v6.8.1

6.8.1 (2024-09-06)

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 6.8.1 of the mongodb package!

Release Notes

Fixed enableUtf8Validation option

Starting in v6.8.0 we inadvertently removed the ability to disable UTF-8 validation when deserializing BSON. Validation is normally a good thing, but it was always meant to be configurable and the recent Node.js runtime issues (v22.7.0) make this option indispensable for avoiding errors from mistakenly generated invalid UTF-8 bytes.

Bug Fixes

• NODE-6355: respect utf8 validation option when iterating cursors (#4220) (886cefb)
