`` to avoid encountering errors (`PYTHON-3167`_).
- Removed generic typing from :class:`~pymongo.client_session.ClientSession` to improve
  support for Pyright (`PYTHON-3283`_).
- Added ``__all__`` to the bson, pymongo, and gridfs packages. This could be a breaking
  change for apps that relied on ``from bson import *`` to import APIs not present in
  ``__all__`` (`PYTHON-3311`_).

-------------------------------------

Version 4.1.1 fixes a number of bugs:

- Fixed a memory leak bug when calling :func:`~bson.decode_all` without a
  ``codec_options`` argument (`PYTHON-3222`_).
- Fixed a bug where :func:`~bson.decode_all` did not accept ``codec_options``
  as a keyword argument (`PYTHON-3222`_).
- Fixed an oversight where type markers (py.typed files) were not included
  in our release distributions (`PYTHON-3214`_).

-----------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.1 drops support for Python 3.6.0 and 3.6.1, Python 3.6.2+ is now required.

PyMongo 4.1 brings a number of improvements including:

- Type Hinting support (formerly provided by `pymongo-stubs`_).  See `Type Hints <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/run-command/#type-hints>`_ for more information.
- Added support for the ``comment`` parameter to all helpers. For example see

  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`,
  and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write`.
  ``let`` is a map of parameter names and values.
  Parameters can then be accessed as variables in an aggregate expression
  context.
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` now supports
  $merge and $out executing on secondaries on MongoDB >=5.0.
  aggregate() now always obeys the collection's :attr:`read_preference` on
  MongoDB >= 5.0.
- :meth:`gridfs.grid_file.GridOut.seek` now returns the new position in the file, to
  conform to the behavior of :meth:`io.IOBase.seek`.
- Improved reuse of implicit sessions (`PYTHON-2956`_).

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed bug that would cause SDAM heartbeat timeouts and connection churn on
  AWS Lambda and other FaaS environments (`PYTHON-3186`_).
- Fixed bug where :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`,
  :class:`~pymongo.database.Database`, and :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection`
  mistakenly implemented :class:`typing.Iterable` (`PYTHON-3084`_).

-----------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.0 drops support for Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5.

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.0 drops support for MongoDB 2.6, 3.0, 3.2, and 3.4.

.. warning:: PyMongo 4.0 changes the default value of the ``directConnection`` URI option and
  keyword argument to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`
  to ``False`` instead of ``None``, allowing for the automatic
  discovery of replica sets. This means that if you
  want a direct connection to a single server you must pass
  ``directConnection=True`` as a URI option or keyword argument.
  For more details, see the relevant section of the PyMongo 4.x migration
  guide: :ref:`pymongo4-migration-direct-connection`.

PyMongo 4.0 brings a number of improvements as well as some backward breaking
changes. For example, all APIs deprecated in PyMongo 3.X have been removed.
Be sure to read the changes listed below and the :doc:`migrate-to-pymongo4`
before upgrading from PyMongo 3.x.

Breaking Changes in 4.0
.......................

- Removed support for Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5. Python 3.6.2+ is now required.

  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` has been changed from
  :data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.PYTHON_LEGACY` to
  :data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.UNSPECIFIED`. Attempting to encode a
  :class:`uuid.UUID` instance to BSON or JSON now produces an error by default.
  See `UUID representations <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/uuid/#universally-unique-ids--uuids->`_ for details.

  :class:`pymongo.bulk.BulkOperationBuilder`. Use
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write` instead.
- Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.group`.
- Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` and
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.inline_map_reduce`.
- Removed the ``useCursor`` option for

- Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close_cursor`. Use
  :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.close` instead.
- Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.kill_cursors`.
- Removed :class:`pymongo.cursor_manager.CursorManager` and

- Removed :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count`.
- Removed :mod:`pymongo.thread_util`.
- Removed :class:`~pymongo.mongo_replica_set_client.MongoReplicaSetClient`.
- Removed :class:`~pymongo.ismaster.IsMaster`.
  Use :class:`~pymongo.hello.Hello` instead.

  :class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.ObjectIdInjector`,
  :class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.ObjectIdShuffler`,
  :class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.AutoReference`,
  :class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.NamespaceInjector`,
  :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.add_son_manipulator`,
  :attr:`pymongo.database.Database.outgoing_copying_manipulators`,
  :attr:`pymongo.database.Database.outgoing_manipulators`,
  :attr:`pymongo.database.Database.incoming_copying_manipulators`, and
  :attr:`pymongo.database.Database.incoming_manipulators`.
- Removed the ``manipulate`` and ``modifiers`` parameters from
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_raw_batches`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor`.
- Removed :meth:`pymongo.message.delete`, :meth:`pymongo.message.get_more`,
  :meth:`pymongo.message.insert`, :meth:`pymongo.message.kill_cursors`,
  :meth:`pymongo.message.query`, and :meth:`pymongo.message.update`.
- Removed :exc:`pymongo.errors.NotMasterError`.
  Use :exc:`pymongo.errors.NotPrimaryError` instead.
- Removed :exc:`pymongo.errors.CertificateError`.
- Removed :attr:`pymongo.GEOHAYSTACK`.
- Removed :class:`bson.binary.UUIDLegacy`.
- Removed :const:`bson.json_util.STRICT_JSON_OPTIONS`. Use
  :const:`~bson.json_util.RELAXED_JSON_OPTIONS` or
  :const:`~bson.json_util.CANONICAL_JSON_OPTIONS` instead.
- Changed the default JSON encoding representation from legacy to relaxed.
  The json_mode parameter for :const:`bson.json_util.dumps` now defaults to
  :const:`~bson.json_util.RELAXED_JSON_OPTIONS`.
- Changed the BSON and JSON decoding behavior of :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`
  to match the behavior outlined in the `DBRef specification`_ version 1.0.
  Specifically, PyMongo now only decodes a subdocument into a
  :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef` if and only if, it contains both ``$ref`` and
  ``$id`` fields and the ``$ref``, ``$id``, and ``$db`` fields are of the
  correct type. Otherwise the document is returned as normal. Previously, any
  subdocument containing a ``$ref`` field would be decoded as a
  :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`.
- The "tls" install extra is no longer necessary or supported and will be
  ignored by pip.
- The ``tz_aware`` argument to :class:`~bson.json_util.JSONOptions`
  now defaults to ``False`` instead of ``True``. :meth:`bson.json_util.loads` now
  decodes datetime as naive by default. See :ref:`tz_aware_default_change` for more info.
- ``directConnection`` URI option and keyword argument to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`
  defaults to ``False`` instead of ``None``, allowing for the automatic
  discovery of replica sets. This means that if you
  want a direct connection to a single server you must pass
  ``directConnection=True`` as a URI option or keyword argument.
- The ``hint`` option is now required when using ``min`` or ``max`` queries
  with :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`.
- ``name`` is now a required argument for the :class:`pymongo.driver_info.DriverInfo` class.
- When providing a "mongodb+srv://" URI to
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` constructor you can now use the
  ``srvServiceName`` URI option to specify your own SRV service name.
- :meth:`~bson.son.SON.items` now returns a ``dict_items`` object rather
  than a list.
- Removed :meth:`bson.son.SON.iteritems`.
- :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` and :class:`~pymongo.database.Database`
  now raises an error upon evaluating as a Boolean, please use the
  syntax ``if collection is not None:`` or ``if database is not None:`` as
  opposed to
  the previous syntax which was simply ``if collection:`` or ``if database:``.
  You must now explicitly compare with None.
- :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` cannot execute any operations
  after being closed. The previous behavior would simply reconnect. However,
  now you must create a new instance.
- Classes :class:`~bson.int64.Int64`, :class:`~bson.min_key.MinKey`,
  :class:`~bson.max_key.MaxKey`, :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp`,
  :class:`~bson.regex.Regex`, and :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef` all implement
  ``__slots__`` now. This means that their attributes are fixed, and new
  attributes cannot be added to them at runtime.
- Empty projections (eg {} or []) for
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`
  are passed to the server as-is rather than the previous behavior which
  substituted in a projection of ``{"_id": 1}``. This means that an empty
  projection will now return the entire document, not just the ``"_id"`` field.
- :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` now raises a
  :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError` when more than one URI is passed
  into the ``hosts`` argument.
- :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`` now raises an
  :exc:`~pymongo.errors.InvalidURI` exception
  when it encounters unescaped percent signs in username and password when
  parsing MongoDB URIs.
- Comparing two :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` instances now
  uses a set of immutable properties rather than
  :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.address` which can change.
- Removed the ``disable_md5`` parameter for :class:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket` and
  :class:`~gridfs.GridFS`. See :ref:`removed-gridfs-checksum` for details.
- pymongocrypt 1.2.0 or later is now required for client side field level
  encryption support.

Notable improvements
....................

- Enhanced connection pooling to create connections more efficiently and
  avoid connection storms.
- Added the ``maxConnecting`` URI and
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` keyword argument.
- :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` now accepts a URI and keyword
  argument ``srvMaxHosts`` that limits the number of mongos-like hosts a client
  will connect to. More specifically, when a mongodb+srv:// connection string
  resolves to more than ``srvMaxHosts`` number of hosts, the client will randomly
  choose a ``srvMaxHosts`` sized subset of hosts.
- Added :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.options` for read-only access
  to a client's configuration options.
- Support for the "kmip" KMS provider for client side field level encryption.
  See the docstring for :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`
  and :mod:`~pymongo.encryption`.

Changes in Version 3.13.0 (2022/11/01)
--------------------------------------

Version 3.13 provides an upgrade path to PyMongo 4.x. Most of the API changes
from PyMongo 4.0 have been backported in a backward compatible way, allowing
applications to be written against PyMongo >= 3.13, rather then PyMongo 3.x or
PyMongo 4.x. See the `PyMongo 4 Migration Guide`_ for detailed examples.

Notable improvements
....................
- Added :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.options` for read-only access
  to a client's configuration options.


Issues Resolved
...............

PyMongo 3.13 drops support for Python 3.4.

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a memory leak bug when calling :func:`~bson.decode_all` without a
  ``codec_options`` argument (`PYTHON-3222`_).
- Fixed a bug where :func:`~bson.decode_all` did not accept ``codec_options``
  as a keyword argument (`PYTHON-3222`_).

Deprecations
............
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.inline_map_reduce`.
  Use :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.event_listeners`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.event_listeners` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_pool_size`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.pool_options.max_pool_size` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_idle_time_ms`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.pool_options.max_idle_time_seconds` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.local_threshold_ms`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.local_threshold_ms` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.server_selection_timeout`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.server_selection_timeout` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.retry_writes`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.retry_writes` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.retry_reads`.
  Use :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.options.retry_reads` instead.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_bson_size`,
  :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_message_size`, and
  :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_write_batch_size`. These helpers
  were incorrect when in ``loadBalanced=true mode`` and ambiguous in clusters
  with mixed versions. Use the `hello command`_ to get the authoritative
  value from the remote server instead. Code like this::

    max_bson_size = client.max_bson_size
    max_message_size = client.max_message_size
    max_write_batch_size = client.max_write_batch_size

can be changed to this::

    doc = client.admin.command('hello')
    max_bson_size = doc['maxBsonObjectSize']
    max_message_size = doc['maxMessageSizeBytes']
    max_write_batch_size = doc['maxWriteBatchSize']

Changes in Version 3.12.1 (2021/10/19)
--------------------------------------

Issues Resolved
...............

Version 3.12.1 fixes a number of bugs:

- Fixed a bug that caused a multi-document transaction to fail when the first
  operation was large bulk write (>48MB) that required splitting a batched
  write command (`PYTHON-2915`_).
- Fixed a bug that caused the ``tlsDisableOCSPEndpointCheck`` URI option to
  be applied incorrectly (`PYTHON-2866`_).

Changes in Version 3.12.0 (2021/07/13)
--------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo 3.12.0 deprecates support for Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
   These Python versions will not be supported by PyMongo 4.

.. warning:: PyMongo now allows insertion of documents with keys that include
   dots ('.') or start with dollar signs ('$').

