Description

## Suggestion

Please consider releasing a updated version with updated dependencies. This package does not appear to have received any major updates since 2 and a half year, an eternity in term of computer science lifetime.
The MongoDB driver vesion used in current 6.x vesion is also not rceiving updates since 2 years and does not support latest encryption standards offered by mongo 6+.

The V7 version of this package is in alpha state since 3 years with and is already DOA having itself mongodb drivers not udated by over one year.

Review the current 6.x dependency declarations and compare them with the alpha V7 version, focusing on the MongoDB driver and encryption support for MongoDB 6+. Determine the supported dependency versions and release scope first; done would require an agreed update and a published package version.
