Cortex API 2.17.1

April 11, 2022

New Features

Mongoose Update

The Mongoose library is updated from version 4 to version 5 to address a number of MongoDB-related operational issues.

Updates to mdctl environment import process

The following changes are made to the environment import process:

• Backups and triggers are false by default during import.

• Policies are disabled on environment imports and package install.

• You can add memos before, during, and after an import or export.

Expression operator improvements

We made some improvements to the following operators:

• Added init command to $moment

• Enabled $let to pass local values to $dbNext

• Added a third parameter to $pathTo to allow path setting and deep object creation

Temporary configuration reader

You can read non-Cortex and non-generic-Axon configurations based on the needs of the Looking Glass web portal.

Ability to retroute core objects

You now can reroute core system objects. Previously, you could only reroute custom objects.

Support for serialize and deserialize during HTTP requests

Support is provided to parse, stringify, and output json, ejson, bson, and mjson.
