-
The default server profile for Redis is now
2.6
. -
Certain connection parameters have been renamed:
connection_async
is nowasync_connect
connection_timeout
is nowtimeout
connection_persistent
is nowpersistent
-
The
throw_errors
connection parameter has been removed and replaced by the newexceptions
client option since exceptions on-ERR
replies returned by Redis are not generated by connection classes anymore but instead are thrown by the client class and other abstractions such as pipeline contexts. -
Added smart support for redis-cluster (Redis v3.0) in addition to the usual cluster implementation that uses client-side sharding.
-
Various namespaces and classes have been renamed to follow rules inspired by the Symfony2 naming conventions.
-
The second argument of the constructor of
Predis\Client
does not accept strings or instances ofPredis\Profile\ServerProfileInterface
anymore. To specify a server profile you must explicitly setprofile
in the array of client options. -
Predis\Command\ScriptedCommand
internally relies onEVALSHA
instead ofEVAL
thus avoiding to send Lua scripts bodies on each request. The client automatically resends the command falling back toEVAL
when Redis returns a-NOSCRIPT
error. Automatic fallback toEVAL
does not work with pipelines, inside aMULTI / EXEC
context or with plainEVALSHA
commands. -
Complex responses are no more parsed by connection classes as they must be processed by consumer classes using the handler associated to the issued command. This means that executing commands directly on connections only returns simple Redis types, but nothing changes when using
Predis\Client
or the provided abstractions for pipelines and transactions. -
Iterators for multi-bulk replies now skip the response parsing method of the command that generated the response and are passed directly to user code. Pipeline and transaction objects still consume automatically iterators.
-
Cluster and replication connections now extend a new common interface,
Predis\Connection\AggregatedConnectionInterface
. -
Predis\Connection\MasterSlaveReplication
now uses an external strategy class to handle the logic for checking readable / writable commands and Lua scripts. -
Command pipelines have been optimized for both speed and code cleanness, but at the cost of bringing a breaking change in the signature of the interface for pipeline executors.
-
Added a new pipeline executor that sends commands wrapped in a MULTI / EXEC context to make the execution atomic: if a pipeline fails at a certain point then the whole pipeline is discarded.
-
The key-hashing mechanism for commands is now handled externally and is no more a competence of each command class. This change is neeeded to support both client-side sharding and Redis cluster.
-
Predis\Options\Option
is now abstract, seePredis\Option\AbstractOption
.
-
New commands available in the Redis v2.6 profile (dev):
BITOP
,BITCOUNT
. -
When the number of keys
Predis\Commands\ScriptedCommand
is negative, Predis will count from the end of the arguments list to calculate the actual number of keys that will be interpreted as elements forKEYS
by the underlyingEVAL
command. -
FIX:
examples\CustomDistributionStrategy.php
had a mistyped constructor call and produced a bad distribution due to an error as pointed in ISSUE #63. This bug is limited to the above mentioned example and does not affect the classes implemented in thePredis\Distribution
namespace. -
FIX:
Predis\Commands\ServerEvalSHA::getScriptHash()
was calculating the hash while it just needs to return the first argument of the command. -
FIX:
Predis\Autoloader
has been modified to allow cascading autoloaders for thePredis
namespace.
-
Added
2.6
in the server profiles aliases list for the upcoming Redis 2.6.2.4
is still the default server profile.dev
now targets Redis 2.8. -
Connection instances can be serialized and unserialized using
serialize()
andunserialize()
. This is handy in certain scenarios such as client-side clustering or replication to lower the overhead of initializing a connection object with many sub-connections since unserializing them can be up to 5x times faster. -
Reworked the default autoloader to make it faster. It is also possible to prepend it in PHP's autoload stack.
-
FIX: fixed parsing of the payload returned by
MONITOR
with Redis 2.6.
-
The PEAR channel on PearHub has been deprecated in favour of
pear.nrk.io
. -
Miscellaneous minor fixes.
-
Added transparent support for master / slave replication configurations where write operations are performed on the master server and read operations are routed to one of the slaves. Please refer to ISSUE #21 for a bit of history and more details about replication support in Predis.
-
The
profile
client option now accepts a callable object used to initialize a new instance ofPredis\Profiles\IServerProfile
. -
Exposed a method for MULTI / EXEC contexts that adds the ability to execute instances of Redis commands against transaction objects.
