 We are starting the new year with a major feature addition!
 The latest version of FerretDB v1.18.0 has just been released with support for basic OpLog functionality, along with other exciting features.

 OpLog (operations log) functionality has been one of our most requested features, and it would make it possible for developers to build real-time applications using the Meteor framework.
 We made this a priority in the last quarter and are super excited that it's now available.
 We can't wait to see what you build with FerretDB!
