The MongoDB Go driver team is pleased to release version 1.8.4 of the official Go driver.

This release resolves a bug that prevented an empty readPreferenceTags value in a connection string from acting as a "fail-safe" read preference tag that matches any eligible member (see documentation here).

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.
