Release Note for Neo4j 5.26.25 (21 April 2026)

Server

  • Fixed bug in seed syncing where a server may fail even if the seeding servers can eventually find a quorum.
  • Fixed a bug in record format where iterating the relationships of a node that concurrently turns dense could return wrong query results.
  • Fixed some cases of ID allocation not reusing available free IDs and instead growing store files unnecessarily. Also fixed some cases of prolonged/slow scanning of the .ids files to look for available free IDs to reuse.

Cypher

  • Always report underlying Neo4j version in EXPLAIN and PROFILE output, up to and including the point release.
  • Fixed a bug where running the same GRANT/REVOKE PBAC privilege command containing a temporal function will throw an error on the second command. Now it succeeds and gives a warning that no changes were made on the second command.

Drivers

  • Updated neo4j-java-driver from 5.28.10 to 5.28.12.
  • Updated netty-bom from 4.1.129.Final to 4.1.131.Final.
  Please refer to the changelog for full details of the changes.
