Further details from @antirez:
It was reported by @StopForumSpam on Twitter that the Redis replication
link was strangely using multiple TCP packets for multiple commands.
This wastes a lot of bandwidth and is due to the TCP_NODELAY option we
enable on the socket after accepting a new connection.
However the master -> slave channel is a one-way channel since Redis
replication is asynchronous, so there is no point in trying to reduce
the latency, we should aim to reduce the bandwidth. For this reason this
commit introduces the ability to disable the nagle algorithm on the
socket after a successful SYNC.
This feature is off by default because the delay can be up to 40
milliseconds with normally configured Linux kernels.
In CASE 2, the call sunionDiffGenericCommand will involve the string "srandmember"
> sadd foo one
(integer 1)
> sadd srandmember two
(integer 2)
> srandmember foo 3
1)"one"
2)"two"
When keyspace events are enabled, the overhead is not sever but
noticeable, so this commit introduces the ability to select subclasses
of events in order to avoid to generate events the user is not
interested in.
The events can be selected using redis.conf or CONFIG SET / GET.
decrRefCount used to get its argument as a void* pointer in order to be
used as destructor where a 'void free_object(void*)' prototype is
expected. However this made simpler to introduce bugs by freeing the
wrong pointer. This commit fixes the argument type and introduces a new
wrapper called decrRefCountVoid() that can be used when the void*
argument is needed.
There was a bug in the previous version of this library that caused a
crash under the circumstances described in issue #901.
The newer version of the library appears to be fixed (I tested it
manually with valgrind and everything seems fine now).

UNSUBSCRIBE and PUNSUBSCRIBE commands are designed to mass-unsubscribe
the client respectively all the channels and patters if called without
arguments.
However when these functions are called without arguments, but there are
no channels or patters we are subscribed to, the old behavior was to
don't reply at all.
This behavior is broken, as every command should always reply.
Also it is possible that we are no longer subscribed to a channels but we
are subscribed to patters or the other way around, and the client should
be notified with the correct number of subscriptions.
Also it is not pretty that sometimes we did not receive a reply at all
in a redis-cli session from these commands, blocking redis-cli trying
to read the reply.
This fixes issue #714.
I don't know how to test for Open Solaris that has support for
backtrace() so for now removing the #ifdef that breaks compilation under
other Solaris flavors.
This commit fixes issue #875 that was caused by the following events:
1) There is an active child doing BGSAVE.
2) flushall is called (or any other condition that makes Redis killing
the saving child process).
3) An error is sensed by Redis as the child exited with an error (killed
by a singal), that stops accepting write commands until a BGSAVE happens
to be executed with success.
Whitelisting SIGUSR1 and making sure Redis always uses this signal in
order to kill its own children fixes the issue.
When a SIGTERM is received Redis schedules a shutdown. However if it
fails to perform the shutdown it must be clear the shutdown_asap flag
otehrwise it will try again and again possibly making the server
unusable.
The Redis Slow Log always used to log the slow commands executed inside
a MULTI/EXEC block. However also EXEC was logged at the end, which is
perfectly useless.
Now EXEC is no longer logged and a test was added to test this behavior.
This fixes issue #759.
