The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 4.0.4 of the bson module!
This patch release fixes a regression introduced in v2 of the module, preventing round tripping of the deprecated BSON symbol type. We don't expect any users are actually using this value, but it is something used in internal testing of the driver and as such was deemed high priority to fix.
