This release brings news features, general improvements and dependency updates.

The driver has been upgraded to Java 17 and it is the baseline Java version for this release.

The org.neo4j.driver:neo4j-java-driver artifact no longer includes shaded Netty and Project Reactor dependencies and replaces the org.neo4j.driver:neo4j-java-driver-slim introduced in 4.4 series.

A new org.neo4j.driver:neo4j-java-driver-all artifact includes shaded Netty and Project Reactor dependencies dependencies and is similar to the original packaging of the org.neo4j.driver:neo4j-java-driver before this update.

The org.neo4j.driver:neo4j-java-driver includes an explicit module declaration for Java Platform Module System (JMPS). The module name remains unchanged.

A new ReactiveSession has been introduced that includes API improvement and is based on Java Flow API. The RxSession has been deprecated.

A RetryableException marker interface has been introduced to enable easier checking of retryable driver exceptions.

A new experimental BookmarkManager feature has been introduced to allow simpler bookmark management, including multi-session level. This is an opt-in feature that is available via SessionConfig.

See the lists below for more details and links to updates.
