Unreleased

5.3.0

Fix the return type of hgetall when used inside a multi transaction which is itself inside a pipeline.

5.2.0

Now require Ruby 2.6 because redis-client does.
Eagerly close subscribed connection when using subscribe_with_timeout. See #1259.
Add exception flag in pipelined allowing failed commands to be returned in the result array when set to false.

5.1.0

multi now accept a watch keyword argument like redis-client. See #1236.
bitcount and bitpos now accept a scale: argument on Redis 7+. See #1242
Added expiretime and pexpiretime. See #1248.

5.0.8

Fix Redis#without_reconnect for sentinel clients. Fix #1212.
Add sentinel_username, sentinel_password for sentinel clients. Bump redis-client to >=0.17.0. See #1213

5.0.7

Fix compatibility with redis-client 0.15.0 when using Redis Sentinel. Fix #1209.

5.0.6

Wait for an extra config.read_timeout in blocking commands rather than an arbitrary 100ms. See #1175.
Treat ReadOnlyError as ConnectionError. See #1168.

5.0.5

Fix automatic disconnection when the process was forked. See #1157.

5.0.4

Cast ttl argument to integer in expire, setex and a few others.

5.0.3

Add OutOfMemoryError as a subclass of CommandError

5.0.2

Fix Redis#close to properly reset the fork protection check.

5.0.1

Added a fake Redis::Connections.drivers method to be compatible with older sidekiq versions.

5.0.0

Default client timeout decreased from 5 seconds to 1 second.
Eagerly and strictly cast Integer and Float parameters.
Allow to call subscribe, unsubscribe, psubscribe and punsubscribe from a subscribed client. See #1131.
Use MD5 for hashing server nodes in Redis::Distributed. This should improve keys distribution among servers. See #1089.
Changed sadd and srem to now always return an Integer.
Added sadd? and srem? which always return a Boolean.
Added support for IDLE paramter in xpending.
Cluster support has been moved to a redis-clustering companion gem.
select no longer record the current database. If the client has to reconnect after select was used, it will reconnect to the original database.
Better support Float timeout in blocking commands. See #977.
Redis.new will now raise an error if provided unknown options.
Removed positional timeout in blocking commands (BLPOP, etc). Timeout now must be passed as an option: r.blpop("key", timeout: 2.5)
Removed logger option.
Removed reconnect_delay_max and reconnect_delay, you can pass precise sleep durations to reconnect_attempts instead.
Require Ruby 2.5+.
Removed the deprecated queue and commit methods. Use pipelined instead.
Removed the deprecated Redis::Future#==.
Removed the deprecated pipelined and multi signature. Commands now MUST be called on the block argument, not the original redis instance.
Removed Redis.current. You shouldn't assume there is a single global Redis connection, use a connection pool instead, and libaries using Redis should accept a Redis instance (or connection pool) as a config. E.g. MyLibrary.redis = Redis.new(...).
Removed the synchrony driver.
Removed Redis.exists_returns_integer, it's now always enabled.

4.8.1

Automatically reconnect after fork regardless of reconnect_attempts

4.8.0

Introduce sadd? and srem? as boolean returning versions of sadd and srem.
Deprecate sadd and srem returning a boolean when called with a single argument. To enable the redis 5.0 behavior you can set Redis.sadd_returns_boolean = false.
Deprecate passing timeout as a positional argument in blocking commands (brpop, blop, etc).

4.7.1

Gracefully handle OpenSSL 3.0 EOF Errors (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_read: unexpected eof while reading). See #1106 This happens frequently on heroku-22.

4.7.0

Support single endpoint architecture with SSL/TLS in cluster mode. See #1086.
zrem and zadd act as noop when provided an empty list of keys. See #1097.
Support IPv6 URLs.
Add Redis#with for better compatibility with connection_pool usage.
Fix the block form of multi called inside pipelined. Previously the MUTLI/EXEC wouldn't be sent. See #1073.

4.6.0

Deprecate Redis.current.

Deprecate calling commands on Redis inside Redis#pipelined. See #1059.

redis.pipelined do
  redis.get("key")
end

should be replaced by:

redis.pipelined do |pipeline|
  pipeline.get("key")
end

Deprecate calling commands on Redis inside Redis#multi. See #1059.

redis.multi do
  redis.get("key")
end

should be replaced by:

redis.multi do |transaction|
  transaction.get("key")
end

Deprecate Redis#queue and Redis#commit. See #1059.
Fix zpopmax and zpopmin when called inside a pipeline. See #1055.
Redis#synchronize is now private like it should always have been.
Add Redis.silence_deprecations= to turn off deprecation warnings. If you don't wish to see warnings yet, you can set Redis.silence_deprecations = true. It is however heavily recommended to fix them instead when possible.
Add Redis.raise_deprecations= to turn deprecation warnings into errors. This makes it easier to identitify the source of deprecated APIs usage. It is recommended to set Redis.raise_deprecations = true in development and test environments.
Add new options to ZRANGE. See #1053.
Add ZRANGESTORE command. See #1053.
Add SCAN support for Redis::Cluster. See #1049.

