Version: 2.5.2

Changelog

v2.5.2 - Jan 26, 2023​

Bug Fixes​

  • Variables can be used inside nested FOREACH clauses. #725
  • FOREACH clause can now use indexes if needed (e.g. in case of MERGE). #736
  • C++ API now allows setting and getting node and relationship properties. #732
  • OPTIONAL MATCH can now use label property indexes that are referencing the previously matched variables. #736
  • Iterating over all relationships in a graph now works as expected, as well as checking whether the graph contains a given relationship. #743
  • Implementation of the All Shortest Paths algorithm was fixed so the paths are no longer duplicated when the upper bound is used. #737

v2.5.1 - Jan 19, 2023​

Bug Fixes​

  • The LOAD CSV clause now uses less RAM to load a whole CSV file. Modification made to improve the LOAD CSV operation, also influenced high memory usage operations with objects such as lists and map. Modifying or accessing elements inside those objects now also uses less RAM. #712
  • The logic of the read_write_type_checker was corrected so queries now get the right rw_type, making the replication system work as expected. #709
  • Bolt protocol has been improved by adding the server-assigned query ID (qid) as part of the transactions' metadata. #721
  • Fixed a trigger bug that would cause an error if Memgraph is configured to run without properties on edges. As a result of the fiy, triggers are now working as expected when there are no properties on edges. #717

v2.5.0 - Dec 13, 2022​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • DISTINCT operator can now be used with aggregation functions. Until now, if you wanted to use an aggregation function with distinct values, you had to write a query similar to this one WITH DISTINCT n.prop as distinct_prop RETURN COUNT(distinct_prop). Now you can use the DISTINCT operator like in the following query, RETURN COUNT(DISTINCT n.prop). #654
  • You can now create a user before the Bolt server starts using the environment variables MEMGRAPH_USER for the username, MEMGRAPH_PASSWORD for the password and MEMGRAPH_PASSFILE file that contains username and password for creating the user in the following format: username:password. #696
  • With the new configuration flag init_file you can execute queries from the CYPHERL file which need to be executed before the Bolt server starts and with the configuration flag init_data_file you can execute queries from the CYPHERL file immediately after the Bolt server starts. #696

Bug Fixes​

  • Constructors and assignment operators in the C++ query modules API now work as expected, and the API type check in the ValueNumeric method now correctly recognizes numeric types. #688
  • Error message support (SetErrorMessage) has been added to query methods that use the MAGE C++ API. #688
  • The EmptyResult sink operator was added to the Memgraph's planner. This means that results produced by a query MATCH (n) SET n.test_prop = 2 will get exhausted which was a problem in some Bolt clients implementations, e.g in Golang's client. #667
  • Fixed Python submodules reloading when calling CALL mg.load() and CALL mg.load_all(). Before, only the Python module would be reloaded, but now all dependencies get reloaded as well. This includes Python's utility submodules and Python packages, which means that the environment with Python packages can be changed without turning off the database. #653

v2.4.2 - Nov 7, 2022​

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed a bug when calling AllShortestPath with id function. #636
  • Fixed bug when getting iterating over in-edges of a Node. #582

v2.4.1 - Oct 7, 2022​

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed bug when getting EdgeType from Edge object or Label from Vertex object in query modules. #582
  • Fix a bug when changing role permissions for label based authorization, by passing user's instead of role's fine_grained_access_handler. #579

v2.4.0 - Sep 15, 2022​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Add replica state to SHOW REPLICAS query. #379
  • Add current_timestamp and number_of_timestamp_behind_master to SHOW REPLICAS query. #412
  • Query REGISTER REPLICA replica_name SYNC no longer supports TIMEOUT parameter. To mimic the previous behavior of REGISTER REPLICA replica_name SYNC WITH TIMEOUT 1, one should use REGISTER REPLICA replica_name ASYNC instead. #423
  • Make behavior more openCypher compliant regarding checking against NULL values is CASE expressions. #432
  • Previously registered replicas are automatically registered on restart of Memgraph. #415
  • Add new command SHOW CONFIG that returns the configuration of the currently running Memgraph instance. #459
  • Extend the shortest paths functionality with All Shortest Path query. #409
  • Extend the query modules C and Python API to enable logging on different levels. #417
  • Added C++ query modules API. Instead of using the C API call, C++ API calls significantly simplify the implementation of fast query modules. #546
  • [Enterprise] Added support for label-based authorization. In addition to clause-based authorization rules, each user can now be granted NOTHING, READ, UPDATE, or CREATE_DELETE permission on a given label or edge type. #484
  • New Cypher function project() creates a projected graph consisting of nodes and edges from aggregated paths. Any query module or algorithm can be now run on a subgraph, by passing the variable of the projected graph as the first argument of the query module procedure. #535

