-Hello! 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 download the latest stable release here:
+LOW:      No need to upgrade unless there are new features you want to use.
+MODERATE: Program an upgrade of the server, but it's not urgent.
+HIGH:     There is a critical bug that may affect a subset of users. Upgrade!
+CRITICAL: There is a critical bug affecting MOST USERS. Upgrade ASAP.
+SECURITY: There are security fixes in the release.

+Introduction to the Redis 6 release
+===================================
+
+Redis 6 improves Redis in a number of key areas and is one of the largest
+Redis releases in the history of the project, so here we'll list only
+the biggest features in this release:
+
+* The modules system now has a number of new APIs that allow module authors
+  to make things otherwise not possible in the past. 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.
+

+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. However this is a list of small
+non-backward compatible changes introduced in the 6.0 release:
+
+* Nothing found yet.
+
