Neo4j 4.2.1 is a maintenance release with many important improvements and fixes.

  • Upgrade to Apache Shiro 1.7.0
  • Allow cross-version copy in neo4j-admin copy
  • cypher-shell: Update driver version to 4.2.0
  • This fixes a bug where upgrading from 3.5 directly to 4.1 or 4.2 would result in no PUBLIC role being created.
