Summary

Neo4j 3.5 offers improved performance, utilization, and security for the Neo4j Graph Platform, a native graph database that is both DevOps- and DBA-friendly. The release features full-text indexing and search, faster sorting with index-backed ORDER BY, and a new Go language driver, among other capabilities. Native indexes have been completed, delivering dramatic performance improvements, while off-heap transaction state allows for better control of memory usage and more predictable behavior under heavy write loads. Security features include brute-force attack prevention, encryption of the cluster discovery service, and support for the X.509 standard extension for Subject Alternative Name (SAN) and Hostname verification.
