Good morning. This is your Redis weekly recap for March 30th through April 6th, 2026.
Zero pull requests merged, 12 additional commits this week.
**Bug Fixes**
The most significant fix addresses the PFMERGE command's key handling when called with only a destination key. Antoni Dikov's commit adds a dedicated getkeys callback to properly handle this edge case that was previously causing invalid spec errors.
Debing Sun contributed two important test fixes. The first resolves TCP deadlock issues in cluster and memory efficiency tests by draining replies every 500 pipelined requests to prevent buffer overflow stalls. The second fix addresses missed test failures in the SDS unit tests while adding ANSI color highlighting…
A cluster pubshard test received a fix for flaky behavior where unsubscribe responses weren't being properly consumed, causing timing issues in channel verification.
