This release comes with not that many new features as we were busy making APOC ready for Neo4j 3.4.

Thanks so much to Stefan Armbruster for handling that large chunk of work.

Features/Improvements

• apoc.load.xls for loading data from Excel files, supports both xls and xlsx
• Improvements for apoc.group.nodes, e.g. filtering of rel-types or of outputs by counts
• Accessor functions for (virtual) entities (e.g. to postfilter them by property or label)
• dijkstra algorithm supporting multiple results
• date.format(null) returns null, also add ISO8601 convenience format

Bugfixes

• fix for apoc.periodic.iterate with statements that already started with WITH
• fix for deleted nodes in explicit index
• apoc.cypher.runTimeboxed uses separate thread
• Missing Iterator Utils in apoc .jar file
• Add missing apoc.coll.combinations()
