libbson and libmongoc 1.1.6

[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 bug fixes:

• mongoc_bulk_operation_execute now coalesces consecutive update operations into a single message to a MongoDB 2.6+ server, yielding huge performance gains. Same for remove operations. (Inserts were always coalesced.)
  
• Large numbers of insert operations are now properly batched according to number of documents and total data size.
  
• GSSAPI / Kerberos auth now works.
  
• The driver no longer tries three times in vain to reconnect to a primary, so socketTimeoutMS and connectTimeoutMS now behave *closer* to what you expect for replica sets with down members. A full fix awaits 1.2.0.
  

I snuck in a feature:

• mongoc_matcher_t now supports basic subdocument and array matching
  

I also released libbson 1.1.6 to maintain version parity; it's identical to libbson 1.1.5.

Full release notes for libmongoc 1.1.6 are here:
