Neo4j 1.4 M05 – “Kiruna Stol” Midsummer Celebration

The Neo4j team has released the final milestone build of Neo4j 1.4, marking a festive celebration in Sweden. This release includes refined auto indexing, new features to the REST API, enhanced Cypher query language features, and several performance improvements. The auto indexing framework now provides a polished user experience with improved management of indexes on behalf of users. The Cypher language has evolved to support powerful graph-matching queries, while the REST API now supports paging traversal results for large result sets. Performance enhancements include a 25% smaller memory footprint, faster typed relationships and small transactions, as well as improved traversing performance.
