 ** Bug
-    * [PHP-1442] - php_mongo_stream_notify_io() segfault with stream context options
-    * [PHP-1445] - MongoClient does not accept boolean false as "ssl" option
+    * [PHP-1426] - Ensure buffer lengths are checked in bson_to_zval()
+    * [PHP-1448] - Ensure DBPointer namespace length reads as little-endian
+    * [PHP-1450] - Ensure strings are null-terminated in bson_to_zval()
+    * [PHP-1453] - Ensure BSON buffer is checked before reading regex pattern/flags
 
 ** Improvement
-    * [PHP-1446] - Log original string values for parsed boolean options
+    * [PHP-1449] - Ensure value is freed when bson_to_zval() encounters an error
+    * [PHP-1452] - bson_decode() should require exactly one document in buffer