- pymongocrypt 1.1.0 or later is now required for client side field level
  encryption support.
- Iterating over :class:`gridfs.grid_file.GridOut` now moves through
  the file line by line instead of chunk by chunk, and does not
  restart at the top for subsequent iterations on the same object.
  Call ``seek(0)`` to reset the iterator.

Notable improvements
....................

- Added support for MongoDB 5.0.
- Support for MongoDB Stable API, see :class:`~pymongo.server_api.ServerApi`.
- Support for snapshot reads on secondaries (see `snapshot reads <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/read-concern-snapshot/#read-concern--snapshot->`_).
- Support for Azure and GCP KMS providers for client side field level
  encryption. See the docstring for :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`,
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`,
  and :mod:`~pymongo.encryption`.
- Support AWS authentication with temporary credentials when connecting to KMS
  in client side field level encryption.
- Support for connecting to load balanced MongoDB clusters via the new
  ``loadBalanced`` URI option.
- Support for creating timeseries collections via the ``timeseries`` and
  ``expireAfterSeconds`` arguments to
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.create_collection`.
- Added :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.topology_description`.
- Added hash support to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`,
  :class:`~pymongo.database.Database` and
  :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` (`PYTHON-2466`_).
- Improved the error message returned by
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_many` when supplied with an
  argument of incorrect type (`PYTHON-1690`_).
- Added session and read concern support to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_raw_batches`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate_raw_batches`.

Bug fixes
.........

- Fixed a bug that could cause the driver to deadlock during automatic
  client side field level encryption (`PYTHON-2472`_).
- Fixed a potential deadlock when garbage collecting an unclosed exhaust
  :class:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor`.
- Fixed an bug where using gevent.Timeout to timeout an operation could
  lead to a deadlock.
- Fixed the following bug with Atlas Data Lake. When closing cursors,
  pymongo now sends killCursors with the namespace returned the cursor's
  initial command response.
- Fixed a bug in :class:`~pymongo.cursor.RawBatchCursor` that caused it to
  return an empty bytestring when the cursor contained no results. It now
  raises :exc:`StopIteration` instead.

Deprecations
............

- Deprecated support for Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5.
- Deprecated support for database profiler helpers
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.profiling_level`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.set_profiling_level`,
  and :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.profiling_info`. Instead, users
  should run the `profile command`_ with the
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` helper directly.
- Deprecated :exc:`~pymongo.errors.NotMasterError`. Users should
  use :exc:`~pymongo.errors.NotPrimaryError` instead.
- Deprecated :class:`~pymongo.ismaster.IsMaster` and :mod:`~pymongo.ismaster`
  which will be removed in PyMongo 4.0 and are replaced by
  :class:`~pymongo.hello.Hello` and :mod:`~pymongo.hello` which provide the
  same API.
- Deprecated the :mod:`pymongo.messeage` module.
- Deprecated the ``ssl_keyfile`` and ``ssl_certfile`` URI options in favor
  of ``tlsCertificateKeyFile`` (see `TLS <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/tls/#configure-transport-layer-security--tls->`_).

Changes in Version 3.11.2 (2020/12/02)
--------------------------------------

Issues Resolved
...............

Version 3.11.2 includes a number of bugfixes. Highlights include:

- Fixed a memory leak caused by failing SDAM monitor checks on Python 3 (`PYTHON-2433`_).
- Fixed a regression that changed the string representation of
  :exc:`~pymongo.errors.BulkWriteError` (`PYTHON-2438`_).
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to use
  :meth:`bson.codec_options.CodecOptions.with_options` and
  :meth:`~bson.json_util.JSONOptions.with_options` on some early versions of
  Python 3.4 and Python 3.5 due to a bug in the standard library implementation
  of :meth:`collections.namedtuple._asdict` (`PYTHON-2440`_).
- Fixed a bug that resulted in a :exc:`TypeError` exception when a PyOpenSSL
  socket was configured with a timeout of ``None`` (`PYTHON-2443`_).

Changes in Version 3.11.1 (2020/11/17)
--------------------------------------

Version 3.11.1 adds support for Python 3.9 and includes a number of bugfixes.
Highlights include:

- Support for Python 3.9.
- Initial support for Azure and GCP KMS providers for client side field level
  encryption is in beta. See the docstring for
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`,
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`,
  and :mod:`~pymongo.encryption`. **Note: Backwards-breaking changes may be
  made before the final release.**
- Fixed a bug where the :class:`bson.json_util.JSONOptions` API did not match
  the :class:`bson.codec_options.CodecOptions` API due to the absence of
  a :meth:`bson.json_util.JSONOptions.with_options` method. This method has now
  been added.
- Fixed a bug which made it impossible to serialize
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.BulkWriteError` instances using :mod:`pickle`.
- Fixed a bug wherein PyMongo did not always discard an implicit session after
  encountering a network error.
- Fixed a bug where connections created in the background were not
  authenticated.
- Fixed a memory leak in the :mod:`bson` module when using a
  :class:`~bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry`.

Changes in Version 3.11.0 (2020/07/30)
--------------------------------------

Version 3.11 adds support for MongoDB 4.4 and includes a number of bug fixes.
Highlights include:

- Support for `OCSP <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/tls/#ocsp>`_ (Online Certificate Status Protocol).
- Support for `PyOpenSSL <https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenSSL/>`_ as an
  alternative TLS implementation. PyOpenSSL is required for `OCSP <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/tls/#ocsp>`_
  support. It will also be installed when using the "tls" extra if the
  version of Python in use is older than 2.7.9.
- Support for the `MONGODB-AWS <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/aws-iam/#aws-identity-and-access-management>`_ authentication mechanism.
- Support for the ``directConnection`` URI option and kwarg to
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`.
- Support for speculative authentication attempts in connection handshakes
  which reduces the number of network roundtrips needed to authenticate new
  connections on MongoDB 4.4+.
- Support for creating collections in multi-document transactions with
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.create_collection` on MongoDB 4.4+.
- Added index hinting support to the
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.replace_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_replace`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.delete_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.delete_many`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_delete` commands.
- Added index hinting support to the
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.ReplaceOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteOne`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteMany` bulk operations.
- Added support for :data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.UNSPECIFIED` and
  ``MongoClient(uuidRepresentation='unspecified')`` which will become the
  default UUID representation starting in PyMongo 4.0. See
  `UUID representations <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/uuid/#universally-unique-ids--uuids->`_ for details.
- New methods :meth:`bson.binary.Binary.from_uuid` and
  :meth:`bson.binary.Binary.as_uuid`.
- Added the ``background`` parameter to
  :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.validate_collection`. For a description
  of this parameter see the MongoDB documentation for the `validate command`_.
- Added the ``allow_disk_use`` parameters to
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.find`.
- Added the ``hedge`` parameter to
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.PrimaryPreferred`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.Secondary`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.SecondaryPreferred`,
  :class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.Nearest` to support disabling
  (or explicitly enabling) hedged reads in MongoDB 4.4+.
- Fixed a bug in change streams that could cause PyMongo to miss some change
  documents when resuming a stream that was started without a resume token and
  whose first batch did not contain any change documents.
- Fixed an bug where using gevent.Timeout to timeout an operation could
  lead to a deadlock.

Deprecations:

- Deprecated the ``oplog_replay`` parameter to
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.find`. Starting in MongoDB 4.4, the
  server optimizes queries against the oplog collection without requiring
  the user to set this flag.
- Deprecated :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.reindex`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` to run the ``reIndex`` command
  instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.fsync`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` to run the ``fsync`` command
  instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.unlock`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` to run the ``fsyncUnlock`` command
  instead. See the documentation for more information.
- Deprecated :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.is_locked`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` to run the ``currentOp`` command
  instead. See the documentation for more information.
- Deprecated :class:`bson.binary.UUIDLegacy`. Use
  :meth:`bson.binary.Binary.from_uuid` instead.

Unavoidable breaking changes:

- :class:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket` and :class:`~gridfs.GridFS` do not support
  multi-document transactions. Running a GridFS operation in a transaction
  now always raises the following error:
  ``InvalidOperation: GridFS does not support multi-document transactions``

Changes in Version 3.10.1 (2020/01/07)
--------------------------------------

Version 3.10.1 fixes the following issues discovered since the release of
3.10.0:

- Fix a TypeError logged to stderr that could be triggered during server
  maintenance or during :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close`.
- Avoid creating new connections during

Changes in Version 3.10.0 (2019/12/10)
--------------------------------------

Version 3.10 includes a number of improvements and bug fixes. Highlights
include:

- Support for Client-Side Field Level Encryption with MongoDB 4.2. See
  `Client-Side Field Level Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/in-use-encryption/#client-side-field-level-encryption>`_ for examples.
- Support for Python 3.8.
- Added :attr:`pymongo.client_session.ClientSession.in_transaction`.
- Do not hold the Topology lock while creating connections in a MongoClient's
  background thread. This change fixes a bug where application operations would
  block while the background thread ensures that all server pools have
  minPoolSize connections.
- Fix a UnicodeDecodeError bug when coercing a PyMongoError with a non-ascii
  error message to unicode on Python 2.
- Fix an edge case bug where PyMongo could exceed the server's
  maxMessageSizeBytes when generating a compressed bulk write command.

Changes in Version 3.9.0 (2019/08/13)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.9 adds support for MongoDB 4.2. Highlights include:

- Support for MongoDB 4.2 sharded transactions. Sharded transactions have
  the same API as replica set transactions. See `Transactions <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/transactions/#transactions>`_.
- New method :meth:`pymongo.client_session.ClientSession.with_transaction` to
  support conveniently running a transaction in a session with automatic
  retries and at-most-once semantics.
- Initial support for client side field level encryption. See the docstring for
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`,
  :class:`~pymongo.encryption_options.AutoEncryptionOpts`,
  and :mod:`~pymongo.encryption` for details. **Note: Support for client side
  encryption is in beta. Backwards-breaking changes may be made before the
  final release.**
- Added the ``max_commit_time_ms`` parameter to
  :meth:`~pymongo.client_session.ClientSession.start_transaction`.
- Implement the `URI options specification`_ in the
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` constructor. Consequently, there are
  a number of changes in connection options:

    - The ``tlsInsecure`` option has been added.
    - The ``tls`` option has been added. The older ``ssl`` option has been retained
      as an alias to the new ``tls`` option.
    - ``wTimeout`` has been deprecated in favor of ``wTimeoutMS``.
    - ``wTimeoutMS`` now overrides ``wTimeout`` if the user provides both.
    - ``j`` has been deprecated in favor of ``journal``.
    - ``journal`` now overrides ``j`` if the user provides both.
    - ``ssl_cert_reqs`` has been deprecated in favor of ``tlsAllowInvalidCertificates``.
      Instead of ``ssl.CERT_NONE``, ``ssl.CERT_OPTIONAL`` and ``ssl.CERT_REQUIRED``, the
      new option expects a boolean value - ``True`` is equivalent to ``ssl.CERT_NONE``,
      while ``False`` is equivalent to ``ssl.CERT_REQUIRED``.
    - ``ssl_match_hostname`` has been deprecated in favor of ``tlsAllowInvalidHostnames``.
    - ``ssl_ca_certs`` has been deprecated in favor of ``tlsCAFile``.
    - ``ssl_certfile`` has been deprecated in favor of ``tlsCertificateKeyFile``.
    - ``ssl_pem_passphrase`` has been deprecated in favor of ``tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword``.
    - ``waitQueueMultiple`` has been deprecated without replacement. This option
      was a poor solution for putting an upper bound on queuing since it didn't
      affect queuing in other parts of the driver.
- The ``retryWrites`` URI option now defaults to ``True``. Supported write
  operations that fail with a retryable error will automatically be retried one
  time, with at-most-once semantics.
- Support for retryable reads and the ``retryReads`` URI option which is
  enabled by default. See the :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`
  documentation for details. Now that supported operations are retried
  automatically and transparently, users should consider adjusting any custom
  retry logic to prevent an application from inadvertently retrying for too
  long.
- Support zstandard for wire protocol compression.
- Support for periodically polling DNS SRV records to update the mongos proxy
  list without having to change client configuration.
- New method :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.aggregate` to support running
  database level aggregations.
- Support for publishing Connection Monitoring and Pooling events via the new
  :class:`~pymongo.monitoring.ConnectionPoolListener` class. See
  :mod:`~pymongo.monitoring` for an example.
- :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` and
  :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.aggregate` now support the ``$merge`` pipeline
  stage and use read preference
  :attr:`~pymongo.read_preferences.ReadPreference.PRIMARY` if the ``$out`` or
  ``$merge`` pipeline stages are used.
- Support for specifying a pipeline or document in
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`.
- New BSON utility functions :func:`~bson.encode` and :func:`~bson.decode`
- :class:`~bson.binary.Binary` now supports any bytes-like type that implements
  the buffer protocol.
- Resume tokens can now be accessed from a ``ChangeStream`` cursor using the
  :attr:`~pymongo.change_stream.ChangeStream.resume_token` attribute.
- Connections now survive primary step-down when using MongoDB 4.2+.
  Applications should expect less socket connection turnover during
  replica set elections.

