Release Highlights

This release introduces a new GridFS API to make it more convenient to work with files using PHP's existing filesystem functions.

A demonstration of this API can be found in the gridfs_stream_wrapper.php example script.

The MongoDB\Client class now has addSubscriber() and removeSubscriber() methods to make it easier to register monitoring classes on the underlying MongoDB\Driver\Manager object.
