2024.0.2

🎉 The big party release! 🎉

With this release we move the repository from github.com/neo4j-contrib to github.com/neo4j with Neo4j adding Cypher-DSL to the list of supported modules.
What we have now on our todo list is to incorporate our documentation into the official Neo4j docs, but apart from that, little will change immediate. Even our Maven coordinates will stay the same. You can however rely on the fact that Cypher-DSL is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks to @stumoore for supporting this!

2024.0.0

We're finally going 2024 with this release.
The biggest new feature in this release is that we now allow chaining statements that end with a YIELD clause, which lets you compose complex queries in a nicer way.

We also removed all deprecated constructs and methods we accumulated until now. If you ignored the warnings until now, you cannot do any longer. The latest SDN release is prepared for this Cypher-DSL release already, as we did the necessary changes over there already (See this spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j@2861e771333d8b9443026669763ddccd5be7659d[commit] for the necessary changes for example).

🚀 Features

• Allow chaining statements to yielding calls. (#964)
• Allow chainable foreach. (#988)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Actually make sortOrderDefaultExpression test what it is supposed to test.

2023.9.6

Heads up this is the last planned release in the 2023.x series.
The next release will be 2024.0.0, in which all deprecations apart from internalId on nodes and relationships will be removed.
With that change, the Cypher-DSL will have one single entry point for all operations: org.neo4j.cypherdsl.core.Cypher.

Nothing will change in terms of JDK compatibility.
Cypher-DSL 2024 will still require JDK 17, and will run just fine on JDK 21 and higher.
