Jedis 8.0.0-beta1 is the first pre-release of the upcoming 8.0 major line. It focused on completing the client class consolidation, modernizing protocol defaults, tightening security defaults, and adding support for new Redis 8.8 commands.

• RESP3 auto-negotiation on by default for all UnifiedJedis-based clients (with graceful RESP2 fallback)
• Final removal of legacy JedisPooled / JedisSentineled classes in favor of the RedisClient family introduced in 7.0.0
• Removal of deprecated UnifiedJedis public constructors
• Internal refactoring that affects users of low-level extension points (custom CommandExecutor, Transaction subclasses, ClusterPipeline, CommandObjects) — protocol and connection wiring is now explicit at construction time
• Search modernization — the low-level cursor APIs are superseded by ftAggregateIterator(), and the manual broadcast API is removed (Redis 8.0+ broadcasts FT.CREATE server-side)
• New Redis 8.8 command coverage — XNACK, JSON.SET FPHA, Array commands, INCREX, COUNT aggregator on ZINTER / ZUNION(STORE) and their *STORE variants, multi-aggregator TS.RANGE / TS.MRANGE, plus an experimental COLLECT parameter for FT.AGGREGATE
• TLS hostname verification enforced by default in DefaultJedisSocketFactory

This is the fourth milestone pre-release on the way to a new major version Apache MINA SSHD 3.0.0.

Like regular releases it is available in Maven Central and in the Apache repositories; the Apache source release is also at the usual location.

See the change notes for what has changed with respect to version 2.

This fourth milestone just merges 2.18.0 into 3.0, bringing in the improvements done in the 2.x main stream.

Version 3 of Apache MINA SSHD is not API compatible with version 2. API comparison reports and a (very high-level and tentative) roadmap are available on the 3.0.0 development website.

This pre-release has passed all our quality and regression tests, just like any other release. We encourage interested parties to try this pre-release. Be aware that APIs might change in future milestone pre-releases.
