Good day, and welcome to Redis, your daily developer briefing for July 19th, 2026.
Today's theme is build environment reliability — two separate fixes address confusion and failures developers hit when building Redis outside the most common setup.
First, documentation accuracy. Pull request 15481 fixes a contradiction in the macOS build instructions in the README. The note about RediSearch said the build path does not prepend the libtool binary directory from Homebrew — but the actual command right below it does prepend that path. Since the working build…
Second, and more consequential: pull request 15482 fixes cross-compilation for jemalloc. The deps Makefile only passed a host triplet to jemalloc's configure script when a Debian-specific environment variable was set. That works fine for Debian packaging, but developers using other cross-compilation toolchains — the…
Both of these trace back to real user-filed issues — numbers 15344 and 15395 — suggesting they're fixes for pain points people actually hit, not speculative cleanup.
Separately, pull request 15483 bumps the bundled RedisTimeSeries module to version 8.9.91. It's a manifest-only change — no changes to the load-module path…
