BDR4.1.1Bug fixPrevent a potential segfault in bdr.drop_node for corner cases (RT81900)
BDR4.1.1Bug fixPrevent use of CAMO or Eager All Node transactions in combination with transaction streaming.

This may require CAMO deployments to adjust their configuration to disable transaction streaming, see Transaction Streaming Configuration.
