20 days is over, it’s time to report our progress.

Robomongo now fully supports MongoDB 3.0 and 3.2 databases, including WiredTiger storage engine. And we continue to support MongoDB 2.4 and 2.6.

Inside Robomongo we now use MongoDB 3.2 shell engine. It means that you now have support for the latest shell commands.

Here is how it looks on my Mac OS X 10.11:

And this is how it looks on my Xubuntu 14.04:

Linux

Yesterday we packed Robomongo 0.9.0-RC1 into self-contained archive for Linux. If you are using Linux, download x86_64 version here:

Robomongo 0.9.0-RC1 for Linux x86_64

Unpack and run bin/robomongo.sh

Mac OS X

Update: We already released version for Mac OS. You do not need to build it from the sources anymore.

In nearest days we will prepare package for Mac OS X. But it is possible to build Robomongo 0.9.0 for Mac OS X from sources today. It is not simple, but if you already have Scons 2.4, CMake 3.2, Qt 5.5 and Xcode tools installed you can do:

Download and build Robomongo shell (our fork of MongoDB):

$ git clone https://github.com/paralect/robomongo-shell$ cd robomongo-shell$ git checkout roboshell-v3.2$ scons mongo --release -j8

Download and build Robomongo:

$ git clone https://github.com/paralect/robomongo$ cd robomongo$ git checkout v0.9$ export ROBOMONGO_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/qt-5.5/5.5/clang_64;/path/to/robomongo-shell"$ bin/configure && bin/build && bin/run

But it is better to wait couple of days until we will prepare package for you.

Windows

In nearest days we will prepare build for Windows. Currently it is not possible to build Robomongo 0.9.0 for Windows even from sources. We will work on Windows version after Mac OS X version, because it is a bit quicker for us to release version for Mac OS. In any way, all three “big” platforms are equally important for us! Stay tuned 🙂

This is RC version

Please do not use RC (Release Candidate) version on your production databases. Because of limited time, we are unable to collect enough feedback about this version. We entered testing stage only yesterday, so please give us required amount of time to run our internal tests. Subscribe to our Twitter (@Robomongo) to be notified when 0.9.0 will be finally released.

List of known limitations of current version:

1. SSH support was disabled
2. SSL support was disabled
3. Log messages are not printed in Logs panel at the bottom
4. Validation of JSON/BSON records doesn’t work in JSON Editor

If you are using SSH or SSL in Robomongo 0.8.5, we recommend to backup your existing ~/.config/robomongo/robomongo.json, because configuration settings for SSH and SSL will be removed.

Thank you!

This is all because of you and your support! We received hundreds of messages from the community and now we see how Robomongo is important for many of us.

After the release of 0.9.0 for all platforms, we will focus on Replica Sets. This is a shame that Robomongo doesn’t support it. It will be supported soon!
