     Use `trusted_certificates` instead which expects `None` or a `list`. See the
     API documentation for more details.
 - `neo4j.time` module:
- - `Duration`
-   - The constructor does not accept `subseconds` anymore.  
-     Use `milliseconds`, `microseconds`, or `nanoseconds` instead.
-   - The property `subseconds` has been removed.  
-     Use `nanoseconds` instead.
-   - The property `hours_minutes_seconds` has been removed.  
-     Use `hours_minutes_seconds_nanoseconds` instead.
-   - For all math operations holds: they are element-wise on
-     (`months`, `days`, `nanoseconds`).
-     This affects (i.e., changes) the working of `//`, `%`, `/`, and `*`.
-     - Years are equal to 12 months.
-     - Weeks are equal to 7 days.
-     - `seconds`, `milliseconds`, `microseconds`, and `nanoseconds` are
-       implicitly converted to `nanoseconds` or `seconds` as fit.
-   - Multiplication and division allow for floats but will always result in
-     integer values (round to nearest even).
- - `Time`
-   - The constructor does not accept `float`s for `second` anymore.  
-     Use `nanosecond` instead.
-   - Ticks are now nanoseconds since midnight (`int`).
-     - The property `ticks_ns` has been renamed to `ticks`.  
-       The old `ticks` is no longer supported.
-     - The property`from_ticks_ns` has been renamed to `from_ticks`.  
-       The old `from_ticks` is no longer supported.
-   - The property `second` returns an `int` instead of a `float`.  
-     Use `nanosecond` to get the sub-second information.
-   - The property `hour_minute_second` has been removed.  
-     Use `hour_minute_second_nanosecond` instead.
- - `DateTime`
-   - The property `hour_minute_second` has been removed.  
-     Use `hour_minute_second_nanosecond` instead.
-   - The property `second` returns an `int` instead of a `float`.  
-     Use `nanosecond` to get the sub-second information.

+- Creation of a driver with `bolt[+s[sc]]://` scheme now raises an error if the
+  URI contains a query part (a routing context). Previously, the routing context
+  was silently ignored.
