Dear Graphistas, After some quiet time that I spend on other important issues, we're back on our regular release cycle/rhythm.
We discussed the future SDG roadmap with our CEO Emil and decided to work first on the issues that were reported by our users here on the mailing list, on the spring forums and on twitter. So primarily we updated the dependencies to Neo4j 1.4.M04 and AspectJ (1.6.12.M1), the latter fixing some issues. With the new Neo4j release we are also able to start working some important new features. The most interesting one is the adoption of the query language "cypher" which is now accessible from NodeEntities (dynamic annotated fields, introduced methods) and repositories (annotated repository interface methods). (https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATAGRAPH-91) Example, NodeEntity-field: @GraphQuery("start me=(%d) match (me)-[:works_at]->(company)<-[:works_at]-(colleague) return colleague") Iterable<Person> colleagues; Example, Repository: interface PersonRepository extends GraphRepository<Person> { @GraphQuery("start person=(%d) match (person)-[:boss]->(boss) return boss") Person findBoss(Person developer); } We also accommodate for the change of allowing self-relationships. Another annoyance for SDG users - the need to specify an elementClass on @RelatedTo annotations has also been removed this change will also be added to the other annotations that we use. We would like to get your feedback on those changes and also on Spring Data Graph in general, so please check it out and get back to us. And please spread the word: http://twitter.com/#!/neo4j/statuses/80503228319547392 Cheers Michael Announcement: http://www.springsource.org/node/3152 JIRA: https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATAGRAPH Project Page: http://www.springsource.org/spring-data/neo4j Forum: forum.springsource.org/forumdisplay.php?f=80 Github: http://github.com/springsource/spring-data-graph Download: http://www.springsource.com/download/community?project=Spring%20Data%20Neo4j _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
