Upgrade urgency HIGH: Potentially critical bugs fixed.
AOF flush on SHUTDOWN did not cared to really write the AOF buffers
(not in the kernel but in the Redis process memory) to disk before exiting.
Calling SHUTDOWN during traffic resulted into not every operation to be
persisted on disk.

Upgrade urgency LOW: A few rarely harmful bugs were fixed.
This release just fixes bugs that are unlikely to cause serious problems
so there is no need to update ASAP. Please, see the list of commits
for the details on the bugs fixed and credits:
o) redis-cli --bigkeys: show error when TYPE fails
o) Fix preprocessor if/else chain broken in order to fix#3927
o) Fix zmalloc_get_memory_size() ifdefs to actually use the else branch
o) Set lua-time-limit default value at safe place
o) Fix#3848 by closing the descriptor on error
o) Update block->free after some diff data are written to the child process
o) Test: fix, hopefully, false PSYNC failure like in issue #2715
o) Fix#2883, #2857 pipe fds leak when fork() failed on bg aof rw
o) Don't leak file descriptor on syncWithMaster()

Upgrade urgency CRITICAL: This release reverts back the Jemalloc upgrade
that is believed to potentially cause a server
deadlock. A MIGRATE crash is also fixed.
Two important bug fixes, the first of one is critical:
1. Apparently Jemalloc 4.4.0 may contain a deadlock under particular
conditions. See https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/3799.
We reverted back to the previously used Jemalloc versions and plan
to upgrade Jemalloc again after having more info about the
cause of the bug.
2. MIGRATE could crash the server after a socket error. See for reference:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/3796.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
Upgrade urgency MODERATE: GEORADIUS, BITFIELD and Redis Cluster minor fixes.
This release mainly fixes three bugs:
1. A bug with BITFIELD that may cause the bitmap corruption when setting offsets
larger than the current string size.
2. A GEORADIUS bug that may happen when using very large radius lengths, in
the range of 10000km or alike, due to wrong bounding box calculation.
3. A bug with Redis Cluster which crashes when reading a nodes configuration
file with zero bytes at the end, which sometimes happens with certain ext4
configurations after a system crash.

