****************************

This 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.
