	SNOW-26451	Implemented CLIENT_SESSION_KEEP_ALIVE session parameter as a supported connection option.
ODBC Driver 2.12.93
	SNOW-26953	Fixed an issue which caused network disruptions to return an exception. Now, disruptions return a user error instead of an exception.
ODBC Driver 2.12.92
	SNOW-26215, . SNOW-26227	If the client tries to send a delete request to the server for a session that has already expired, the request is ignored.
ODBC Driver 2.12.91
