mongo-c-driver 1.17.0-beta

I'm pleased to announce version 1.17.0-beta of libbson and libmongoc,
the libraries constituting the MongoDB C Driver.

libbson

It is my pleasure to announce libbson 1.17.0 beta.

Features:

• Add the cmake option ENABLE_PIC to build static libraries with position independent code.

Notes:

• Deprecated "lib" prefixed artifacts are no longer produced when building on Windows.

libmongoc

It is my pleasure to announce the MongoDB C Driver 1.17.0 beta release.

Features:

• Support the MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism.
• Support the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) for OpenSSL 1.1.0+, Secure Transport, and Secure Channel.
• Support the "hint" option in operations using the update, replace, delete, and findAndModify commands.
• Improve behavior for retryable writes.
• Improve resuming behavior of change streams on server errors.
• Remove an extra round trip for SCRAM authentication.
• Remove restriction of 255 character collection namespaces.

Bug fixes:

• Fix possible use of invalidated streams during an unordered OP_QUERY bulk write, and when ending many pooled sessions at client destruction.
• Fix a crash when setting the crl_file TLS option for Secure Channel.
• Avoid emitting duplicate ServerChanged events when no change is observed during monitoring.
• Properly handle large SASL messages instead of erroring.

Notes:

• Deprecated "lib" prefixed artifacts are no longer produced when building on Windows.
