MongoDB Go Driver 1.17.0
The MongoDB Go Driver Team is pleased to release version 1.17.0 of the official MongoDB Go driver.
Release Notes
This release adds support for client authentication using OpenID Connect (MONGODB-OIDC), and for the Queryable Encryption Range Protocol. The driver now supports MongoDB 8.0. Additionally, IndexView has been extended to include methods for dropping indexes by key (i.e. DropOneWithKey and DropWithKey).
Note
This is the last planned minor release in the 1.x series. Future driver versions will be in the 2.x series. The v1.17.x will still receive security and bug fixes for a year.
Queryable Encryption Range Protocol
Added range protocol support for Queryable Encryption.
MONGODB-OIDC
Added support OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication for workload identities. A workload identity is an identity you assign to a software workload, such as an application, service, script, or container, to authenticate and access other services and resources.
