We are having a graph database which supports only bolt protocol version 1. I am trying to use the [GitHub - neo4j/neo4j-go-driver: Neo4j Bolt Driver for Go](https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver) for my use case(building a cli)

But it gives error as : _Server did not accept any of the requested Bolt protocol version_

Even the older versions(1.8.3) of go driver gives the same error. Am I missing something here ? or this driver not support bolt protocol version 1 at all ?

Hello,

If I'm not mistaken, Bolt protocol v1 was released for Neo4j server 3.0.

Neo4j 3.0 has been outdated [for a very long time](https://neo4j.com/developer/kb/neo4j-supported-versions/), so you should at least upgrade to 3.5 which is going to be maintained for a few more months and will work with recent drivers. Not upgrading the server is a security liability.

Maybe the Go driver 1.7.4 will work, but same warning as before: these versions are not maintained anymore and are built on top on an unmaintained C library (seabolt).
