bson 4.5.0

v4.5.0

on Node.js NPM

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 4.5.0 of the bson module!

Release Highlights

The Timestamp constructor can now be called with a more convenient object parameter: new Timestamp({ t: number, i: number }); the existing new Timestamp(increment, timestamp) option has been deprecated.

Furthermore, this minor version significantly improves deserialization performance for buffer inputs and corrects an issue with our ESM bundles resulting from a reference to global which does not exist in web environments.
