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>
Add support for lang/lua, disabled by default.
<ChangeLog>
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.

UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH because of the following two issues:
* Lua scripting + Replication + AOF in slaves problem (see Issue #1164).
* AOF + expires possible race condition (see Issue #1079).
* [FIX] AOF bug: expire could be removed from key on AOF rewrite.
* [FIX] Allow writes from scripts called by AOF loading in read-only slaves.
* [FIX] Sentinel: parse new verison of INFO replication output correctly.
* [NEW] Reset masterauth if an empty string is configured.

UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE
Warning: this release of Redis introduces a different behavior in MULTI/EXEC
handling of errors. This was done because the new behavior is safer
compared to the old one, and should not break any code targeting
Redis 2.6 in a critical way.
For more information check http://redis.io/topics/transactions

Redis 2.2.11 with support for Lua scripting, backported from the
scripting branch. Instructions about how to use it are contained
in following blog post:
http://antirez.com/post/scripting-branch-released.html
Connect to build.
Add CONFLICTS and bump PORTREVISION for databases/redis.
Create/remove necessary directories in install/deinstall process.
Optimize SUB_LIST.
PRs: ports/158115, ports/158190
<ChangeLog>
* Solved a never reported but possibly critical bug in the AOF
and RDB persistence, introduced with the new version of the
iterator: In very rare circumstances the AOF (after rerwite)
or the rdb file may contain the same key more than one time.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
* Fix for issue 566. It was possible for SETNX to behave in abnormal
ways.
* Work with make v3.80
* redis-cli updated to the same version as the 2.4 branch. Now the
reconnection handling is better. You can prefix commands with a
number to execute the command the specified number of times. When
using -r in non interactive mode it is possible to set a delay
between commands.
* Better init script.

<ChangeLog>
* A Slave used to rewrite the AOF log after a sync with the
master, but the rewrite was performed at the wrong time,
causing inconsistencies in the AOF file generated.
* [LR]LPUSH replication in presence of BRPOPLPUSH was
broken. Fixed.
* Memory leak in BRPOPLPUSH fixed.
* Pub/Sub bug resulting in random crashes fixed.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
* A new form of dict.c (hash table implementation) iterator that performs less
copy-on-write of pages, introduced in Redis 2.2.7, caused ZINTERSTORE,
ZUNIONSTORE, SINTER, SINTERSTORE commands to behave in the wrong way.
This bug is now fixed.
* Print version info before running the test with 'make test'. This is mainly
useful for the Continuous Integration system we run.
* Fix for DEBUG DIGEST, key may expire on lookup, producing the wrong result.
* Replication with expire test modified to produce no or less false failures.
* Fixed Z*STORE when dealing with intsets, regression test added.
</ChangeLog>
Also update port infrastructure, remove needless script.

What's new in Redis 2.2.7
=========================
* Fixed bug #543-2 (the issue was reopened with a completely different report)
that caused Redis to randomly crash on list push performed against lists
with other clients blocked with BLPOP (or variants).
What's new in Redis 2.2.6
=========================
* Fixed bug #543. If you saw Redis instances crashing on List operations
(only happening with a non-default max entry size ziplist setting in
redis.conf) it was almost certainly this problem.
* Fixed a bug with replication where SLAVEOF NO ONE caused a slave to close the
connection with all its slaves.
