Redis 2.8.6

Redis 2.8.6 has been released on February 13th 2014, bringing the following changes (take a look at the Changelog) :

  • [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.

The upgrade urgency is high for Redis, low for Sentinel. Redis users using Lua scripts with EVALSHA and attached slaves and/or AOF persistence should consider upgrading ASAP.

The packages are now available for both Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Redis 2.8.5

Redis 2.8.5 has been released on February 4th 2014, bringing the following changes (take a look at the Changelog) :

  • [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.

The 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 a.s.a.p.

The packages are now available for both Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures.