Bug Fixes​

  • Added a check to ensure two replicas cannot be registered to an identical end-point. #406
  • toString function is now able to accept Date, LocalTime, LocalDateTime and Duration data types. #429
  • Aggregation functions now return the openCypher-compliant results on null input and display the correct behavior when grouped with other operators. #448
  • Corrected inconsistencies and incorrect behavior with regards to sync replicas. For more detail about the behavior, please check Under the hood view on replication. #435
  • Fixed handling ROUTE Bolt message. Memgraph didn't handle the fields of ROUTE message properly. Therefore the session might be stuck in a state where even the RESET message did not help. With this fix, sending a RESET message will properly reset the session. #475

v2.3.1 - Jun 23, 2022​

Improvement​

  • Updated results return by CHECK STREAM query to group all queries/raw messages on single line per batch. #394
  • Add frequent replica ping. main instance checks state of the replicas with given frequency controller by --replication-replica-check-delay-sec. The check allows latest information about the state of each replica from main point of view. #380
  • Added BATCH_LIMIT and TIMEOUT options to START STREAM query that returns the raw message received by the transformation. #392

Bug Fixes​

  • Fix header on SHOW REPLICATION ROLE query and wrong timeout info on SHOW REPLICAS query. #376
  • Fix WebSocket connection with clients that do not use binary protocol header. #403
  • Fix SSL connection shutdown hanging. #395
  • Fix module symbol loading with python modules. #335
  • Fix header on SHOW REPLICATION ROLE query and wrong timeout info on SHOW REPLICAS query. #376
  • Adapted compilation flag so that the memory allocator uses JEMALLOC while counting allocated memory. #401

v2.3.0 - Apr 27, 2022​

Major Features and Improvements​

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed incorrect loading of C query modules. #387

v2.2.1 - Mar 17, 2022​

Bug Fixes​

  • Added CentOS 7 release by fixing the compatibility issue with the older version of SSL used on CentOS 7. #361

v2.2.0 - Feb 18, 2022​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added support for compilation on ARM architectures (aarch64) and Docker support for running Memgraph on Apple M1 machines. #340
  • Added monitoring server that forwards certain information from Memgraph to the clients connected to it (e.g. logs) using WebSocket. #337
  • Added CONFIGS and CREDENTIALS options to Kafka streams. #328
  • Added built-in procedures used for handling Python module files. mg.create_module_file, mg.update_module_file, mg.delete_module_file, mg.get_module_file, and mg.get_module_files allow you to do modifications on your Python module files, get their content, and list all the files present in your query module directories directly from Memgraph. #330
  • Built-in procedures mg.procedures and mg.transformations return additional information about the procedures and transformations scripts. path returns an absolute path to the module file containing the procedure, while is_editable returns true if the file can be edited using Memgraph or false otherwise. #310
  • Added SHOW VERSION query that returns the version of the Memgraph server which is being queried. #265

Bug Fixes​

  • The reference count is increased when Py_None is returned from the _mgp module. This fixes a nondeterministic fatal Python error. #320
  • Use correct error when printing warning in rebalance callback of Kafka consumer. #321
  • Fix transaction handling in streams in case of serialization error. Previously, a serialization error caused an exception to be thrown since nested transactions are not supported. After this fix, the transactions are handled correctly in the transaction retry logic. #339
  • Temporal types LocalTime and LocalDateTime instantiations return subsecond precision. Additionally, query modules mg_local_date_time_now() and mg_local_time_now() also return subsecond precision. #333

v2.1.1 - Dec 07, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Loading streams created by versions of Memgraph older than 2.1 is not possible. We suggest you extract the necessary information using the older version of Memgraph and recreate the streams in a newer version (Memgraph 2.1 and newer).

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added procedures for retrieving configuration information specific for each stream type. mg.pulsar_stream_info will return information about a specific Pulsar stream and mg.kafka_stream_info will return information about a specific Kafka stream. #301
  • SHOW STREAMS now returns default values for batch interval and batch size if they weren't specified. #306

Bug Fixes​

  • Query execution stats, returned after a Cypher query was executed, are now updated with the changes made in write procedures. #304
  • Loading streams created by older versions won't cause Memgraph to crash. #302

v2.1.0 - Nov 22, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Loading streams created by older versions cause Memgraph to crash. The only possible workaround involves deleting the existing streams. The streams can be deleted by the DROP STREAM query in the old versions of Memgraph. After upgrading to this version, the streams directory has to be deleted manually from Memgraph's data directory (on Debian-based systems, it is /var/lib/memgraph by default).
  • The query for creating a Kafka stream now requires the KAFKA keyword. The previous form CREATE STREAM ... was changed to CREATE KAFKA STREAM ....

