libmongoc 1.1.5

[A. Jesse Jiryu Davis]

Good news, everyone!

A new libmongoc release is now available at:

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/download/1.1.5/mongo-c-driver-1.1.5.tar.gz

libmongoc is the C Driver for MongoDB, a library for building high-performance applications that communicate with MongoDB in the C language. It can also serve as the base for drivers in higher-level languages.

This is a patch release with small bug fixes:

• The fsync and j write concern flags now imply acknowledged writes
  
• Prevent using fsync or j with conflicting w=0 write concern
  
• Obey socket timeout consistently in TLS/SSL mode
  
• Return an error promptly after a network hangup in TLS mode
  
• Prevent crash using SSL in FIPS mode
  
• Always return NULL from mongoc_database_get_collection_names on error
  
• Fix version check for GCC 5 and future versions of Clang
  
• Fix warnings and errors building on various platforms
  
• Add configure flag to enable/disable shared memory performance counters
  
• Minor docs improvements, and fix links from C Driver docs to Libbson docs

With this release, libmongoc abandons the convention that odd-numbered patch versions indicate unstable releases. We switch to simple semantic versioning: 1.1.5 is a stable release with bug fixes since 1.1.4. During subsequent development the version will be "1.1.6-dev".

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this version of libmongoc.
