      Behavioral Change

      The Couchbase Node.js SDK now publishes prebuilt binaries that statically link against BoringSSL. The change removes the OpenSSL requirement from the SDK when using a published prebuild. If building the SDK from source, the build will default to statically linking with the OpenSSL provided from the Node.js version being used. Build options are availalbe if wanting to build from source and statically link against BoringSSL.

      • CXXCBC-374: Return 'bucket_exists' error when the bucket already exists during 'create' operation (#449).

      • CXXCBC-359: Reduced the default timeout for idle HTTP connections to 1 second. The previous default (4.5 seconds) was too close to the 5-second server-side timeout, and could lead to spurious request failures (#448).
