A YEAR ON, VALKEY CHARTS PATH TO V9 AFTER BREAK FROM REDIS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Redis' decision to tighten license terms resulted in an exodus of contributors and the creation of Valkey. Valkey's creation resulted in a large number of pent-up requests for functionality being unleashed, some of which were being held up by Redis Open Source. The Valkey team will likely release v9 rather than 8.2 due to some changes that are a little bit more intrusive. It plans to be very conservative about what it puts into a version so that there are as few breaking changes as possible.
