Redis version 7.0 has been made generally available after being in development for almost a year and with three release candidates preceding it. The new version includes significant improvements to various aspects of Redis, such as Redis Functions, ACLv2, command introspection, and Sharded Pub/Sub, which represent a major evolution of existing features based on user feedback and lessons learned in production. Version 7.0 adds almost 50 new commands and options to support this evolution and extend Redis' capabilities, including the addition of new data types like bitmap, list, set, sorted set, and stream. Additionally, improvements have been made to make Redis more performant, stable, and lean by optimizing its performance vis-à-vis resources used, with some optimizations enabled by default and others requiring configuration. The development team is already working on making Redis 7.2 a reality.
