This version is mainly a release to distribute all the unreleased changes on master since 2017 and additionally removes a lot of old deprecated features and old internals in preparation for an upcoming modernization refactor (v4).
- Dropped support for Node.js < 6
- Dropped support for
hiredis(no longer required) - Removed previously deprecated

- Upgraded to latest
redis-commandspackage - Upgraded to latest
redis-parserpackage, v3.0.0, which brings performance improvements - Replaced
double-ended-queuewithdenque, which brings performance improvements - Add timestamps to debug traces
- Add
socket_initial_delayoption forsocket.setKeepAlive(#1396) - Add support for
redissprotocol in url (#1282)
Features
- Accept UPPER_CASE commands in send_command
- Add arbitrary commands to the prototype by using
Redis.addCommand(name)
Bugfixes
- Fixed not always copying subscribe unsubscribe arguments
- Fixed emitting internal errors while reconnecting with auth
- Fixed crashing with invalid url option
Bugfixes
- Fixed monitor mode not working in combination with IPv6 (2.6.0 regression)
Features
- All returned errors are from now a subclass of
RedisError.
Bugfixes
- Fixed rename_commands not accepting
nullas value - Fixed
AbortErrors andAggregateErrors not showing the error message in the stack trace
Bugfixes
- Fixed parser not being reset in case the redis connection closed ASAP for overcoming of output buffer limits
- Fixed parser reset if (p)message_buffer listener is attached
Bugfixes
- Fixed monitor mode not working in combination with IPv6, sockets or lua scripts (2.6.0 regression)
Bugfixes
- Do not change the tls setting to camel_case
- Fix domain handling in combination with the offline queue (2.5.3 regression)
Bugfixes
- Fixed individual callbacks of a transaction not being called (2.6.0 regression)
Bugfixes
- Fixed invalid function name being exported
In addition to the pre-releases the following changes exist in v.2.6.0:
Features
- Updated redis-parser dependency (changelog)
- The JS parser is from now on the new default as it is a lot faster than the hiredis parser
- This is no BC as there is no changed behavior for the user at all but just a performance improvement. Explicitly requireing the Hiredis parser is still possible.
- Added name property to all Redis functions (Node.js >= 4.0)
- Improved stack traces in development and debug mode
Bugfixes
- Reverted support for
__proto__(v.2.6.0-2) to prevent and breaking change
Deprecations
- The
parseroption is deprecated and should be removed. The built-in Javascript parser is a lot faster than the hiredis parser and has more features
Features
- Added support for the new CLIENT REPLY ON|OFF|SKIP command (Redis v.3.2)
- Added support for camelCase
- The Node.js landscape default is to use camelCase. node_redis is a bit out of the box here but from now on it is possible to use both, just as you prefer!
- If there's any documented variable missing as camelCased, please open a issue for it
- Improve error handling significantly
- Only emit an error if the error has not already been handled in a callback
- Improved unspecific error messages e.g. "Connection gone from end / close event"
- Added
argsto command errors to improve identification of the error - Added origin to errors if there's e.g. a connection error
- Added ReplyError class. All Redis errors are from now on going to be of that class
- Added AbortError class. A subclass of AbortError. All unresolved and by node_redis rejected commands are from now on of that class
- Added AggregateError class. If a unresolved and by node_redis rejected command has no callback and this applies to more than a single command, the errors for the commands without callback are aggregated to a single error that is emitted in debug_mode in that case.
- Added
message_buffer/pmessage_bufferevents. That event is always going to emit a buffer - Listening to the
messageevent at the same time is always going to return the same message as string - Added callback option to the duplicate function
- Added support for
__proto__and other reserved keywords as hgetall field - Updated redis-commands dependency (changelog)
Bugfixes
- Fixed v.2.5.0 auth command regression (under special circumstances a reconnect would not authenticate properly)
- Fixed v.2.6.0-0 pub sub mode and quit command regressions:
- Entering pub sub mode not working if a earlier called and still running command returned an error
- Unsubscribe callback not called if unsubscribing from all channels and resubscribing right away
- Quit command resulting in an error in some cases
- Fixed special handled functions in batch and multi context not working the same as without (e.g. select and info)
- Be aware that not all commands work in combination with transactions but they all work with batch
- Fixed address always set to 127.0.0.1:6379 in case host / port is set in the
tlsoptions instead of the general options
A second pre-release with further fixes. This is likely going to be released as 2.6.0 stable without further changes.
