Valkey 9.0.0-rc2 release notes

Upgrade urgency levels:

Level	Meaning
LOW	No need to upgrade unless there are new features you want to use.
MODERATE	Program an upgrade of the server, but it's not urgent.
HIGH	There is a critical bug that may affect a subset of users. Upgrade!
CRITICAL	There is a critical bug affecting MOST USERS. Upgrade ASAP.
SECURITY	There are security fixes in the release.

Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the second release candidate of Valkey 9.0.0,
focused on stability, bug fixes, and incremental improvements.

Attention Valkey Module maintainers: There is a new module option to
indicate support for the Atomic Slot Migration (ASM) feature. Modules must
explicitly opt in to ASM; otherwise, this feature will be disabled in clusters
that load modules without ASM support.

Do not migrate script functions in atomic slot migration (#2547)
Don't use AVX2 instructions if the CPU don't support it (#2571)

Performance/Efficiency

Optimized pipelining by parsing and prefetching multiple commands (#2092)

Cluster and Replication

Make cluster failover delay relative to node timeout (#2449)
Separate RDB snapshotting from atomic slot migration (#2533)

Module API

Added new module API event for tracking authentication attempts (#2237)
Added READONLY flag to ClientInfo.flags output structure (#2522)
Make modules opt-in to atomic slot migration and add server events (#2593)

Configuration

Added new cluster-announce-client-(port|tls-port) configs (#2429)
CONFIG RESETSTATS now also resets cluster related stats (#2458)
Make CONFIG GET command return sorted output (#2493)

Commands

Update reply schema for LMOVE and BLMOVE (#2541)
Most deprecated commands are now un-deprecated (#2546)

Upgrade
