Release Notes

**Please read 2.10.0 release notes for upgrade notes if you're upgrading from Carbon 2.9.x or earlier.***

* Fixed: the `Install-CCertificate` function causes an extra file to be written to the Windows directory where private
keys are saved. Depending on your environment, this could put many, many extra very small files on the file system or a
full disk.
* Fixed: the `Install-CCertificate` function could fail to install a certificate with a private key in a remote
computer's LocalMachine store if you passed in a certificate object to install.
* Fixed: the `Install-CCertificate` function always installs a certificate even if it exists in the destination store.
Depending on your environment, this could put many, many extra very small files on the file system or a full disk. Use
the `-Force` switch to always install a certificate even if it already exists in the destination store.
* Added a `-Force` switch to the `Install-CCertificate` function to force certificates to be installed if they already
exist in the destination store.
