Neo4j 1.7.M03 – Feature Complete

The full general release of Neo4j 1.7 is now available, marking feature completeness and recommending its use for migrating test servers, client applications, and drivers in anticipation of the full release. A new cache implementation has been introduced, renamed to Garbage Collection Resistant (GCR) cache, which occupies a fixed size in memory to avoid garbage collection pauses, but requires careful configuration to achieve optimal performance. The GCR cache is only included with the enterprise edition of Neo4j, and feedback from users is encouraged to help improve the product.