-
Predis now adheres to the PSR-0 standard which means that there is no more a single file holding all the classes of the library, but multiple files (one for each class). You can use any PSR-0 compatible autoloader to load Predis or just leverage the default one shipped with the library by requiring the
Predis/Autoloader.php
and callPredis\Autoloader::register()
. -
The default server profile for Redis is now 2.4. The
dev
profile supports all the features of Redis 2.6 (currently unstable) such as Lua scripting. -
Support for long aliases (method names) for Redis commands has been dropped.
-
Redis 1.0 is no more supported. From now on Predis will use only the unified protocol to serialize commands.
-
It is possible to prefix keys transparently on a client-level basis with the new
prefix
client option. -
An external connection factory is used to initialize new connection instances and developers can now register their own connection classes using the new
connections
client option. -
It is possible to connect locally to Redis using UNIX domain sockets. Just use
unix:///path/to/redis.sock
or a named array just like in the following example:array('scheme' => 'unix', 'path' => '/path/to/redis.sock');
. -
If the
phpiredis
extension is loaded by PHP, it is now possible to use an alternative connection class that leverages it to make Predis faster on many cases, especially when dealing with big multibulk replies, with the the only downside that persistent connections are not supported. Please refer to the documentation to see how to activate this class using the newconnections
client option. -
Predis is capable to talk with Webdis, albeit with some limitations such as the lack of pipelining and transactions, just by using the
http
scheme in in the connection parameters. All is needed is PHP with thecurl
and thephpiredis
extensions loaded. -
Way too many changes in the public API to make a list here, we just tried to make all the Redis commands compatible with previous releases of v0.6 so that you do not have to worry if you are simply using Predis as a client. Probably the only breaking changes that should be mentioned here are:
-
throw_on_error
has been renamed tothrow_errors
and it is a connection parameter instead of a client option, along withiterable_multibulk
. -
key_distribution
has been removed from the client options. To customize the distribution strategy you must provide a callable object to the newcluster
client option to configure and then return a new instance ofPredis\Network\IConnectionCluster
. -
Predis\Client::create()
has been removed. Just use the constructor to set up a new instance ofPredis\Client
. -
Predis\Client::pipelineSafe()
was deprecated in Predis v0.6.1 and now has finally removed. UsePredis\Client::pipeline(array('safe' => true))
. -
Predis\Client::rawCommand()
has been removed due to inconsistencies with the underlying connection abstractions. You can still get the raw resource out of a connection withPredis\Network\IConnectionSingle::getResource()
so that you can talk directly with Redis.
-
-
The
Predis\MultiBulkCommand
class has been merged intoPredis\Command
and thus removed. Serialization of commands is now a competence of connections. -
The
Predis\IConnection
interface has been splitted into two new interfaces:Predis\Network\IConnectionSingle
andPredis\Network\IConnectionCluster
. -
The constructor of
Predis\Client
now accepts more type of arguments such as instances ofPredis\IConnectionParameters
andPredis\Network\IConnection
.
-
Switched to Redis 2.2 as the default server profile (there are no changes that would break compatibility with previous releases). Long command names are no more supported by default but if you need them you can still require
Predis_Compatibility.php
to avoid breaking compatibility. -
Added a
VERSION
constant toPredis\Client
. -
Some performance improvements for multibulk replies (parsing them is about 16% faster than the previous version). A few core classes have been heavily optimized to reduce overhead when creating new instances.
-
Predis now uses by default a new protocol reader, more lightweight and faster than the default handler-based one. Users can revert to the old protocol reader with the
reader
client option set tocomposable
. This client option can also accept custom reader classes implementing the newPredis\IResponseReader
interface. -
Added support for connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets (ISSUE #25).
-
The
read_write_timeout
connection parameter can now be set to 0 or false to disable read and write timeouts on connections. The old behaviour of -1 is still intact. -
ZUNIONSTORE
andZINTERSTORE
can accept an array to specify a list of the source keys to be used to populate the destination key. -
MGET
,SINTER
,SUNION
andSDIFF
can accept an array to specify a list of keys.SINTERSTORE
,SUNIONSTORE
andSDIFFSTORE
can also accept an array to specify the list of source keys. -
SUBSCRIBE
andPSUBSCRIBE
can accept a list of channels for subscription. -
FIX: some client-side clean-ups for
MULTI/EXEC
were handled incorrectly in a couple of corner cases (ISSUE #27).
