v5.0.0

The 5.0.x series of Neo4j-OGM uses the 6 series of the Neo4j Java driver underneath. It is not compatible with the previous major version 5 of the driver. We took the opportunity to finally remove all remains of the AutoIndexManager in Neo4j-OGM and would like to point out to https://github.com/michael-simons/neo4j-migrations[Neo4j-Migrations] for all things schema and index management. There are no further changes in the fundamental Object-mapping framework, any upgrade should be a drop-and-replace update.

• [refactor] Upgrade to Neo4j Java driver 6.
• [refactor] Remove AutoIndexManager for good.

v4.0.21

This most likely the last release of the 4.0.x line. The next major will be 5.0.x, shipping with the latest Neo4j-Java-Driver (which will be 6.0.0).
