Libbson-1.5.0

It is my pleasure to announce Libbson-1.5.0.

New features and bug fixes:

• New BSON Type, Decimal128 (bson_decimal128_t) along with the following
  new functions and helpers:
  • bson_decimal128_to_string()
  • bson_decimal128_from_string()
  • bson_iter_decimal128()
  • bson_iter_overwrite_decimal128()
  • BSON_ITER_HOLDS_DECIMAL128()
  • bson_append_decimal128()
  • BSON_APPEND_DECIMAL128()
  • BCON_DECIMAL128()
    See the documentations for further details.
• bson_validate and bson_iter_next now validate that BSON boolean values are
  0 or 1. Before, any non-zero value was considered true.
• bson_append_code_with_scope now preserves the "code with scope" type
  if scope is an empty, non-NULL BSON document.
• BSON "code" and "code with scope" types are properly translated to JSON of
  the form '{"$code": "...", "$scope": {...}}'.
• bson_json_reader functions now always validate UTF-8.
• JSON parsing now preserves integer width.
• bson_strtoll now matches stroll: it detects range errors, and when
  parsing octal it stops at non-octal digits and returns what it parsed
  instead of setting errno.
• New flag BSON_VALIDATE_EMPTY_KEYS causes bson_validate to fail if a document
  contains zero-length field names.
• The configure option "--enable-hardening" had had no effect. It is removed
  in favor of system-wide compiler configuration.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of this release.

Libbson-1.4.0

It is my pleasure to announce Libbson-1.4.0.

New features and bug fixes:

• bson_reader_reset seeks to the beginning of a BSON buffer.
• bson_steal efficiently transfers contents from one bson_t to another.
• Fix Windows compile error with BSON_EXTRA_ALIGN disabled.
• Potential buffer overrun in bson_strndup.
• bson_oid_to_string optimization for MS Visual Studio
• bson_oid_is_valid accepts uppercase hex characters.
• bson_json_reader_read aborted on some invalid Extended JSON documents.
• All man page names now begin with "bson_" to avoid install conflicts.
• Error messages sometimes truncated at 63 chars.

This release tentatively supports the new BSON decimal type when built with
"./configure --enable-experimental-features", or with
"cmake -DENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=ON", but this feature may change
between now and libbson 1.5.
