Release notes for RC2 (really 7.2.5-rc1). Based on conversation, decided to have first release on 7.2.5 to make it clear this was a patch release over Redis. This could be considered a minor release, but we wanted to clearly signal compatibility with Redis OSS. --------- Signed-off-by: Madelyn Olson <madelyneolson@gmail.com>

|
|

this is a patch iteration as opposed to an exact copy of OSS Redis. Also includes
|

Valkey 7.2.4 RC1 - Released Tue 09 Apr 2024
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
Upgrade urgency LOW: Initial release of Valkey with API compatibility for OSS
|
|
Redis 7.2.4. This release is based off of OSS Redis 7.2.4, with additional
|
|
functionality to better brand the server as Valkey instead of Redis. All APIs
|
|
are fully backwards compatible and care was taken to minimize the number of
|
|
log lines that were changed to best support existing tooling around log parsing.
|
|
|
|
Changes to support Valkey branding
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
* Rename the 6 Redis binaries to ones with `valkey` prefixes: `valkey-server`,
|
|
`valkey-cli`, `valkey-benchmark`, `valkey-check-aof`, `valkey-check-rdb` and
|
|
`valkey-sentinel`. (#62)
|
|
* During install, create symlinks mapping the corresponding Redis binary names
|
|
to the new Valkey binaries. (#193)
|
|
* INFO fields: Introduce `valkey_version` and `server_name` fields. The
|
|
`redis_version` will continue to be present and will indicate the Redis OSS
|
|
version that the server is compatible with. (#47, #232)
|
|
* RDB file format: Introduce a `valkey-ver` RDB field to indicate an RDB file
|
|
was produced by a Valkey server. This field is ignored when the file is
|
|
loaded by Redis OSS. (#47)
|
|
* Module API changes: Introduce Valkey Module API in a new file, valkeymodule.h,
|
|
with functions and types prefixed by ValkeyModule. Valkey is still fully ABI
|
|
compatible with the Redis Module API, meaning Valkey supports running modules
|
|
compiled with either the Redis or Valkey Module APIs. For full source
|
|
compatibility, the Redis Module API (redismodule.h) is also kept with the
|
|
RedisModule prefixed functions and types. (#194, #243, #262)
|
|
* Scripting: Introduce a new top level `server` object for functions and scripts
|
|
that can be instead of the existing `redis` object. This allows users to
|
|
replace calls like `redis.call(...)` with `server.call(...)`. (#213)
|
|
* Makefile: Introduce `SERVER_CFLAGS` and `SERVER_LDFLAGS` as an alternative to
|
|
`REDIS_CFLAGS` and `REDIS_LDFLAGS`. (#46)
|
|
* Update template config files to replace references to Redis with Valkey. The
|
|
file valkey.conf replaces redis.conf. (#29, #171)
|
|
* Logging: Update startup, shutdown, and help logs to reference Valkey instead of
|
|
Redis. Valkey server will also show the Valkey logo at startup and show the
|
|
Valkey repositories when crashing. (#251, #252, #263, #113)
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
=========
|
|
* Cluster: Fix an issue where cluster nodes running on Redis versions earlier
|
|
than 7.0 would be unable to communicate with nodes running on Valkey 7.2. This
|
|
change also introduces a slight delay when hostnames are not displayed when a
|
|
node is first added to the cluster. (#52)
