This release has a breaking change about an implicit wait. Ruby client sets 0 seconds as implicit wait by default instead of 20 seconds. The behaviour follows the default spec in WebDriver.

      # create session
client <---> proxy server <---> appium server <> devices

client <----------------------> appium server <> devices
