Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. For more information about this engine version, see [Neptune Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R5](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/engine-releases-1.0.4.2.R5.html). As of 2021-08-16, engine version 1.0.4.2.R5 is being generally deployed. Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. ## Defects Fixed in This Engine Release Defects Fixed + Disabled an optimization made in [engine release `1.0.4.2.R4`](engine-releases-1.0.4.2.R4.md) that made the [Neptune lookup cache](feature-overview-lookup-cache.md) survive engine restarts on replicas. Replica restarts now clear the lookup cache. ## Query-Language Versions Supported in This Release Supported Query-Language Versions Before upgrading a DB cluster to version 1.0.4.2.R5, make sure that your project is compatible with these query-language versions: + *Gremlin version:* `3.4.10` + *SPARQL version:* `1.1` ## Upgrade Paths to Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R5 Upgrade Paths Your cluster will be upgraded to this patch release automatically during your next maintenance window if you are running engine version `1.0.4.2`. You can manually upgrade any previous Neptune engine release to this release. # Amazon Neptune Engine Version 1.0.4.2.R4 (2021-07-23) Release: 1.0.4.2.R4 (2021-07-23)Engine version 1.0.4.2.R4 As of 2021-07-23, engine version 1.0.4.2.R4 is being generally deployed. Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. For more information about this engine version, see [Neptune Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/engine-releases-1.0.4.2.R4.html). As of 2021-07-23, engine version 1.0.4.2.R4 is being generally deployed. Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. ## Improvements in This Engine Release Improvements + Improved the behavior of the lookup cache to avoid redundant cache clearing after running fast reset on a replica. + Improved handling of streaming change logs when `AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER` streams are requested with the last event ID on the server, when that event ID has already expired. The server no longer throws an expired event ID error if the requested event ID is the most recently purged event ID on the server. ## Defects Fixed in This Engine Release Defects Fixed + Fixed a bug introduced in 1.0.4.0.R1 where queries would not return the entirety of string values larger than 760 characters. The terms affected by this bug were RDF literals and URIs, or Gremlin IDs, keys, and string values. ## Query-Language Versions Supported in This Release Supported Query-Language Versions Before upgrading a DB cluster to version 1.0.4.2.R4, make sure that your project is compatible with these query-language versions: + *Gremlin version:* `3.4.10` + *SPARQL version:* `1.1` ## Upgrade Paths to Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R4 Upgrade Paths Your cluster will be upgraded to this patch release automatically during your next maintenance window if you are running engine version `1.0.4.2`. You can manually upgrade any previous Neptune engine release to this release. # Amazon Neptune Engine Version 1.0.4.2.R3 (2021-06-28) Release: 1.0.4.2.R3 (2021-06-28)Engine version 1.0.4.2.R3 As of 2021-06-28, engine version 1.0.4.2.R3 is being generally deployed. Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. For more information about this engine version, see [Neptune Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/engine-releases-1.0.4.2.R3.html). As of 2021-06-28, engine version 1.0.4.2.R3 is being generally deployed. Please note that it takes several days for a new release to become available in every region. ## Known issues in this engine release Known issues **Issue:** A SPARQL bug that fails to honor media type in an `Accept` header if there are spaces present. For example, a query with ` -H "Accept: text/csv; q=1.0, */*; q=0.1" ` returns JSON output rather than CSV output. **Workaround:** If you remove the spaces in the `Accept` clause in the header, the engine returns output in the correct requested format. In other words, instead of ` -H "Accept: text/csv; q=1.0, */*; q=0.1" `, use: ``` -H "Accept: text/csv;q=1.0,*/*;q=0.1" ``` ## Defects Fixed in This Engine Release Defects Fixed + Fixed a bug in clearing the lookup cache on replicas after a fast reset. ## Query-Language Versions Supported in This Release Supported Query-Language Versions Before upgrading a DB cluster to version 1.0.4.2.R3, make sure that your project is compatible with these query-language versions: + *Gremlin version:* `3.4.10` + *SPARQL version:* `1.1` ## Upgrade Paths to Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R3 Upgrade Paths This patch release is optional unless your DB cluster is using one or more `R5d` instances. If your cluster has `R5d` instances, it will automatically be upgraded in the next maintenance window. Otherwise, it will not automatically be upgraded to this patch release. You can upgrade release `1.0.4.2.R2` to this `1.0.4.2.R3` release manually using the AWS CLI [apply-pending-maintenance-action](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/neptune/apply-pending-maintenance-action.html) command (the [ApplyPendingMaintenanceAction](api-other-apis.md#ApplyPendingMaintenanceAction) API). # Amazon Neptune Engine Version 1.0.4.2.R2 (2021-06-01) Release: 1.0.4.2.R2 (2021-06-01)Engine version 1.0.4.2.R2 As of 2021-06-01, engine version 1.0.4.2.R2 is being generally deployed.

