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.
