Release Notes

redis/go-redis (github.com/redis/go-redis/v9)

v9.21.0: 9.21.0

Compare Source

This is a minor release adding new features and bug fixes. There are no breaking changes; upgrading from 9.20.x is a drop-in replacement.

🚀 Highlights

Zero-copy GetToBuffer / SetFromBuffer

Two new StringCmdable methods let callers read and write Redis string values directly into and from pre-allocated byte buffers, eliminating the per-call payload allocation that Get/Set incur:

GetToBuffer(ctx, key, buf) *ZeroCopyStringCmd   // reads into buf; ZeroCopyStringCmd { Val() int; Bytes() []byte; Result() (int, error) }
SetFromBuffer(ctx, key, buf) *StatusCmd

GetToBuffer decodes the bulk reply straight into the caller-owned buf (no intermediate allocation); a buffer that is too small returns an error after draining the payload, so the connection stays aligned for the next reply. SetFromBuffer is provided for API symmetry — it dispatches to the same []byte writer path as Set(ctx, key, buf, 0) and produces byte-identical output on the wire. Available on *Client, *ClusterClient, *Ring, *Conn and Pipeliner.

Explicit LIMIT 0 for stream trimming

Redis treats XTRIM/XADD approximate-trim (~) LIMIT 0 as "disable the trimming effort cap entirely", which differs from omitting LIMIT (the implicit 100 * stream-node-max-entries default). The command builders previously only emitted LIMIT when limit > 0, so callers could never send an explicit LIMIT 0. Following the KeepTTL = -1 precedent, the new XTrimLimitDisabled = -1 sentinel now emits an explicit LIMIT 0; limit == 0 keeps the historical no-LIMIT behavior, so existing callers produce byte-identical commands.

✨ New Features

• Zero-copy buffer string commands: new GetToBuffer / SetFromBuffer on StringCmdable and the ZeroCopyStringCmd result type, reading/writing string values into caller-owned buffers without per-call payload allocation (#​3834) by @​ndyakov
• XTrimLimitDisabled sentinel: XTRIM/XADD approximate trimming can now send an explicit LIMIT 0 to disable the trim effort cap, via the new XTrimLimitDisabled = -1 sentinel (#​3848) by @​TheRealMal
• PubSub health-check timeouts: channel.initHealthCheck now bounds the Ping it issues with a fresh per-check timeout context (the exported pingTimeout / reconnectTimeout) instead of context.TODO(), so a stuck health-check Ping can no longer block indefinitely (#​3819) by @​abdellani
• Skip redundant UNWATCH in Tx.Close: a transaction now tracks whether a WATCH is still active (watchArmed) and only issues UNWATCH on Close when it is, removing an extra round trip on the common WATCH/.../EXEC and no-key Watch paths while never returning a connection to the pool with an active watch (#​3854) by @​fcostaoliveira

🐛 Bug Fixes

• maintnotifications ModeAuto fail-open: ModeAuto now stays fail-open when the server does not support maintenance notifications — connections are retired and tracking is guarded during downgrade so the client keeps working instead of erroring (#​3853) by @​terrorobe

Hi @red-hat-konflux[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a validatedpatterns member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
