+ 1.2.0
+
+
+ Before version 1.2.0 the driver would not use persistent connections
+ by default, and all connections would be closed as soon as a MongoDB
+ connection went out if scope. Since version 1.2.0 this is no longer
+ the case and it is a bad idea to call close as you might end up
+ overloading the server with connections under high load.
