The MongoDB Go driver team is pleased to release the third and final beta release of the official Go driver.

This release changes the API for cursor, numerous documentation updates and fixes, and other small API changes.

Documentation can be found on GoDoc and the MongoDB documentation site. Questions and inquiries can be asked on the mongo-go-driver Google Group. Bugs can be reported in the Go Driver Jira where a list of current issues can be found.

Cursor and ChangeStream API changed

This release changes the mongo.Cursor type from an interface to a struct and adds a mongo.ChangeStream struct type which is returned from Watch methods. The DecodeBytes method on each has been replaced with a struct level property called Current. The bson.Raw bytes of this property are only valid until the next call to Next or Close on the Cursor or ChangeStream.

Previous usage:

var cur mongo.Cursor
for cur.Next(context.TODO()) {
    rdr, err := cur.DecodeBytes()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    // Do something with rdr
}

New usage:

var cur *mongo.Cursor
for cur.Next(context.TODO()) {
    rdr := cur.Current
    // Do something with rdr
}
