6.x changelog

v6.0.0

This is the first stable v6 release of the Neo4j Go Driver.

The Vector type introduced in v6.0.0-alpha.1 has been redesigned to use a struct-based dbtype.Vector, aligning it with other dbtype structs and making it compatible with helper functions such as GetRecordValue and GetProperty.
