+Redis 4.0.0 Released Fri Jul 14 13:04:44 CEST 2017
+================================================================================
+
+Upgrade urgency CRITICAL: 4.0.0 GA fixes many important bugs.
+
+Dear Redis users,
+
+this is the first stable version of Redis 4.0. There are a number
+of bug fixes and improvements compared to the previous RC, mainly:
+
+* Different replication fixes to PSYNC2, the new 4.0 replication engine.
+* Modules thread safe contexts were introduced. They are an experimental API right now, but the API is considered to be stable and usable when needed.
+* SLOWLOG now logs the offending client name and address. Note that this is a backward compatibility breakage in case old code assumes that the slowlog entry is composed of exactly three entries.
+* The modules native data types RDB format changed.
+* The AOF check utility is now able to deal with RDB preambles.
+* GEORADIUS_RO and GEORADIUSBYMEMBER_RO variants, not supporting the STORE option, were added in order to allow read-only scaling of such queries.
+* HSET is now variadic, and HMSET is considered deprecated (but will be supported for years to come). Please use HSET in new code.
+* GEORADIUS huge radius (>= ~6000 km) corner cases fixed, certain elements near the edges were not returned.
+* DEBUG DIGEST modules API added.
+* HyperLogLog commands no longer crash on certain input (non HLL) strings.
+* Fixed SLAVEOF inside MULTI/EXEC blocks.
+* Many other minor bug fixes and improvements.
+
+Note that 4.0 is probably one of the most extreme releases of Redis ever
+made in terms of changes inside the internals: all the aggregated data types
+no longer use Redis Objects structures but directly SDS objects, certain
+deletion operations are now threaded, the replication engine was modified
+in many ways. So please handle this release with care. A few patch-level 
+releases will follow in the next weeks and months fixing the important issues
+discovered by the users.
+
+You can read the new set of features below in this file, there are a lot
+of improvements that can make a real difference in real world use cases.
+Also note that Redis 4.0 is, as usually, almost a perfect superset of Redis
+3.2, so it is very rare that compatibility with the past is broken in terms
+of exported commands.
+
+IMPORTANT: Redis Cluster users, please note that, as specified in the list
+of incompatibilities, Redis 4.0 cluster bus protocol is not compatible with
+Redis 3.2, so in order to upgrade, a mass reboot of the instances is needed
+and rolling upgrades are not possible. This change was needed in order to
+add compatibility for Containers/NAT, where the bus port at a fixed offset
+was not an acceptable design, so we had to change many things, resulting
+in the incompatible protocol.
+
+Have fun with Redis 4.0!
