Summary

The RNeo4j package has been updated with several new functions, including `getPaths`, which retrieves a list of path objects with a Cypher query. The `nodes` function extracts the node objects from a path object, and the `rels` function extracts the relationship objects. Two new functions, `shortestPath` and `allShortestPaths`, find a single shortest path or all shortest paths between two node objects, respectively. The package also includes additional sample datasets that can be imported into Neo4j, allowing users to quickly begin exploring its capabilities. Furthermore, pull requests have been added to allow users to open the Neo4j browser in RStudio's viewer pane and set custom HTTP options, making it easier to interact with the database.
