Ruby driver 2.5.0 and bson gem 4.3.0 are released

[Emily Stolfo]

Ruby driver version 2.5.0 and bson gem version 4.3.0 are released. This latest version of the Ruby driver together with the latest version of the bson gem support the recent 3.6 release of the MongoDB server.

They include many new features and a number of bug fixes. Please note that support for MongoDB server version 2.4 has been dropped with this version of the driver.

The driver release notes are found here:
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-ruby-driver/releases/tag/v2.5.0

The bson gem release notes are found here:
https://github.com/mongodb/bson-ruby/releases/tag/v4.3.0


Both gems are available from RubyGems. The latest driver version depends on bson gem 4.3.0, so installing the driver (the mongo gem) will also install the bson gem:

gem install mongo -v 2.5.0

If you’d like to install the bson gem specifically, you may do so with the following:

gem install bson -v 4.3.0

Please report any issues in our RUBY project in Jira: jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY

Thank you
