This fork has had a few improvements by ourselves as well as several PR's merged from the original mgo repo that are currently awaiting review. Changes are mostly geared towards performance improvements and bug fixes, though a few new features have been added.
Only mongoDB versions from 3.0 onwards are supported.
Further PR's (with tests) are welcome, but please maintain backwards compatibility.
Detailed documentation of the API is available at GoDoc.
A sub-package that implements the BSON specification is also included, and may be used independently of the driver.
mgo is known to work well on (and has integration tests against) MongoDB v3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6.
MongoDB 4.0 is currently experimental - we would happily accept PRs to help improve support!
