Full release notes available on JIRA.

v2.2.0

Released March 11, 2024

Performance improvements:

• MONGOSH-1605 – mongosh uses Node.js startup snapshots again to improve initialization performance.

• MONGOSH-1721 – mongosh now defaults to --quiet in non-interactive mode. For example, using --json or loading files from the command line without also specifying --shell. Users who do not want this behavior need to specify --no-quiet.

Node.js:

• mongosh now uses version 6.5.0 of the Node.js driver.

This ignores readPreference options and consistently applies a primaryPreferred read preference, even if a read preference is specified on the connection string or on the individual command.

OIDC functionality:

• COMPASS-7437 – mongosh will not request default OIDC scopes that are not supported by the Identity Provider.

v1.5.4

Released July 31, 2022

Fixes a potential data corruption bug in KeyVault.rewrapManyDataKey() when rotating encrypted data encryption keys backed by Azure or GCP key services.

In previous versions of mongosh, this bug occurs when an Azure-backed or GCP-backed data encryption key being rewrapped requires fetching an access token for decryption of the data encryption key.

As a result of this bug, all data encryption keys being rewrapped are replaced by new randomly generated material, destroying the original key material.

To mitigate potential data corruption, upgrade mongosh to v1.5.4 or higher before using KeyVault.rewrapManyDataKey() to rotate Azure-backed or GCP-backed data encryption keys. You should always create a backup of the key vault collection before key rotation.
