Neo4j.rb Release 0.4.0

[Andreas Ronge]

Hi

I've just released Neo4j.rb version 0.4.0
Installation: jruby -S gem install neo4j -v 0.4.0
Updated & Improved RDocs: http://neo4j.rubyforge.org/

I have done some major refactoring and performance improvements.
* The traversal speed can be increased by around 3 times by using the
Neo4j Java objects instead of using wrapped Ruby objects.
* The Neo4j Java Node and relationships are now exposed, e.g.
Neo4j::Node.new will create a org.neo4j.graphdb.Node object.
I have added some methods on that object (moved from Neo4j::NodeMixin
which now instead delegates to the java object instead).
* The Relationship and Node now includes the same mixin - that means
you can declare property accessors and lucene index on Relationships
just like on Nodes.

The API has changed, e.g. the relationships method is renamed to rels.
This is because the
Java object already had this method. Also all internal properties -
node id and classname now have a prefix '_'.

Happy Hacking !

Great to see the new version and docs. Thanks! I suffered from the old
docs for a long time.
