I’m pleased to announce version 1.8.1 of libbson and libmongoc, the libraries constituting the MongoDB C Driver.

libbson

This release removes a syntax error in the configure script that affects some shells, and fixes the encoding of the NEWS file.

libmongoc

This release fixes the following bugs:

  • Remove a syntax error in the configure script that affects some shells.
  • The configure script respects –with-zlib=system and –with-snappy=system.
  • The internal mongoc_server_description_t struct is properly reinitialized after a network error.
  • Fix the encoding of the NEWS file.
