Redis Release Candidate (RC) versions are early versions that are made available for early adopters in the community to test them. We do not consider them suitable for production environments. Introduction to the Redis 7.0 release ===================================== Redis 7.0 includes several new user-facing features, significant performance optimizations, and many other improvements. It also includes changes that potentially break backwards compatibility with older versions. We urge users to review the release notes carefully before upgrading. In particular, users should be aware of the following changes: 1. Redis 7 stores AOF as multiple files in a folder; see Multi-Part AOF below. 2. Redis 7 uses a new version 10 format for RDB files, which is incompatible with older versions. 3. Redis 7 converts ziplist encoded keys to listpacks on the fly when loading an older RDB format. Conversion applies to loading a file from disk or replicating from a Redis master and will slightly increase loading time. 4. See sections about breaking changes mentioned below. Here is a comprehensive list of changes in this release compared to 6.2.6. Each one includes the PR number that added it so that you can get more details at https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/ New Features ============ * Redis Functions: A new way to extend Redis with server-side scripts (#8693) see https://redis.io/topics/functions-intro * ACL: Fine-grained key-based permissions and allow users to support multiple sets of command rules with selectors (#9974) see https://redis.io/topics/acl#key-permissions and https://redis.io/topics/acl#selectors. * Cluster: Sharded (node-specific) Pub/Sub support (#8621) see https://redis.io/topics/pubsub#sharded-pubsub * First-class handling of sub-commands in most contexts (affecting ACL categories, INFO commandstats, etc.) (#9504, #10147) * Command metadata and documentation (#10104) see https://redis.io/commands/command-docs, https://redis.io/topics/command-tips * Command key-specs.
