Release Note for Neo4j 2026.01.4 (10 February 2026)

 

Bug fix

Server

  • Fix a bug where use of a composite property index in combination with a dynamic node label or dynamic relationship type could result in an incorrect MATCH result being returned. Note: this could also affect the MATCHing portion of a MERGE statement, potentially resulting in the runtime issuing a CREATE that cannot succeed, or an update to the incorrect node.
  • Fixed an issue where the neo4j-admin backup aggregate command failed to correctly resolve the backup artifact path in the output when run on a cloud-stored backup chain requiring no aggregation.
  • System V (SysV) init scripts are now deprecated.  These scripts which reside in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ or /etc/init.d are provided from the Neo4j package installation.  All currently supported Linux distributions use systemd not SysV init scripts by default, so they will be removed in a future release.  Refer to our documentation page on setting up a Linux service.

Cypher

  • Bug fix for privileges targeting remote alias constituents.
  • Bug fixes and security updates on components of Neo4j
  Please refer to the changelog for full details of the changes.
