##### [7.5.0](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/compare/v7.4.0...v7.5.0) (2026-07-07)

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 7.5.0 of the `mongodb` package!

##### Release Notes



###### Support for Queryable Encryption String Query GA in MongoDB 9.0

Queryable Encryption string queries are now available for MongoDB 9.0. Building on the technical preview introduced in earlier releases, this feature lets you run exact and range-style string matching against encrypted fields. As part of the promotion to GA, the API has been renamed:

- The `TextOpts` API is replaced with `StringOpts`.
- The `TextPreview` algorithm is replaced with `String`.
- The `prefix`, `suffix`, and `substring` query types are now generally available.
- The `prefixPreview`, `suffixPreview`, and `substringPreview` query types are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.



###### MongoClient.close() now closes in-use connections on all servers

Since v6.17.0, `MongoClient.close()` has eagerly closed checked-out (in-use) connections so that in-flight operations are interrupted promptly with a `MongoClientClosedError` instead of holding the client open. However, due to a bug, on replica sets and sharded clusters operations in flight on other servers were not interrupted, and their connections stayed open until the operations completed on their own. Calls to closeCheckedOutConnections() will now ensure all checked out connections are closed across all servers.

Thank you to @Nepomuk5665 and @sarthaksoni25 for bringing this to our attention/providing an initial implementation!
