--[ 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.
