What's New

Major version jump adds advanced pathfinding algorithms and CCH path index.

Breaking Changes

  • Major version bump (3 to 4) may require code adjustments or configuration changes.

New Features

  • New algo.AStar procedure for pathfinding with customizable heuristics.
  • New algo.Yen procedure for k-shortest paths with goal-directed spur search.
  • New db.idx.cch.query command for querying CCH indexes.
  • Multi-reltype support for CCH indexes.
  • A* search algorithm with optional heuristicScale for non-distance weights.

Improvements

  • Optimality fixes for path costing and hop-count accounting.
  • Incremental maintenance for CCH indexes with commit-coalesced dirty tracking.
  • Full RDB serialization and persistence for CCH indexes.
  • Replica transpose maintenance in Delta_set.
  • Fixes ~1.6× suboptimal routes on time-weighted road networks.

Bug Fixes

  • Crash on MERGE preceded by an erroring clause.
  • Crash when a clause errors mid plan-build.
  • Replica SIGSEGV applying UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE effect naming a freed id.

Upgrade Notes

Upgrade introduces new DDL commands (CREATE/DROP CCH INDEX) and procedures (algo.AStar, algo.Yen) requiring script updates. The replication decoder now removes the full-sync requirement, potentially altering data propagation behavior. Test pathfinding queries thoroughly due to cost-model fixes.
