Redis Open Source version management

Describes Redis Open Source supported database versions.

Redis Open Source

Redis Open Source provides comprehensive version management that prioritizes customer control over major changes.

Redis version structure

Redis uses a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning scheme:

Major versions: Significant changes that may include breaking changes (e.g., Redis 7 → Redis 8)
Minor versions: New features and improvements within a major version (e.g., 8.2 → 8.4 → 8.6)
Patch versions: Bug fixes and security updates (e.g., 8.2.1 → 8.2.2)

Note:

We strongly recommend using the latest available version to benefit from the newest features, performance improvements, and security updates.
