This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.
That is to say, some revisions that were in the old version of the
branch are not in the new version.  This situation occurs
when a user --force pushes a change and generates a repository
containing something like this:

 * -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O   (d3650430a1)
            \
             N -- N -- N   refs/heads/TINKERPOP-2862 (5a3030700b)

You should already have received notification emails for all of the O
revisions, and so the following emails describe only the N revisions
from the common base, B.

Any revisions marked "omit" are not gone; other references still
refer to them.  Any revisions marked "discard" are gone forever.

The 1 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails.  The revisions
listed as "add" were already present in the repository and have only
been added to this reference.

(tinkerpop) 01/01: TINKERPOP-2862 Added withoutStrategies syntax to grammar

Posted by sp...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

spmallette pushed a commit to branch TINKERPOP-2862
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/tinkerpop.git

commit 5a3030700b186df88ff8c9c3505c3fe5e3f6e7d6
Author: Stephen Mallette <st...@amazon.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Jan 31 17:05:49 2024 -0500

    TINKERPOP-2862 Added withoutStrategies syntax to grammar
    
    Made "new" keyword optional in grammar TINKERPOP-3046. Language variants still have trouble using withoutStrategies() because of TINKERPOP-3047 and TINKERPOP-3048 that will need to get completed before they will work properly.

 Starting from this version, `gremlin-javascript` will deserialize `Set` data into a ECMAScript 2015 Set. Previously,
 these were deserialized into arrays.
 
+==== Gremlin Grammar Changes
+
+A number of changes have been introduce to the Gremlin grammar to help make it be more consistent and easier to use.
+
+*`new` keyword is now optional*
+
+The `new` keyword is now optional in all cases where it was previously used. Both of the following examples are now
+valid syntax with the second being the preferred form going forward:
+
+[source,groovy]
+----
+g.V().withStrategies(new SubgraphStrategy(vertices: __.hasLabel('person')))
+
+g.V().withStrategies(SubgraphStrategy(vertices: __.hasLabel('person')))
+----
+
+In a future version, it is likely that the `new` keyword will be removed entirely from the grammar.
+
+*Supports withoutStrategies()*
+
+The `withoutStrategies()` configuration step is now supported syntax for the grammar. While this option is not commonly
+used it is still a part of the Gremlin language and there are times where it is helpful to have this fine grained
+control over how a traversal works.
+
+[source,groovy]
+----
+g.V().withoutStrategies(CountStrategy)
+----
+
+See: link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2862[TINKERPOP-2862],
+link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-3046[TINKERPOP-3046]
+
 ==== Renaming none() to discard()
-`none()`, which was primarily used by `iterate()` to discard traversal results in remote contexts, has been renamed to
-`discard()`. In its place is a new list filtering step `none()`, which takes a predicate as an argument and passes lists
-with no elements matching the predicate.
