This file is just a placeholder, since this is the "unstable" branch -of Redis, the place where all the development happens. +Redis 6.0 release notes +======================= -There is no release notes for this branch, it gets forked into another branch -every time there is a partial feature freeze in order to eventually create -a new stable release. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Upgrade urgency levels: -Usually "unstable" is stable enough for you to use it in development environments -however you should never use it in production environments.

It is possible to + store arbitrary module private data in RDB files, to hook on different + server events, capture and rewrite commands executions, block clients on + keys, and so forth. +* The Redis active expire cycle was rewritten for much faster eviction of keys + that are already expired. Now the effort is tunable. +* Redis now supports SSL on all channels. +* ACL support, you can define users that can run only certain commands and/or + can only access only certain keys patterns. +* Redis now supports a new protocol called RESP3, which returns more + semantical replies: new clients using this protocol can understand just + from the reply what type to return to the calling program. +* There is server-side support for client-side caching of key values. This + feature is still experimental and will get more changes during the next + release candidates, but you can already test it and read about it here: + https://redis.io/topics/client-side-caching +* Redis can now optionally use threads to handle I/O, allowing to serve + 2 times as much operations per second in a single instance when + pipelining cannot be used. +* Diskless replication is now supported even on replicas: a replica is now + able, under certain conditions the user can configure, to load the RDB + in the first synchronization directly from the socket to the memory. +* Redis-benchmark now supports a Redis Cluster mode. +* SRANDMEMBER and similar commands have a better distribution. +* Redis-cli improvements. +* Systemd support rewritten. +* A Redis Cluster proxy was released here: + https://github.com/artix75/redis-cluster-proxy +* A Disque module for Redis was released here: + https://github.com/antirez/disque-module + +Thanks to all the users and developers who made this release possible. +We'll follow up with more RC releases, until the code looks production ready +and we don't get reports of serious issues for a while. + +A special thank you for the amount of work put into this release +(in decreasing number of commits, only listing contributors with more +than a single commit) by: + + 685 antirez + 81 zhaozhao.zz + 76 Oran Agra + 51 artix + 28 Madelyn Olson + 27 Yossi Gottlieb + 15 David Carlier + 14 Guy Benoish + 14 Guy Korland + 13 Itamar Haber + 9 Angus Pearson + 8 WuYunlong + 8 yongman + 7 vattezhang + 7 Chris Lamb + 5 Dvir Volk + 5 meir@redislabs.com + 5 chendianqiang + 5 John Sully + 4 dejun.xdj + 4 Daniel Dai + 4 Johannes Truschnigg + 4 swilly22 + 3 Bruce Merry + 3 filipecosta90 + 3 youjiali1995 + 2 James Rouzier + 2 Andrey Bugaevskiy + 2 Brad Solomon + 2 Hamid Alaei + 2 Michael Chaten + 2 Steve Webster + 2 Wander Hillen + 2 Weiliang Li + 2 Yuan Zhou + 2 charsyam + 2 hujie + 2 jem + 2 shenlongxing + 2 valentino + 2 zhudacai 00228490 + 2 喜欢兰花山丘 + +Migrating from 5.0 to 6.0 +========================= + +Redis 6.0 is mostly a strict superset of 5.0, you should not have any problem +upgrading your application from 5.0 to 6.0.
