v4.7.0

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 4.7.0 of the bson package!

Release Highlights

This release adds automatic UUID support. Now when serializing or deserializing BSON you can work directly with the UUID type without explicit conversion methods. The UUID class is now a subclass of binary so all existing code will continue to work (including the explicit conversion methods .toUUID/.toBinary). The same automatic support for UUID is also present in EJSON .parse/.stringify.

Take a look at the following for the expected behavior:

const document = BSON.deserialize(bytes)
// { uuid: UUID('xxx') }
BSON.serialize(document)
// Buffer < document with uuid (binary subtype 4) >

Special thanks to @aditi-khare-mongoDB for all her hard work on this feature!! 🎉

v4.6.5

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 4.6.5 of the bson package!

Release Highlights

Along with some other bug fixes listed below in this release we've fixed the float parser logic for both deserialize and serialize to use JS Dataview APIs. The most delightful part of this change is an improvement to performance of serializing 64-bit floats. 🎉 🐎
