Release Note for Neo4j 2025.07 (29 July 2025)

Neo4j Server

  • The neo4j-admin backup inspect command’s output now always includes the backup metadata.  The –show-metadata flag is no longer required. See Inspect the metadata of a backup file for details.

Cypher 

  • Dynamic labels (for nodes) and dynamic types (for relationships) can now be used in label/type expressions e.g. WHERE n:$($label). See for example FILTER for details.

GenAI Plugin

  • Updated the vector encoding integrations – genai.vector.encode() and genai.vector.encodeBatch() – to remove restrictions on VertexAI and Bedrock models. The default model used for VertexAI has been retired; therefore, the user must explicitly choose a model in the configuration map. Some of these models have additional optional parameters, which have been accommodated. See GenAI Integrations  for details.

Fixes

  • Cypher 5 and 25
    • Fixes a bug that caused parallel runtime to return incorrect results for queries containing map projections, e.g., MATCH (n) RETURN n {.*} AS map
Please refer to the changelog for full details of the changes, and Neo4j Release notes for all other Neo4j product and services.
