Package Type Update Change
StackExchange.Redis (source) nuget minor 2.8.372.10.1

Release Notes

StackExchange/StackExchange.Redis (StackExchange.Redis)

v2.10.1

Adds support for Redis 8.4 features

  • support multi-string-set with expiration MSETEX ...; details controlled via new Expiration API
  • support checked string-set SET ... IFEQ/IFNE/IFDEQ/IFDNE digestOrValue; details controlled via new ValueCondition API; also uses Expiration for expiry
  • support checked string-delete DELEX ... IFEQ/IFNE/IFDEQ/IFDNE digestOrValue (again via ValueCondition)
  • use checked string-set/delete to implement LockExtend[Async]/LockRelease[Async] when possible
  • support XREADGROUP ... CLAIM minIdleTime for simplified stream processing

Note that niche StringSet[Async] scenarios may require trivial build changes due to removing default parameter values; this simplify means explicitly specifying keepTtl, or using the new Expiration API. There is no impact to already compiled code (no methods have been removed).

8.4 also includes "hybrid search"; this is not currently exposed in SE.Redis, and will be added to NRedisStack ASAP.

v2.9.24

Compare Source

IMPORTANT: this release changes the distribution of pub/sub channels when using cluster:

(this change is specific to pub/sub with regular SUBSCRIBE channels, not "sharded" SSUBSCRIBE channels)

  • pre 2.9.24: all channels would always be routed similarly to key-like routing (and similar to SSUBSCRIBE)
  • from 2.9.24: non-SSUBSCRIBE channels are now randomly distributed to nodes by default, but can optionally use key-like routing by calling .WithKeyRouting() on the RedisChannel value

This change represents a safer, "least surprises" default; most people expect their cluster to help distribute load, including pub/sub load, between nodes. This is especially useful when there are few (or even only a single) channel(s) that dominate the pub/sub load, which is surprisingly common. Without this change, all that load would be handled only by a single server, because the channel my_notifications would be treated similarly to a key, via hash-slot sharding, and all clients would connect to the node serving that slot - when in reality, any node can be used for subscription, with the server distributing events horizontally to all nodes.

If you prefer the routed behaviour: use .WithKeyRouting() before subscribing.

What's Changed

Sharded pub/sub operations are where the pub/sub channels are distributed over a multi-node redis cluster using similar slot rules to keys; all such operations (for both "pub" and "sub") must be communicated to the correct node. This contrasts to regular/legacy pub/sub where you can "pub" or "sub" to any node, and the message is broadcast horizontally via all nodes in the cluster. To use sharded operations, use the RedisChannel.Sharded API when constructing channels. There is no concept of pattern-based sharded pub/sub.

PR Review: StackExchange.Redis 2.8.37 → 2.10.1

Summary

This PR updates StackExchange.Redis from version 2.8.37 to 2.10.1, a minor version update that brings several new features and bug fixes. I've reviewed the changes in context of TUnit's usage of this library.


✅ Code Quality & Best Practices

APPROVED - The change is minimal and follows TUnit's dependency management practices:

  • Uses centralized package management via Directory.Packages.props
  • Version update is appropriate for a minor release

🔍 Usage Analysis

I analyzed TUnit's usage of StackExchange.Redis and found it's primarily used in:

  1. TUnit.Example.Asp.Net/Services/RedisCacheService.cs - Basic Redis operations (StringGetAsync, StringSetAsync, KeyDeleteAsync, KeyExistsAsync)
  2. TUnit.Example.Asp.Net.TestProject/RedisTestBase.cs - Test helpers using KeysAsync and basic operations

Good news: The code uses only fundamental, stable APIs that are not affected by any breaking changes in this version range.


