Select portions of the following relevant SERVER tickets were backported to this release in CXX-572:

This is an alpha release of the next-generation MongoDB C++ Driver.

Please see our blog post for a full description of the new driver's design goals.

As specified in the Quickstart Guide, building the driver requires a C++11 conformant compiler and depends on the 1.2.0-dev branch of the MongoDB C Driver.

The driver cannot currently be built with MSVC - please use clang 3.4 or g++ 4.8 (or newer). We are planning to incorporate support for MSVC 2015 after it ships.

While we also plan to commit to a stable ABI in the future, the prerelease versions before 1.0.0 will not offer a stable ABI. The library currently has a soname ABI version of 0 which indicates no stability guarantee.

API documentation can be found here. Please file JIRA tickets if you encounter any problems using the driver.

There are no material differences between this release and the legacy-1.0.1-rc0 release. Please see the release notes for that release for details on what has changed since legacy-1.0.0

Additionally, select portions of the following relevant SERVER tickets were backported to this release:

PLEASE NOTE: You should prefer the stable legacy-1.0 release series if possible. At the time of this writing, the most current release in the legacy-1.0 release series is https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver/releases/tag/legacy-1.0.0.