Add ZUNION command. See #1042.
Add HRANDFIELD command. See #1040.

4.5.1

Restore the accidential auth behavior of redis-rb 4.3.0 with a warning. If provided with the default user's password, but a wrong username, redis-rb will first try to connect as the provided user, but then will fallback to connect as the default user with the provided password. This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in Redis 4.6.0. Fix #1038.

4.2.3

Use io/wait instead of IO.select in the ruby connector. See #960.
Use exception free non blocking IOs in the ruby connector. See #926.
Prevent corruption of the client when an interrupt happen during inside a pipeline block. See #945.

Deprecate the synchrony driver. It will be removed in 5.0 and hopefully maintained as a separate gem. See #915.
Make Redis#exists variadic, will return an Integer if called with multiple keys.
Add Redis#exists? to get a Boolean if any of the keys exists.

Dropped official support for Ruby < 2.2.2.

3.3.5

Fixed Ruby 1.8 compatibility after backporting Redis#connection. See #719.

3.3.4 (yanked)

3.3.2

Added support for SPOP with COUNT. See #628.
Fixed connection glitches when using SSL. See #644.

Added Redis#disconnect! as a public-API way of disconnecting the client (without needing to use QUIT). See #506.
Fixed Sentinel support with Hiredis.
Fixed Sentinel support when using authentication and databases.
Improved resilience when trying to contact sentinels.

3.2.0

Redis Sentinel support.

3.1.0

Added debug log sanitization (#428).
Added support for HyperLogLog commands (Redis 2.8.9, #432).
Added support for BITPOS command (Redis 2.9.11, #412).
The client will now automatically reconnect after a fork (#414).
If you want to disable the fork-safety check and prefer to share the connection across child processes, you can now pass the inherit_socket option (#409).
If you want the client to attempt to reconnect more than once, you can now pass the reconnect_attempts option (#347)

3.0.7

Added method Redis#dup to duplicate a Redis connection.
IPv6 support.

Ensure #watch without a block returns "OK" (#332).
Make futures identifiable (#330).
Fix an issue preventing STORE in a SORT with multiple GETs (#328).

Blocking list commands (BLPOP, BRPOP, BRPOPLPUSH) use a socket timeout equal to the sum of the command's timeout and the Redis client's timeout, instead of disabling socket timeout altogether.
Ruby 2.0 compatibility.
Added support for DUMP and RESTORE (Redis 2.6).
Added support for BITCOUNT and BITOP (Redis 2.6).
Call #to_s on value argument for SET, SETEX, PSETEX, GETSET, SETNX, and SETRANGE.

Fix test to check availability of UNIXSocket.
Fix handling of score = +/- infinity for sorted set commands.
Replace array splats with concatenation where possible.
Raise if EXEC returns an error.
Passing a nil value in options hash no longer overwrites the default.
Allow string keys in options hash passed to Redis.new or Redis.connect.
Fix uncaught error triggering unrelated error (synchrony driver).

See f7ffd5f1a628029691084de69e5b46699bb8b96d and #248.

3.0.1

Fix reconnect logic not kicking in on a write error.

See 427dbd52928af452f35aa0a57b621bee56cdcb18 and #238.

3.0.0

Upgrading from 2.x to 3.0

The following items are the most important changes to review when upgrading from redis-rb 2.x. A full list of changes can be found below.

The methods for the following commands have changed the arguments they take, their return value, or both.
- BLPOP, BRPOP, BRPOPLPUSH
- SORT
- MSETNX
- ZRANGE, ZREVRANGE, ZRANGEBYSCORE, ZREVRANGEBYSCORE
- ZINCRBY, ZSCORE
The return value from #pipelined and #multi no longer contains unprocessed replies, but the same replies that would be returned if the command had not been executed in these blocks.
The client raises custom errors on connection errors, instead of RuntimeError and errors in the Errno family.

Changes

Added support for scripting commands (Redis 2.6).

Scripts can be executed using #eval and #evalsha. Both can commands can either take two arrays to specify KEYS and ARGV, or take a hash containing :keys and :argv to specify KEYS and ARGV.
```
redis.eval("return ARGV[1] * ARGV[2]", :argv => [2, 3])
  # => 6
```
Subcommands of the SCRIPT command can be executed via the #script method.

