Releases - MongoDB difference in 8.1.1 and 8.2.1

[lmarkov]

I saw something strange about the Rocket Chat Server releases.

In this version
https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/8.2.1
MongoDB: 8.0

but in previos like
https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/8.1.1
https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/tag/8.1.2
MongoDB: 8.2

Is this is a mistake? Is it possible something to get wring and broken if I update from 8.1.1 to 8.2.1 considering MongoDB versions difference? I'm using MongoDB: 8.2 with RocketChatServer 8.1.1.

fix #39689

It’s not a mistake
Rocket.Chat changed supported MongoDB version in 8.2
Yes, upgrading can break things if you stay on MangoDB 8.2

Good catch that is not a mistake actually. MongoDB 8.2 is a rapid release with a shorter support lifecycle, while MongoDB 8.0 is the LTS version with a longer support cycle. RC 8.2.1 deliberately dropped back to requiring MongoDB 8.0 minimum because it's more stable and has predictable long-term support.
