Release Notes
maxWireVersion is bumped to 29
Max wire version & max server version bumped in preparation for MongoDB LTS (v9.0).
Fixed SCRAM authentication for non-Node.js runtimes (e.g., Deno)
SCRAM-based authentication (the default mechanism for username/password connections) was broken when using the driver in non-Node.js environments such as Deno. The root cause was an implicit toString() call on byte arrays that produced incorrect output outside of Node.js. This fix ensures explicit UTF-8 string conversion is used throughout the SCRAM implementation, restoring authentication in Deno and other web-compatible runtimes.
