Preview Release for Neo4j 3.1.0-M10 with User Defined Functions

We already converted about 50 procedures into functions from the following areas:

package	# of functions	example function
date & time conversion	3	apoc.date.parse("time",["unit"],["format"])
number conversion	3	apoc.number.parse("number",["format"])
general type conversion	8	apoc.convert.toMap(value)
type information and checking	4	apoc.meta.type(value)
collection and map functions	25	apoc.map.fromList(["k1",v1,"k2",v2,"k3",v3])
JSON conversion	4	apoc.convert.toJson(value)
string functions	7	apoc.text.join(["s1","s2","s3"],"delim")
hash functions	2	apoc.util.md5(value)

We also started to add default values for parameters and deprecate procedures that required alternative names because of a wider parameter set.

We also moved the Description annotation from APOC's own to the one now provided within Neo4j, so you'll see the descriptions for all functions and procedures in dbms.procedures().