--[ Redis 3.0.7 ] Release date: 28 jan 2016
Upgrade urgency MODERATE: this release fixes important Redis Cluster bugs.
* [FIX] avg_ttl reporting in INFO improved. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Redis Cluster address update (via gossip section) processing improved
to avoid initiating inwanted handshakes.
* [FIX] Many fixes to MIGRATE multiple keys implementation. The command
could handle errors in a faulty way leading to crashes or other
unexpected behaviors. MIGRATE command refactoring.
(The analysis of the faulty conditions was conducted by
Kevin McGehee. The fix was developed by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] A Redis Cluster node crash was fixed because of wrong handling of
node->slaveof pointers.
(Reported by JackyWoo, fixed by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Fix redis-trib rebalance when nodes need to be left empty because
the specified weight is zero.
(Reported by Shahar Mor, fixed by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] MIGRATE: Never send -ASK redirections for MIGRATE when there are
open slots. Redis-trib and other cluster management utility must
always be free to move keys between nodes about open slots, in order
to reshard, fix the cluster configuration, and so forth.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Redis-trib is now able to fix more errors. A new CLUSTER subcommand
called BUMPEPOCH was introduced in order to support new modes
for the "fix" subcommand. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Cluster/Sentinel tests now use OSX leak to perform leak detection
at the end of every unit. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Detect and show server crashes during Cluster/Sentinel tests.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] More reliable Cluster/Sentinel test becuase of timing errors and
-LOADING errors. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
--[ Redis 3.0.6 ] Release date: 18 Dec 2015
Upgrade urgency: MODERATE. We fixed a crash that happens very rarely, so
updating does not hurt, but most users are unlikely to
experience this condition because it requires some odd
timing. However if you are a Redis Cluster user, upgrading
is strongly adviced since this release includes very
important improvements to Redis Cluster.
* [FIX] lua_struct.c/getnum security issue fixed. (Luca Bruno discovered it,
patched by Sun He and Chris Lamb)
* [FIX] Redis Cluster replica migration fixed. See issue #2924 for details.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Fix a race condition in processCommand() because of interactions
with freeMemoryIfNeeded(). Details in issue #2948 and especially
in the commit message d999f5a. (Race found analytically by
Oran Agra, patch by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Backported from the upcoming Redis 3.2:
MIGRATE now supports an extended multiple-keys pipelined mode, which
is an order of magnitude faster. Redis Cluster now uses this mode
in order to perform reshardings and rebalancings. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Backported from the upcoming Redis 3.2:
Redis Cluster has now support for rebalancing via the redis-trib
rebalance command. Demo here:
https://asciinema.org/a/0tw2e5740kouda0yhkqrm5790
Official documentation will be available ASAP. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Redis Cluster redis-trib.rb new "info" subcommand.
* [NEW] Redis Cluster tests improved. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Log offending memory access address on SIGSEGV/SIGBUS (Salvatore
Sanfilippo)
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
--[ Redis 3.0.5 ] Release date: 15 Oct 2015
Upgrade urgency: MODERATE, the most important thing is a fix in the replication
code that may make the slave hanging forever if the master
remains with an open socket even if it is no longer able to
reply.
* [FIX] MOVE now moves the TTL as well. A bug lasting forever... finally
fixed thanks to Andy Grunwald that reported it.
(reported by Andy Grunwald, fixed by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Fix a false positive in HSTRLEN test.
* [FIX] Fix a bug in redis-cli --pipe mode that was not able to read back
replies from the server incrementally. Now a mass import will use
a lot less memory, and you can use --pipe to do incremental streaming.
(reported by Twitter user @fsaintjacques, fixed by Salvatore
Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Slave detection of master timeout. (fixed by Kevin McGehee, refactoring
and regression test by Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Cluster: redis-trib fix can fix an additional case for opens lots.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Cluster: redis-trib import support for --copy and --replace options
(David Thomson)

<ChangeLog>
Upgrade urgency: HIGH for Redis and Sentinel. However note that in order to
fix certain replication bugs, the replication internals were
modified in a very heavy way. So while this release is
conceptually saner, it may contain regressions. For this
reason, before the release, QA activities were performed by
me (antirez) and Redis Labs and no evident bug was found.
* [FIX] A number of bugs related to replication PSYNC and the (yet experimental)
diskless replication feature were fixed. The bugs could lead to
inconsistency between masters and slaves. (Salvatore Sanfilippo, Oran
Agra fixed the issue found by Yuval Inbar)
* [FIX] A replication bug in the context of PSYNC partial resynchonization was
found and fixed. This bug happens even when diskless replication is off
in the case different slaves connect at different times while the master
is creating an RDB file, and later a partial resynchronization is
attempted by a slave that connected not as the first one. (Salvatore
Sanfilippo, Oran Agra)
* [FIX] Chained replication and PSYNC interactions leading to potential stale
chained slaves data set, see issue #2694. (Salvatore Sanfilippo fixed
an issue reported by "GeorgeBJ" user at Github)
* [FIX] redis-cli --scan iteration fixed when returned cursor overflows
32 bit signed integer. (Ofir Luzon, Yuval Inbar)
* [FIX] Senitnel: fixed a bug during the master switch process, where for a
failed conditional check, the new configuration is rewritten, during
a small window of time, in a corrupted way where the master is
also reported to be one of the slaves. This bug is rare to trigger
but apparently it happens in the wild, and the effect is to see
a replication loop where the master will try to replicate with itself.
A detailed explanation of the bug and its effects can be found in
the commit message here:
c20218eb57.
The bug was found by Jan-Erik Rediger using a static analyzer and
fixed by Salvatore Sanfilippo.
* [FIX] Sentinel lack of arity checks for certain commands.
(Rogerio Goncalves, Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Replication internals rewritten in order to be more resistant to bugs.
The replication handshake in the slave side was rewritten as a non
blocking state machine. (Salvatore Sanfilippo, Oran Agra)
* [NEW] New "replication capabilities" feature introduced in order to signal
from the master to the slave what are the features supported, so that
the master can choose the kind of replication to start (diskless or
not) when master and slave are of different versions. (Oran Agra,
Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Log clients details when SLAVEOF command is received. (Salvatore
Sanfilippo with inputs from Nick Craver and Marc Gravell).
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
--[ Redis 3.0.3 ] Release date: 17 Jul 2015
Upgrade urgency: LOW for Redis and Sentinel.
* [FIX] Fix blocking operations timeout precision when HZ is at its default
value (not increased) and there are thousands of clients connected
at the same time. This bug affected Sidekiq users that experienced
a very long delay for BLPOP and similar commands to return for
timeout. Check commit b029ff1 for more info. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] MIGRATE "creating socket: Invalid argument" error fix. Check
issues #2609 and #2612 for more info. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Be able to connect to the master even when the slave is bound to
just the loopback interface and has no valid public address in the
network the master is reacahble. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] ZADD with options encoding promotion fixed. (linfangrong)
* [FIX] Reset aof_delayed_fsync on CONFIG RESETSTATS. (Tom Kiemes)
* [FIX] PFCOUNT key parsing in cluster fixed. (MOON_CLJ)
* [FIX] Fix Solaris compilation of Redis 3.0. (Jan-Erik Rediger)
* [NEW] Variadic EXISTS command. Now the command accepts multiple arguments
and returns the total count of existing keys.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
--[ Redis 3.0.2 ] Release date: 4 Jun 2015
Upgrade urgency: HIGH for Redis because of a security issue.

