+- The default `mongodb` version has been updated from 5.0 to 7.0.
+  For more information, see the compatibility changes for MongoDB [6.0](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/6.0-compatibility/) and [7.0](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/7.0-compatibility/).

 - `unifi` has been updated to UniFi 8.
   `unifi7` was removed as it is vulnerable to CVE-2024-42025 and required a version of MongoDB that has reached end of life.
