mongodb (1:2.6.11-1) experimental; urgency=medium When upgrading MongoDB to 2.6, keep in mind that only upgrades from 2.4 are supported. If you wish to upgrade from previous MongoDB versions, you have to upgrade to 2.4 first. Furthermore, MongoDB 2.6 now enforces document constraints in a more strict manner, specifically: * Index key length limit: 2.6 implements a stronger enforcement of the limit on index key. Index creation, document inserts and updates may fail if an index entry exceeds the limit. * Field name restrictions: Updates no longer support saving field names containing a dot ('.'), or beginning with a dollar sign ('$'). Note that these restrictions on field names have been introduced in MongoDB 2.2. To check your existing database for compatibility with MongoDB 2.6, run $ db.upgradeCheckAllDBs() on a MongoDB 2.6 client connected to your existing MongoDB 2.4 database. Additionally, MongoDB 2.6 introduces a new authorization model, which requires manual action to migrate to. For a full list of changes as well as instructions on how to upgrade standalone servers and replica sets, see: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/ -- Apollon Oikonomopoulos Wed, 20 Jan 2016 13:45:29 +0200
