A few days ago, Redis 2.4.0, then Redis 2.4.1, have been released with some important changes since the 2.2 branch :

  1. a bunch of optimizations for both size and speed
  2. improved RDB persistence
  3. deprecated VM
  4. no Redis cluster
  5. no scripting

I’m proud to announce that packages of Redis 2.4.1 are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” amd64/i386.
