+Redis 4.0.9     Released Mon Mar 26 17:52:32 CEST 2018
+================================================================================
+
+Upgrade urgency CRITICAL: Critical upgrade for users using AOF with the
+                          fsync policy set to "always".
+
+Dear Redis users,
+
+Redis version 4.0.9 adds a few interesting new features and fixes a very
+critical bug regarding the Append Only File. Let's start with the bad news
+(the critical bug), explaining what happens and in what conditions:
+
+Critical AOF bug explained
+--------------------------
+
+When AOF is enabled with the fsync policy set to "always", we have a
+(rarely used) setup where Redis fsyncs every new write on disk. On this
+setup Redis MUST reply to the client with an OK code to the write, only
+after the write is already persisted on disk.
+
+Because of a bug, in particular conditions, it sometimes happens (verified
+experimentally that the condition can be actually created) that in the
+same event loop cycle the command is both processed and the reply sent, before
+the beforeSleep() function has the ability to fsync the write on disk.
+
+The redis 4.0.9 release fixes this problem introducing the concept of
+write barriers in the Redis event loop (ae.c). If you are using a different
+AOF setup, like fsync everysec, you are not affected because such guarantee
+is not provided anyway. Similarly if you have fsync set to always but you
+do not semantically use the fact that the reply is only sent after the
+successful fsync, you may avoid upgrading.
+
+Other bugfixes
+--------------
+
+Other things that we fixed in this release include:
+
+* Latency monitor could report wrong latencies under certain conditions.
+* AOF rewriting could fail when a backgronud rewrite is triggered and
+  at the same time the AOF is switched on/off.
+* Redis Cluster crash-recovery safety improved.
+* Other smaller fixes (check commnits).
+
+New features
+------------
+
+* Redis Cluster has now the ability to configure certain slaves so that
+  they'll never attempt a failover.
+* Keyspace notifications API in modules.
+* RM_Call() is now faster by reusing the same client.
+* Tracking of the percentage of keys already logically expired but yet
+  not evicted.
+* Other smaller improvements (check commits)
