Description
What is changing?
Flipped the order we parse bytes from the float array depending on platform endianness
Is there new documentation needed for these changes?
No.
What is the motivation for this change?
Floats will not serialize or deserialize correctly on big endian systems
Release Highlight
Fixed float byte-wise handling on big endian systems
A recent change to the BSON library started parsing and serializing floats using a
Float64Array. When reading the bytes from this array the ordering is dependent on the platform it is running on and we now account for that ordering.Double check the following
