2.6.1 – Changes¶

Stability¶

SERVER-13739 Repair database failure can delete database files

Build and Packaging¶

SERVER-13287 Addition of debug symbols has doubled compile time
SERVER-13563 Upgrading from 2.4.x to 2.6.0 via yum clobbers configuration file
SERVER-13691 yum and apt “stable” repositories contain release candidate 2.6.1-rc0 packages
SERVER-13515 Cannot install MongoDB as a service on Windows

Querying¶

SERVER-13066 Negations over multikey fields do not use index
SERVER-13495 Concurrent GETMORE and KILLCURSORS operations can cause race condition and server crash
SERVER-13503 The $where operator should not be allowed under $elemMatch
SERVER-13537 Large skip and and limit values can cause crash in blocking sort stage
SERVER-13557 Incorrect negation of $elemMatch value in 2.6
SERVER-13562 Queries that use tailable cursors do not stream results if skip() is applied
SERVER-13566 Using the OplogReplay flag with extra predicates can yield incorrect results
SERVER-13611 Missing sort order for compound index leads to unnecessary in-memory sort
SERVER-13618 Optimization for sorted $in queries not applied to reverse sort order
SERVER-13661 Increase the maximum allowed depth of query objects
SERVER-13664 Query with $elemMatch using a compound multikey index can generate incorrect results
SERVER-13677 Query planner should traverse through $all while handling $elemMatch object predicates
SERVER-13766 Dropping index or collection while $or query is yielding triggers fatal assertion

Geospatial¶

SERVER-13666 $near queries with out-of-bounds points in legacy format can lead to crashes
SERVER-13540 The geoNear command no longer returns distance in radians for legacy point
SERVER-13486: The geoNear command can create too large BSON objects for aggregation.

Replication¶

SERVER-13500 Changing replica set configuration can crash running members
SERVER-13589 Background index builds from a 2.6.0 primary fail to complete on 2.4.x secondaries
SERVER-13620 Replicated data definition commands will fail on secondaries during background index build
SERVER-13496 Creating index with same name but different spec in mixed version replicaset can abort replication

Sharding¶

SERVER-12638 Initial sharding with hashed shard key can result in duplicate split points
SERVER-13518 The _id field is no longer automatically generated by mongos when missing
SERVER-13777 Migrated ranges waiting for deletion do not report cursors still open

Security¶

SERVER-9358 Log rotation can overwrite previous log files
SERVER-13644 Sensitive credentials in startup options are not redacted and may be exposed
SERVER-13441 Inconsistent error handling in user management shell helpers

Write Operations¶

SERVER-13466 Error message in collection creation failure contains incorrect namespace
SERVER-13499 Yield policy for batch-inserts should be the same as for batch-updates/deletes
SERVER-13516 Array updates on documents with more than 128 BSON elements may crash mongod