Unavoidable breaking changes:

- Applications that use MongoDB with the MMAPv1 storage engine must now
  explicitly disable retryable writes via the connection string
  (e.g. ``MongoClient("mongodb://my.mongodb.cluster/db?retryWrites=false")``) or
  the :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` constructor's keyword argument
  (e.g. ``MongoClient("mongodb://my.mongodb.cluster/db", retryWrites=False)``)
  to avoid running into :class:`~pymongo.errors.OperationFailure` exceptions
  during write operations. The MMAPv1 storage engine is deprecated and does
  not support retryable writes which are now turned on by default.
- In order to ensure that the ``connectTimeoutMS`` URI option is honored when
  connecting to clusters with a ``mongodb+srv://`` connection string, the
  minimum required version of the optional ``dnspython`` dependency has been
  bumped to 1.16.0. This is a breaking change for applications that use
  PyMongo's SRV support with a version of ``dnspython`` older than 1.16.0.

Changes in Version 3.8.0 (2019/04/22)
-------------------------------------

.. warning:: PyMongo no longer supports Python 2.6. RHEL 6 users should install
  Python 2.7 or newer from Red Hat Software Collections.
  CentOS 6 users should install Python 2.7 or newer from `SCL
  <https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL>`_

.. warning:: PyMongo no longer supports PyPy3 versions older than 3.5. Users
  must upgrade to PyPy3.5+.

- :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId` now implements the `ObjectID specification
  version 0.2 <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/bson-objectid/objectid.md>`_.
- For better performance and to better follow the GridFS spec,
  :class:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridOut` now uses a single cursor to read all the
  chunks in the file. Previously, each chunk in the file was queried
  individually using :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`.
- :meth:`gridfs.grid_file.GridOut.read` now only checks for extra chunks after
  reading the entire file. Previously, this method would check for extra
  chunks on every call.
- :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.current_op` now always uses the
  ``Database``'s  :attr:`~pymongo.database.Database.codec_options`
  when decoding the command response. Previously the codec_options
  was only used when the MongoDB server version was <= 3.0.
- Undeprecated :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.get_default_database`
  and added the ``default`` parameter.
- TLS Renegotiation is now disabled when possible.
- Custom types can now be directly encoded to, and decoded from MongoDB using
  the :class:`~bson.codec_options.TypeCodec` and
  :class:`~bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry` APIs. For more information, see
  `Custom Types <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/custom-types/type-codecs/#encode-data-with-type-codecs>`_.
- Attempting a multi-document transaction on a sharded cluster now raises a
  :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError`.
- :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.distinct` and
  :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count` now send the Cursor's
  :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.comment` as the "comment" top-level
  command option instead of "$comment". Also, note that "comment" must be a
  string.
- Add the ``filter`` parameter to
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collection_names`.
- Changes can now be requested from a ``ChangeStream`` cursor without blocking
  indefinitely using the new
  :meth:`pymongo.change_stream.ChangeStream.try_next` method.
- Fixed a reference leak bug when splitting a batched write command based on
  maxWriteBatchSize or the max message size.
- Deprecated running find queries that set :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.min`
  and/or :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.max` but do not also set a
  :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.hint` of which index to use. The find command
  is expected to require a :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.hint` when using
  min/max starting in MongoDB 4.2.
- Documented support for the uuidRepresentation URI option, which has been
  supported since PyMongo 2.7. Valid values are ``pythonLegacy`` (the default),
  ``javaLegacy``, ``csharpLegacy`` and ``standard``. New applications should consider
  setting this to ``standard`` for cross language compatibility.
- :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument` now validates that the ``bson_bytes``
  passed in represent a single bson document. Earlier versions would mistakenly
  accept multiple bson documents.
- Iterating over a :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument` now maintains the
  same field order of the underlying raw BSON document.
- Applications can now register a custom server selector. For more information
  see `Customize Server Selection <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/server-selection/#customize-server-selection>`_.
- The connection pool now implements a LIFO policy.

Unavoidable breaking changes:

- In order to follow the ObjectID Spec version 0.2, an ObjectId's 3-byte
  machine identifier and 2-byte process id have been replaced with a single
  5-byte random value generated per process. This is a breaking change for any
  application that attempts to interpret those bytes.

Changes in Version 3.7.2 (2018/10/10)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.7.2 fixes a few issues discovered since the release of 3.7.1.

- Fixed a bug in retryable writes where a previous command's "txnNumber"
  field could be sent leading to incorrect results.
- Fixed a memory leak of a few bytes on some insert, update, or delete
  commands when running against MongoDB 3.6+.
- Fixed a bug that caused :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.ensure_index`
  to only cache a single index per database.
- Updated the documentation examples to use
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` instead of
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.count` and
  :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count`.

Changes in Version 3.7.1 (2018/07/16)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.7.1 fixes a few issues discovered since the release of 3.7.0.

- Calling :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.authenticate` more than once
  with the same credentials results in OperationFailure.
- Authentication fails when SCRAM-SHA-1 is used to authenticate users with
  only MONGODB-CR credentials.
- A millisecond rounding problem when decoding datetimes in the pure Python
  BSON decoder on 32 bit systems and AWS lambda.

Changes in Version 3.7.0 (2018/06/26)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.7 adds support for MongoDB 4.0. Highlights include:

- Support for single replica set multi-document ACID transactions.
  See `transactions <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/transactions/#transactions>`_.
- Support for wire protocol compression via the new ``compressors`` URI and keyword argument to
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`. See `network compression <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/network-compression/#compress-network-traffic>`_ for details.
- Support for Python 3.7.
- New count methods, :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.estimated_document_count`.
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` is always
  accurate when used with MongoDB 3.6+, or when used with older standalone
  or replica set deployments. With older sharded clusters is it always
  accurate when used with Primary read preference. It can also be used in
  a transaction, unlike the now deprecated
  :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.count` and
  :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count` methods.
- Support for watching changes on all collections in a database using the
  new :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.watch` method.
- Support for watching changes on all collections in all databases using the
  new :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.watch` method.
- Support for watching changes starting at a user provided timestamp using the
  new ``start_at_operation_time`` parameter for the ``watch()`` helpers.
- Better support for using PyMongo in a FIPS 140-2 environment. Specifically,
  the following features and changes allow PyMongo to function when MD5 support
  is disabled in OpenSSL by the FIPS Object Module:

  - Support for the `SCRAM-SHA-256 <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/scram/#scram>`_
    authentication mechanism. The `GSSAPI <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/kerberos/#kerberos--gssapi->`_,
    `PLAIN <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/ldap/#overview>`_, and `MONGODB-X509 <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/x509/#x.509>`_
    mechanisms can also be used to avoid issues with OpenSSL in FIPS
    environments.
  - MD5 checksums are now optional in GridFS. See the ``disable_md5`` option
    of :class:`~gridfs.GridFS` and :class:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket`.
  - :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId` machine bytes are now hashed using
    `FNV-1a
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler-Noll-Vo_hash_function>`_
    instead of MD5.

- The :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collection_names` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.collection_names` methods use
  the nameOnly option when supported by MongoDB.
- The :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.watch` method now returns an
  instance of the :class:`~pymongo.change_stream.CollectionChangeStream`
  class which is a subclass of :class:`~pymongo.change_stream.ChangeStream`.
- SCRAM client and server keys are cached for improved performance, following
  `RFC 5802 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802>`_.
- If not specified, the authSource for the `PLAIN <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/security/authentication/ldap/#overview>`_
  authentication mechanism defaults to $external.
- wtimeoutMS is once again supported as a URI option.
- When using unacknowledged write concern and connected to MongoDB server
  version 3.6 or greater, the ``bypass_document_validation`` option is now
  supported in the following write helpers:
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.replace_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many`.

Deprecations:

- Deprecated :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.count` and
  :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count`. These two methods use the ``count``
  command and `may or may not be accurate
  <https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/count/#behavior>`_,
  depending on the options used and connected MongoDB topology. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` instead.
- Deprecated the snapshot option of :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`. The option was
  deprecated in MongoDB 3.6 and removed in MongoDB 4.0.
- Deprecated the max_scan option of :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`
  and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`. The option was
  deprecated in MongoDB 4.0. Use ``maxTimeMS`` instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close_cursor`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.close` instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.database_names`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.list_database_names` instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.collection_names`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collection_names` instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.parallel_scan`. MongoDB 4.2
  will remove the parallelCollectionScan command.

Unavoidable breaking changes:

- Commands that fail with server error codes 10107, 13435, 13436, 11600,
  11602, 189, 91 (NotMaster, NotMasterNoSlaveOk, NotMasterOrSecondary,
  InterruptedAtShutdown, InterruptedDueToReplStateChange,
  PrimarySteppedDown, ShutdownInProgress respectively) now always raise
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.NotMasterError` instead of
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.OperationFailure`.
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.parallel_scan` no longer uses an
  implicit session. Explicit sessions are still supported.
- Unacknowledged writes (``w=0``) with an explicit ``session`` parameter now
  raise a client side error. Since PyMongo does not wait for a response for an
  unacknowledged write, two unacknowledged writes run serially by the client
  may be executed simultaneously on the server. However, the server requires a
  single session must not be used simultaneously by more than one operation.
  Therefore explicit sessions cannot support unacknowledged writes.
  Unacknowledged writes without a ``session`` parameter are still supported.

Changes in Version 3.6.1 (2018/03/01)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.6.1 fixes bugs reported since the release of 3.6.0:

- Fix regression in PyMongo 3.5.0 that causes idle sockets to be closed almost
  instantly when ``maxIdleTimeMS`` is set. Idle sockets are now closed after
  ``maxIdleTimeMS`` milliseconds.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_idle_time_ms` now returns
  milliseconds instead of seconds.
- Properly import and use the
  `monotonic <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/monotonic>`_
  library for monotonic time when it is installed.
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` now ignores the
  ``batchSize`` argument when running a pipeline with a ``$out`` stage.
- Always send handshake metadata for new connections.

Changes in Version 3.6.0 (2017/08/23)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.6 adds support for MongoDB 3.6, drops support for CPython 3.3 (PyPy3
is still supported), and drops support for MongoDB versions older than 2.6. If
connecting to a MongoDB 2.4 server or older, PyMongo now throws a
:exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError`.

Highlights include:

- Support for change streams. See the
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.watch` method for details.
- Support for array_filters in
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`, and
  :meth:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`.
- New Session API, see :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.start_session`.
- New methods :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_raw_batches` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate_raw_batches` for use with
  external libraries that can parse raw batches of BSON data.
- New methods :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.list_databases` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.list_database_names`.
- New methods :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collections` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collection_names`.
- Support for mongodb+srv:// URIs. See
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` for details.
- Index management helpers
  (:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_indexes`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_index`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_indexes`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.reindex`) now support maxTimeMS.
- Support for retryable writes and the ``retryWrites`` URI option.  See
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` for details.