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Now supporting Bolt protocol version 4.3. #226
  • Streams support for retrying conflicting transactions. When a message is processed from a certain stream source, a query is executed as a part of the transaction. If that transaction fails because of other conflicting transactions, the transaction is retried a set number of times. The number of retries and interval between each retry can be controlled with configs --stream-transaction-conflict-retries and --stream-transaction-retry-interval. #294
  • Added procedure to configure the starting offset (to consume messages from) of a topic (and its partitions). #282
  • Added BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS option to CREATE KAFKA STREAM which you can check here. #282
  • Added Bolt notifications in the query summary to inform the user about results or to give useful tips. When a query executes successfully, sometimes is necessary to give users tips or extra information about the execution. #285
  • Added execution statistics in the query summary to inform user on how many objects were affected. E.g., when you run a query with a CREATE clause, you'll know how many nodes/edges were created by it. #285
  • Added support for connecting to Pulsar as a new stream source. For more details, check out our reference pages. #293

Bug Fixes​

  • Allow duration values to be used as weights in the Weighted Shortest Path query. #278
  • Fix linkage error when mgp_local_time_get_minute is used. #273
  • Fix crash when temporal types are used with ORDER BY clause. #299

v2.0.1 - Oct 12, 2021​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Updated a startup message with a link to the getting started page. #259
  • Updated certain error and warning messages in the logs with links to the documentation explaining the problem in more detail. #243
  • Updated mgconsole to v1.1.0. #260

Bug Fixes​

  • Graph updates made in the write procedures are now correctly registered in the triggers. #262
  • Fixed DETACH DELETE interaction with the triggers. Previously, vertices deleted by the DETACH DELETE would not be registered by triggers if only ON () DELETE trigger existed. #266

v2.0.0 - Oct 5, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Changed the timestamp() function to return microseconds instead of milliseconds.
  • Most of the query modules C API functions are changed to return a mgp_error as a more fine-grained way of error reporting. The only exceptions are the functions that free allocated memory (mgp_free and mgp_global_free) and destroy objects (mgp_value_destroy, mgp_list_destroy, etc.) which remain the same.
  • The first user created using the CREATE USER query will have all the privileges granted to him. Previously, you could've locked yourself out of Memgraph by creating a user and immediately disconnecting.

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added support for temporal types, a feature that allows the user to manipulate and store time related data in the graph. For more information take a look at the reference guide
  • Added support for parameters with CREATE clause in the following form: CREATE (n $param).
  • Introduced settings to Memgraph that can be modified during runtime. You can check out more details here.
  • Added writeable procedure support, so procedures can modify the graph by creating and deleting vertices and edges, modifying the labels of vertices or setting the properties of vertices and edges.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed planning of queries with MERGE clause. If a previously defined symbol is used as property value inside the MERGE clause, the planner will correctly use the label-property index if present.
  • Unused memory is correctly returned to OS when FREE MEMORY query is used. Before, Memgraph would free up the memory internally and not return it to the OS. Because of that Memgraph could allocate more memory from the OS than it's allowed.
  • Fixed recovery from durability files. Because of a wrong check, Memgraph could crash and leave the durability files in an invalid state making recovery not possible.
  • Fixed usage of execute keyword in queries. Because of the special way we handle the EXECUTE keyword from the CREATE TRIGGER query using that same keyword in other contexts caused Memgraph to crash.

v1.6.1 - Jul 24, 2021​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added proper privilege checks for queries executed by triggers and stream transformations.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed error handling in streams to make restarting streams possible after failing. The issue is caused by not rolling back the transaction in which the query failed, so when the stream was restarted and tried to process the next batch of messages it was still in a transaction, but it tried to start a new one. Now the transaction is rolled back in case of any errors during query execution, so a new transaction can be started during the processing of the next batch of messages.

v1.6.0 - Jul 7, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Changed the LOCK_PATH permission to DURABILITY.

