I’m pleased to announce the coordinated release of drivers in 9 languages in preparation for the release of MongoDB 2.6. This is the largest driver release in the history of MongoDB, both in terms of code changes as well as in terms of drivers released. Official Drivers for C, C++, C# (.net), Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala were all released with Perl following shortly. In the upcoming weeks community drivers will be updated to take advantage of the new features present in MongoDB 2.6. With both community and official drivers MongoDB is supported in over two dozen languages and platforms.
The new drivers support the following features:
Write Operations
- Full support for the new MongoDB Bulk Operations

Aggregation Improvements
- Writing aggregation results to a collection
- Aggregation cursors