Deprecations:

- The ``useCursor`` option for :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate`
  is deprecated. The option was only necessary when upgrading from MongoDB
  2.4 to MongoDB 2.6. MongoDB 2.4 is no longer supported.
- The :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.add_user` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.remove_user` methods are deprecated. See
  the method docstrings for alternatives.

Unavoidable breaking changes:

- Starting in MongoDB 3.6, the deprecated methods
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.authenticate` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.logout` now invalidate all cursors created
  prior. Instead of using these methods to change credentials, pass credentials
  for one user to the :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` at construction
  time, and either grant access to several databases to one user account, or use
  a distinct client object for each user.
- BSON binary subtype 4 is decoded using RFC-4122 byte order regardless
  of the UUID representation. This is a change in behavior for applications
  that use UUID representation :data:`bson.binary.JAVA_LEGACY` or
  :data:`bson.binary.CSHARP_LEGACY` to decode BSON binary subtype 4. Other
  UUID representations, :data:`bson.binary.PYTHON_LEGACY` (the default) and
  :data:`bson.binary.STANDARD`, and the decoding of BSON binary subtype 3
  are unchanged.

Changes in Version 3.5.1 (2017/08/23)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.5.1 fixes bugs reported since the release of 3.5.0:

- Work around socket.getsockopt issue with NetBSD.
- :meth:`pymongo.command_cursor.CommandCursor.close` now closes
  the cursor synchronously instead of deferring to a background
  thread.
- Fix documentation build warnings with Sphinx 1.6.x.

Changes in Version 3.5.0 (2017/08/08)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.5 implements a number of improvements and bug fixes:

Highlights include:

- Username and password can be passed to
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` as keyword arguments. Before, the
  only way to pass them was in the URI.
- Increased the performance of using :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument`.
- Increased the performance of
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.database_names` by using the
  ``nameOnly`` option for listDatabases when available.
- Increased the performance of
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write` by reducing the memory
  overhead of :class:`~pymongo.operations.InsertOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteOne`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteMany`.
- Added the ``collation`` option to :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.DeleteMany`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.ReplaceOne`,
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateOne`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.operations.UpdateMany`.
- Implemented the `MongoDB Extended JSON
  <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json/extended-json.md>`_
  specification.
- :class:`~bson.decimal128.Decimal128` now works when cdecimal is installed.
- PyMongo is now tested against a wider array of operating systems and CPU
  architectures (including s390x, ARM64, and POWER8).

Changes and Deprecations:

- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find` has new options ``return_key``,
  ``show_record_id``, ``snapshot``, ``hint``, ``max_time_ms``, ``max_scan``, ``min``, ``max``,
  and ``comment``. Deprecated the option ``modifiers``.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.group`. The group command
  was deprecated in MongoDB 3.4 and is expected to be removed in MongoDB 3.6.
  Applications should use :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate`
  with the ``$group`` pipeline stage instead.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.authenticate`. Authenticating
  multiple users conflicts with support for logical sessions in MongoDB 3.6.
  To authenticate as multiple users, create multiple instances of
  :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.eval`. The eval command
  was deprecated in MongoDB 3.0 and will be removed in a future server version.
- Deprecated :class:`~pymongo.database.SystemJS`.
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.get_default_database`.
  Applications should use
  :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.get_database` without the ```name```
  parameter instead.
- Deprecated the MongoClient option ``socketKeepAlive```. It now defaults to true
  and disabling it is not recommended, see `does TCP keepalive time affect
  MongoDB Deployments?
  <https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/faq/diagnostics/#does-tcp-keepalive-time-affect-mongodb-deployments->`_
- Deprecated :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.initialize_ordered_bulk_op`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.initialize_unordered_bulk_op`, and
  :class:`~pymongo.bulk.BulkOperationBuilder`. Use
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write` instead.
- Deprecated :const:`~bson.json_util.STRICT_JSON_OPTIONS`. Use
  :const:`~bson.json_util.RELAXED_JSON_OPTIONS` or
  :const:`~bson.json_util.CANONICAL_JSON_OPTIONS` instead.
- If a custom :class:`~bson.codec_options.CodecOptions` is passed to
  :class:`RawBSONDocument`, its ``document_class``` must be
  :class:`RawBSONDocument`.
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.list_indexes` no longer raises
  OperationFailure when the collection (or database) does not exist on
  MongoDB >= 3.0. Instead, it returns an empty
  :class:`~pymongo.command_cursor.CommandCursor` to make the behavior
  consistent across all MongoDB versions.
- In Python 3, :meth:`~bson.json_util.loads` now automatically decodes JSON
  $binary with a subtype of 0 into :class:`bytes` instead of
  :class:`~bson.binary.Binary`.
- :meth:`~bson.json_util.loads` now raises ``TypeError`` or ``ValueError``
  when parsing JSON type wrappers with values of the wrong type or any
  extra keys.
- :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.close` and
  :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close`
  now kill cursors synchronously instead of deferring to a background thread.
- :meth:`~pymongo.uri_parser.parse_uri` now returns the original value
  of the ``readPreference`` MongoDB URI option instead of the validated read
  preference mode.

Changes in Version 3.4.0 (2016/11/29)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.4 implements the new server features introduced in MongoDB 3.4
and a whole lot more:

Highlights include:

- Complete support for MongoDB 3.4:

  - Unicode aware string comparison using `Collation <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/configure/#collation>`_.
  - Support for the new :class:`~bson.decimal128.Decimal128` BSON type.
  - A new maxStalenessSeconds read preference option.
  - A username is no longer required for the MONGODB-X509 authentication
    mechanism when connected to MongoDB >= 3.4.
  - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.parallel_scan` supports maxTimeMS.
  - :attr:`~pymongo.write_concern.WriteConcern` is automatically
    applied by all helpers for commands that write to the database when
    connected to MongoDB 3.4+. This change affects the following helpers:

    - :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.drop_database`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.create_collection`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.drop_collection`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` (when using $out)
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_indexes`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_indexes`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_indexes`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop_index`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` (when output is not
      "inline")
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.reindex`
    - :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.rename`

- Improved support for logging server discovery and monitoring events. See
  :mod:`~pymongo.monitoring` for examples.
- Support for matching iPAddress subjectAltName values for TLS certificate
  verification.
- TLS compression is now explicitly disabled when possible.
- The Server Name Indication (SNI) TLS extension is used when possible.
- Finer control over JSON encoding/decoding with
  :class:`~bson.json_util.JSONOptions`.
- Allow :class:`~bson.code.Code` objects to have a scope of ``None``,
  signifying no scope. Also allow encoding Code objects with an empty scope
  (i.e. ``{}``).

.. warning:: Starting in PyMongo 3.4, :attr:`bson.code.Code.scope` may return
  ``None``, as the default scope is ``None`` instead of ``{}``.

.. note:: PyMongo 3.4+ attempts to create sockets non-inheritable when possible
  (i.e. it sets the close-on-exec flag on socket file descriptors). Support
  is limited to a subset of POSIX operating systems (not including Windows) and
  the flag usually cannot be set in a single atomic operation. CPython 3.4+
  implements `PEP 446`_, creating all file descriptors non-inheritable by
  default. Users that require this behavior are encouraged to upgrade to
  CPython 3.4+.

Since 3.4rc0, the max staleness option has been renamed from ``maxStalenessMS``
to ``maxStalenessSeconds``, its smallest value has changed from twice
``heartbeatFrequencyMS`` to 90 seconds, and its default value has changed from
``None`` or 0 to -1.

Changes in Version 3.3.0 (2016/07/12)
-------------------------------------

Version 3.3 adds the following major new features:

- C extensions support on big endian systems.
- Kerberos authentication support on Windows using `WinKerberos
  <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/winkerberos>`_.
- A new ``ssl_clrfile`` option to support certificate revocation lists.
- A new ``ssl_pem_passphrase`` option to support encrypted key files.
- Support for publishing server discovery and monitoring events. See
  :mod:`~pymongo.monitoring` for details.
- New connection pool options ``minPoolSize`` and ``maxIdleTimeMS``.
- New ``heartbeatFrequencyMS`` option controls the rate at which background
  monitoring threads re-check servers. Default is once every 10 seconds.

.. warning:: PyMongo 3.3 drops support for MongoDB versions older than 2.4.
  It also drops support for python 3.2 (pypy3 continues to be supported).

Changes in Version 3.2 (2015/12/07)
-----------------------------------

Version 3.2 implements the new server features introduced in MongoDB 3.2.

Highlights include:

- Full support for MongoDB 3.2 including:

  - Support for :class:`~pymongo.read_concern.ReadConcern`
  - :class:`~pymongo.write_concern.WriteConcern` is now applied to
    :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_replace`,
    :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`, and
    :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_delete`.
  - Support for the new ``bypassDocumentValidation`` option in write
    helpers.

- Support for reading and writing raw BSON with
  :class:`~bson.raw_bson.RawBSONDocument`

.. note:: Certain :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` properties now
  block until a connection is established or raise
  :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError` if no server is available.
  See :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` for details.

Changes in Version 3.1 (2015/11/02)
-----------------------------------

Version 3.1 implements a few new features and fixes bugs reported since the release
of 3.0.3.

Highlights include:

- Command monitoring support. See :mod:`~pymongo.monitoring` for details.
- Configurable error handling for :exc:`UnicodeDecodeError`. See the

Changes in Version 3.0 (2015/04/07)
-----------------------------------

PyMongo 3.0 is a partial rewrite of PyMongo bringing a large number of
improvements:

- A unified client class. MongoClient is the one and only client class for
  connecting to a standalone mongod, replica set, or sharded cluster. Migrating
  from a standalone, to a replica set, to a sharded cluster can be accomplished
  with only a simple URI change.
- MongoClient is much more responsive to configuration changes in your MongoDB
  deployment. All connected servers are monitored in a non-blocking manner.
  Slow to respond or down servers no longer block server discovery, reducing
  application startup time and time to respond to new or reconfigured
  servers and replica set failovers.
- A unified CRUD API. All official MongoDB drivers now implement a standard
  CRUD API allowing polyglot developers to move from language to language
  with ease.
- Single source support for Python 2.x and 3.x. PyMongo no longer relies on
  2to3 to support Python 3.
- A rewritten pure Python BSON implementation, improving performance
  with pypy and cpython deployments without support for C extensions.
- Better support for greenlet based async frameworks including eventlet.
- Immutable client, database, and collection classes, avoiding a host of thread
  safety issues in client applications.

PyMongo 3.0 brings a large number of API changes. Be sure to read the changes
listed below before upgrading from PyMongo 2.x.

.. warning:: PyMongo no longer supports Python 2.4, 2.5, or 3.1. If you
  must use PyMongo with these versions of Python the 2.x branch of PyMongo
  will be minimally supported for some time.

SONManipulator changes
......................

The :class:`~pymongo.son_manipulator.SONManipulator` API has limitations as a
technique for transforming your data. Instead, it is more flexible and
straightforward to transform outgoing documents in your own code before passing
them to PyMongo, and transform incoming documents after receiving them from
PyMongo.

Thus the :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.add_son_manipulator` method is
deprecated. PyMongo 3's new CRUD API does **not** apply SON manipulators to
documents passed to :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_one`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_many`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`, or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many`. SON manipulators are **not**
applied to documents returned by the new methods
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_delete`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_replace`, and
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`.

SSL/TLS changes
...............

When ``ssl`` is ``True`` the ``ssl_cert_reqs`` option now defaults to
:attr:`ssl.CERT_REQUIRED` if not provided. PyMongo will attempt to load OS
provided CA certificates to verify the server, raising
:exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError` if it cannot.

Gevent Support
..............

In previous versions, PyMongo supported Gevent in two modes: you could call
``gevent.monkey.patch_socket()`` and pass ``use_greenlets=True`` to
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`, or you could simply call
``gevent.monkey.patch_all()`` and omit the ``use_greenlets`` argument.

In PyMongo 3.0, the ``use_greenlets`` option is gone. To use PyMongo with
Gevent simply call ``gevent.monkey.patch_all()``.

For more information,
see `Gevent <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/integrations/#gevent>`_.

:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` changes
..................................................

:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` is now the one and only
client class for a standalone server, mongos, or replica set.
It includes the functionality that had been split into
``MongoReplicaSetClient``: it can connect to a replica set, discover all its
members, and monitor the set for stepdowns, elections, and reconfigs.
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` now also supports the full
:class:`~pymongo.read_preferences.ReadPreference` API.

The obsolete classes ``MasterSlaveConnection``, ``Connection``, and
``ReplicaSetConnection`` are removed.

The :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` constructor no
longer blocks while connecting to the server or servers, and it no
longer raises :class:`~pymongo.errors.ConnectionFailure` if they
are unavailable, nor :class:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError`
if the user's credentials are wrong. Instead, the constructor
returns immediately and launches the connection process on
background threads. The ``connect`` option is added to control whether
these threads are started immediately, or when the client is first used.

Therefore the ``alive`` method is removed since it no longer provides meaningful
information; even if the client is disconnected, it may discover a server in
time to fulfill the next operation.

In PyMongo 2.x, :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` accepted a list of
standalone MongoDB servers and used the first it could connect to::

    MongoClient(['host1.com:27017', 'host2.com:27017'])

A list of multiple standalones is no longer supported; if multiple servers
are listed they must be members of the same replica set, or mongoses in the
same sharded cluster.

The behavior for a list of mongoses is changed from "high availability" to
"load balancing". Before, the client connected to the lowest-latency mongos in
the list, and used it until a network error prompted it to re-evaluate all
mongoses' latencies and reconnect to one of them. In PyMongo 3, the client
monitors its network latency to all the mongoses continuously, and distributes
operations evenly among those with the lowest latency.
See `load balancing <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-targets/#replica-sets>`_ for more information.

The client methods ``start_request``, ``in_request``, and ``end_request``
are removed, and so is the ``auto_start_request`` option. Requests were
designed to make read-your-writes consistency more likely with the ``w=0``
write concern. Additionally, a thread in a request used the same member for
all secondary reads in a replica set. To ensure read-your-writes consistency
in PyMongo 3.0, do not override the default write concern with ``w=0``, and
do not override the default `read preference <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/crud/configure/#read-and-write-settings>`_ of
PRIMARY.

Support for the ``slaveOk`` (or ``slave_okay``), ``safe``, and
``network_timeout`` options has been removed. Use
:attr:`~pymongo.read_preferences.ReadPreference.SECONDARY_PREFERRED` instead of
slave_okay. Accept the default write concern, acknowledged writes, instead of
setting safe=True. Use socketTimeoutMS in place of network_timeout (note that
network_timeout was in seconds, where as socketTimeoutMS is milliseconds).

The ``max_pool_size`` option has been removed. It is replaced by the
``maxPoolSize`` MongoDB URI option. ``maxPoolSize`` is now a supported URI
option in PyMongo and can be passed as a keyword argument.

The ``copy_database`` method is removed, see `Copy and Clone Databases <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/database-tools/mongodump/mongodump-examples/#copy-and-clone-databases>`_ for alternatives.

The ``disconnect`` method is removed. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close` instead.

The ``get_document_class`` method is removed. Use
:attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.codec_options` instead.

The ``get_lasterror_options``, ``set_lasterror_options``, and
``unset_lasterror_options`` methods are removed. Write concern options
can be passed to :class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` as keyword
arguments or MongoDB URI options.

The :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.get_database` method is added for
getting a Database instance with its options configured differently than the
MongoClient's.

The following read-only attributes have been added:

- :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.codec_options`

The following attributes are now read-only:

- :attr:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.read_preference`

Cursor management changes
.........................

:class:`~pymongo.cursor_manager.CursorManager` and
:meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.set_cursor_manager` are no longer
deprecated. If you subclass :class:`~pymongo.cursor_manager.CursorManager`
your implementation of :meth:`~pymongo.cursor_manager.CursorManager.close`
must now take a second parameter, ``address``. The ``BatchCursorManager`` class
is removed.

The second parameter to :meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close_cursor`
is renamed from ``_conn_id`` to ``address``.
:meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.kill_cursors` now accepts an ``address``
parameter.

The following methods have been changed:

- :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command`. Support for ``as_class``,
  ``uuid_subtype``, ``tag_sets``, and ``secondary_acceptable_latency_ms`` have been
  removed. You can instead pass an instance of
  :class:`~bson.codec_options.CodecOptions` as ``codec_options`` and an instance
  of a read preference class from :mod:`~pymongo.read_preferences` as
  ``read_preference``. The ``fields`` and ``compile_re`` options are also removed.
  The ``fields`` options was undocumented and never really worked. Regular
  expressions are always decoded to :class:`~bson.regex.Regex`.

The following methods have been deprecated:

- :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.add_son_manipulator`

The following methods have been removed:

The ``get_lasterror_options``, ``set_lasterror_options``, and
``unset_lasterror_options`` methods have been removed. Use

