+=== Cypher query options
+
+If you had a need to pass in Cypher query options for query tuning, this interface has been changed.
+
+The config option `queryOptions` has now become `cypherQueryOptions`, and it now accepts simple strings instead of enums.
+
+The following is an example before the change:

+const { Neo4jGraphQL, CypherRuntime } = require("@neo4j/graphql");
+const { ApolloServer } = require("apollo-server");

+        title: String!
+    }

+        queryOptions: {
+            runtime: CypherRuntime.INTERPRETED,