- FIX: due to an untested internal change introduced in v0.6.4, a wrong handling of bulk reads of zero-length values was producing protocol desynchronization errors (ISSUE #20).
-
Various performance improvements (15% ~ 25%) especially when dealing with long multibulk replies or when using clustered connections.
-
Added the
on_retry
option toPredis\MultiExecBlock
that can be used to specify an external callback (or any callable object) that gets invoked whenever a transaction is aborted by the server. -
Added inline (p)subscribtion via options when initializing an instance of
Predis\PubSubContext
.
-
New commands available in the Redis v2.2 profile (dev):
- Strings:
SETRANGE
,GETRANGE
,SETBIT
,GETBIT
- Lists :
BRPOPLPUSH
- Strings:
-
The abstraction for
MULTI/EXEC
transactions has been dramatically improved by providing support for check-and-set (CAS) operations when using Redis >= 2.2. Aborted transactions can also be optionally replayed in automatic up to a user-defined number of times, after which aPredis\AbortedMultiExec
exception is thrown.
-
Minor internal improvements and clean ups.
-
New commands available in the Redis v2.2 profile (dev):
- Strings:
STRLEN
- Lists :
LINSERT

-
WATCH also accepts a single array parameter with the keys that should be monitored during a transaction.
-
Improved the behaviour of
Predis\MultiExecBlock
in certain corner cases. -
Improved parameters checking for the SORT command.
-
FIX: the
STORE
parameter for theSORT
command didn't work correctly when using0
as the target key (ISSUE #13). -
FIX: the methods for
UNWATCH
andDISCARD
do not break anymore method chaining withPredis\MultiExecBlock
.
-
Minor internal improvements and clean ups.

New commands available in the Redis v2.2 profile (dev):
- Misc. :
WATCH
,UNWATCH
- Misc. :
-
Optional modifiers for
ZRANGE
,ZREVRANGE
andZRANGEBYSCORE
queries are supported using an associative array passed as the last argument of their respective methods. -
The
LIMIT
modifier forZRANGEBYSCORE
can be specified using either:- an indexed array:
array($offset, $count)
- an associative array:
array('offset' => $offset, 'count' => $count)
- an indexed array:
-
The method
Predis\Client::__construct()
now accepts also instances ofPredis\ConnectionParameters
. -
Predis\MultiExecBlock
andPredis\PubSubContext
now throw an exception when trying to create their instances using a profile that does not support the required Redis commands or when the client is connected to a cluster of connections. -
Various improvements to
Predis\MultiExecBlock
:- fixes and more consistent behaviour across various usage cases.
- support for
WATCH
andUNWATCH
when using the current development profile (Redis v2.2) and aborted transactions.
-
New signature for
Predis\Client::multiExec()
which is now able to accept an array of options for the underlying instance ofPredis\MultiExecBlock
. Backwards compatibility with previous releases of Predis is ensured. -
New signature for
Predis\Client::pipeline()
which is now able to accept an array of options for the underlying instance of Predis\CommandPipeline. Backwards compatibility with previous releases of Predis is ensured. The methodPredis\Client::pipelineSafe()
is to be considered deprecated. -
FIX: The
WEIGHT
modifier forZUNIONSTORE
andZINTERSTORE
was handled incorrectly with more than two weights specified.
-
Switched to the new multi-bulk request protocol for all of the commands in the Redis 1.2 and Redis 2.0 profiles. Inline and bulk requests are now deprecated as they will be removed in future releases of Redis.
-
The default server profile is
2.0
(targeting Redis 2.0.x). If you are using older versions of Redis, it is highly recommended that you specify which server profile the client should use (e.g.1.2
when connecting to instances of Redis 1.2.x). -
Support for Redis 1.0 is now optional and it is provided by requiring 'Predis_Compatibility.php' before creating an instance of Predis\Client.
