Release Highlight
Binary's
read()
returns a view of Uint8ArrayBinary's
read()
return type claimed it would returnnumber[]
or Uint8Array which was true in previous BSON versions that didn't always store a Uint8Array on the buffer property likeBinary
does today.read()
's length parameter did not respect the position value allowing reading bytes beyond the data that is actually stored in the Binary. This has been corrected.Additionally this method returned a view in Node.js environemnets and a copy in Web environments. it has been fixed to always return a view.
