This feature release of the Ruby driver for MongoDB adds two major features:

• Client-side encryption
• Extended JSON parsing

The following notable changes and bug fixes have been made since 2.12.0.rc0:

• RUBY-2219 Force read preference primaryPreferred in Single topology
• RUBY-2176 Provide a descriptive error message in CSE when AWS key or secret are empty strings
• RUBY-2189 Restart SRV monitor in Cluster#reconnect!

This release of the driver includes all bug fixes that are part of the 2.10-stable and 2.11-stable branches.

This release replaces version 2.12.0, which was erroneously created from the master tree and has been removed.