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */
```, and ``timeout`` parameters
              for :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` have been completely
              removed in this release. They were deprecated in pymongo-1.4 and
              have had no effect since then. Please make sure that your code
              doesn't currently pass these parameters when creating a
              Connection instance.

Changes in Version 1.10.1 (2011/04/07)
--------------------------------------

Version 1.10.1 is primarily a bugfix release. It fixes a regression in
version 1.10 that broke pickling of ObjectIds. A number of other bugs
have been fixed as well.

There are two behavior changes to be aware of:

- If a read slave raises :class:`~pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect`
  :class:`~pymongo.master_slave_connection.MasterSlaveConnection` will now
  retry the query on each slave until it is successful or all slaves have
  raised :class:`~pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect`. Any other exception will
  immediately be raised. The order that the slaves are tried is random.
  Previously the read would be sent to one randomly chosen slave and
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect` was immediately raised in case
  of a connection failure.
- A Python ``long`` is now always BSON encoded as an int64. Previously the
  encoding was based only on the value of the field and a ``long`` with a
  value less than ``2147483648`` or greater than ``-2147483649`` would always
  be BSON encoded as an int32.

Changes in Version 1.10 (2011/03/30)
------------------------------------

Version 1.10 includes changes to support new features in MongoDB 1.8.x.
Highlights include a modified map/reduce API including an inline map/reduce
helper method, a new find_and_modify helper, and the ability to query the
server for the maximum BSON document size it supports.

- added :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_and_modify`.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.inline_map_reduce`.
- changed :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce`.

.. warning:: MongoDB versions greater than 1.7.4 no longer generate temporary
   collections for map/reduce results. An output collection name must be
   provided and the output will replace any existing output collection with
   the same name. :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` now
   requires the ``out`` parameter.

Changes in Version 1.9 (2010/09/28)
-----------------------------------

Version 1.9 adds a new package to the PyMongo distribution,
:mod:`bson`. :mod:`bson` contains all of the `BSON
<https://bsonspec.org>`_ encoding and decoding logic, and the BSON
types that were formerly in the :mod:`pymongo` package. The following
modules have been renamed:

  - :mod:`pymongo.bson` -> :mod:`bson`
  - :mod:`pymongo._cbson` -> :mod:`bson._cbson` and
    :mod:`pymongo._cmessage`
  - :mod:`pymongo.binary` -> :mod:`bson.binary`
  - :mod:`pymongo.code` -> :mod:`bson.code`
  - :mod:`pymongo.dbref` -> :mod:`bson.dbref`
  - :mod:`pymongo.json_util` -> :mod:`bson.json_util`
  - :mod:`pymongo.max_key` -> :mod:`bson.max_key`
  - :mod:`pymongo.min_key` -> :mod:`bson.min_key`
  - :mod:`pymongo.objectid` -> :mod:`bson.objectid`
  - :mod:`pymongo.son` -> :mod:`bson.son`
  - :mod:`pymongo.timestamp` -> :mod:`bson.timestamp`
  - :mod:`pymongo.tz_util` -> :mod:`bson.tz_util`

In addition, the following exception classes have been renamed:

  - :class:`pymongo.errors.InvalidBSON` ->
    :class:`bson.errors.InvalidBSON`
  - :class:`pymongo.errors.InvalidStringData` ->
    :class:`bson.errors.InvalidStringData`
  - :class:`pymongo.errors.InvalidDocument` ->
    :class:`bson.errors.InvalidDocument`
  - :class:`pymongo.errors.InvalidId` ->
    :class:`bson.errors.InvalidId`

The above exceptions now inherit from :class:`bson.errors.BSONError`
rather than :class:`pymongo.errors.PyMongoError`.

.. note::  All of the renamed modules and exceptions above have aliases
           created with the old names, so these changes should not break
           existing code. The old names will eventually be deprecated and then
           removed, so users should begin migrating towards the new names now.

.. warning::

  The change to the exception hierarchy mentioned above is
  possibly breaking. If your code is catching
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.PyMongoError`, then the exceptions raised
  by :mod:`bson` will not be caught, even though they would have been
  caught previously. Before upgrading, it is recommended that users
  check for any cases like this.

- the C extension now shares buffer.c/h with the Ruby driver
- :mod:`bson` no longer raises :class:`~pymongo.errors.InvalidName`,
  all occurrences have been replaced with
  :class:`~bson.errors.InvalidDocument`.
- renamed :meth:`bson._to_dicts` to :meth:`~bson.decode_all`.
- renamed :meth:`~bson.BSON.from_dict` to :meth:`~bson.BSON.encode`
  and :meth:`~bson.BSON.to_dict` to :meth:`~bson.BSON.decode`.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.batch_size`.
- allow updating (some) file metadata after a
  :class:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridIn` instance has been closed.
- performance improvements for reading from GridFS.
- special cased slice with the same start and stop to return an empty
  cursor.
- allow writing :class:`unicode` to GridFS if an :attr:`encoding`
  attribute has been specified for the file.
- added :meth:`gridfs.GridFS.get_version`.
- scope variables for :class:`~bson.code.Code` can now be specified as
  keyword arguments.
- added :meth:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridOut.readline` to
  :class:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridOut`.
- make a best effort to transparently auto-reconnect if a
  :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` has been idle for a while.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.database.SystemJS.list` to
  :class:`~pymongo.database.SystemJS`.
- added ``file_document`` argument to :meth:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridOut`
  to allow initializing from an existing file document.
- raise :class:`~pymongo.errors.TimeoutError` even if the
  ``getLastError`` command was run manually and not through "safe"
  mode.
- added :class:`uuid` support to :mod:`~bson.json_util`.

Changes in Version 1.8.1 (2010/08/13)
-------------------------------------

- fixed a typo in the C extension that could cause safe-mode
  operations to report a failure (:class:`SystemError`) even when none
  occurred.
- added a :meth:`__ne__` implementation to any class where we define
  :meth:`__eq__`.

Changes in Version 1.8 (2010/08/05)
-----------------------------------

Version 1.8 adds support for connecting to replica sets, specifying
per-operation values for ``w`` and ``wtimeout``, and decoding to
timezone-aware datetimes.

- fixed a reference leak in the C extension when decoding a
  :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`.
- added support for ``w``, ``wtimeout``, and ``fsync`` (and any other
  options for ``getLastError``) to "safe mode" operations.
- added :attr:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.nodes` property.
- added a maximum pool size of 10 sockets.
- added support for replica sets.
- DEPRECATED :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.from_uri` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.paired`, both are supplanted
  by extended functionality in :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection`.
- added tz aware support for datetimes in
  :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId`,
  :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp` and :mod:`~bson.json_util`
  methods.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.drop` helper.
- reuse the socket used for finding the master when a
  :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` is first created.
- added support for :class:`~bson.min_key.MinKey`,
  :class:`~bson.max_key.MaxKey` and
  :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp` to :mod:`~bson.json_util`.
- added support for decoding datetimes as aware (UTC) - it is highly
  recommended to enable this by setting the ``tz_aware`` parameter to
  :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` to ``True``.
- added ``network_timeout`` option for individual calls to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`.
- added :meth:`~gridfs.GridFS.exists` to check if a file exists in
  GridFS.
- added support for additional keys in :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`
  instances.
- added :attr:`~pymongo.errors.OperationFailure.code` attribute to
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.OperationFailure` exceptions.
- fixed serialization of int and float subclasses in the C extension.

Changes in Version 1.7 (2010/06/17)
-----------------------------------

Version 1.7 is a recommended upgrade for all PyMongo users. The full
release notes are below, and some more in depth discussion of the
highlights is `here
<https://dirolf.com/2010/06/17/pymongo-1.7-released.html>`_.

- no longer attempt to build the C extension on big-endian systems.
- added :class:`~bson.min_key.MinKey` and
  :class:`~bson.max_key.MaxKey`.
- use unsigned for :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp` in BSON
  encoder/decoder.
- support ``True`` as ``"ok"`` in command responses, in addition to
  ``1.0`` - necessary for server versions **>= 1.5.X**
- BREAKING change to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.index_information` to add
  support for querying unique status and other index information.
- added :attr:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.document_class`, to
  specify class for returned documents.
- added ``as_class`` argument for
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`, and in the BSON decoder.
- added support for creating :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp`
  instances using a :class:`~datetime.datetime`.

  UTC.
- added support for :class:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.max_scan`.
- raise :class:`~gridfs.errors.FileExists` exception when creating a
  duplicate GridFS file.
- use `y2038 <https://github.com/evalEmpire/y2038/>`_ for time handling in
  the C extension - eliminates 2038 problems when extension is
  installed.
- added ``sort`` parameter to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`
- finalized deprecation of changes from versions **<= 1.4**
- take any non-:class:`dict` as an ``"_id"`` query for

- added ability to pass a :class:`dict` for ``fields`` argument to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find` (supports ``"$slice"``
  and field negation)
- simplified code to find master, since paired setups don't always have
  a remote
- fixed bug in C encoder for certain invalid types (like
  :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` instances).
- don't transparently map ``"filename"`` key to :attr:`name` attribute
  for GridFS.

Changes in Version 1.6 (2010/04/14)
-----------------------------------

The biggest change in version 1.6 is a complete re-implementation of
:mod:`gridfs` with a lot of improvements over the old
implementation. There are many details and examples of using the new
API in `this blog post
<https://dirolf.com/2010/03/29/new-gridfs-implementation-for-pymongo.html>`_. The
old API has been removed in this version, so existing code will need
to be modified before upgrading to 1.6.

- fixed issue where connection pool was being shared across
  :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` instances.
- more improvements to Python code caching in C extension - should
  improve behavior on mod_wsgi.

  :class:`~gridfs.grid_file.GridFile` instances.
- fix for making a :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection` (with
  ``slave_okay`` set) directly to a slave in a replica pair.
- accept kwargs for
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.ensure_index` to support all
  indexing options.
- add :data:`pymongo.GEO2D` and support for geo indexing.
- improvements to Python code caching in C extension - should improve
  behavior on mod_wsgi.

Changes in Version 1.5 (2010/03/10)
-----------------------------------
- added subtype constants to :mod:`~bson.binary` module.

  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.create_collection` in favor of
  kwargs.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.has_c` to check for C extension.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.copy_database`.

  :mod:`~bson.json_util`.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.from_uri` to support
  MongoDB connection uri scheme.
- fixed chunk number calculation when unaligned in :mod:`gridfs`.
- :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` takes a string for simple
  commands.
- added :data:`~pymongo.database.Database.system_js` helper for
  dealing with server-side JS.
- don't wrap queries containing ``"$query"`` (support manual use of
  ``"$min"``, etc.).
- added :class:`~gridfs.errors.GridFSError` as base class for
  :mod:`gridfs` exceptions.

Changes in Version 1.4 (2010/01/17)
-----------------------------------

Perhaps the most important change in version 1.4 is that we have
decided to **no longer support Python 2.3**. The most immediate reason
for this is to allow some improvements to connection pooling. This
will also allow us to use some new (as in Python 2.4 ;) idioms and
will help begin the path towards supporting Python 3.0. If you need to
use Python 2.3 you should consider using version 1.3 of this driver,
although that will no longer be actively supported.

Other changes:

- move ``"_id"`` to front only for top-level documents (fixes some
  corner cases).
- :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.remove` return the entire
  response to the *lastError* command when safe is ``True``.
- completed removal of things that were deprecated in version 1.2 or
  earlier.
- enforce that collection names do not contain the NULL byte.
- fix to allow using UTF-8 collection names with the C extension.
- added :class:`~pymongo.errors.PyMongoError` as base exception class
  for all :mod:`~pymongo.errors`. this changes the exception hierarchy
  somewhat, and is a BREAKING change if you depend on
  :class:`~pymongo.errors.ConnectionFailure` being a :class:`IOError`
  or :class:`~bson.errors.InvalidBSON` being a :class:`ValueError`,
  for example.
- added :class:`~pymongo.errors.DuplicateKeyError` for calls to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert` or
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update` with ``safe`` set to
  ``True``.
- removed :mod:`~pymongo.thread_util`.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.add_user` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.remove_user` helpers.
- fix for :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.authenticate` when using
  non-UTF-8 names or passwords.
- minor fixes for
  :class:`~pymongo.master_slave_connection.MasterSlaveConnection`.
- clean up all cases where :class:`~pymongo.errors.ConnectionFailure`
  is raised.
- simplification of connection pooling - makes driver ~2x faster for
  simple benchmarks. see `connection pooling <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/connect/connection-options/connection-pools/#connection-pools>`_ for more information.
- DEPRECATED ``pool_size``, ``auto_start_request`` and ``timeout``
  parameters to :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection`. DEPRECATED
  :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.start_request`.
- use :meth:`socket.sendall`.
- removed :meth:`~bson.son.SON.from_xml` as it was only being used
  for some internal testing - also eliminates dependency on
  :mod:`elementtree`.
- implementation of :meth:`~pymongo.message.update` in C.
- deprecate :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database._command` in favor of
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command`.
- send all commands without wrapping as ``{"query": ...}``.
- support string as ``key`` argument to
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.group` (keyf) and run all
  groups as commands.
- support for equality testing for :class:`~bson.code.Code`
  instances.
- allow the NULL byte in strings and disallow it in key names or regex
  patterns

Changes in Version 1.3 (2009/12/16)
-----------------------------------
- DEPRECATED running :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.group` as
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.eval`, also changed default for
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.group` to running as a command
- remove :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.__len__`, which was deprecated
  in 1.1.1 - needed to do this aggressively due to it's presence
  breaking **Django** template *for* loops
- DEPRECATED :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.host`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.port`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.connection`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.name`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.database`,
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.name` and
  :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.full_name` in favor of
  :attr:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.host`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.port`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.database.Database.connection`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.database.Database.name`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.database`,
  :attr:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.name` and
  :attr:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.full_name`, respectively. The
  deprecation schedule for this change will probably be faster than
  usual, as it carries some performance implications.
- added :meth:`~pymongo.connection.Connection.disconnect`

Changes in Version 1.2.1 (2009/12/10)
-------------------------------------
- added :doc:`changelog` to docs

  :class:`TypeError` when passing a 24 character string to
  :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId` that contains non-hexadecimal
  characters

Changes in Version 1.2 (2009/12/09)
-----------------------------------

  now optional to allow for deleting all documents in a
  :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection`
- always wrap queries with ``{query: ...}`` even when no special options -
  get around some issues with queries on fields named ``query``
