Summary

Memgraph 1.2 has been released, enhancing its compatibility within the graph ecosystem by supporting the Bolt Protocol versions 4 and 4.1, which allows seamless integration with Neo4j's drivers and various programming languages. The update involves significant changes, including message handling improvements, serialization with PackStream, and efficient query execution using the PULL and DISCARD messages without retaining results in memory. The upgrade required careful code adjustments to maintain backward compatibility with Bolt v1 and the addition of new functionalities for handling transactions and query executions. Memgraph is also developing its own drivers to improve performance, despite supporting Neo4j's existing ones. This release aims to simplify the use of Memgraph for developers and data scientists by aligning with the latest protocol specifications and fostering a richer developer experience.
