+content: |
+  Starting in MongoDB 5.0, :binary:`~bin.mongod` no longer raises an
+  error when you use an update operator like :update:`${{operator}}`
+  with an empty operand expression ( ``{ }`` ). An empty update results
+  in no changes and no :term:`oplog` entry is created (meaning that the
+  operation is a no-op).
