This new major release of the Ruby BSON gem is now available. Install it as usual via Rubygems:

$ gem install bson

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'bson'

The following changes are included:

• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-1114 “JRuby Driver and Java Driver Libraries are incompatible” – JRuby package name changed to org.bson_ruby (implementation detail – JRuby programs should be using ‘require “bson”’ instead of importing these packages directly)
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-1410 “Implement ObjectID spec” – brings bson-ruby into full spec compliance with ObjectID generation
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-1806 “Create an exception hierarchy” – errors raised by the library are now descended from BSON::Error
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-2056 “Allow all subtype values in BSON::Binary” – BSON::Binary now accepts both symbols and integers as subtypes
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-2783 “Return a String without ‘$oid’ from BSON::ObjectId#as_json and #to_json”

• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-3109 “Remove all references to dots and dollars in BSON” – removes “validating_keys” from the API
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-3116 “Investigate leftover code for Rexgexp integer options”
• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-3137 “Use SecureRandom to initialize ObjectId counter”

• https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-3306 “Investigate using Ruby’s internal random utility instead of rand for ObjectId’s” – now using SecureRandom internally to generate the random portions of BSON::ObjectID’s.
