●Issue #1

Dropped support for Python 3.8; projects must upgrade to Python 3.9 or newer.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If your code imports `indexDefinition`, change it to `index_definition`.
  2. 2
    Ensure the `hiredis-py` package is installed if you rely on RESP3 support.
  3. 3
    Review any custom usage of `RedisSSLContext` to confirm the restored default behavior.