For example, a query with ` -H "Accept: text/csv; q=1.0, */*; q=0.1" ` returns JSON output rather than CSV output. **Workaround:** If you remove the spaces in the `Accept` clause in the header, the engine returns output in the correct requested format. In other words, instead of ` -H "Accept: text/csv; q=1.0, */*; q=0.1" `, use: ``` -H "Accept: text/csv;q=1.0,*/*;q=0.1" ``` ## New Features in This Engine Release New Features + Added the new R5d instance type, which includes a lookup cache for speeding up reads in use cases involving a high volume of property value or RDF literal lookups. See [The Neptune lookup cache can accelerate read queries](feature-overview-lookup-cache.md). + Added a new lab-mode parameter that lets the experimental DFE engine be invoked only on a per-query basis with the `useDFE` query hint. ## Improvements in This Engine Release Improvements + Added support for TinkerPop 3.4.10. + Added support for using the `withStrategies( )` configuration step when sending Gremlin script requests. Specifically, the `SubgraphStrategy`, `PartitionStrategy`, `ReadOnlyStrategy`, `EdgeLabelVerificationStrategy`, and `ReservedKeysVerificationStrategy` are all supported. + Added optimization for `V()` traversals in the middle of a query. Previously, such traversals were not optimized in Neptune. + Added support for [RFC 2141 URNs](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2141) to be used as the `baseUri` and `namedGraphUri` parameters for a bulk load. ## Defects Fixed in This Engine Release Defects Fixed + Fixed a Gremlin bug in the parser where incorrect queries were treated as valid. + Fixed a Gremlin bug where unfolding an `aggregate()` side-effect with `cap().unfold()` to a `valueMap()` would raise an exception. + Fixed a Gremlin bug where some `property()` steps after an `addV()` step fail with a "cannot cast to String" error. + Fixed a Gremlin bug to prevent some conditional insert patterns from raising concurrent-modification exceptions. + Fixed a Gremlin bug so that the query request timeout now cannot exceed the session timeout. + Fixed a SPARQL bug where updates using LOAD or UNLOAD could fail with an HTTP code 500 instead of HTTP code 400 when the remote server is unavailable. + Fixed a bug where stream API calls were failing when `commitNum` or `opNum` values larger than the 32-bit signed integer limit (2,147,483,647) were used. ## Query-Language Versions Supported in This Release Supported Query-Language Versions Before upgrading a DB cluster to version 1.0.4.2.R2, make sure that your project is compatible with these query-language versions: + *Gremlin version:* `3.4.10` + *SPARQL version:* `1.1` ## Upgrade Paths to Engine Release 1.0.4.2.R2 Upgrade Paths You can manually upgrade any previous Neptune engine release to this release. You will not automatically upgrade to this release. ## Upgrading to This Release Upgrading Amazon Neptune 1.0.4.2.R2 is now generally available. If a DB cluster is running an engine version from which there is an upgrade path to this release, it is eligible to be upgraded now. You can upgrade any eligible cluster using the DB cluster operations on the console or by using the SDK. The following CLI command will upgrade an eligible cluster immediately: For Linux, OS X, or Unix: ``` 1. aws neptune modify-db-cluster \ 2. --db-cluster-identifier (your-neptune-cluster) \ 3. --engine-version 1.0.4.2 \ 4. --apply-immediately ``` For Windows: ``` 1. aws neptune modify-db-cluster ^ 2. --db-cluster-identifier (your-neptune-cluster) ^ 3. --engine-version 1.0.4.2 ^ 4. --apply-immediately ``` Updates are applied to all instances in a DB cluster simultaneously. An update requires a database restart on those instances, so you will experience downtime ranging from 20–30 seconds to several minutes, after which you can resume using the DB cluster. ### Always test before you upgrade Test before upgrading When a new major or minor Neptune engine version is released, always test your Neptune applications on it first before upgrading to it. Even a minor upgrade could introduce new features or behavior that would affect your code. Start by comparing the release notes pages from your current version to those of the targeted version to see if there will be changes in query language versions or other breaking changes. The best way to test a new version before upgrading your production DB cluster is to clone your production cluster so that the clone is running the new engine version. You can then run queries on the clone without affecting the production DB cluster. ### Always create a manual snapshot before you upgrade Take a manual snapshot Before performing an upgrade, we strongly recommend that you always create a manual snapshot of your DB cluster. Having an automatic snapshot only offers short-term protection, whereas a manual snapshot remains available until you explicitly delete it. In certain cases Neptune creates a manual snapshot for you as a part of the upgrade process, but you should not rely on this, and should create your own manual snapshot in any case. When you are certain that you won't need to revert your DB cluster to its pre-upgrade state, you can explicitly delete the manual snapshot that you created yourself, as well as the manual snapshot that Neptune might have created. If Neptune creates a manual snapshot, it will have a name that begins with `preupgrade`, followed by the name of your DB cluster, the source engine version, the target engine version, and the date. **Note** If you are trying to upgrade while [a pending action is in process](manage-console-maintaining), you may encounter an error such as the following: ``` We're sorry, your request to modify DB cluster (cluster identifier) has failed. Cannot modify engine version because instance (instance identifier) is running on an old configuration. Apply any pending maintenance actions on the instance before proceeding with the upgrade. ``` If you encounter this error, wait for the pending action to finish, or trigger a maintenance window immediately to let the previous upgrade complete. For more information about upgrading your engine version, see [Maintaining your Amazon Neptune DB Cluster](cluster-maintenance.md). If you have any questions or concerns, the AWS Support team is available on the community forums and through [AWS Premium Support](http://aws.amazon.com/support). # Amazon Neptune Engine Version 1.0.4.2.R1 (2021-05-27) Release: 1.0.4.2.R1 (2021-05-27) Engine release 1.0.4.2.R1 was never deployed.