Features
- Added type validations for client.send_command arguments
Bugfixes
- Fixed client.send_command not working properly with every command and every option
- Fixed pub sub mode unsubscribing from all channels in combination with the new
string_numbersoption crashing - Fixed pub sub mode unsubscribing from all channels not respected while reconnecting
- Fixed pub sub mode events in combination with the
string_numbersoption emitting the number of channels not as number
This is mainly a very important bug fix release with some smaller features.
Features
- Monitor and pub sub mode now work together with the offline queue
- All commands that were send after a connection loss are now going to be send after reconnecting
- Activating monitor mode does now work together with arbitrary commands including pub sub mode
- Pub sub mode is completely rewritten and all known issues fixed
- Added
string_numbersoption to get back strings instead of numbers - Quit command is from now on always going to end the connection properly
Bugfixes
- Fixed calling monitor command while other commands are still running
- Fixed monitor and pub sub mode not working together
- Fixed monitor mode not working in combination with the offline queue
- Fixed pub sub mode not working in combination with the offline queue
- Fixed pub sub mode resubscribing not working with non utf8 buffer channels
- Fixed pub sub mode crashing if calling unsubscribe / subscribe in various combinations
- Fixed pub sub mode emitting unsubscribe even if no channels were unsubscribed
- Fixed pub sub mode emitting a message without a message published
- Fixed quit command not ending the connection and resulting in further reconnection if called while reconnecting
The quit command did not end connections earlier if the connection was down at that time and this could have lead to strange situations, therefor this was fixed to end the connection right away in those cases.
Bugfixes
- Revert throwing on invalid data types and print a warning instead
Bugfixes
- Fixed breaking changes against Redis 2.4 introduced in 2.5.0 / 2.5.1
Bugfixes
- Fixed info command not working anymore with optional section argument
Same changelog as the pre-release
This is a big release with some substantial underlining changes. Therefor this is released as a pre-release and I encourage anyone who's able to, to test this out.
It took way to long to release this one and the next release cycles will be shorter again.
This release is also going to deprecate a couple things to prepare for a future v.3 (it'll still take a while to v.3).
Features
- The parsers moved into the redis-parser module and will be maintained in there from now on
- Improve js parser speed significantly for big SUNION/SINTER/LRANGE/ZRANGE
- Improve redis-url parsing to also accept the database-number and options as query parameters as suggested in IANA
- Added a
retry_unfulfilled_commandsoption - Setting this to 'true' results in retrying all commands that were not fulfilled on a connection loss after the reconnect. Use with caution
- Added a
dboption to select the database while connecting (this is not recommended) - Added a
passwordoption as alias for auth_pass - The client.server_info is from now on updated while using the info command
- Gracefuly handle redis protocol errors from now on
- Added a
warningemitter that receives node_redis warnings like auth not required and deprecation messages - Added a
retry_strategyoption that replaces all reconnect options - The reconnecting event from now on also receives:
- The error message why the reconnect happened (params.error)
- The amount of times the client was connected (params.times_connected)
- The total reconnecting time since the last time connected (params.total_retry_time)
- Always respect the command execution order no matter if the reply could be returned sync or not (former exceptions: #937)
- redis.createClient is now checking input values stricter and detects more faulty input
- Started refactoring internals into individual modules
- Pipelining speed improvements
Bugfixes
- Fixed explicit undefined as a command callback in a multi context
- Fixed hmset failing to detect the first key as buffer or date if the key is of that type
- Fixed do not run toString on an array argument and throw a "invalid data" error instead
- This is not considered as breaking change, as this is likely a error in your code and if you want to have such a behavior you should handle this beforehand
- The same applies to Map / Set and individual Object types
- Fixed redis url not accepting the protocol being omitted or protocols other than the redis protocol for convenience
- Fixed parsing the db keyspace even if the first database does not begin with a zero
- Fixed handling of errors occurring while receiving pub sub messages
- Fixed huge string pipelines crashing NodeJS (Pipeline size above 256mb)
- Fixed rename_commands and prefix option not working together
- Fixed ready being emitted to early in case a slave is still syncing / master down
Deprecations
- Using any command with a argument being set to null or undefined is deprecated
- From v.3.0.0 on using a command with such an argument will return an error instead
- If you want to keep the old behavior please use a precheck in your code that converts the arguments to a string.
- Using SET or SETEX with a undefined or null value will from now on also result in converting the value to "null" / "undefined" to have a consistent behavior. This is not considered as breaking change, as it returned an error earlier.