* [FIX] Critical security issue fix by Ben Murphy: http://t.co/LpGTyZmfS7
* [FIX] SMOVE reply fixed when src and dst keys are the same. (Glenn Nethercutt)
* [FIX] Lua cmsgpack lib updated to support str8 type. (Sebastian Waisbrot)
* [NEW] ZADD support for options: NX, XX, CH. See new doc at redis.io.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Senitnel: CKQUORUM and FLUSHCONFIG commands back ported.

Redis 3.0 release notes
=======================
--[ Redis 3.0.0 ] Release date: 1 Apr 2015
>> What's new in Redis 3.0 compared to Redis 2.8?
* Redis Cluster: a distributed implementation of a subset of Redis.
* New "embedded string" object encoding resulting in less cache
misses. Big speed gain under certain work loads.
* AOF child -> parent final data transmission to minimize latency due
to "last write" during AOF rewrites.
* Much improved LRU approximation algorithm for keys eviction.
* WAIT command to block waiting for a write to be transmitted to
the specified number of slaves.
* MIGRATE connection caching. Much faster keys migraitons.
* MIGARTE new options COPY and REPLACE.
* CLIENT PAUSE command: stop processing client requests for a
specified amount of time.
* BITCOUNT performance improvements.
* CONFIG SET accepts memory values in different units (for example
you can use "CONFIG SET maxmemory 1gb").
* Redis log format slightly changed reporting in each line the role of the
instance (master/slave) or if it's a saving child log.
* INCR performance improvements.
>> Refactoring changes (no new features nor bug fixes)
* Blocking operations full refactoring (blocked.c)
* Client output buffer memory tracking refactored.

* [FIX] A number of typos fixed inside comments. (Various authors)
* [FIX] redis-cli no longer quits after long timeouts. (Matt Stancliff)

