+While the Neo4j 5 series requires at least Java 17, _at least_ Java 20 is necessary to take advantage of this performance improvement in Neo4j 5.14-5.26.
+If you are using Neo4j 2025.01 or later, Java 21 is required.
+For more information about what Java versions are supported by different Neo4j versions, see the link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/operations-manual/current/installation/requirements/#deployment-requirements-java[Operations Manual -> System requirements -> Java].
