Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

Replace default health check and failure detector with a custom implementation (see issue #3822). This may break existing health‑check integrations; update your health‑check configuration to use the new custom health check class.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    Update health‑check configuration to use the new custom health check and failure detector as the defaults have changed (see #3822).
  2. 2
    If you rely on the previous health‑check behavior, review and adjust any custom health‑check logic accordingly.

Release Summary

The release adds MSETEX, CLAIM for XREADGROUP, routing policies, and experimental CAS/CAD and HYBRID search support, while removing Python 3.9 support and changing the default health‑check implementation, which requires migration steps.