--[ Redis 2.8.17 ] Release date: 19 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis Sentinel.
LOW for Redis Server (unmodified compared to 2.8.16).
* [FIX] Resolved a memory leak in the hiredis library causing a memory leak
in Redis Sentinel when a monitored instance or another Sentinel is
unavailable. Every reconnection attempt will leak a small amount of
memory, but in the long run the process can reach a considerable size.
--[ Redis 2.8.16 ] Release date: 16 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis if you are using 2.8.15 + AOF.
LOW for Sentinel.
* [FIX] The ability to load truncated AOF files introduced with Redis 2.8.15
contains a bug fixed in this release: after loading the file was not
truncated to the last valid command, so the new commands are appended
after a non well formed command. This means that:
1) The first AOF rewrite triggered by the server will automatically
fix the problem.
2) However, if the server is restarted before the rewrite, Redis may
not be able to load the file and you need to manually fix it.
In order to fix a corrupted file you should start the redis-check-aof
utility WITHOUT the --fix option, just to check the offset where the
corruption is found. Around the offset reported by the check utility
you'll find, inside your AOF file, a command which is not complete
according to the Redis protocol. Just remove this incomplete command
leafing the file unaltered before and after the offending command,
and restart the server.
IMPORTANT #1: Redis 2.8.15 is the only stable version of Redis with
this bug so probably no actual real-world problem happened since the
problem is automatically fixed at the first automatic AOF rewrite.
IMPORTANT #2: Before upgrading to Redis 2.8.16, if you are using Redis
2.8.15 with AOF enabled, make sure to trigger a manual AOF rewrite
using the BGREWRITEAOF command.
* [FIX] SAVE is no longer propagated to AOF / slaves.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
--[ Redis 2.8.15 ] Release date: 12 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: LOW for Redis, HIGH for Sentinel.
* [FIX] Sentinel critical bug fixed: the absolute majority was computed in a
wrong way because of a programming error. Now the implementation does
what the specification says and the majority to authorize a failover
(that should not be confused with the ODOWN quorum) is the majority of
*all* the Sentinels ever seen for a given master, regardless of their
current state.
* [FIX] GETRANGE test no longer fails for 32 bit builds (Matt Stancliff).
* [FIX] Limit SCAN latency when the hash table is in an odd state (very few
populted buckets because rehashing is in progress). (Xiaost and
Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Redis is now able to load truncated AOF files without requiring a
redis-check-aof utility run. The default now is to load truncated
(but apparently not corrupted) AOFs, you can change this in redis.conf.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo).
* [NEW] Sentinel: ability to announce itself with an arbitrary IP/port to work
in the context of natted networks. However this is probably still
not enough since there is no equivalent mechanism for slaves listed
in the master INFO output. (Dara Kong and Salvatore Sanfilippo)

# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis, CRITICAL for Sentinel.
# WARNING: This release contains a non backward compatible semantical change
to Lua script that should affect an almost zero number of users.
* [FIX / BREAKS BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY] Using SELECT inside Lua scripts no
longer makes the selected DB to be set in the calling client.
So Lua can still use SELECT, but the client calling the script will
remain set to the original DB. Thix fixes an issue with Redis
replication of Lua scripts that called SELECT without reverting the
selected DB to the original one. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Sentinel failover was instalbe if the master was detected as available
during the failover (especially during manual failovers) because
of an implementation error (lack of checking of
SRI_PROMOTED flag). (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Cancel SHUTDOWN if initial AOF is being written. (Matt Stancliff)
* [FIX] Sentinel: bind source address for outcoming connections. (Matt
Stancliff).
* [FIX] Less timing sensitive Sentinel tests. (Salvatore Sanfilippo).
* [NEW] redis-cli --intrinsic-latency stopped with SIGINT still reports
stats (Matt Stancliff)
* [NEW] Sentinels broadcast an HELLO message ASAP after a failover in order to
reach a consistent state faster (before it relied for periodic HELLO
messages). (Salvatore Sanfilippo).
* [NEW] Jemalloc updated to 3.6.0. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] CLIENT LIST speedup. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] CLIENT LIST new unique incremental ID to every client. (Salvatore