- enforce 4MB document limit on the client side
- added :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` helper - see
  `Aggregation <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/aggregation/#transform-your-data-with-aggregation>`_
- added :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.distinct` method on
  :class:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor` instances to allow distinct with
  queries

  :meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor.skip`
- allow any UTF-8 string in :class:`~bson.BSON` encoder, not
  just ASCII subset
- added :attr:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId.generation_time`
- removed support for legacy :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId`
  format - pretty sure this was never used, and is just confusing

  :meth:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId.url_decode` in favor of :meth:`str`
  and :meth:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId`, respectively
- allow *oplog.$main* as a valid collection name

### Doc Migrate To Pymongo4 (`doc/migrate-to-pymongo4.rst`)

:orphan:

.. _pymongo4-migration-guide:

PyMongo 4 Migration Guide
=========================

.. testsetup::

  from pymongo import MongoClient, ReadPreference

  client = MongoClient()
  database = client.my_database
  collection = database.my_collection

PyMongo 4.0 brings a number of improvements as well as some backward breaking
changes. This guide provides a roadmap for migrating an existing application
from PyMongo 3.x to 4.x or writing libraries that will work with both
PyMongo 3.x and 4.x.

PyMongo 3
---------

The first step in any successful migration involves upgrading to, or
requiring, at least that latest version of PyMongo 3.x. If your project has a
requirements.txt file, add the line "pymongo >= 3.12, < 4.0" until you have
completely migrated to PyMongo 4. Most of the key new methods and options from
PyMongo 4.0 are backported in PyMongo 3.12 making migration much easier.

.. note:: Users of PyMongo 2.X who wish to upgrade to 4.x must first upgrade
   to PyMongo 3.x by following the `PyMongo 3 Migration Guide
   <https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/3.12.1/migrate-to-pymongo3.html>`_.

Python 3.6+
-----------

PyMongo 4.0 drops support for Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5. Users who wish to
upgrade to 4.x must first upgrade to Python 3.6.2+. Users upgrading from
Python 2 should consult `Python 3 <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/reference/upgrade/#upgrade-pymongo-versions>`_.

Enable Deprecation Warnings
---------------------------

:exc:`DeprecationWarning` is raised by most methods removed in PyMongo 4.0.
Make sure you enable runtime warnings to see where deprecated functions and
methods are being used in your application::

  python -Wd <your application>

Warnings can also be changed to errors::

  python -Wd -Werror <your application>

.. note:: Not all deprecated features raise :exc:`DeprecationWarning` when
  used. See `Removed features with no migration path`_.

MongoReplicaSetClient
---------------------

Removed :class:`~pymongo.mongo_replica_set_client.MongoReplicaSetClient`.
Since PyMongo 3.0, ``MongoReplicaSetClient`` has been identical to
:class:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`. Applications can simply replace
``MongoReplicaSetClient`` with :class:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` and
get the same behavior.

MongoClient
-----------

.. _pymongo4-migration-direct-connection:

``directConnection`` defaults to False
......................................

``directConnection`` URI option and keyword argument to :class:`~pymongo
.mongo_client.MongoClient` defaults to ``False`` instead of ``None``,
allowing for the automatic discovery of replica sets. This means that if you
want a direct connection to a single server you must pass
``directConnection=True`` as a URI option or keyword argument.

If you see any :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError`'s after upgrading from PyMongo 3 to 4.x, you likely
need to add ``directConnection=True`` when creating the client.
Here are some example errors:

.. code-block::

        pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: mongo_node2: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname
        provided, or not known,mongo_node1:27017

.. code-block::

        ServerSelectionTimeoutError: No servers match selector "Primary()", Timeout: 30s,
        Topology Description: ...


Additionally, the "isWritablePrimary" attribute of a hello command sent back by the server will
always be True if ``directConnection=False``::

   >>> client.admin.command('hello')['isWritablePrimary']
   True


The waitQueueMultiple parameter is removed
..........................................

Removed the ``waitQueueMultiple`` keyword argument to
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` and removed
:exc:`pymongo.errors.ExceededMaxWaiters`. Instead of using
``waitQueueMultiple`` to bound queuing, limit the size of the thread
pool in your application.

The socketKeepAlive parameter is removed
..........................................

Removed the ``socketKeepAlive`` keyword argument to
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`. PyMongo now always enables TCP
keepalive. For more information see the `documentation <https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/faq/diagnostics/#does-tcp-keepalive-time-affect-mongodb-deployments->`_.

Renamed URI options
...................

Several deprecated URI options have been renamed to the standardized
option names defined in the
`URI options specification <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/uri-options/uri-options.md>`_.
The old option names and their renamed equivalents are summarized in the table
below. Some renamed options have different semantics from the option being
replaced as noted in the 'Migration Notes' column.

+--------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Old URI Option     | Renamed URI Option            | Migration Notes                                        |
+====================+===============================+========================================================+

+--------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| ssl_cert_reqs      | tlsAllowInvalidCertificates   | Instead of ``ssl.CERT_NONE``, ``ssl.CERT_OPTIONAL``    |

MongoClient.fsync is removed
............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.fsync`. Run the
`fsync command`_ directly with :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command`
instead. For example::

    client.admin.command('fsync', lock=True)

.. _fsync command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/fsync/

MongoClient.unlock is removed
.............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.unlock`. Run the
`fsyncUnlock command`_ directly with
:meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` instead. For example::

     client.admin.command('fsyncUnlock')

.. _fsyncUnlock command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/fsyncUnlock/

MongoClient.is_locked is removed
................................

Removed :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.is_locked`. Run the
`currentOp command`_ directly with
:meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command` instead. For example::

    is_locked = client.admin.command('currentOp').get('fsyncLock')

.. _currentOp command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/currentOp/

MongoClient.database_names is removed
.....................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.database_names`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.list_database_names` instead. Code like
this::

    names = client.database_names()

can be changed to this::

    names = client.list_database_names()

MongoClient.max_bson_size/max_message_size/max_write_batch_size are removed
...........................................................................

Removed :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_bson_size`,
:attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_message_size`, and
:attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_write_batch_size`. These helpers
were incorrect when in ``loadBalanced=true mode`` and ambiguous in clusters
with mixed versions. Use the `hello command`_ to get the authoritative
value from the remote server instead. Code like this::

    max_bson_size = client.max_bson_size
    max_message_size = client.max_message_size
    max_write_batch_size = client.max_write_batch_size

can be changed to this::

    doc = client.admin.command('hello')
    max_bson_size = doc['maxBsonObjectSize']
    max_message_size = doc['maxMessageSizeBytes']
    max_write_batch_size = doc['maxWriteBatchSize']

.. _hello command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/hello/

MongoClient.event_listeners and other configuration option helpers are removed
..............................................................................

The following client configuration option helpers are removed:
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.event_listeners`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_pool_size`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.max_idle_time_ms`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.local_threshold_ms`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.server_selection_timeout`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.retry_writes`.
- :attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.retry_reads`.

These helpers have been replaced by
:attr:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.options`. Code like this::

    client.event_listeners
    client.local_threshold_ms
    client.server_selection_timeout
    client.max_pool_size
    client.min_pool_size
    client.max_idle_time_ms

can be changed to this::

    client.options.event_listeners
    client.options.local_threshold_ms
    client.options.server_selection_timeout
    client.options.pool_options.max_pool_size
    client.options.pool_options.min_pool_size
    client.options.pool_options.max_idle_time_seconds

.. _tz_aware_default_change:

``tz_aware`` defaults to ``False``
..................................

The ``tz_aware`` argument to :class:`~bson.json_util.JSONOptions`
now defaults to ``False`` instead of ``True``. :meth:`bson.json_util.loads`
now decodes datetime as naive by default::

    >>> from bson import json_util
    >>> s = '{"dt": {"$date": "2022-05-09T17:54:00Z"}}'
    >>> json_util.loads(s)
    {'dt': datetime.datetime(2022, 5, 9, 17, 54)}

To retain the PyMongo 3 behavior set ``tz_aware=True``, for example::

    >>> from bson import json_util
    >>> opts = json_util.JSONOptions(tz_aware=True)
    >>> s = '{"dt": {"$date": "2022-05-09T17:54:00Z"}}'
    >>> json_util.loads(s, json_options=opts)
    {'dt': datetime.datetime(2022, 5, 9, 17, 54, tzinfo=<bson.tz_util.FixedOffset object at 0x7fd1ebc1add0>)}

This change was made to match the default behavior of
:class:`~bson.codec_options.CodecOptions` and :class:`bson.decode`.

MongoClient cannot execute operations after ``close()``
.......................................................

:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` cannot execute any operations
after being closed. The previous behavior would simply reconnect. However,
now you must create a new instance.

MongoClient raises exception when given more than one URI
.........................................................

:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` now raises a :exc:`~pymongo.errors.ConfigurationError`
when more than one URI is passed into the ``hosts`` argument.

MongoClient raises exception when given unescaped percent sign in login info
............................................................................

:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` now raises an
:exc:`~pymongo.errors.InvalidURI` exception
when it encounters unescaped percent signs in username and password.

Database
--------

Database.authenticate and Database.logout are removed
.....................................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.authenticate` and
:meth:`pymongo.database.Database.logout`. Authenticating multiple users
on the same client conflicts with support for logical sessions in MongoDB 3.6+.
To authenticate as multiple users, create multiple instances of
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient`. Code like this::

    client = MongoClient()
    client.admin.authenticate('user1', 'pass1')
    client.admin.authenticate('user2', 'pass2')

can be changed to this::

    client1 = MongoClient(username='user1', password='pass1')
    client2 = MongoClient(username='user2', password='pass2')

Alternatively, create a single user that contains all the authentication privileges
required by your application.

Database.collection_names is removed
....................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.collection_names`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.list_collection_names` instead. Code like
this::

    names = client.db.collection_names()
    non_system_names = client.db.collection_names(include_system_collections=False)

can be changed to this::

    names = client.db.list_collection_names()
    non_system_names = client.db.list_collection_names(filter={"name": {"$regex": "^(?!system\\.)"}})

Database.current_op is removed
..............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.current_op`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.aggregate` instead with the
`$currentOp aggregation pipeline stage`_. Code like
this::

    ops = client.admin.current_op()['inprog']

can be changed to this::

    ops = list(client.admin.aggregate([{'$currentOp': {}}]))

.. _$currentOp aggregation pipeline stage: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/currentOp/

Database.add_user is removed
............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.add_user`  which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.6. Use the `createUser command`_ or `updateUser command`_ instead.
To create a user::

  db.command("createUser", "admin", pwd="password", roles=["dbAdmin"])

To create a read-only user::

  db.command("createUser", "user", pwd="password", roles=["read"])

To change a password::

  db.command("updateUser", "user", pwd="newpassword")

Or change roles::

  db.command("updateUser", "user", roles=["readWrite"])

.. _createUser command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/createUser/
.. _updateUser command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/updateUser/

Database.remove_user is removed
...............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.remove_user` which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.6. Use the `dropUser command`_ instead::

  db.command("dropUser", "user")

.. _dropUser command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/createUser/

Database.profiling_level is removed
...................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.profiling_level` which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.12. Use the `profile command`_ instead. Code like this::

  level = db.profiling_level()

Can be changed to this::

  profile = db.command('profile', -1)
  level = profile['was']

.. _profile command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/profile/

Database.set_profiling_level is removed
.......................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.set_profiling_level` which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.12. Use the `profile command`_ instead. Code like this::

  db.set_profiling_level(pymongo.ALL, filter={'op': 'query'})

Can be changed to this::

  res = db.command('profile', 2, filter={'op': 'query'})

Database.profiling_info is removed
..................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.profiling_info` which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.12. Query the `'system.profile' collection`_ instead. Code like this::

  profiling_info = db.profiling_info()

Can be changed to this::

  profiling_info = list(db['system.profile'].find())

.. _'system.profile' collection: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/database-profiler/

Database.__bool__ raises NotImplementedError
............................................
:class:`~pymongo.database.Database` now raises an error upon evaluating as a
Boolean. Code like this::

  if database:

Can be changed to this::

  if database is not None:

You must now explicitly compare with None.

Collection
----------

The useCursor option for Collection.aggregate is removed
........................................................

Removed the ``useCursor`` option for
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` which was deprecated in
PyMongo 3.6. The option was only necessary when upgrading from MongoDB 2.4
to MongoDB 2.6.

Collection.insert is removed
............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.insert`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_one` or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_many` instead.

Code like this::

  collection.insert({'doc': 1})
  collection.insert([{'doc': 2}, {'doc': 3}])

Can be changed to this::

  collection.insert_one({'my': 'document'})
  collection.insert_many([{'doc': 2}, {'doc': 3}])

Collection.save is removed
..........................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.save`. Applications will
get better performance using :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_one`
to insert a new document and :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`
to update an existing document. Code like this::

  doc = collection.find_one({"_id": "some id"})
  doc["some field"] = <some value>
  db.collection.save(doc)

Can be changed to this::

  result = collection.update_one({"_id": "some id"}, {"$set": {"some field": <some value>}})

If performance is not a concern and refactoring is untenable, ``save`` can be
implemented like so::

  def save(doc):
      if '_id' in doc:
          collection.replace_one({'_id': doc['_id']}, doc, upsert=True)
          return doc['_id']
      else:
          res = collection.insert_one(doc)
          return res.inserted_id

Collection.update is removed
............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.update`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_one`
to update a single document or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.update_many` to update multiple
documents. Code like this::

  collection.update({}, {'$set': {'a': 1}})
