redis/jedis v8.0.0-beta1

8.0.0-beta1

on GitHub

Jedis 8.0.0-beta1 is the first pre-release of the upcoming 8.0 major line. It focused on completing the client class consolidation, modernizing protocol defaults, tightening security defaults, and adding support for new Redis 8.8 commands.

• RESP3 auto-negotiation on by default for all UnifiedJedis-based clients (with graceful RESP2 fallback)
• Final removal of legacy JedisPooled / JedisSentineled classes in favor of the RedisClient family introduced in 7.0.0
• Removal of deprecated UnifiedJedis public constructors
• Internal refactoring that affects users of low-level extension points (custom CommandExecutor, Transaction subclasses, ClusterPipeline, CommandObjects) — protocol and connection wiring is now explicit at construction time
• Search modernization — the low-level cursor APIs are superseded by ftAggregateIterator(), and the manual broadcast API is removed (Redis 8.0+ broadcasts FT.CREATE server-side)
• New Redis 8.8 command coverage — XNACK, JSON.SET FPHA, Array commands, INCREX, COUNT aggregator on ZINTER / ZUNION(STORE) and their *STORE variants, multi-aggregator TS.RANGE / TS.MRANGE, plus an experimental COLLECT parameter for FT.AGGREGATE
• TLS hostname verification enforced by default in DefaultJedisSocketFactory
