    MongoDB 2.6 released
    Version
    2.6     of the MongoDB document database system is available. "We
    re-wrote the entire query execution engine to improve scalability, and took
    our first step in building a sophisticated query planner by introducing
    index intersection. We’ve made the codebase easier to maintain, and made it
    easier to implement new features. Finally, MongoDB 2.6 lays the foundation
    for massive improvements to concurrency in MongoDB 2.8, including
    document-level locking.    " See the release
    notes     for details.

    [$] Much ado about debugging
    Recently, an interaction problem between systemd and the kernel was
    reported. After a calm discussion, developers of both projects found ways
    in which behavior could be improved and set about coding up the solutions.
    The technical press was filled with glowing reports on another success of
    collaborative problem solving... or, perhaps, most of the preceding text is
    entirely fictional and the systemd "debug flag" problem spiraled out of
    control in several ways at once.
