<p>After a year in Beta, we're proud to announce the General Availability of <strong><code>mongosh</code></strong>, the new (and default!) shell for MongoDB! It is compatible with MongoDB 4.0 and later, so you don’t have to wait to upgrade to MongoDB 5.0 to start using it. You can <a href="https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell">download it and try it out now</a>!</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Think:<br> -- Syntax highlighting<br> -- World-class extensibility<br> -- Local and global registries of reusable and modifiable 'snippets'</p>

<p>That old war-horse known as <strong><code>mongo</code></strong> isn't going away immediately, but is deprecated as of MongoDB 5.0 (What is MongoDB 5.0? Tune into <a href="https://mongodb.live/">MongoDB Live</a> tomorrow, 13 July, to find out!).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Note that <strong><code>mongosh</code></strong> is not bundled with MongoDB Server, but can be easily downloaded from the MongoDB Download page.</p>
