The Graph Foundation for Global Internet-Scale Applications
 
- Multi-DC awareness allows Causal Clusters to more conveniently span data centers
 - Tiered replicas boost performance by keeping local replica traffic local
 - Topology-aware stack insulates developers and apps from complexities of clustering
 - Improved cloud delivery via RPM, Azure and AWS EC2
 - Causal Clustering available on CAPI Flash hardware from IBM Power Systems
 
Enterprise Governance
 
- Node Keys: new schema constraints enforce existence and uniqueness across one or more node properties
 - Kerberos option: for secure encrypted-authentication
 - Rich query monitoring: new metrics allow users and admins to better understand the behavior of running queries, with added information about locks and resource consumption
 
		Native Graph Performance Improvements
				- Native label index improves write speed by 30-300%
 - Composite indexes supercharge exact lookups with multiple-property support
 - Reachability queries: Cypher’s depth query in 
DISTINCTfunction eliminates repetitious traversals through deep levels, improving performance up to orders of magnitude - New compiled Cypher runtime in Enterprise Edition to speed common queries by 300%
 - Snappier Neo4j Browser with new, more flexible JavaScript framework
 
New Cypher Editor in Neo4j Browser
- Syntax highlighting
 - Auto-complete for labels, relationship types, properties and variables
 - Command auto-complete
 
New in Neo4j 3.2
Indexing
- Composite indexes supercharge lookup speeds
 - Native label index improves write speeds by 30-300%
 
Cypher Query Language
- Depth query function 
DISTINCTimproves “reachability” by no longer treading nodes it already knows - Cost-based query optimizer now automatically invoked
 
Neo4j Browser Rewritten
- Improved performance and flexibility via new JavaScript framework
 
Driver Pack 1.3
- Transaction handling in Bolt driver library moved to driver
 - Cluster management and routing decisions moved to driver
 
Deployment Tools
- RPM Packages available
 - Cloud delivery via Microsoft Azure and AWS EC2
 
New in Neo4j 3.2 Enterprise Edition
Built to deploy large-scale, mission-critical graph apps over the Internet
Multi-Data Center Support
- Improves horizontal scaling and fault tolerance for global applications
 - Adds hierarchical subclusters to speed replication processes while minimizing WAN traversals
 
Causal Clustering API
- Bolt drivers control transactionality and preferred server for reads and writes across each cluster and data centers
 
Compiled Cypher Runtime
- Common and repetitive queries can be compiled to dramatically improve performance
 
Node Keys
- Impose schema constraints onto graph models for existence or data validation
 
Query Monitoring
- API adds many new query metrics
 
Kerberos Encryption
- Add-on module offers enterprise-caliber authentication
 
Clustering on CAPI Flash
- Add-on support for IBM POWER8 systems
