33****************************
44
55This repository contains the official Neo4j driver for Python.
6- Each driver release (from 5.0 upwards) is built specifically to work with a
7- corresponding Neo4j release, i.e. that with the same ``major.minor `` version
8- number.
9- Only the latest ``major.minor `` release of each ``major `` driver series
10- receives patches and support.
11- These drivers will also be compatible with the previous Neo4j LTS release as
12- well as the very next release, although only the common set of features
13- between the chosen driver and server versions will be available.
6+
7+ Starting with 5.0, the Neo4j Drivers will be moving to a monthly release
8+ cadence. A minor version will be released on the last Friday of each month so
9+ as to maintain versioning consistency with the core product (Neo4j DBMS) which
10+ has also moved to a monthly cadence.
11+
12+ As a policy, patch versions will not be released except on rare occasions. Bug
13+ fixes and updates will go into the latest minor version and users should
14+ upgrade to that. Driver upgrades within a major version will never contain
15+ breaking API changes.
