Upgrading to 4.12.0.893

Pre-Requisites

This release includes version 4.4 of the MongoDb database server. This version requires the Visual Studio C++ 2019 x64 redistributable library. Technically this has been part of the Witness pre-requisites since the release of 4.11, however we recommend this is checked before installing Build 1099. Please see Software Prerequisites for more information.

Info

Although the minimum requirement is C++ 2019, the recommended redistributable library is now Visual Studio C++ 2015-2022 x64. This will provide support for the upcoming releases which will all have newer versions of the MongoDb server.

.NET 8 Upgrade

This version is built on the latest Microsoft .NET technology stack. All necessary support files are shipped with the product so additional action is required, however be aware that .NET 8 is only supported on the following versions of Windows:

  • Windows 10 Build 1607 and newer.

  • Windows 11 Build 22000 and newer.

  • Windows Server 2012 and newer.

Database Authentication

Database authentication is supported in this release. If you need to implement it then please refer to Database Authentication. All configuration associated with the database authentication is done after installation.

Log Rotate

This version now automatically installs a Windows Scheduler Task to rotate the MongoDb logs every 24 hours. It is strongly recommended that any existing logs associated with older methods of log rotation are deleted before the task first runs to avoid any potential conflicts and confusion.

Info

Note that the Log Rotate task requires the necessary password details to access the database once authentication is enabled. Configuration of the task is covered in the Database Authentication documentation.
