    Database Tools Changelog

    Released 2021-03-17

    This release includes various bug fixes. Particularly notable is TOOLS-2783, where we reverted a change from 100.2.1 (TOOLS-1856: use a memory pool in mongorestore) after discovering that it was causing memory usage issues.

    Released 2020-10-15

    This release deprecates the --sslAllowInvalidHostnames and --sslAllowInvalidCertificates flags in favor of a new --tlsInsecure flag. The mongofiles put and mongofiles get commands can now accept a list of file names. There is a new mongofiles get_regex command to retrieve all files matching a regex pattern. The 100.2.0 release also contains fixes for several bugs. It fixes a bug introduced in version 100.1.0 that made it impossible to connect to clusters with an SRV connection string (TOOLS-2711).

    The full list of changes is below:

    • TOOLS-1785 Typo in mongodump help

    This release was a test of our new release infrastructure and contains no changes from 100.0.0.

    • TOOLS-2493 Cut tools 100.0.0 and 100.0.1 GA releases

    This is the first separate release of the Database Tools from the Server. We decided to move to a separate release so we can ship new features and bugfixes more frequently. The new separate release version starts from 100.0.0 to make it clear the versioning is separate from the Server. You can read more about this on the MongoDB blog.

    This release contains bugfixes, some new command-line options, and quality of life improvements. A full list can be found below, but here are some highlights:

    • There are no longer restrictions on using --uri with other connection options such as --port and --password as long as the URI and the explicit option don't provide conflicting information. Connection strings can now be specified as a positional argument without the --uri option.
    • The new --useArrayIndexFields flag for mongoimport interprets natural numbers in fields as array indexes when importing csv or tsv files.
    • The new --convertLegacyIndexes flag for mongorestore removes any invalid index options specified in the corresponding mongodump output, and rewrites any legacy index key values to use valid values.
    • A new delete mode for mongoimport. With --mode delete, mongoimport deletes existing documents in the database that match a document in the import file.
    • TOOLS-1493 Tools crash running help when terminal width is low
    • TOOLS-1786 mongodump does not create metadata.json file for views dumped as collections
