 ==== Bug Fixes
+
 * https://jira.issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1592[JVMCBC-1592]:
 When fetching fresh cluster topology information for a bucket, the SDK now dispatches the request to a random eligible node instead of using a round-robin algorithm. Randomizing the node selection avoids a pathological condition where if the number of open buckets is equal to the number of nodes, and one of the nodes is degraded, the config refresh attempt for a particular bucket would fail repeatedly because it was always sent to the degraded node.
 * https://jira.issues.couchbase.com/browse/JCBC-2152[JCBC-2152]:
 Return the inserted document in the form of a TransactionGetResult instead of the old content from the Get operation.
 
 ==== Improvements

 * https://jira.issues.couchbase.com/browse/JVMCBC-1585[JVMCBC-1585]:
 When a thread executing clusterOrScope.queryStreaming() is interrupted, the thrown CancellationException now has the original InterruptedException as its cause.
