Redis 2.4.4 has been released with these changes : [BUGFIX] jemalloc upgraded to version 2.2.5, previous versions had a potentially serious issue when allocating big memory areas, something that Redis actually does. However we never received bug reports that appear to be caused by jemalloc. [BUGFIX] DISCARD now clears DIRTY_CAS flag in the client. Now the next transaction will not fail if the previous transaction used WATCH and the key was touched. CLIENT LIST output modified to include the last command executed by clients. Better bug report on crash. Protocol errors are now logged for loglevel >= verbose. Two new INFO fields related to AOF, that can be useful when investigating Redis issues. The packages of Redis 2.4.4 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures. ...

Redis 2.4.3 has been released yesterday with these changes : redis-cli now supports ‘single quotes’ style strings. It is possible to disable password auth with CONFIG SET. Some section of redis.conf better documented. Default timeout for client connections now is 0 (no timeout). I/O buffer length modified for better performances with big payloads. Fixed crash on SPARC due to improper alighment due to bad assumptions about data types size. CLIENT LIST output improved, code refactored. [BUGFIX] Max log message length set to 4k to avoid truncation in INFO output written in the log file after a crash. [BUGFIX] Close client connection when the query buffer reaches 1GB and log informaiton about the offending client, instead of crashing the instance when the query buffer reaches 2GB (for sds.c string overflow). This is related to issue #141 (github issues) and should fix the effect of this rare bug related to replication, but the cause is still not perfectly clear. The packages of Redis 2.4.3 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures ...

MySQL 5.5.18 has been released by Oracle yesterday. The packages for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” are now available on Dotdeb for both amd64 and i386 architectures. As usual, please read the full Changelog carefully before upgrading. Please also note that Oracle now provides .deb packages on their download page. That’s a great thing, but they’ll have to be improved : no repository is available to ease the future updates they’re monolythic and do not separate libraries from headers or binaries, configuration from server or client. they do not take care of the official Debian naming convention