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added support for consuming Kafka streams. You can connect Memgraph to a Kafka cluster and run queries based on the messages received. The transformation from Kafka to Cypher queries is done using Transformation Modules, a concept similar to Query Modules. Using our Python and C API, you can easily define functions that analyze Kafka messages and generate different queries based on them. The stream connection can be configured, tested, stopped, started, checked, and dropped.
  • Introduced global allocators for Query Modules using C API, so the data can be preserved between multiple runs of the same procedure.
  • Introduced new isolation levels, READ COMMITTED and READ_UNCOMMITTED. The isolation level can be set with a config. Also, you can set the isolation level for a certain session or the next transaction. The names of the isolation levels should be self-explanatory, unlike the SNAPSHOT ISOLATION which is still the default isolation level.
  • The query timeouts are now triggered using a different method. Before, we used the TSC to measure the execution time. Unfortunately, this proved unreliable for certain CPUs (AMD Ryzen 7 and M1), which caused queries to timeout almost instantly. We switched to POSIX timer which should work on every hardware, while not affecting the performance.
  • Added a config, allow-load-csv, with which you can disable LOAD CSV clause. LOAD CSV can read and display data from any file on the system which could be insecure for some systems. Because of that, we added a config that allows you to disable that clause in every case.
  • Added CREATE SNAPSHOT query. Snapshots are created every few minutes, using this query you can trigger snapshot creation instantly.
  • Increased the default query timeout to 10 minutes. The previous default amount of 3 minutes proved too small, especially for queries that use LOAD CSV with a large dataset.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed parsing of certain types in Query Modules using Python API.
  • Fixed a concurrency bug for Query Modules using Python API. Running the same procedure from multiple clients caused the Memgraph instance to crash.
  • Fixed restoring triggers that call procedures. Because the triggers were restored before the procedures, the query trigger executes couldn't find the called procedure, which caused the restore to fail. Switching up the order was enough to fix the problem.

v1.5.0 - May 28, 2021​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added database triggers. You can now create, delete, and print out triggers that execute Cypher statements. You can create custom actions whenever a node or an edge is created, updated, or deleted. All the triggers are persisted on the disk, so no information is lost between runs.
  • Replaced mg_client with the mgconsole command-line interface, which ships directly with Memgraph. You can now install mgconsole directly on Windows and macOS.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed parsing of types for Python procedures for types nested in mgp. List. For example, parsing of mgp.List[mgp.Map] works now.
  • Fixed memory tracking issues. Some of the allocation and deallocation wasn't tracked during the query execution.
  • Fixed reading CSV files that are using CRLF as the newline symbol.
  • Fixed permission issues for LOAD CSV, FREE MEMORY, LOCK DATA DIRECTORY, and replication queries.

v1.4.0 - Apr 2, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Changed MEMORY LIMIT num (KB|MB) clause in the procedure calls to PROCEDURE MEMORY LIMIT num (KB|MB). The functionality is still the same.

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added replication to community version.
  • Added support for multiple query modules directories at the same time. You can now define multiple, comma-separated paths to directories from which the modules will be loaded using the --query-modules-directory flag.
  • Added support for programatically reading in data from CSV files through the LOAD CSV clause. We support CSV files with and without a header, the supported dialect being Excel.
  • Added a new flag --memory-limit which enables the user to set the maximum total amount of memory memgraph can allocate during its runtime.
  • Added FREE MEMORY query which tries to free unusued memory chunks in different parts of storage.
  • Added the memory limit and amount of currently allocated bytes in the result of SHOW STORAGE INFO query.
  • Added QUERY MEMORY LIMIT num (KB|MB) to Cypher queries which allows you to limit memory allocation for the entire query. It can be added only at the end of the entire Cypher query.
  • Added logs for the different parts of the recovery process. INFO, DEBUG and TRACE level all contain additional information that is printed out while the recovery is in progress.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed garbage collector by correctly marking the oldest current timestamp after the database was recovered using the durability files.
  • Fixed reloading of the modules with changed result names.
  • Fixed profile query to show the correct name of the ScanAll operator variant.

v1.3.0 - Jan 26, 2021​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Added extra information in durability files to support replication, making it incompatible with the durability files generated by older versions of Memgraph. Even though the replication is an Enterprise feature, the files are compatible with the Community version.

