9.17.0

🚀 Highlights

Redis 8.4 Support

Added support for Redis 8.4, including new commands and features (#3572)

Typed Errors

Introduced typed errors for better error handling using errors.As instead of string checks. Errors can now be wrapped and set to commands in hooks without breaking library functionality (#3602)

New Commands

• CAS/CAD Commands: Added support for Compare-And-Set/Compare-And-Delete operations with conditional matching (IFEQ, IFNE, IFDEQ, IFDNE) (#3583, #3595)
• MSETEX: Atomically set multiple key-value pairs with expiration options and conditional modes (#3580)
• XReadGroup CLAIM: Consume both incoming and idle pending entries from streams in a single call (#3578)
• ACL Commands: Added ACLGenPass, ACLUsers, and ACLWhoAmI (#3576)
• SLOWLOG Commands: Added SLOWLOG LEN and SLOWLOG RESET (#3585)
• LATENCY Commands: Added LATENCY LATEST and LATENCY RESET (#3584)

Search & Vector Improvements

• Hybrid Search: Added EXPERIMENTAL support for the new FT.HYBRID command (#3573)
• Vector Range: Added VRANGE command for vector sets (#3543)
• FT.INFO Enhancements: Added vector-specific attributes in FT.INFO response (#3596)

Connection Pool Improvements

• Improved Connection Success Rate: Implemented FIFO queue-based fairness and context pattern for connection creation to prevent premature cancellation under high concurrency (#3518)
• Connection State Machine: Resolved race conditions and improved pool performance with proper state tracking (#3559)
• Pool Performance: Significant performance improvements with faster semaphores, lockless hook manager, and reduced allocations (47-67% faster Get/Put operations) (#3565)

Metrics & Observability

• Canceled Metric Attribute: Added 'canceled' metrics attribute to distinguish context cancellation errors from other errors (#3566)

• LATENCY commands: LATEST, RESET (#3584) by @destinyoooo
• Hybrid search command (FT.HYBRID) (#3573) by @htemelski-redis
• Vector range command (VRANGE) (#3543) by @cxljs
• Vector-specific attributes in FT.INFO (#3596) by @ndyakov
• Improved connection pool success rate with FIFO queue (#3518) by @cyningsun
• Canceled metrics attribute for context errors (#3566) by @pvragov

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Failover Client MaintNotificationsConfig (#3600) by @ajax16384
• Fixed ACLGenPass function to use the bit parameter (#3597) by @destinyoooo
• Return error instead of panic from commands (#3568) by @dragneelfps
• Safety harness in joinErrors to prevent panic (#3577) by @manisharma

⚡ Performance

• Connection state machine with race condition fixes (#3559) by @ndyakov
• Pool performance improvements: 47-67% faster Get/Put, 33% less memory, 50% fewer allocations (#3565) by @ndyakov

🧪 Testing & Infrastructure

• Updated to Redis 8.4.0 image (#3603) by @ndyakov
• Added Redis 8.4-RC1-pre to CI (#3572) by @ndyakov
• Refactored tests for idiomatic Go (#3561, #3562, #3563) by @12ya

Full Changelog: v9.16.0...v9.17.0

9.16.0

🚀 Highlights

Maintenance Notifications Support

This release introduces comprehensive support for Redis maintenance notifications, enabling applications to handle server maintenance events gracefully. The new maintnotifications package provides:

• RESP3 Push Notifications: Full support for Redis RESP3 protocol push notifications
• Connection Handoff: Automatic connection migration during server maintenance with configurable retry policies and circuit breakers
• Graceful Degradation: Configurable timeout relaxation during maintenance windows to prevent false failures
• Event-Driven Architecture: Background workers with on-demand scaling for efficient handoff processing

For detailed usage examples and configuration options, see the maintenance notifications documentation.

✨ New Features

• Trace Filtering: Add support for filtering traces for specific commands, including pipeline operations and dial operations (#3519, #3550)
  • New TraceCmdFilter option to selectively trace commands
  • Reduces overhead by excluding high-frequency or low-value commands from traces

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Pipeline Error Handling: Fix issue where pipeline repeatedly sets the same error (#3525)
• Connection Pool: Ensure re-authentication does not interfere with connection handoff operations (#3547)

🔧 Improvements

• Hash Commands: Update hash command implementations (#3523)
• OpenTelemetry: Use metric.WithAttributeSet to avoid unnecessary attribute copying in redisotel (#3552)

📚 Documentation

• Cluster Client: Add explanation for why MaxRetries is disabled for ClusterClient (#3551)

🧪 Testing & Infrastructure

• E2E Testing: Upgrade E2E testing framework with improved reliability and coverage (#3541)
• Release Process: Improved resiliency of the release process (#3530)

📦 Dependencies

• Bump rojopolis/spellcheck-github-actions from 0.51.0 to 0.52.0 (#3520)
