walrus v0.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-11-16 // over 5 years ago

  • Depends on redis-py 3.0 or newer.
    There are a number of backwards-incompatible changes in redis-py. Because
    walrus provides high-level abstractions for the Redis data-types/commands, your
    ⬆️ walrus code should work with little or no modifications. Refer to the list of changes
    for more information.

    👍 redis-py added support for stream
    commands as well as zpop/bzpop. As a result, walrus no longer contains separate
    implementations for these commands. For the majority of cases the low-level
    method signatures and return values are unchanged, notably, the XREADGROUP
    ⏱ return value is slightly different. The timeout parameter, where it was
    accepted, has been renamed to block for greater compatibility with redis-py.

    Prior to 0.7.0, you would read from a consumer-group (which might contain one
    or more streams) and receive a dict keyed by the stream, whose value was a
    list of (message_id, data) 2-tuples. Going forward, the return value will be
    a list of [stream_name, [(message_id, data), ...]]. To retain the
    functionality of walrus prior-to 0.7.0, just wrap the return value in a call to
    the dict constructor: ret = dict(consumer_group.read(count=1)).

    • ➕ Added BloomFilter
      👍 container type, which supports add() and contains().
    • ➕ Added a high-level BitField
      container type.