- Using .end(flush) without the flush parameter is deprecated and the flush parameter should explicitly be used
- From v.3.0.0 on using .end without flush will result in an error
- Using .end without flush means that any command that did not yet return is going to silently fail. Therefor this is considered harmful and you should explicitly silence such errors if you are sure you want this
- Depending on the return value of a command to detect the backpressure is deprecated
- From version 3.0.0 on node_redis might not return true / false as a return value anymore. Please rely on client.should_buffer instead
- The
socket_nodelayoption is deprecated and will be removed in v.3.0.0 - If you want to buffer commands you should use .batch or .multi instead. This is necessary to reduce the amount of different options and this is very likely reducing your throughput if set to false.
- If you are sure you want to activate the NAGLE algorithm you can still activate it by using client.stream.setNoDelay(false)
- The
max_attemptsoption is deprecated and will be removed in v.3.0.0. Please use theretry_strategyinstead - The
retry_max_delayoption is deprecated and will be removed in v.3.0.0. Please use theretry_strategyinstead - The drain event is deprecated and will be removed in v.3.0.0. Please listen to the stream drain event instead
- The idle event is deprecated and will likely be removed in v.3.0.0. If you rely on this feature please open a new ticket in node_redis with your use case
- Redis < v. 2.6 is not officially supported anymore and might not work in all cases. Please update to a newer redis version as it is not possible to test for these old versions
- Removed non documented command syntax (adding the callback to an arguments array instead of passing it as individual argument)
Bugfixes
- Fixed not emitting ready after reconnect with disable_resubscribing (@maxgalbu)
Bugfixes
- Fixed a js parser regression introduced in 2.4.0 (@BridgeAR)
Features
- Added
tlsoption to initiate a connection to a redis server behind a TLS proxy. Thanks (@paddybyers) - Added
prefixoption to auto key prefix any command with the provided prefix (@luin & @BridgeAR) - Added
urloption to pass the connection url with the options object (@BridgeAR) - Added
client.duplicate([options])to duplicate the current client and return a new one with the same options (@BridgeAR) - Improve performance by up to 20% on almost all use cases (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes
- Fixed js parser handling big values slow (@BridgeAR)
- The speed is now on par with the hiredis parser.
Bugfixes
- Fixed saving buffers with charsets other than utf-8 while using multi (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed js parser handling big values very slow (@BridgeAR)
- The speed is up to ~500% faster than before but still up to ~50% slower than the hiredis parser.
Features
- Improve speed further for: (@BridgeAR)
- saving big strings (up to +300%)
- using .multi / .batch (up to +50% / on Node.js 0.10.x +300%)
- saving small buffers
- Increased coverage to 99% (@BridgeAR)
- Refactored manual backpressure control (@BridgeAR)
- Removed the high water mark and low water mark. Such a mechanism should be implemented by a user instead
- The
drainevent is from now on only emitted if the stream really had to buffer - Reduced the default connect_timeout to be one hour instead of 24h (@BridgeAR)
- Added .path to redis.createClient(options); (@BridgeAR)
- Ignore info command, if not available on server (@ivanB1975)
Bugfixes
- Fixed a js parser error that could result in a timeout (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed .multi / .batch used with Node.js 0.10.x not working properly after a reconnect (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed fired but not yet returned commands not being rejected after a connection loss (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed connect_timeout not respected if no connection has ever been established (@gagle & @benjie)
- Fixed return_buffers in pub sub mode (@komachi)
Bugfixes
- Fixed undefined options passed to a new instance not accepted (possible with individual .createClient functions) (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes
- Fixed unspecific error message for unresolvable commands (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed not allowed command error in pubsub mode not being returned in a provided callback (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed to many commands forbidden in pub sub mode (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed mutation of the arguments array passed to .multi / .batch constructor (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed mutation of the options object passed to createClient (@BridgeAR)
- Fixed error callback in .multi not called if connection in broken mode (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes
- Fixed multi not being executed on Node 0.10.x if node_redis not yet ready (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes
- Fixed regular commands not being executed after a .multi until .exec was called (@BridgeAR)
No code change
The peregrino falcon is the fasted bird on earth and this is what this release is all about: Increased performance for heavy usage by up to 400% [sic!] and increased overall performance for any command as well. Please check the benchmarks in the README.md for further details.
