MongoDB PHP Driver 1.3.0

The 1.3 series introduced several major changes to the extension such as completely rewritten connection handling (and removal of the pooling mechanism), support for ReadPreferences and change the default WriteConcerns to be acknowledged by introducing a new class MongoClient which serves as a replacement class for the now deprecated Mongo class.

The driver now also supports connecting to multiple mongos instances (the Mongo Shard router) for loadbalancing.

Other enhancements include improved logging for easier connection handling debugging with MongoLog and support for the » Aggregation Framework via the MongoCollection::aggregate method.
