Percona Server for MongoDB 7.0.14-8 (2024-09-23)¶
Percona Server for MongoDB 7.0.14-8 is an enhanced, source-available, and highly-scalable database that is a fully-compatible, drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition 7.0.12.
Percona Server for MongoDB 7.0.14-8 includes the improvements and bug fixes of MongoDB 7.0.14 Community Edition and supports its protocols and drivers.
Release Highlights¶
This release of Percona Server for MongoDB includes the following features and improvements:
Reduce mean time to resolve (MTTR) compromised encryption key incidents in KMIP¶
Starting with this release, Percona Server for MongoDB automatically activates all new master encryption keys at startup and periodically checks (polls) their status in a KMIP server. If a master encryption key for a node transitions to the state other than Active, the node reports an error and shuts down. This method allows security engineers to quickly identify which nodes require out-of-schedule master key rotation, such as in the case of compromised keys, without needing to rotate keys for the entire cluster.

Easier dependency management with thinner tarballs¶
Tarballs are now available for each supported operating system individually and no longer include built-in libraries. This change reduces the tarball download size and increases their security by simplifying updates for required dependencies.
Upstream Improvements¶
The bug fixes, provided by MongoDB and included in Percona Server for MongoDB, are the following:
- SERVER-82814 - Added support of internal expr comparison operators when determining clustered collection scan bounds
- SERVER-85892 - Fixed the error in the
$mergeoperation produced by the pipeline after the$documentsstage by correcting the namespace for pipeline validation - SERVER-91195 - Provided a generic backportable solution not to miss top-level timeseries collection options
- SERVER-91625 - Enabled indexed plans for expressions referencing system variables by updating the fallback mechanism to disable SBE (Slot-Based Execution Engine) when a system variable is referenced in an expression.
- WT-12643 - Fixed Eviction Server walk logic in WiredTiger so that it’s able to evict all pages
