 * Added `FailResponseException` to `gremlin-driver` which is thrown `fail()` 
step is triggered on the server making it more consistent with embedded 
behavior.
 * Fixed conjoin has incorrect null handling.
 * Expanded `gremlin-python` CI matrix to test against Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 
3.12, and 3.13.
+* Automated version propagation to Python (`__version__`), JavaScript 
(`package-lock.json`), and Gremlint (`package-lock.json`) during the Maven 
build.
 * Add Node 26 support for `gremlin-javascript` and `gremlint`.

 Python, .NET and Javascript do not use the snapshot model the JVM does, 
however, the build is smart in that it will
 dynamically generate a development version number for the GLV artifacts when 
"-SNAPSHOT" is in the `pom.xml`.
 
+NOTE: Running `mvn clean install -DskipTests` automatically propagates the 
Maven version to all GLV artifacts with the
+correct per-language suffix conventions: Python uses `.devN` (e.g. 
`3.7.7.dev1`), JavaScript/npm uses `-alphaN` (e.g.
+`3.7.7-alpha1`), and .NET/Go use the raw Maven version (e.g. 
`3.7.7-SNAPSHOT`). This includes `package-lock.json` in
+both `gremlin-javascript` and `gremlint`, and `__version__` in 
`gremlin-python`. No manual version edits are required.

 If you wish to verify that `mvn deploy` works before doing it officially then:
 
 * For Python, use the `testpypi` test environment by updating the 
`gremlin-python/pom.xml`.