  collection.update({}, {'$set': {'b': 1}}, multi=True)

Can be changed to this::

  collection.update_one({}, {'$set': {'a': 1}})
  collection.update_many({}, {'$set': {'b': 1}})

Collection.remove is removed
............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.remove`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.delete_one`
to delete a single document or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.delete_many` to delete multiple
documents. Code like this::

  collection.remove({'a': 1}, multi=False)
  collection.remove({'b': 1})

Can be changed to this::

  collection.delete_one({'a': 1})
  collection.delete_many({'b': 1})

Collection.find_and_modify is removed
.....................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.find_and_modify`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_update`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_replace`, or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one_and_delete` instead.
Code like this::

  updated_doc = collection.find_and_modify({'a': 1}, {'$set': {'b': 1}})
  replaced_doc = collection.find_and_modify({'b': 1}, {'c': 1})
  deleted_doc = collection.find_and_modify({'c': 1}, remove=True)

Can be changed to this::

  updated_doc = collection.find_one_and_update({'a': 1}, {'$set': {'b': 1}})
  replaced_doc = collection.find_one_and_replace({'b': 1}, {'c': 1})
  deleted_doc = collection.find_one_and_delete({'c': 1})

Collection.count and Cursor.count is removed
............................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.count` and
:meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.count`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.estimated_document_count` instead.
Code like this::

  ntotal = collection.count({})
  nmatched = collection.count({'price': {'$gte': 10}})
  # Or via the Cursor.count api:
  ntotal = collection.find({}).count()
  nmatched = collection.find({'price': {'$gte': 10}}).count()

Can be changed to this::

  ntotal = collection.estimated_document_count()
  nmatched = collection.count_documents({'price': {'$gte': 10}})

.. note:: When migrating from :meth:`count` to :meth:`count_documents`
   the following query operators must be replaced:

   +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Operator    | Replacement                                                  |
   +=============+==============================================================+
   | $where      | `$expr`_                                                     |
   +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
   | $near       | `$geoWithin`_ with `$center`_; i.e.                          |
   |             | ``{'$geoWithin': {'$center': [[<x>,<y>], <radius>]}}``       |
   +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
   | $nearSphere | `$geoWithin`_ with `$centerSphere`_; i.e.                    |
   |             | ``{'$geoWithin': {'$centerSphere': [[<x>,<y>], <radius>]}}`` |
   +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+

.. _$center: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/query/center/
.. _$centerSphere: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/query/centerSphere/

Collection.initialize_ordered_bulk_op and initialize_unordered_bulk_op is removed
.................................................................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.initialize_ordered_bulk_op`
and :class:`pymongo.bulk.BulkOperationBuilder`. Use
:meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write` instead. Code like this::

  batch = coll.initialize_ordered_bulk_op()
  batch.insert({'a': 1})
  batch.find({'a': 1}).update_one({'$set': {'b': 1}})
  batch.find({'a': 2}).upsert().replace_one({'b': 2})
  batch.find({'a': 3}).remove()
  result = batch.execute()

Can be changed to this::

  coll.bulk_write([
      InsertOne({'a': 1}),
      UpdateOne({'a': 1}, {'$set': {'b': 1}}),
      ReplaceOne({'a': 2}, {'b': 2}, upsert=True),
      DeleteOne({'a': 3}),
  ])

Collection.initialize_unordered_bulk_op is removed
..................................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.initialize_unordered_bulk_op`.
Use :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.bulk_write` instead. Code like this::

  batch = coll.initialize_unordered_bulk_op()
  batch.insert({'a': 1})
  batch.find({'a': 1}).update_one({'$set': {'b': 1}})
  batch.find({'a': 2}).upsert().replace_one({'b': 2})
  batch.find({'a': 3}).remove()
  result = batch.execute()

Can be changed to this::

  coll.bulk_write([
      InsertOne({'a': 1}),
      UpdateOne({'a': 1}, {'$set': {'b': 1}}),
      ReplaceOne({'a': 2}, {'b': 2}, upsert=True),
      DeleteOne({'a': 3}),
  ], ordered=False)

Collection.group is removed
...........................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.group`. This method was
deprecated in PyMongo 3.5. MongoDB 4.2 removed the group command.
Use :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` with the ``$group`` stage
instead.

Collection.map_reduce and Collection.inline_map_reduce are removed
..................................................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.map_reduce` and
:meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.inline_map_reduce`.
Migrate to :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.aggregate` or run the
`mapReduce command`_ directly with :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.command`
instead. For more guidance on this migration see:

- https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/map-reduce-to-aggregation-pipeline/
- https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/aggregation-commands-comparison/

.. _mapReduce command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/mapReduce/

Collection.ensure_index is removed
..................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.ensure_index`. Use
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index` or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_indexes` instead. Note that
``ensure_index`` maintained an in memory cache of recently created indexes
whereas the newer methods do not. Applications should avoid frequent calls
to :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_index` or
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.create_indexes`. Code like this::

  def persist(self, document):
      collection.ensure_index('a', unique=True)
      collection.insert_one(document)

Can be changed to this::

  def persist(self, document):
      if not self.created_index:
          collection.create_index('a', unique=True)
          self.created_index = True
      collection.insert_one(document)

Collection.reindex is removed
.............................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.collection.Collection.reindex`. Run the
`reIndex command`_ directly instead. Code like this::

  >>> result = database.my_collection.reindex()

can be changed to this::

  >>> result = database.command('reIndex', 'my_collection')

.. _reIndex command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/reIndex/

The modifiers parameter is removed
..................................

Removed the ``modifiers`` parameter from
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_raw_batches`, and
:meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor`. Pass the options directly to the method
instead. Code like this::

  cursor = coll.find({}, modifiers={
      "$comment": "comment",
      "$hint": {"_id": 1},
      "$min": {"_id": 0},
      "$max": {"_id": 6},
      "$maxTimeMS": 6000,
      "$returnKey": False,
      "$showDiskLoc": False,
  })

can be changed to this::

  cursor = coll.find(
      {},
      comment="comment",
      hint={"_id": 1},
      min={"_id": 0},
      max={"_id": 6},
      max_time_ms=6000,
      return_key=False,
      show_record_id=False,
  )

The hint parameter is required with min/max
...........................................

The ``hint`` option is now required when using ``min`` or ``max`` queries
with :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find` to ensure the query utilizes
the correct index. For example, code like this::

  cursor = coll.find({}, min={'x', min_value})

can be changed to this::

  cursor = coll.find({}, min={'x', min_value}, hint=[('x', ASCENDING)])

Collection.__bool__ raises NotImplementedError
..............................................
:class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` now raises an error upon evaluating
as a Boolean. Code like this::

  if collection:

Can be changed to this::

  if collection is not None:

You must now explicitly compare with None.

Collection.find returns entire document with empty projection
.............................................................
Empty projections (eg {} or []) for
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`, and
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`
are passed to the server as-is rather than the previous behavior which
substituted in a projection of ``{"_id": 1}``. This means that an empty
projection will now return the entire document, not just the ``"_id"`` field.
To ensure that behavior remains consistent, code like this::

  coll.find({}, projection={})

Can be changed to this::

  coll.find({}, projection={"_id":1})

SONManipulator is removed
-------------------------

Removed :mod:`pymongo.son_manipulator`,
:class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.SONManipulator`,
:class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.ObjectIdInjector`,
:class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.ObjectIdShuffler`,
:class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.AutoReference`,
:class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.NamespaceInjector`,
:meth:`pymongo.database.Database.add_son_manipulator`,
:attr:`pymongo.database.Database.outgoing_copying_manipulators`,
:attr:`pymongo.database.Database.outgoing_manipulators`,
:attr:`pymongo.database.Database.incoming_copying_manipulators`, and
:attr:`pymongo.database.Database.incoming_manipulators`.

Removed the ``manipulate`` parameter from
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find`,
:meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find_one`, and
:meth:`~pymongo.cursor.Cursor`.

The :class:`pymongo.son_manipulator.SONManipulator` API has limitations as a
technique for transforming your data and was deprecated in PyMongo 3.0.
Instead, it is more flexible and straightforward to transform outgoing
documents in your own code before passing them to PyMongo, and transform
incoming documents after receiving them from PyMongo.

Alternatively, if your application uses the ``SONManipulator`` API to convert
custom types to BSON, the :class:`~bson.codec_options.TypeCodec` and
:class:`~bson.codec_options.TypeRegistry` APIs may be a suitable alternative.
For more information, see `Custom Types <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/custom-types/type-codecs/#encode-data-with-type-codecs>`_.

``SON().items()`` now returns ``dict_items`` object.
----------------------------------------------------
:meth:`~bson.son.SON.items` now returns a ``dict_items`` object rather than
a list.

``SON().iteritems()`` removed.
------------------------------
``SON.iteritems()`` now removed. Code that looks like this::

    for k, v in son.iteritems():

Can now be replaced by code that looks like::

    for k, v in son.items():

IsMaster is removed
-------------------

Removed :class:`pymongo.ismaster.IsMaster`.
Use :class:`pymongo.hello.Hello` instead.

NotMasterError is removed
-------------------------

Removed :exc:`~pymongo.errors.NotMasterError`.
Use :exc:`~pymongo.errors.NotPrimaryError` instead.

CertificateError is removed
---------------------------

Removed :exc:`~pymongo.errors.CertificateError`. Since PyMongo 3.0 this error
is handled internally and is never raised to the application.

pymongo.GEOHAYSTACK is removed
------------------------------

Removed :attr:`pymongo.GEOHAYSTACK`. Replace with "geoHaystack" or create a
2d index and use $geoNear or $geoWithin instead.

UUIDLegacy is removed
---------------------

Removed :class:`bson.binary.UUIDLegacy`. Use
:meth:`bson.binary.Binary.from_uuid` instead.  Code like this::

  uu = uuid.uuid4()
  uuid_legacy = UUIDLegacy(uu)

can be changed to this::

  uu = uuid.uuid4()
  uuid_legacy = Binary.from_uuid(uu, PYTHON_LEGACY)

Default JSONMode changed from LEGACY to RELAXED
-----------------------------------------------

Changed the default JSON encoding representation from legacy to relaxed.
The json_mode parameter for :const:`bson.json_util.dumps` now defaults to
:const:`~bson.json_util.RELAXED_JSON_OPTIONS`.

GridFS changes
--------------

.. _removed-gridfs-checksum:

disable_md5 parameter is removed
................................

Removed the ``disable_md5`` option for :class:`~gridfs.GridFSBucket` and
:class:`~gridfs.GridFS`. GridFS no longer generates checksums.
Applications that desire a file digest should implement it outside GridFS
and store it with other file metadata. For example::

  import hashlib
  my_db = MongoClient().test
  fs = GridFSBucket(my_db)
  with fs.open_upload_stream("test_file") as grid_in:
      file_data = b'...'
      sha356 = hashlib.sha256(file_data).hexdigest()
      grid_in.write(file_data)
      grid_in.sha356 = sha356  # Set the custom 'sha356' field

Note that for large files, the checksum may need to be computed in chunks
to avoid the excessive memory needed to load the entire file at once.

Removed features with no migration path
---------------------------------------

cursor_manager support is removed
.................................

Removed :class:`pymongo.cursor_manager.CursorManager`,
:mod:`pymongo.cursor_manager`, and
:meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.set_cursor_manager`.

MongoClient.close_cursor is removed
...................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.close_cursor` and
:meth:`pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient.kill_cursors`. Instead, close cursors
with :meth:`pymongo.cursor.Cursor.close` or
:meth:`pymongo.command_cursor.CommandCursor.close`.

.. _killCursors command: https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/killCursors/

Database.eval, Database.system_js, and SystemJS are removed
...........................................................

Removed :meth:`~pymongo.database.Database.eval`,
:data:`~pymongo.database.Database.system_js` and
:class:`~pymongo.database.SystemJS`. The eval command was deprecated in
MongoDB 3.0 and removed in MongoDB 4.2. There is no replacement for eval with
MongoDB 4.2+.

However, on MongoDB <= 4.0, code like this::

  >>> result = database.eval('function (x) {return x;}', 3)

can be changed to this::

  >>> from bson.code import Code
  >>> result = database.command('eval', Code('function (x) {return x;}'), args=[3]).get('retval')

Database.error, Database.last_status, Database.previous_error, and Database.reset_error_history are removed
...........................................................................................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.database.Database.error`,
:meth:`pymongo.database.Database.last_status`,
:meth:`pymongo.database.Database.previous_error`, and
:meth:`pymongo.database.Database.reset_error_history`.
These methods are obsolete: all MongoDB write operations use an acknowledged
write concern and report their errors by default. These methods were
deprecated in PyMongo 2.8.

Collection.parallel_scan is removed
...................................

Removed :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.parallel_scan`. MongoDB 4.2
removed the parallelCollectionScan command.  There is no replacement.

pymongo.message helpers are removed
...................................

Removed :meth:`pymongo.message.delete`, :meth:`pymongo.message.get_more`,
:meth:`pymongo.message.insert`, :meth:`pymongo.message.kill_cursors`,
:meth:`pymongo.message.query`, and :meth:`pymongo.message.update`.


Name is a required argument for pymongo.driver_info.DriverInfo
..............................................................

``name`` is now a required argument for the :class:`pymongo.driver_info.DriverInfo` class.

DBRef BSON/JSON decoding behavior
.................................

Changed the BSON and JSON decoding behavior of :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`
to match the behavior outlined in the `DBRef specification`_ version 1.0.
Specifically, PyMongo now only decodes a subdocument into a
:class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef` if and only if, it contains both ``$ref`` and
``$id`` fields and the ``$ref``, ``$id``, and ``$db`` fields are of the
correct type. Otherwise the document is returned as normal. Previously, any
subdocument containing a ``$ref`` field would be decoded as a
:class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef`.

.. _DBRef specification: https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/dbref/dbref.md

Encoding a UUID raises an error by default
..........................................

The default ``uuid_representation`` for :class:`~bson.codec_options.CodecOptions`,
:class:`~bson.json_util.JSONOptions`, and
:class:`~pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient` has been changed from
:data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.PYTHON_LEGACY` to
:data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.UNSPECIFIED`. Attempting to encode a
:class:`uuid.UUID` instance to BSON or JSON now produces an error by default.
If you were using UUIDs previously, you will need to set your ``uuid_representation`` to
:data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.PYTHON_LEGACY` to avoid data corruption. If you do not have UUIDs,
then you should set :data:`bson.binary.UuidRepresentation.STANDARD`. If you do not explicitly set a value,
you will receive an error like this when attempting to encode a :class:`uuid.UUID`::

    ValueError: cannot encode native uuid.UUID with UuidRepresentation.UNSPECIFIED. UUIDs can be manually converted...

See `Handling UUIDs <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/pymongo-driver/current/data-formats/uuid/#universally-unique-ids--uuids->`_ for details.

Additional BSON classes implement ``__slots__``
...............................................

:class:`~bson.int64.Int64`, :class:`~bson.min_key.MinKey`,
:class:`~bson.max_key.MaxKey`, :class:`~bson.timestamp.Timestamp`,
:class:`~bson.regex.Regex`, and :class:`~bson.dbref.DBRef` now implement
``__slots__`` to reduce memory usage. This means that their attributes are fixed, and new
attributes cannot be added to the object at runtime.
