Many changes have gone into this release!

TL;DR

  • C99 types (from C89).
  • JSON parsing.
  • Lots of Operating System support, including Windows.
  • Parallel Test Suite.
  • Revamped build system.
  • A couple ABI breaks.

First off, 0.6.0 has gone through a significant amount of build system cleanup. This should simplify using libbson as a submodule for those that wish to do so. For example, the mongo-c-driver now does this using autotools.

Windows Vista and higher is now supported as a build target through the use of cmake. See README.md for the instructions. Other platforms should continue to use autotools.

The test suite has been improved and more tests added. We now generate random seeds on every run to help catch more errors with additional fuzzing passes. By default, the test suite will run all tests in parallel with subprocesses. This should speed up execution of `make test' for contributors.

bson_string_t went through an ABI break to support power-of-two growth.

JSON parsing has been added through the bson_json_reader_t type. You can also now use bson_init_from_json() for a simplified interface.

Types were revamped to appear to be using C99 types. If C99 types are available, they will be used. If not, they will be emulated. This means you can just go on using uint64_t and similar. We even use bool now.

Many functions have been made portable to deal with inconsistencies with Win32.

This release has been tested on the following operating systems:

  • RedHat Enterprise 5, 6, and 7 beta.
  • CentOS 6.5
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  • Fedora 20
  • Windows 7
  • FreeBSD 10
  • DragonFly BSD
  • Solaris 11
  • SmartOS
  • mingw64

Thanks again and enjoy using libbson!
