## Highlights

This is a maintenance release to support [Redis Software 8.0.20](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/release-notes/rs-8-0-releases/) version 8.0.20-96. For version changes, supported distributions, and known limitations, see the [release notes for 8.0.18-11 (April 2026)](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/release-notes/8-0-18-releases/8-0-18-11-april2026).

## Resolved issues

- Fixed client authentication being turned off and client certificates being cleared when you patched a field other than a certificate field, such as `evictionPolicy`, in the `spec.globalConfigurations` of a REAADB. The operator now preserves the mutual TLS (mTLS) settings on the underlying Active-Active database. REDB resources were not affected <!--RED-212113-->

- Fixed an Active-Active database whose REAADB spec omitted `externalReplicationPort` for a participating cluster. The operator now syncs the port from the existing Active-Active database <!--RED-205147-->

- Fixed an endless "could not set label" loop caused by reserved keys in the persistent volume claim (PVC) extra labels annotation <!--RED-189152-->
