MongoDB Go Driver 2.8.0

The MongoDB Go Driver Team is pleased to release version 2.8.0 of the official MongoDB Go Driver.

Release Highlights

This release supports the general availability of Queryable Encryption string queries. The query types prefix, suffix, and substring are added as generally available for MongoDB 9.0+ and libmongocrypt 1.20.0. The query types prefixPreview, suffixPreview, and substringPreview remain experimental for 8.2–8.x servers and may be removed in a future release.

Other key facts:

• The algorithm TextPreview is replaced with String.
• API rename: options.Text() → options.String(); TextOptions* → StringOptions*; EncryptOptionsBuilder.SetTextOptions → SetStringOptions.
