      Details

      As of v4.2.0 ObjectId's began interpreting strings of length 12 as UTF8 instead of latin1. We should remove support for strings that aren't exactly hex strings to make construction from string input clear and lack a variation of interpretations.

      AC

      • Only allow strings of length 24 that contain hex characters
      • Remove strings of length 12 from objectId constructor
      • Update tests