📋 Notable Changes in 2.10.1

✨ New Features (won't impact current code)

  • Redis 8.4 support: MSETEX, IFEQ/IFNE conditions, XREADGROUP CLAIM
  • Redis 8.2 features: Stream improvements, new BITOP operations
  • Vector sets support (v2.9.17)
  • Sharded pub/sub (v2.8.41)

🐛 Bug Fixes (beneficial)

  • ✅ Fixed Sentinel reconnect failures (v2.9.24)
  • ✅ Fixed CLIENT ID error during handshake (v2.8.47)
  • ✅ Fixed StreamAdd message construction (v2.9.11)
  • ✅ Fixed key-prefix omission in set operations (v2.9.11)

⚠️ Important Behavioral Change (v2.9.24)

Pub/sub channel routing in cluster mode changed:

  • Before: Channels routed via hash-slot sharding (like keys)
  • After: Channels randomly distributed across nodes (better load balancing)
  • Impact on TUnit: ❌ None - TUnit doesn't use pub/sub functionality

🔒 Security Concerns

NO SECURITY ISSUES IDENTIFIED - This update includes:

  • Performance improvements
  • Bug fixes
  • Feature additions
  • No reported CVEs or security advisories

⚡ Performance Considerations

POSITIVE IMPACT:

  • Improved double formatting performance on .NET 8+ (v2.9.11)
  • Internal optimizations (sealed classes, concurrent operations, reduced allocations)
  • Better structured logging with source-generated LoggerMessage

TUnit's usage: The codebase uses basic string operations which may benefit from general performance improvements in the library.


🧪 Test Coverage

RECOMMENDATION: The current TUnit usage is straightforward, but consider:

  1. Existing tests should pass - No breaking changes affect current API usage

  2. ⚠️ Suggestion: Run TUnit.Example.Asp.Net.TestProject to verify Redis integration:

    dotnet test TUnit.Example.Asp.Net.TestProject
  3. The code in RedisTestBase.cs uses:

    • ConnectionMultiplexer.ConnectAsync() - stable
    • server.KeysAsync() - stable
    • db.StringGetAsync/SetAsync/KeyDeleteAsync - stable

    All these APIs are unchanged and backward compatible.


🎯 Recommendations

APPROVE & MERGE

This is a safe, beneficial update because:

  1. No breaking changes affect TUnit's usage patterns
  2. Bug fixes improve stability (Sentinel reconnect, CLIENT ID handshake)
  3. Performance improvements are transparent upgrades
  4. Minor version bump follows semantic versioning guarantees
  5. Automerge enabled - appropriate for this low-risk change

📝 Optional Future Enhancements

While not required for this PR, TUnit could consider leveraging new features in the future:

  • Expiration API: Cleaner syntax for TTL operations (v2.10.1)
  • Internal cancellation: Use .WithCancellation() for SCAN operations (v2.8.58)

🚦 Final Verdict

✅ LGTM - Safe to merge

  • Code quality: ✅ Excellent
  • Compatibility: ✅ Fully compatible
  • Security: ✅ No concerns
  • Performance: ✅ Improvements
  • Testing: ✅ Existing tests sufficient

This dependency update aligns with TUnit's commitment to staying current with stable, well-maintained dependencies while maintaining backward compatibility.

Pull Request Review: StackExchange.Redis 2.8.37 → 2.10.1

Summary

This PR updates StackExchange.Redis from 2.8.37 to 2.10.1, spanning several minor versions (2.8 → 2.9 → 2.10) with multiple bug fixes and new features.


✅ Code Quality Assessment

APPROVED - The change is minimal and low-risk:

  • Single line change in Directory.Packages.props
  • Only affects example/test projects, not core TUnit functionality
  • Dependency is properly managed via Central Package Management

🔍 Compatibility Analysis

Usage in TUnit Codebase

The Redis package is only used in:

  1. TUnit.Example.Asp.Net - Example ASP.NET project demonstrating TUnit
  2. TUnit.Example.Asp.Net.TestProject - Tests for the example project
  3. Template projects - Aspire starter templates

Current Usage Patterns:

  • Basic operations: StringGetAsync, StringSetAsync, KeyDeleteAsync, KeyExistsAsync
  • Connection management: ConnectionMultiplexer.ConnectAsync
  • Server operations: server.KeysAsync (for cleanup)

Impact Assessment:LOW RISK

  • All methods used in the codebase are stable, core APIs
  • No usage of advanced features or deprecated patterns
  • No usage of pub/sub features (which had routing changes in 2.9.24)

📋 Breaking Changes & Considerations

1. Pub/Sub Channel Routing (2.9.24) ⚠️

Change: Non-sharded pub/sub channels now use random distribution instead of key-based routing.

Impact on TUnit:NONE - TUnit doesn't use pub/sub functionality.

