February 2026 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb: Delivered three core feature areas improving query planning, ranking strategies, and developer debugging. Implemented count-scan identification in the Query Planner to optimize count queries, added configurable cost-based ranking (CBR) with rollout flags, and enhanced LLDB printers for NamespaceString and DatabaseName. Also fixed stability issues around fast count explanations and removed outdated fast count handling, with corresponding test updates. These changes improve planning performance, enable safer experimentation with ranking strategies, and enhance debugging productivity.

January 2026 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb focused on improving query planning accuracy and production safety. Implemented an enhancement to transform index bound intervals into $type match expressions to broaden and optimize query planning and execution. Fixed critical bug in key estimation for missing/null values on descending indexes, improving cardinality estimation and query results. Enforced that HistogramCE usage is gated to test commands with accompanying tests to prevent production misconfiguration. All changes include dedicated tests and reviews to bolster reliability and performance in production workloads.