Features
- Added rename_commands options to handle renamed commands from the redis config (@digmxl & @BridgeAR)
- Added disable_resubscribing option to prevent a client from resubscribing after reconnecting (@BridgeAR)
- Increased performance (@BridgeAR)
- exchanging built in queue with @petkaantonov's double-ended queue
- prevent polymorphism
- optimize statements
- Added .batch command, similar to .multi but without transaction (@BridgeAR)
- Improved pipelining to minimize the RTT further (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes
- Fixed a javascript parser regression introduced in 2.0 that could result in timeouts on high load. (@BridgeAR)
- I was not able to write a regression test for this, since the error seems to only occur under heavy load with special conditions. So please have a look for timeouts with the js parser, if you use it and report all issues and switch to the hiredis parser in the meanwhile. If you're able to come up with a reproducable test case, this would be even better :)
- Fixed should_buffer boolean for .exec, .select and .auth commands not being returned and fix a couple special conditions (@BridgeAR)
If you do not rely on transactions but want to reduce the RTT you can use .batch from now on. It'll behave just the same as .multi but it does not have any transaction and therefor won't roll back any failed commands.
Both .multi and .batch are from now on going to cache the commands and release them while calling .exec.
Please consider using .batch instead of looping through a lot of commands one by one. This will significantly improve your performance.

Known issues
- The pub sub system has some flaws and those will be addressed in the next minor release
Features:
- Addded optional flush parameter to
.end. If set to true, commands fired after using .end are going to be rejected instead of being ignored. (@crispy1989) - Addded: host and port can now be provided in a single options object. E.g. redis.createClient({ host: 'localhost', port: 1337, max_attempts: 5 }); (@BridgeAR)
- Speedup common cases (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes:

- Fix multi.hmset key not being type converted if used with an object and key not being a string (@BridgeAR)
- Fix parser errors not being catched properly (@BridgeAR)
- Fix a crash that could occur if a redis server does not return the info command as usual #541 (@BridgeAR)
- Explicitly passing undefined as a callback statement will work again. E.g. client.publish('channel', 'message', undefined); (@BridgeAR)
Bugfixes:
- Fix argument mutation while using the array notation in combination with keys / callbacks (#866). (@BridgeAR)

- Added: Network errors and other stream errors will from now on include the error code as
err.codeproperty (@BridgeAR) - Added: Errors thrown by redis will now include the redis error code as
err.codeproperty. (@skeggse & @BridgeAR) - Added: Errors thrown by node_redis will now include a
err.commandproperty for the command used (@BridgeAR) - Added new commands and drop support for deprecated substr (@BridgeAR)
- Added new possibilities how to provide the command arguments (@BridgeAR)
- The entries in the keyspace of the server_info is now an object instead of a string. (@SinisterLight & @BridgeAR)
- Small speedup here and there (e.g. by not using .toLowerCase() anymore) (@BridgeAR)
- Full windows support (@bcoe)

- Remove dead code, clean up and refactor very old chunks (@BridgeAR)
- Don't flush the offline queue if reconnecting (@BridgeAR)
- Emit all errors insteaf of throwing sometimes and sometimes emitting them (@BridgeAR)
- auth_pass passwords are now checked to be a valid password (@jcppman & @BridgeAR)
- Don't kill the app anymore by randomly throwing errors sync instead of emitting them (@BridgeAR)
- Don't catch user errors anymore occuring in callbacks (no try callback anymore & more fixes for the parser) (@BridgeAR)
- Early garbage collection of queued items (@dohse)
- Fix js parser returning errors as strings (@BridgeAR)
- Do not wrap errors into other errors (@BridgeAR)
- Authentication failures are now returned in the callback instead of being emitted (@BridgeAR)
- Fix a memory leak on reconnect (@rahar)
- Using
send_commanddirectly may now also be called without the args as stated in the README.md (@BridgeAR) - Fix the multi.exec error handling (@BridgeAR)
- Fix commands being inconsistent and behaving wrong (@BridgeAR)
- Channel names with spaces are now properly resubscribed after a reconnection (@pbihler)
- Do not try to reconnect after the connection timeout has been exceeded (@BridgeAR)

- Fix commands not being rejected after calling .quit (@BridgeAR)
- Fix .auth calling the callback twice if already connected (@BridgeAR)
- Fix detect_buffers not working in pub sub mode and while monitoring (@BridgeAR)
- Fix channel names always being strings instead of buffers while return_buffers is true (@BridgeAR)
- Don't print any debug statements if not asked for (@BridgeAR)
- Fix a couple small other bugs
- redis.send_command commands have to be lower case from now on. This does only apply if you use
.send_commanddirectly instead of the convenient methods likeredis.command. - Error messages have changed quite a bit. If you depend on a specific wording please check your application carfully.
- Errors are from now on always either returned if a callback is present or emitted. They won't be thrown (neither sync, nor async).
