Alibaba Cloud periodically releases new minor versions of Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) to add features, fix known issues, and improve user experience. This topic describes the release notes for minor versions of Redis Open-Source Edition. We recommend that you update the minor version of your instances during off-peak hours.
Redis Open-Source Edition 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, and 4.0 are fully compatible with the corresponding major versions of open source Redis and maintain backward compatibility with earlier versions.
This topic covers only the release notes for minor versions of Redis Open-Source Edition instances. For the release notes for minor versions of Tair (Enterprise Edition) instances, such as DRAM-based, persistent memory-optimized, and ESSD/SSD-based instances, see Tair minor version release notes.
View or update the minor version of an instance
You can view the current minor version of an instance in the console. For more information about the update operations and usage notes, see Upgrade minor and proxy versions.
The system automatically detects the minor version of an instance. If the instance is running the latest minor version, the Minor Version Upgrade button is not displayed or is dimmed.
Minor version updates may vary by region. The minor version displayed for an instance in the console is the one that is in effect.
