 ### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
 - All MongoDB and MySQL/MariaDB structured logging has been removed from the package. Logging is now PSR-3-only via `ClientBuilder::withLogger(LoggerInterface $logger, bool $logBodies = false)`; the client owns when/what to log, the application owns where logs are persisted. See [UPGRADE-3.0.md](UPGRADE-3.0.md) for the full migration path.
