The Lettuce team is pleased to announce the release of Lettuce 7.0.0!

The release focuses on introducing Maintenance events support functionality, API improvements, and cleanup of deprecated features.

• Maintenance events support for graceful maintenance handling
• Redis Query Engine (RediSearch) in cluster mode - when searching with a cursor the cursor now is sticking to a single node in cluster environments; read operations are spread around the nodes of a cluster in a random manner to avoid bottlenecks;
• Enhanced JSON API with String-based access to avoid unnecessary conversions
• Removal of deprecated APIs and options as part of the major version upgrade
• Upgrading to Netty 4.2

Lettuce 7.0.0.RELEASE supports Redis 2.6+ up to Redis 8.x and requires Java 8 or newer. The driver is tested against Redis 8.2, 8.0, 7.4, and 7.2.
