django-redis 7.0.0 (2026-06-02)

Features

Added the ability to pass redis username in the cache options (#657)
RedisCache does not attempt to close clients which have not been initialized. (#796)
Add sorted set operations (zadd, zrange, zrem, etc.) and mixins for RedisCache (#797)
Centralize configuration in pyproject.toml, drop EoL Python & Django
versions, and add support & testing for modern Python & Django versions. (#820)
Provide TypeVar defaults & provide initial typing for RedisCache. (#829)

Fix IntEnum encoding (#602)
Fix incorrect Redis typing that relied on the legacy types-redis package, and update the public API to avoid exposing redis-py key types (the encode/decode/make_key methods allow a different API surface). (#822)

Drop support for Django 5.0 (EOL) (#779)
Clean & organize ruff config (#781)
Replace black with ruff format (#782)
Update RedisCache.close to not forward kwargs to the client implementation. (#788)
Rename 'name' parameter to 'key' in all sorted set methods for better consistency with Redis terminology (#811)
Fix hash method parameters: rename 'name' → 'key', 'key' → 'field' to align with Redis/Valkey terminology. Add version parameter to hlen() and hkeys(). Fix make_key() to only apply to hash key, not fields. (#812)
pre-commit autoupdate (#819)
Use from __future__ import annotations to postpone evaluation of annotations. (#823)
Increase mypy strictness, fix typing configuration, and fix type errors. (#824)
This change updates the compose configuration, and moves it to tests
directory as it is only for testing. (#825)
Remove code handling unsupported Django versions (#826)
Increase mypy type coverage & update strictness overrides to only target specific modules (#827)
