However, it turned out that the elements we need to provide in our own AST to render what we parsed do work well: If you decide to build QPP with Cypher-DSL, you can now quantify relationship patterns as a whole or only the relationship, making up already for many uses cases. + +The single entry point to our API makes the whole system a lot more discoverable. +@lukaseder did create a ticket for that in the beginning of 2023 and if someone knows the importance of that, he is that someone as the creator of jOOQ. +Thank you, Lukas and of course earlier this week, @Andy2003 for actually doing the work of adding all those methods to `Cypher`. + +If you don't care about deprecation warnings, 2023.9.0 will be a drop-in replacement. +The existing entry points won't go away until the next major release, in which they will be made package private. +Until then, they are deprecated. + +It my sound like a broken record by now, but again: Thank you, @zakjan and @ikwattro for your input on QPP, now we are waiting for your bug-reports. + +==== ๐Ÿš€ Features + +* Provide a single DSL API entry point.
