A new project to resume development on the formerly open-source Redis project. We're calling it Valkey, since it's a twist on the key-value datastore.
Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the first stable release of Valkey 7.2.5.
Upgrade urgency LOW: Second release candidate for Valkey with API compatibility for OSS Redis 7.2.4. Moving to a release candidate on 7.2.5, to make it clearer this is a patch iteration as opposed to an exact copy of OSS Redis. Also includes fixes to minor bugs present in 7.2.4 RC1 and more compatibility changes.
Upgrade urgency LOW: Initial release of Valkey with API compatibility for OSS Redis 7.2.4. This release is based off of OSS Redis 7.2.4, with additional functionality to better brand the server as Valkey instead of Redis. All APIs are fully backwards compatible and care was taken to minimize the number of log lines that were changed to best support existing tooling around log parsing.
