Summary

Removed support for parallel unordered bulk updates in bulkWrite() and renumbered subsequent features. Added support for bypassDocumentValidation in $merge.

Security assessment

Changes involve feature updates and bug fixes without explicit security context. The SASL authentication performance improvement is an optimization, not a security fix. No vulnerabilities or security incidents are mentioned.

-  2. Support for parallel unordered bulk updates in `bulkWrite()`.
-  3. Support for `$out`, `$collStats`, `$indexStats`, `$geoNear` using Planner v3. With Planner V3, the `$out` stage also supports writing to collections across different databases.
-  4. The aggregation pipeline now coalesces `$lookup` and `$unwind` stages even when the `$unwind` stage includes the `includeArrayIndex` parameter. Previously, this optimization was skipped when `includeArrayIndex` was present.
-  5. Performance enhancements to improve write throughput for db.r8g.8xlarge and larger instances running on I/O-Optimized configuration.
-  6. Exposing metric to monitor `Connections (active)` for instances. The limits can be found at our [Amazon DocumentDB Quotas and limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/devguide/limits.html#limits.instance) page.
-  7. Support for `$dateToParts` and `$dateFromParts` aggregation operators.
-  8. Command-level performance metrics are now available in CloudWatch for CRUD operations (`find`, `insert`, `findAndModify`, `update`, `delete`, `aggregate`, `count`, `distinct`, `getMore`, `abortTransaction`, `commitTransaction`), exposing `AvgDuration`, `P100Duration`, and `MaxConcurrent` dimensions for improved operational monitoring.
-  9. Fixed a bug in `$replaceRoot` behavior where `newRoot` fields containing boolean values of `true`/`false` or numeric values of `0`/`1` were missing in the output document.
-  10. Fixed a bug in `$indexOfArray` where valid queries were returning errors indicating that they were invalid.
-  11. The explain plan now includes `docsExamined` metrics in `executionStats` output.
-  12. Improved SASL authentication performance.
-  13. Optimized document updates to reduce storage overhead when index values remain unchanged and documents fit within existing pages.
-  14. Support for `bypassDocumentValidation` in `$merge`.