--[ Redis 2.8.11 ] Release date: 11 Jun 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH if you use Lua scripting, LOW otherwise.
* [FIX] A previous fix for Lua -> Redis numerical precision enhancement
introduced a new problem. In Redis 2.8.10 commands called from Lua
passing a string that "looks like" a very large number, may actually
use as argument the string converted as a float. This bug is now
fixed.
* [FIX] Now commands other than *PUSH* adding elements to a list will be able
to awake clients blocked in a blocking POP operation.
* [FIX] Cygwin compilation fixes.
--[ Redis 2.8.10 ] Release date: 5 Jun 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH if you use min-slaves-to-write option.
* [FIX] IMPORTANT! A min-slaves-to-write option active in a slave totally
prevented the slave from acception the master stream of commands.
This release includes testes for min-slaves-to-write, and a fix
for this issue.
* [FIX] Sometimes DEL returned 1 for already expired keys. Fixed.
* [FIX] Fix test false positive because new osx 'leaks' output.
* [FIX] PFCOUNT HLL cache invalidation fixed: no wrong value was reported
but the cache was not used at all, leading to lower performances.
* [FIX] Accept(2) multiple clients per readable-event invocation, and better
processing of I/O while loading or busy running a timedout script.
Basically now the LOADING / BUSY errors are reported at a decent
speed.
* [FIX] A softwaer watchdog crash fixed.
* [FIX] Fixed a Lua -> Redis numerical precision loss.
* [NEW] Lua scripting engine speed improved.
* [NEW] Sentinel generates one new event for humans to understand better
what is happening during a failover: +config-update-from.
Also the time at which a failover will be re-attempted is logged.

</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
# UPGRADE URGENCY: LOW for Redis, LOW for Sentinel. However this release adds
new features so users may want to upgrade in order to
exploit the new functionalities.
* [FIX] Sometimes the absolute config file path was obtained in a wrong way.
This happened when there was a "dir" directive inside the config file
and at the same time the configuration file was given as a relative
path to redis-server or redis-sentinel executables.
* [FIX] redis-cli: Automatically enter --slave mode when SYNC or PSYNC are
called during an interactive session.
* [FIX] Sentinel "IDONTKNOW" error removed as it does not made sense with the
new Sentinel design. This error was actually a fix for a design error
in the first implementation of Sentinel.
* [FIX] Sentinel: added a missing exit() call to abort after config file
checks at startup. This error was introduced with an improvement in
a previous 2.8 release.
* [FIX] BITCOUNT: fixed unaligned access causing issues in sparc and other
archs not capable of dealing with unaligned accesses. This also makes
the code faster in archs where unaligned accesses are allowed.
* [FIX] Sentinel: better nodes fail over start time desynchronization to avoid
split-brain during the voting process needed to get authorization to
fail over. This means the system is less likely to need to retry
and will fail over faster. No changes in behavior / correctness.
* [FIX] Force INFO used_memory_peak to match peak memory. This generated some
confusion among users even if it was not an actual bug.
* [NEW] Sentinel unit tests and framework. More tests needed and units must
be improved in order to have less false positives, but it is a start
and features a debugging console that is useful to fix tests or to
inspect bugs causing tests failures.
* [NEW] New Sentinel events: +/-monitor and +set used to monitor when an
instance to monitor is added or removed, or when a configuration
is modified via SENTINEL SET.
* [NEW] Redis-cli updated to use SCAN instead of random sampling via
RANDOMKEY in order to implement --bigkeys feature. Moreover the
implementation now supports pipelining and reports more information
at the end of the scan. Much faster, much better. A special thank
you to Michael Grunder for this improvement.
* [NEW] redis-cli now supports a new --intrinsic-latency mode that is able
to meter the latency of a system due to kernel / hypervisor.
How to use it is explained at http://redis.io/topics/latency.
* [NEW] New command BITPOS: find first bit set or clear in a bitmap.
* [NEW] CONFIG REWRITE calls are now logged.

