Summary

The Neo4j GraphQL Library is undergoing significant changes with its roadmap for 2024-2025. Version 5, released in the first half of 2024, will transition to Long-Term Support (LTS) status until November 30, 2025, and continue to receive critical updates and security patches. This version will remain a stable choice for production use alongside Neo4j 4.x. The OGM (@neo4j/graphql-ogm) will also transition to LTS status but will no longer be in active development after October 2024. Version 6, released at the end of October 2024, will modernize the library and streamline its features, introducing changes such as a new subscription update engine and simplified configuration. This version acts as a transitional step for breaking changes between versions 5 and 7. The library's support timeline includes Version 5 until November 30, 2025, followed by active development and eventual release of Version 7 in early 2025. Users are advised to plan ahead and prepare for the upgrades, with recommendations to use Version 6 as a stepping stone between versions 5 and 7 or tolerate a breaking upgrade if possible.
