Any plan to release Cypher 10? #485

It has been four years since the first release of Cypher 9. Do you have any plan to release a newer version of Cypher? aka Cypher 10.

BTW, we are working on the implementation of Cypher 9. It would be nice to know the new features of Cypher 10.

I have edited my previous response because there were some items that were unclear. New Cypher features are being developed in close symbiosis with the GQL standard work, that is making good progress (http://gqlstandards.org). The strong cross pollination between Cypher and GQL will determine the shape of Cypher 10. We’re still exploring the best way to communicate progress with the wider Cypher community. As as we have more information, we’ll share it with you.

The GQL process for the creation of a graph query language standard is steered by the SQL committee. If you're interested in getting involved in GQL, please look into joining your local national standards body (more formal participation, possibly including voting rights) or alternatively, consider becoming a member of LDBC (easier, more lightweight participation).

The LDBC home page is here: http://ldbcouncil.org

You can contact LDBC via info@ldbcouncil.org; there are other Cypher implementers in the LDBC membership.

There is also a Wikipedia article on GQL, which describes how GQL draws on and extends Cypher, which was one of the main inputs and inspirations for GQL.