2. StringSet API Changes (2.10.1) ⚠️

Change: Some default parameter values removed for keepTtl parameter.

Impact on TUnit:SAFE - Current usage in RedisCacheService.cs:60 explicitly provides expiry parameter:

await db.StringSetAsync(prefixedKey, value, expiry);

No reliance on default parameter values detected.


🚀 New Features Available (No Action Required)

Version 2.10.1 adds Redis 8.4 support:

  • MSETEX - Multi-string-set with expiration
  • SET with IFEQ/IFNE/IFDEQ/IFDNE - Checked string operations
  • DELEX - Checked string delete
  • XREADGROUP ... CLAIM - Simplified stream processing
  • Vector sets (2.9.17)
  • Sharded pub/sub (2.8.41)

These features are available for future use but don't require immediate action.


🔒 Security & Stability Improvements

The update includes important fixes:

  • ✅ Fix sharded pub/sub handling over slot migrations (2.9.32)
  • ✅ Fix Sentinel reconnect failure (2.9.24)
  • ✅ Fix CLIENT ID error during handshake (2.8.47)
  • ✅ Fix error constructing StreamAdd message (2.9.11)
  • ✅ Improved double formatting performance on .NET 8+

⚡ Performance Considerations

Positive impacts:

  • Improved double formatting performance on .NET 8+ (2.9.11)
  • Internal performance optimizations (sealed classes, concurrent flush operations)
  • Better structured logging (reduced allocations)

No negative impacts expected - TUnit's usage is limited to basic operations.


🧪 Testing Recommendations

Since this only affects example projects:

# Test the example ASP.NET project
cd TUnit.Example.Asp.Net.TestProject
dotnet test

# Verify template projects build
cd TUnit.Templates.Tests
dotnet test

The update should be validated by:

  1. ✅ Renovate Bot's automated checks
  2. ✅ Existing CI/CD pipeline tests
  3. ✅ Example project integration tests

📝 Recommendations

  1. Approve and Merge - This is a safe, well-tested dependency update
  2. No Code Changes Needed - Current usage patterns are fully compatible
  3. Consider Future Enhancements - New features like MSETEX could improve the example cache service if batch operations are added

✨ Final Verdict

LGTM ✅ - This is a routine dependency update with:

  • ✅ No breaking changes affecting TUnit's usage
  • ✅ Important bug fixes and security improvements
  • ✅ Performance enhancements
  • ✅ Proper testing via Renovate Bot automation
  • ✅ Minimal risk (only affects example/template projects)

Recommendation: Approve and allow automerge to proceed.

Summary

Minor dependency update upgrading StackExchange.Redis from 2.8.37 to 2.10.1.

Critical Issues

None found ✅

Analysis

Scope: This dependency is only used in example/demo projects (TUnit.Example.Asp.Net and test projects), not in TUnit core libraries.

TUnit Rule Checklist:

  • Dual-Mode: N/A - Not a core engine change
  • Snapshot Testing: N/A - No source generator or public API changes
  • No VSTest: N/A - Dependency-only change
  • Performance: N/A - Not in hot paths (example code only)
  • AOT Compatible: N/A - Dependency handles its own AOT compatibility

Usage Review:
Examined RedisCacheService.cs (lines 28, 42, 60, 71, 89) and RedisTestBase.cs (lines 54, 60, 79, 91). All usage is limited to stable core APIs:

  • ConnectionMultiplexer.ConnectAsync()
  • IDatabase.StringGetAsync/StringSetAsync
  • IDatabase.KeyDeleteAsync/KeyExistsAsync
  • IServer.KeysAsync

Compatibility: According to StackExchange.Redis release notes, v2.10.1 mentions that "niche StringSet[Async] scenarios may require trivial build changes due to removing default parameter values." However, TUnit's usage at RedisCacheService.cs:60 explicitly provides the expiry parameter, so no changes are needed.

The other major behavioral change (pub/sub channel routing in v2.9.24) does not affect TUnit since no pub/sub functionality is used.

Previous Review Status

This PR has received 7 previous reviews, all approving the change with similar analysis confirming:

  • No breaking changes affecting TUnit
  • Safe dependency update
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements included

Verdict

APPROVE - Safe, routine dependency update with no impact on TUnit core functionality.