-
New commands added to the Redis 2.0 profile since Predis 0.5.1:
- Strings:
SETEX
,APPEND
,SUBSTR
- ZSets :
ZCOUNT
,ZRANK
,ZUNIONSTORE
,ZINTERSTORE
,ZREMBYRANK

- PubSub :
PUBLISH
,SUBSCRIBE
,UNSUBSCRIBE
- Misc. :
DISCARD
,CONFIG
- Strings:
-
Introduced client-level options with the new
Predis\ClientOptions
class. Options can be passed to the constructor ofPredis\Client
in its second argument as an array or an instance of Predis\ClientOptions. For brevity's sake and compatibility with older versions, the constructor still accepts an instance ofPredis\RedisServerProfile
in its second argument. The currently supported client options are:-
profile
[default:2.0
as of Predis 0.6.0]: specifies which server profile to use when connecting to Redis. This option accepts an instance ofPredis\RedisServerProfile
or a string that indicates the version. -
key_distribution
[default:Predis\Distribution\HashRing
]: specifies which key distribution strategy to use to distribute keys among the servers that compose a cluster. This option accepts an instance ofPredis\Distribution\IDistributionStrategy
so that users can implement their own key distribution strategy.Predis\Distribution\KetamaPureRing
is an alternative distribution strategy providing a pure-PHP implementation of the same algorithm used by libketama. -
throw_on_error
[default:TRUE
]: server errors can optionally be handled "silently": instead of throwing an exception, the client returns an error response type. -
iterable_multibulk
[EXPERIMENTAL - default:FALSE
]: in addition to the classic way of fetching a whole multibulk reply into an array, the client can now optionally stream a multibulk reply down to the user code by using PHP iterators. It is just a little bit slower, but it can save a lot of memory in certain scenarios.
-
-
New parameters for connections:
alias
[default: not set]: every connection can now be identified by an alias that is useful to get a specific connections when connected to a cluster of Redis servers.weight
[default: not set]: allows to balance keys asymmetrically across multiple servers. This is useful when you have servers with different amounts of memory to distribute the load of your keys accordingly.connection_async
[default:FALSE
]: estabilish connections to servers in a non-blocking way, so that the client is not blocked while the socket resource performs the actual connection.connection_persistent
[default:FALSE
]: the underlying socket resource is left open when a script ends its lifecycle. Persistent connections can lead to unpredictable or strange behaviours, so they should be used with extreme care.
-
Introduced the
Predis\Pipeline\IPipelineExecutor
interface. Classes that implements this interface are used internally by thePredis\CommandPipeline
class to change the behaviour of the pipeline when writing/reading commands from one or multiple servers. Here is the list of the default executors:Predis\Pipeline\StandardExecutor
: exceptions generated by server errors might be thrown depending on the options passed to the client (see thethrow_on_error
client option). Instead, protocol or network errors always throw exceptions. This is the default executor for single and clustered connections and shares the same behaviour of Predis 0.5.x.Predis\Pipeline\SafeExecutor
: exceptions generated by server, protocol or network errors are not thrown but returned in the response array as instances ofPredis\ResponseError
orPredis\CommunicationException
.Predis\Pipeline\SafeClusterExecutor
: this executor shares the same behaviour ofPredis\Pipeline\SafeExecutor
but it is geared towards clustered connections.
-
Support for PUB/SUB is handled by the new
Predis\PubSubContext
class, which could also be used to build a callback dispatcher for PUB/SUB scenarios. -
When connected to a cluster of connections, it is now possible to get a new
Predis\Client
instance for a single connection of the cluster by passing its alias/index to the newPredis\Client::getClientFor()
method. -
Predis\CommandPipeline
andPredis\MultiExecBlock
return their instances when invokink commands, thus allowing method chaining in pipelines and multi-exec blocks. -
Predis\MultiExecBlock
can handle the newDISCARD
command. -
Connections now support float values for the
connection_timeout
parameter to express timeouts with a microsecond resolution. -
FIX: TCP connections now respect the read/write timeout parameter when reading the payload of server responses. Previously,
stream_get_contents()
was being used internally to read data from a connection but it looks like PHP does not honour the specified timeout for socket streams when inside this function. -
FIX: The
GET
parameter for theSORT
command now accepts also multiple key patterns by passing an array of strings. (ISSUE #1).
- FIX: Replies to the
DEL
command return the number of elements deleted by the server and not 0 or 1 interpreted as a boolean response. (ISSUE #4).
-
RPOPLPUSH
has been changed from bulk command to inline command in Redis 1.2.1, soListPopLastPushHead
now extendsInlineCommand
. The old behavior is still available via theListPopLastPushHeadBulk
class so that you can override the server profile if you need the old (and uncorrect) behaviour when connecting to a Redis 1.2.0 instance. -
Added missing support for
BGREWRITEAOF
for Redis >= 1.2.0. -
Implemented a factory method for the
RedisServerProfile
class to ease the creation of new server profile instances based on a version string.
- First versioned release of Predis
