v7.7.0

Changed

• Unicode names are now automatically NFC normalized

  This change affects all database, collection, graph, view and analyzer names
  using unicode characters. The change has no effect when using non-unicode
  (ASCII) names. At this time, ArangoDB does not support unicode characters
  in any of these names but experimental support for unicode database names is
  available in ArangoDB 3.9 using the --database.extended-names-databases
  startup option.

  Any names used to create Database, Collection, etc instances or passed to
  methods will automatically be NFC normalized. Additionally the collection
  name part of any value passed as a DocumentSelector and the collection name
  part of values returned by collection.documentId will automatically be NFC
  normalized.

Deprecated

• Deprecated EnsureHashIndexOptions and EnsureSkiplistIndexOptions types

  The hash and skiplist index types have been deprecated in ArangoDB 3.9 and
  should be replaced with persistent indexes which behave identically.

• Deprecated all MMFiles related options and methods

  The MMFiles storage engine was removed in ArangoDB 3.7.