--[ Redis 2.8.6 ] Release date: 13 Feb 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis, LOW for Sentinel. Redis users using Lua
scripts with EVALSHA and attached slaves and/or AOF
persistence should consider upgrading ASAP.
* [FIX] Fixed an critical EVALSHA script cache bug: scripts executed may not
propagate to AOF / Slaves correctly under certain conditions.
See issue #1549 at Github for more information.
* [FIX] Fixed multiple bugs resulting into closing the link with master or slave
during replication without good reasons. This will result in useless
resynchronizations, or infinite loops where the replication link can't
be established.
* [FIX] Don't count the time needed to populate the buffers of clients waiting
in MONITOR mode when populating the Slow Log entries.
* [NEW] AOF write errors (like no space on device) no longer abort Redis if the
fsync policy is none or every second. The database enters a read-only
mode where every write is refused with an error. Normal operations are
restored as soon as Redis is able to append again data to the AOF file.
* [NEW] Sentinel now accepts SHUTDOWN command.
--[ Redis 2.8.5 ] Release date: 4 Feb 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis, LOW for Sentinel. Redis users using Lua
scripts with expires, and Redis users relying on the
ability of Redis to block writes on RDB saving errors
should plan to upgrade ASAP.
* [FIX] Fixed a replication bug caused by Lua scripts + expired keys: keys could
expire in the middle of scripts causing non-deterministic behavior.
* [FIX] MISCONFIG error if condition fixed, the server was no longer able
to stop writes on RDB misconfiguration after this error was introduced.
* [FIX] REDIS_AOF_REWRITE_MIN_SIZE is now 64mb like example redis.conf default.
* [FIX] Perform fflush() before fsync() in rio.c (bug without actual effects).
* [FIX] Don't log MONITOR clients as disconnecting slaves.
* [FIX] SENTINEL MASTER arity check fixed. Crashed the Sentinel instance when
the command was given without arguments.
* [NEW] Allow CONFIG and SHUTDOWN while in stale-slave state.
* [NEW] Support for configurable TCP listen(2) backlog size.
* [NEW] redis-cli supports SCAN via the --scan and --pattern options.
* [NEW] SENTINEL SET master quorum via runtime API implemented.

# UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE for Redis and Sentinel.
* [FIX] Makefile compatibility with non common make variants improved.
* [FIX] SDIFF crash in very unlikely to trigger state fixed.
* [FIX] Config rewriting fixed: don't wipe options unknown to the rewrite
process.
* [FIX] Set TCP port to 0 works again to disable TCP networking.
* [FIX] Fixed replication with old Redis instances as masters by not
sending REPLCONF ACK to them.
* [FIX] Fix keyspace notifications rewrite and CONFIG GET output.
* [FIX] Fix RESTORE TTL handling in 32 bit systems (32 bit overflow).
* [NEW] Sentinel now has a run time configuration API.
* [NEW] Log when we lost connection with master or slave.
* [NEW] When instance is turned from slave to master now inherits the
old master replication offset when possible. This improves the
Sentinel failover procedure.
</ChangeLog>
Use modern name for dependent libraries.

# UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE for Redis, HIGH for Sentinel.
* [FIX] Sentinel instance role sampling fixed, the system is now more
reliable during failover and when reconfiguring instances with
non matching configuration.
* [FIX] Inline requests are now handled even when terminated with just LF.
* [FIX] Replication timeout handling greatly improved, now the slave is able
to ping the master while removing the old data from memory, and while
loading the new RDB file. This avoid false timeouts sensed by
masters.
* [FIX] Fixed a replication bug involving 32 bit instances and big datasets
hard to compress that resulted into more than 2GB of RDB file sent.
* [FIX] Return error for inline requests with unbalanced quotes.
* [FIX] Publish the slave replication offset even when disconnected from the
master if there is still a cached master instance.

# UPGRADE URGENCY: MODERATE for both Redis and Sentinel.
* [FIX] Sentinel better desynchronization to avoid split-brain elections
where no Sentinel managed to get elected.
* [FIX] Stop accepting writes on "MISCONF" error only if master, not slave.
* [FIX] Reply to PING with an error on "MISCONF" errors.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
# UPGRADE URGENCY: LOW for Redis, CRITICAL for Senitnel. You don't need to
upgrade your Redis instances but it is highly recommended
to upgrade and restart all the Sentinel processes.
* [FIX] Fixed a bug in "new Sentinel" config propagation.
* [FIX] Fixed a false positive in Redis tests.
</ChangeLog>
<ChangeLog>
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.
