Good day. It's July 30th, 2026, and here's what moved in Redis.
The clearest thread today is TLS. PR 15556 adds a new tls-curve-preferences configuration, letting operators control which elliptic curve groups OpenSSL negotiates during a handshake. This fills a gap where Redis already let you configure protocol versions and cipher lists, but not the underlying curve selection -…
Second theme: stability work on the older 6.2 branch. PR 15543, merged from sundb, targets daily CI failures by replacing raw process-freezing signals with dedicated pause and resume functions in the test harness. That's a small but meaningful maintainability fix - tests that simulate a frozen replica are less…
Meanwhile, PR 15555 confirms 8.10 is a substantial release: compact hash encoding to cut memory usage, a new bulk-insert command called H-import, multi-element list moves, and cardinality commands for set unions and differences. It's linked to five separate issues, underscoring the scope.
What to watch: the curve preferences PR needs another review pass before merging, and the 8.10 GA description is still partial, so more changes may land before release. If you're planning TLS policy work, track PR…
That'…
