Spatial 0.26.1-neo4j-3.5.2

This release supports Neo4j 3.5. In addition, the primary change introduced in the 0.26.x branch of releases is the addition of a new GeomertyEncoder for point data, called the NativePointEncoder. This can be used as a replacement for the SimplePointEncoder. The SimplePointEncoder encodes points as two double properties on a node, usually 'x' and 'y' or 'longitude' and 'latitude'. The NativePointEncoder works on Neo4j 3.4 and later with the built-in support for Point data types.

All procedures that supported the SimplePointEncoder now have versions for the NativePointEncoder. For example:

CALL spatial.addLayerWithEncoder('geom','NativePointEncoder','pos:mbr')

And then

CREATE (n {pos:point(latitude:13.2,longitude:56.7)}) CALL spatial.addNode('geom',n)

Or perhaps:

CALL spatial.addNativePointLayerGeohash('points')

And then:

CREATE (n {location:point(latitude:13.2,longitude:56.7)}) CALL spatial.addNode('points',n)
