      the fallback implementation relying on numification and giving
      warnings.

    [Bugs]

    - [PERL-641] Fix back-compatible BSON::Timestamp constructor

      integers; it's now a floating point value as documented.

v1.2.0    2016-08-17 15:51:50-04:00 America/New_York

    [Added]

    - Added dt_type support for Mango::BSON::Time

    - Added 'from_epoch' constructor method to BSON::OID

    [Documentation]

    - Hash::Ordered is not yet supported

v1.0.0    2016-07-06 12:39:38-04:00 America/New_York

    [!!! Incompatible Changes !!!]

    - Internal representation of BSON::Bool changed to make it a subclass
      of boolean.pm for conistency with other "boolean" type classes on
      CPAN.

    - All BSON type wrapper classes are now immutable; accessors have
      been changed to read-only.

    [*** Deprecations ***]

    - BSON::Binary deprecated in favor of the new BSON::Bytes module.

    - BSON::Bool deprecated in favor of direct use of boolean.pm.

    - BSON::ObjectID deprecated in favor of the new BSON::OID module.

    - The 'ixhash' option is deprecated in favor of 'ordered' and the
      resulting tied object is no longer guaranteed to be Tie::IxHash.
      This will allow future optimization, as Tie::IxHash is extremely
      slow.

    [API]

    - BSON module is now object-oriented, with an API and options directly
      compatible with the MongoDB driver.  Options set as constructor
      attributes apply to all encoding/decoding, unless options given to methods
      override them.

    - Added a method for inflation of MongoDB's extended JSON format to
      BSON type wrapper objects.

    [BSON types]

    - Added new type wrappers to cover all BSON Types, including
      forthcoming Decimal128 (but Decimal128 is still considered
      'experimental' and subject to change).

    - Rationalized/harmonized BSON type classes for compatibility with
      pre-existing MongoDB BSON classes. Classes that could not be made to
      interoperate are deprecated as listed above.

    [Bug fixes]

    - Fixed numerous encoding and decoding bugs revealed by greater test
      coverage (e.g. fixes to UTF-8 encoding/decoding).

    [Testing]

    - Significantly improved test coverage, including tests using a
      standardized BSON corpus.

    - Skip threads tests before 5.8.5 because of problems with
      weak references during global destruction.

    - Require newer Path::Tiny with full-featured "basename" method.

    [Prereqs]

    - Bump boolean prereq to 0.45 to avoid conflicts between some versions
      of JSON::XS and older boolean.pm releases that had read-only
      singletons.

    - Bump Moo prereq to 2.002004 to work around core sub shadowing
      bug in generated constructor.

    [~Internal Changes~]

    - Pure-perl implementation split into a separate module to avoid
      its load time in the future when an XS implementation becomes
      available.

    - Will prefer BSON::XS (when released) or fallback to BSON::PP;
      PERL_BSON_BACKEND environment variable will override.
