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.
