Hello! This file is just a placeholder, since this is the "unstable" branch
of Valkey, the place where all the development happens.
Valkey 8.1 release notes
========================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrade urgency levels:
LOW: No need to upgrade unless there are new features you want to use.
MODERATE: Program an upgrade of the server, but it's not urgent.
HIGH: There is a critical bug that may affect a subset of users. Upgrade!
CRITICAL: There is a critical bug affecting MOST USERS. Upgrade ASAP.
SECURITY: There are security fixes in the release.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no release notes for this branch, it gets forked into another branch
every time there is a partial feature freeze in order to eventually create
a new stable release.

Usually "unstable" is stable enough for you to use it in development environments
however you should never use it in production environments. It is possible
to download the latest stable release here:
================================================================================
Valkey 8.1.0 RC1 - Released Thu 11 Feb 2025
================================================================================
Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the first release candidate of Valkey 8.1, with
performance improvements, extended observability and cluster improvements and different bug fixes.
It includes a new implementation of the Valkey dictionary which is more memory and cache efficient,
better performance for encryption in transit, reduced replication overhead by offloading work to I/O threads,
faster failover support in cluster mode, major improvements to the active defrag process to reduce the impact on command processing
and different API changes for improved usability.
Valkey now supports new new check-and-set feature for native STRINGs.
