Release Notes
9.12.1 (2025-08-11)
🚀 Highlights
In the last version (9.12.0) the client introduced bigger write and read buffer sized. The default value we set was 512KiB.
However, users reported that this is too big for most use cases and can lead to high memory usage.
In this version the default value is changed to 256KiB. The README.md
was updated to reflect the
correct default value and include a note that the default value can be changed.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- fix(options): Add buffer sizes to failover. Update README (#3468)

Old Changelog
Unreleased
Changed
go-redis
won't skip span creation if the parent spans is not recording. (#2980) Users can use the OpenTelemetry sampler to control the sampling behavior. For instance, you can use theParentBased(NeverSample())
sampler fromgo.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace
to keep a similar behavior (drop orphan spans) ofgo-redis
as before.

9.0.2 (2023-02-01)
Features
v9 2023-01-30
Breaking
- Changed Pipelines to not be thread-safe any more.
Added
- Added support for RESP3 protocol. It was contributed by @monkey92t who has done the majority of work in this release.
- Added
ContextTimeoutEnabled
option that controls whether the client respects context timeouts and deadlines. See Redis Timeouts for details. - Added
ParseClusterURL
to parse URLs intoClusterOptions
, for example,redis://user:password@localhost:6789?dial_timeout=3&read_timeout=6s&addr=localhost:6790&addr=localhost:6791
. - Added metrics instrumentation using
redisotel.IstrumentMetrics
. See documentation - Added
redis.HasErrorPrefix
to help working with errors.
Changed
- Removed asynchronous cancellation based on the context timeout. It was racy in v8 and is completely gone in v9.
- Reworked hook interface and added
DialHook
. - Replaced
redisotel.NewTracingHook
withredisotel.InstrumentTracing
. See example and documentation. - Replaced
*redis.Z
withredis.Z
since it is small enough to be passed as value without making an allocation. - Renamed the option
MaxConnAge
toConnMaxLifetime
. - Renamed the option
IdleTimeout
toConnMaxIdleTime
. - Removed connection reaper in favor of
MaxIdleConns
. - Removed
WithContext
sincecontext.Context
can be passed directly as an arg. - Removed
Pipeline.Close
since there is no real need to explicitly manage pipeline resources and it can be safely reused viasync.Pool
etc.Pipeline.Discard
is still available if you want to reset commands for some reason.
Fixed
- Improved and fixed pipeline retries.
- As usually, added support for more commands and fixed some bugs.
