--[ Redis 2.8 Release Candidate 4 (2.7.104) ] Release date: 30 Aug 2013
This is the fourth release candidate of Redis 2.8 (official version is 2.7.104).
Important bugs fixed inside.
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH because of the EVAL memory leak.
* [FIX] Fixed a serious EVAL memory leak in the Lua stack.
* [FIX] Fixed server startup when no IPv6 address exists in any interface.
* [FIX] Send MISCONFIG error when BGSAVE fails because can't fork.
* [FIX] Memory efficiency with large (> a few kbytes) values improved considerably.
* [NEW] DEBUG SDSLEN for sds memory debugging.

UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE.
* [FIX] Stop writes when fork() fails when trying to BGSAVE. BGSAVE errors
were trapped only in the case the saving child failed, so the fork()
error was no trapped as no child is created at all.
* [FIX] Fix a serious memory efficiency regression, Redis 2.6.16 is
significantly better with large values (>= a few kbytes) and will
be able to store two times the amount of data compared to Redis 2.6.15
when values are in that range.
* [FIX] Fixed an issue with Table conversion in the lua-cmsgpack library exposed
by the Redis scripting engine.
* [NEW] DEBUG SDSLEN was introduced to debug memory inefficiencies due to
SDS allocation more easily.
</ChangeLog>
Update dependent packages with more recent releases.
Remove old and bit-rotted ones.
Switch to using clang 3.3 and libobjc2 1.7 by default, so modern Objective-C features work out of the box and remove a lot of configurable options for sub-optimal (and, often, unsupported / deprecated upstream) configurations.
Take maintainership of GNUstep-related ports.
Several of the ports left in have scary warnings which mean that they are likely broken in lots of cases. Future commits will fix them.

UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE, upgrade ASAP only if you experience issues related to
the expired keys collection algorithm, or if you use the
ZUNIONSTORE command.
* [FIX] Improved expired keys collection algorithm. Even under heavy load keys
to be expired can't accumulate because of lack of CPU time.
* [FIX] Fixed Issue #1240, ZUNIONSTORE could lead to wrong result.
* [NEW] redis-benchmark improvements.
* [NEW] dict.c API wrong usage detection.
WARNING: redis-benchmark released with 2.6.15 features non backward compatible
change in the way the random arguments are specified, use the --help
option for more information.
