Neo4j 3.0 is coming soon and is now available for review as its first release candidate, featuring new features such as the "Bolt" binary protocol with official drivers for multiple languages, Java stored procedures, Neo4j Sync, operability changes, and a documentation library including developer and operations manuals. This release includes welcome bug fixes and performance improvements, but also has some known issues, notably that the Neo4j Browser only works with authenticated Bolt connections. The team invites users to provide feedback via public Discord or email to help test the software thoroughly and potentially win a rare blue Neo4j water bottle by sharing their thoughts on Twitter using hashtags #neo4j and #feedback.
