Changes in 0.98:
- This release includes a new memory callback vtable to help in embedding
situations that have their own custom allocator such as various language
runtimes.
- A few compilation fixes for various C++ compilers have also been included.
Changes in 0.8.4:
- Alignment fixes for Solaris Studio C compiler.
- RPM and Debian packaging helpers.
- bson_gettimeofday() has dropped the deprecated timezone field used when
calling posix gettimeofday(). This eases portability concerns. It is
technically an ABI break, but since the field was never set, in reality
it shouldn't be an issue.
- Multi-byte optimizations for bson_oid_to_string() have been disabled on
non-x86 based platforms. This should aid in architecture portability.
- The JSON parser can now support $numberLong.
- bson_ascii_strtoll() has been added, which is a portable strtoll()
implementation. This is primarily useful for Windows users and is used
by the JSON parser.
- A bug was fixed in bson_iter_find_descendant() where the wrong field
could be matched if it's prefix matched the query.
- bson_array_as_json() has been added to convert a bson_t as a top-level
array.
Changes in 0.8.2
----------------
* A fix for BCON when used from C++.
* Change bson_next_power_of_two() to accept size_t. This should not be
an ABI break since it is static inline.
Changes in 0.8.0
----------------
This cycle includes much, much more documentation for your perusing. There is
much more cross-referencing and structure for your navigation pleasure.
We've improved support for Libbson on a few more exotic platforms. SPARC
support is looking pretty good these days.
You'll also find some new examples in this release to help you get started a
bit faster. If there is something you'd like to see, just ask!
There are a few ABI breaks this cycle, as we are well on the road to a 1.0 and
would like things as clean as possible. I anticipate a few more during the next
couple of cycles, but we will try to keep them to a minimum. With that said,
you *WILL* need to recompile your application against 0.8.0.
libbson is a library providing useful routines related to building,
parsing, and iterating BSON documents. It is a useful base for those
wanting to write high-performance C extensions to higher level
languages such as python, ruby, or perl.
