+- The namespace `\triagens\ArangoDb` was replaced with `\ArangoDBClient`.
 For each class in the old namespace there is now a class alias that points
 from the new namespace to the old namespace, so existing applications can
 still use the class names from the `\triagens\ArangoDb` namespace

+The ArangoDB PHP client is an API that allows you to send and retrieve documents from ArangoDB from out of your PHP application. The client library itself is written in PHP and has no further dependencies but just plain PHP 5.6 (or higher).
 
 The client library provides document and collection classes you can use to work with documents and collections in an OO fashion. When exchanging document data with the server, the library internally will use the [HTTP REST interface of ArangoDB](https://docs.arangodb.com/HttpApi/index.html). The library user does not have to care about this fact as all the details of the REST interface are abstracted by the client library.

+Note on PHP version support:

+This driver will cease to support old PHP versions as soon as they have reached end-of-life status. Support will be removed with the next minor or patch version of the driver to be released. 
+
+In general, it is recommended to always use the latest PHP versions (currently those in the PHP 7 line) in order to take advantage of all the improvements (especially in performance).
