The MongoDB Go driver team is pleased to release version 1.8.2 of the official Go driver.

This release adds the ability to configure the recently added maxConnecting rate limit via the SetMaxConnecting function or the maxConnecting= URI option. The maxConnecting value sets the maximum number of new connections that can be created simultaneously.

Documentation can be found on pkg.go.dev and the MongoDB documentation site. BSON library documentation is also available on pkg.go.dev. Questions and inquiries can be asked on the MongoDB Developer Community. Bugs can be reported in the Go Driver Jira where a list of current issues can be found.
