This is a maintenance release focused on improving the stability of the Automatic Failover feature (MultiDbClient). Recommended for any deployment using MultiDbClient / multi-database failover.

• Fixes a connection pool leak in experimental multi-database failover when ping() fails during acquisition. https://github.com/redis/jedis/pull/4546

• CommandObjects refactoring Part 4: Backport deprecations to 7.5.x by @uglide in https://github.com/redis/jedis/pull/4517

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• Search modernization — the low-level cursor APIs are superseded by ftAggregateIterator(), and the manual broadcast API is removed (Redis 8.0+ broadcasts FT.CREATE server-side)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 release refines TLS behaviour to enhance security and begins consolidating TLS configuration on SslOptions. The introduction of hostname verification by default significantly improves the safety of TLS connections. For further details, see #4497.

• The legacy ssl(true) TLS path now enables hostname verification by default (#4497). It now rejects certificates whose SAN/CN does not match the target host, making TLS connections safer. The SslOptions-based configuration remains unchanged.
• Deprecate legacy SSL configuration in favor of SslOptions (#4497).
