Apache TinkerPop 3.8.0 Released: Grix Greven

[Cole Greer]

Hello,

Apache TinkerPop 3.8.0 has just been released. This release introduces many significant changes and
improvements to TinkerPop, especially with respect to the Gremlin language. The main theme of 3.8.0
is improvements to the consistency and usability of the Gremlin language, and TinkerPop as a whole.
3.8.0 includes semantic changes to many steps including repeat(), local(), and choose() to make the
results more predictable and intuitive. Many of these changes are breaking for certain usages, users
should consult the upgrade documentation carefully when upgrading to 3.8.0. There are also new
additions to Gremlin, headlined by the new asNumber() and asBool() steps and the new P.typeOf()
predicate. Together these additions allow for better type conversions as well as type-based filtering or
branching of Traversals.