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added support for data replication across a cluster of Memgraph instances. Supported instance types are MAIN and REPLICA. Supported replication modes are SYNC (all SYNC REPLICAS have to receive data before the MAIN can commit the transaction), ASYNC (MAIN doesn't care if data is replicated), SYNC WITH TIMEOUT (MAIN will wait for REPLICAS within the given timeout period, after timout, replication isn't aborted but the replication demotes the REPLICA to the ASYNC mode).
  • Added support for query type deduction. Possible query types are r (read), w (write), rw (read-write). The query type is returned as a part of the summary.
  • Improved logging capabilities by introducing granular logging levels. Added new flag, --log-level, which specifies the minimum log level that will be printed. E.g., it's possible to print incoming queries or Bolt server states.
  • Added ability to lock the storage data directory by executing the LOCK DATA DIRECTORY query which delays the deletion of the files contained in the data directory. The data directory can be unlocked again by executing the UNLOCK DATA DIRECTORY query.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes​

  • Added cleanup of query executions if not in an explicit transaction.
  • Fix RPC dangling reference.

v1.2.0 - Oct 20, 2020​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • SSL is disabled by default (--bolt-cert-file and --bolt-key-file are empty). This change might only affect the client connection configuration.

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Added support for Bolt v4.0 and v4.1.
  • Added mgp_networkx.py as an alternative implementation of NetworkX graph objects, which is useful to use Memgraph data from NetworkX algorithms optimally.
  • Added nxalg.py query module as a proxy to NetworkX algorithms.
  • Added plan optimization to use a label-property index where the property is not null. As a result, the query engine, instead of scanning all elements and applying the filter, performs a label-property index lookup when possible.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes​

  • Fixed Cypher ID function Null handling. When the ID function receives Null, it will also return Null.
  • Fixed bug that caused random crashes in SSL communication on platforms that use older versions of OpenSSL (< 1.1) by adding proper multi-threading handling.
  • Fix DISCARD message handling. The query is now executed before discarding the results.

v1.1.0 - Jul 1, 2020​

Major Features and Improvements​

  • Properties in nodes and edges are now stored encoded and compressed. This change significantly reduces memory usage. Depending on the specific dataset, total memory usage can be reduced up to 50%.

  • Added support for rescanning query modules. Previously, the query modules directory was scanned only upon startup. Now it is scanned each time the user requests to load a query module. The functions used to load the query modules were renamed to mg.load() and mg.load_all() (from mg.reload() and mg.reload_all()).

  • Improved execution performance of queries that have an IN list filter by using label+property indices. Example: MATCH (n: Label) WHERE n.property IN [] ...

  • Added support for ANY and NONE openCypher functions. Previously, only ALL and SINGLE functions were implemented.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes​

  • Fixed invalid paths returned by variable expansion when the starting node and destination node used the same symbol. Example: MATCH path = (n: Person {name: "John"})-[: KNOWS*]->(n) RETURN path

  • Improved semantics of ALL and SINGLE functions to be consistent with openCypher when handling lists with Null s.

  • SHOW CONSTRAINT INFO now returns property names as a list for unique constraints.

  • Escaped label/property/edgetype names in DUMP DATABASE to support names with spaces in them.

  • Fixed handling of DUMP DATABASE queries in multi-command transactions ( BEGIN, ..., COMMIT).

  • Fixed handling of various query types in explicit transactions. For example, constraints were allowed to be created in multi-command transactions (BEGIN , ..., COMMIT) but that isn't a transactional operation and as such can't be allowed in multi-command transactions.

  • Fixed integer overflow bugs in COUNT, LIMIT and SKIP.

  • Fixed integer overflow bugs in weighted shortest path expansions.

  • Fixed various other integer overflow bugs in query execution.

  • Added Marvel Comic Universe tutorial.

  • Added FootballTransfers tutorial.

v0.10.0 - Apr 24, 2018​

danger

Breaking Changes​

  • Snapshot format changed (not backward compatible).

Major Features and Improvements​

  • [Enterprise Ed.] Distributed storage and execution.
  • reduce and single functions added to openCypher.
  • wShortest edge expansion added to openCypher.
  • Support packaging RPM on CentOS 7.

Bug Fixes and Other Changes​

  • Report an error if updating a deleted element.
  • Log an error if reading info on available memory fails.
  • Fix a bug when MATCH would stop matching if a result was empty, but later results still contain data to be matched. The simplest case of this was the query: UNWIND [1, 2, 3] AS x MATCH (n: Label {prop: x}) RETURN n. If there was no node (: Label {prop: 1}), then the MATCH wouldn't even try to find for x being 2 or 3.
  • Report an error if trying to compare a property value with something that cannot be stored in a property.
  • Fix crashes in some obscure cases.
  • Commit log automatically garbage collected.
  • Add minor performance improvements.
