6.2.0-beta.0

✨ Highlights

This release brings a broad wave of new command coverage across the client and modules. The time-series package gains the most: new TS.NRANGE/TS.NREVRANGE multi-key pivot commands, a TS.READ cursor reader, TS.QUERYLABELS, EXCLUDEEMPTY on MRANGE/MREVRANGE, and multi-aggregator support. RediSearch adds FT.ALIASLIST, a COLLECT reducer for FT.AGGREGATE, HNSW RERANK, timeout warnings on the FT.SEARCH family, and the full set of stemmer languages. The core client adds SUNIONCARD/SDIFFCARD, LMOVEM/BLMOVEM, ZREVRANK WITHSCORE, COMMAND DOCS, and XREAD MAXCOUNT/MAXSIZE. A large batch of correctness fixes lands for zero-valued optional arguments (LIMIT 0, DB 0, SAMPLES 0, ENTRIESREAD 0, IDLETIME/FREQ 0, ENTRIESADDED 0) that were previously dropped from the wire, alongside several cluster and sentinel connection-lifecycle fixes.

The new HIMPORT command family (managed fieldset lifecycle) ships as experimental — see the warning below.

🚀 New Features

⚠️ Experimental

  • feat(client): add HIMPORT command family with managed fieldset lifecycle (#3381) — @nkaradzhov. The HIMPORT family and its FieldsetRegistry/PreparedFieldsets API are experimental and unstable; the surface may change or be removed in a future release. Do not depend on it in production.
