Jedis 8.1.0-beta1 is the first pre-release of the upcoming 8.1.0, introducing support for Smart Client Handoffs (SCH) (#4668).

Smart client handoffs is a feature of Redis Cloud and Redis Software that notifies clients about planned maintenance shortly before it happens, so the client can respond gracefully instead of hitting command timeouts and dropped connections. Jedis reacts with relaxed timeouts and pre-handoffs. SCH requires RESP3 and is enabled automatically on RESP3 connections; see the Jedis SCH guide for configuration options.

This is a pre-release: APIs introduced here may change before 8.1.0 GA.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/redis/jedis/compare/v8.0.0...v8.0.1

Jedis 8.0.0 completes the client class consolidation started in 7.0.0, modernizes protocol defaults, tightens security defaults, and adds command coverage for Redis 8.8 and the Redis 8.10 preview.

• 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• Search modernization — the low-level cursor APIs are superseded by ftAggregateIterator(), and the manual broadcast API is removed (Redis 8.0+ broadcasts FT.CREATE server-side)
• TLS hostname verification enforced by default in DefaultJedisSocketFactory
• 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
• Redis 8.10 command coverage — HIMPORT (Hinted Hash Templates), FT.ALIASLIST, MAXCOUNT / MAXSIZE on XREAD and XREADGROUP, SUNIONCARD / SDIFFCARD, LMOVEM / BLMOVEM, TS.READ, TS.NRANGE / TS.NREVRANGE, TS.QUERYLABELS, and EXCLUDEEMPTY on TS.MRANGE / TS.MREVRANGE

This is a maintenance release with fixes for FT.HYBRID queries and connection pool handshake overhead. Recommended for any deployment using FT.HYBRID with Combiner.as(...) or MultiDbClient.

• Fixes FT.HYBRID COMBINE argument count omitting YIELD_SCORE_AS tokens, causing the command to be rejected when a combined-score alias is set via Combiner.as(...). Fix by @guyroyse in https://github.com/redis/jedis/pull/4575, backported to 7.5.x in https://github.com/redis/jedis/pull/4576.
• Fixes double initialization of a pooled Connection in TrackingConnectionPool (used by MultiDbClient). https://github.com/redis/jedis/pull/4547, backported to 7.5.x in https://github.com/redis/jedis/commit/dd42b3e70707258646029d18f6628f45064b1c60.

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).
