Libbson 0.2.4

This release includes some more performance improvements and bug fixes.

It contains an important fix for dealing with invalid string lengths that could cause an integer overflow when checking to see if the string length fits within the end of the buffer.

There is preliminary support for Solaris on x86_64 and SPARC.

Generating OIDs is now simpler with the use of bson_context_get_default(). This function will return a thread-safe generic bson_context_t implementation. Alternatively, you may pass NULL to bson_oid_init() for the context and the default context is automatically used.

The fuzz tests now use srand() with a 32-bit integer derived from /dev/urandom.

Endianess conversions are now performed by __builtin_bswap*() functions when available with the GCC compiler.

Endianness conversions for the double type are now properly handled on big-endian systems.

bson_reinit() has been added to cleanup code that needs to destroy and then initialize a bson_t.

Validation of Code with Scope fields was absent from bson_validate(). This is now supported.

Happy Hacking!