- The Multi error handling has changed a lot!
- All errors are from now on errors instead of strings (this only applied to the js parser).
- If an error occurs while queueing the commands an EXECABORT error will be returned including the failed commands as
.errorsproperty instead of an array with errors. - If an error occurs while executing the commands and that command has a callback it'll return the error as first parameter (
err, undefinedinstead ofnull, undefined). - All the errors occuring while executing the commands will stay in the result value as error instance (if you used the js parser before they would have been strings). Be aware that the transaction won't be aborted if those error occurr!
- If
multi.execdoes not have a callback and an EXECABORT error occurrs, it'll emit that error instead.
- If redis can't connect to your redis server it'll give up after a certain point of failures (either max connection attempts or connection timeout exceeded). If that is the case it'll emit an CONNECTION_BROKEN error. You'll have to initiate a new client to try again afterwards.
- The offline queue is not flushed anymore on a reconnect. It'll stay until node_redis gives up trying to reach the server or until you close the connection.
- Before this release node_redis catched user errors and threw them async back. This is not the case anymore! No user behavior of what so ever will be tracked or catched.
- The keyspace of
redis.server_info(db0...) is from now on an object instead of an string.
NodeRedis also thanks @qdb, @tobek, @cvibhagool, @frewsxcv, @davidbanham, @serv, @vitaliylag, @chrishamant, @GamingCoder and all other contributors that I may have missed for their contributions!
From now on we'll push new releases more frequently out and fix further long outstanding things and implement new features.

Bug fix for monitor mode. (forddg)
Auto update of new commands from redis.io (Dave Hoover)
Lots of bugs fixed.
- connection error did not properly trigger reconnection logic [GH-85]
- client.hmget(key, [val1, val2]) was not expanding properly [GH-66]
- client.quit() while in pub/sub mode would throw an error [GH-87]
- client.multi(['hmset', 'key', {foo: 'bar'}]) fails [GH-92]
- unsubscribe before subscribe would make things very confused [GH-88]
- Add BRPOPLPUSH [GH-79]
Added DISCARD
I originally didn't think DISCARD would do anything here because of the clever MULTI interface, but somebody pointed out to me that DISCARD can be used to flush the WATCH set.
Added HVALS
Fix bug with empty Array arguments - Andy Ray
Add MONITOR command and special monitor command reply parsing.
Add magical auth command.
Authentication is now remembered by the client and will be automatically sent to the server on every connection, including any reconnections.
Fix bug in ready check with return_buffers set to true.
Thanks to Dean Mao and Austin Chau.
Add probe for server readiness.
When a Redis server starts up, it might take a while to load the dataset into memory. During this time, the server will accept connections, but will return errors for all non-INFO commands. Now node_redis will send an INFO command whenever it connects to a server. If the info command indicates that the server is not ready, the client will keep trying until the server is ready. Once it is ready, the client will emit a "ready" event as well as the "connect" event. The client will queue up all commands sent before the server is ready, just like it did before. When the server is ready, all offline/non-ready commands will be replayed. This should be backward compatible with previous versions.
To disable this ready check behavior, set options.no_ready_check when creating the client.
As a side effect of this change, the key/val params from the info command are available as
client.server_options. Further, the version string is decomposed into individual elements
in client.server_options.versions.
Fix excess memory consumption from Queue backing store.
Thanks to Gustaf Sjöberg.
Fix multi/exec error reply callback logic.
Thanks to Stella Laurenzo.
Fix bug where unhandled error replies confuse the parser.
Fix bug where subscribe commands would not handle redis-server startup error properly.
Some bug fixes:
- An important bug fix in reconnection logic. Previously, reply callbacks would be invoked twice after a reconnect.
- Changed error callback argument to be an actual Error object.
New feature:
- Add friendly syntax for HMSET using an object.
Remove warning about missing hiredis. You probably do want it though.
Support for multiple response parsers and hiredis C library from Pieter Noordhuis. Return Strings instead of Buffers by default. Empty nested mb reply bug fix.
Fix parser bug on failed EXECs.
Fix for null MULTI response when WATCH condition fails.
Add "drain" and "idle" events.
Add all known Redis commands from Redis master, even ones that are coming in 2.2 and beyond.
Send a friendlier "error" event message on stream errors like connection refused / reset.
A few bug fixes.
- Fixed bug with
nilmulti-bulk reply lengths that showed up withBLPOPtimeouts. - Only emit
endonce when connection goes away. - Fixed bug in
test.jswhere driver finished before all tests completed.
