v4.1.1

Preview Features

• REST Server Integration: The REST server remains a preview feature for trial usage. It has been refactored to allow driver extensions (like the multiplexer) to register functions directly with the REST interface.
• REST Activation: The server can now be enabled via the NUODB_NODEJS_REST=true environment variable, which is now included by default in the .env file for Docker executions.

Bug Fixes

• REST Startup Failure: Resolved a regression introduced in v4.1 where a merge error prevented the REST server from starting.
• REST Implementation: Fixed the REST server integration by replacing the previous singleton pattern with a file-caching approach using the request directive.
• Test Suite Ordering: Refactored connection tests to correct improper scoping of Mocha describe and it functions, ensuring consistent and readable test output.

Key Dependencies

• Mocha: Test suite structure updated for better compatibility with standard execution patterns.
