Version 5.2.1 2023-12
* Add options to inspection script to skip heavy operations - rel props or cardinality inspection #767
* Fixes database version parsing issues
* Fixes bug when combining count with pagination #769
* Bumps neo4j (driver) to 5.15.0

Version 5.2.0 2023-11

If you use Neo4j version 4.4, this change should be transparent to you, and you should keep using id() function in Cypher since elementId() is not implemented in 4.4.