For example:
```
redis.script(:load, "return ARGV[1] * ARGV[2]")
  # => "58db5d365a1922f32e7aa717722141ea9c2b0cf3"
redis.script(:exists, "58db5d365a1922f32e7aa717722141ea9c2b0cf3")
  # => true
redis.script(:flush)
  # => "OK"
```
The repository now lives at https://github.com/redis/redis-rb. Thanks, Ezra!
Added support for PEXPIRE, PEXPIREAT, PTTL, PSETEX, INCRYBYFLOAT, HINCRYBYFLOAT and TIME (Redis 2.6).
Redis.current is now thread unsafe, because the client itself is thread safe.

In the future you'll be able to do something like:
```
Redis.current = Redis::Pool.connect
```
This makes Redis.current actually usable in multi-threaded environments, while not affecting those running a single thread.
Change API for BLPOP, BRPOP and BRPOPLPUSH.

Both BLPOP and BRPOP now take a single argument equal to a string key, or an array with string keys, followed by an optional hash with a :timeout key. When not specified, the timeout defaults to 0 to not time out.
```
redis.blpop(["list1", "list2"], :timeout => 1.0)
```
BRPOPLPUSH also takes an optional hash with a :timeout key as last argument for consistency. When not specified, the timeout defaults to 0 to not time out.
```
redis.brpoplpush("some_list", "another_list", :timeout => 1.0)
```
When SORT is passed multiple key patterns to get via the :get option, it now returns an array per result element, holding all GET substitutions.
The MSETNX command now returns a boolean.
The ZRANGE, ZREVRANGE, ZRANGEBYSCORE and ZREVRANGEBYSCORE commands now return an array containing [String, Float] pairs when :with_scores => true is passed.

For example:
```
redis.zrange("zset", 0, -1, :with_scores => true)
  # => [["foo", 1.0], ["bar", 2.0]]
```
The ZINCRBY and ZSCORE commands now return a Float score instead of a string holding a representation of the score.

The client now raises custom exceptions where it makes sense.

If by any chance you were rescuing low-level exceptions (Errno::*), you should now rescue as follows:

  Errno::ECONNRESET    -> Redis::ConnectionError
  Errno::EPIPE         -> Redis::ConnectionError
  Errno::ECONNABORTED  -> Redis::ConnectionError
  Errno::EBADF         -> Redis::ConnectionError
  Errno::EINVAL        -> Redis::ConnectionError
  Errno::EAGAIN        -> Redis::TimeoutError
  Errno::ECONNREFUSED  -> Redis::CannotConnectError

Always raise exceptions originating from erroneous command invocation inside pipelines and MULTI/EXEC blocks.

The old behavior (swallowing exceptions) could cause application bugs to go unnoticed.
Implement futures for assigning values inside pipelines and MULTI/EXEC blocks. Futures are assigned their value after the pipeline or MULTI/EXEC block has executed.
```
$redis.pipelined do
  @future = $redis.get "key"
end

puts @future.value
```
Ruby 1.8.6 is officially not supported.
Support ZCOUNT in Redis::Distributed (Michael Dungan).
Pipelined commands now return the same replies as when called outside a pipeline.

In the past, pipelined replies were returned without post-processing.
Support SLOWLOG command (Michael Bernstein).
Calling SHUTDOWN effectively disconnects the client (Stefan Kaes).
Basic support for mapping commands so that they can be renamed on the server.
Connecting using a URL now checks that a host is given.

It's just a small sanity check, cf. #126
Support variadic commands introduced in Redis 2.4.

2.2.2

Added method Redis::Distributed#hsetnx.

2.2.1

Internal API: Client#call and family are now called with a single array argument, since splatting a large number of arguments (100K+) results in a stack overflow on 1.9.2.
The INFO command can optionally take a subcommand. When the subcommand is COMMANDSTATS, the client will properly format the returned statistics per command. Subcommands for INFO are available since Redis v2.3.0 (unstable).
Change IO#syswrite back to the buffered IO#write since some Rubies do short writes for large (1MB+) buffers and some don't (see issue #108).

2.2.0

Added method Redis#without_reconnect that ensures the client will not try to reconnect when running the code inside the specified block.
Thread-safe by default. Thread safety can be explicitly disabled by passing :thread_safe => false as argument.
Commands called inside a MULTI/EXEC no longer raise error replies, since a successful EXEC means the commands inside the block were executed.
MULTI/EXEC blocks are pipelined.
Don't disconnect on error replies.
Use IO#syswrite instead of IO#write because write buffering is not necessary.
Connect to a unix socket by passing the :path option as argument.
The timeout value is coerced into a float, allowing sub-second timeouts.
Accept both :with_scores and :withscores as argument to sorted set commands.
Use hiredis (v0.3 or higher) by requiring "redis/connection/hiredis".
Use em-synchrony by requiring "redis/connection/synchrony".

2.1.1

See commit log.
