Features

• [CPP-865] Unified driver
  • We have open sourced and merged DataStax Enterprise (DSE) driver features
    into a single, open source driver that supports both Apache Cassandra and
    DataStax products. Note: DSE-specific driver features still require DSE.
    • Support for the DSE authentication mechanisms including plaintext and LDAP
      (via GSSAPI)
    • Support for geospatial types including POINT, LINESTRING, and POLYGON
  • Supporting JIRA issues
    • [CPP-864] Merge DSE into core driver
    • [CPP-867] Merge DSE docs into core driver
    • [CPP-866] Move DSE uses of external authentication provider to internal interfaces
    • [CPP-861] Add CASS_USE_KERBEROS option and return errors from dependent auth API functions

• [CPP-885] Fix filtering load balancing policies (and remove duplicated load balancing policy chain)
• [CPP-884] Deprecate pending request timeouts metric and remove unused internal logic
• [CPP-871] Fix SSL cleanup on error conditions in mockssandra
• [CPP-855] Fix C*/DSE protocol lowering attempts when cass_cluster_set_use_beta_protocol_version() is true
