[Redis 6.0 Released](http://antirez.com/news/132) — The next major release of the popular data structure server _is here_. Redis is at the heart of so many data systems nowadays that any major release is big news but 6.0 packs in a _lot_ of [new bits and pieces](http://antirez.com/news/131) that make it more robust and capable of modern workloads, including: 

- [Access Control Lists (ACL)](https://redis.io/topics/acl) for limiting what certain clients can do.
- Diskless replication on replicas.
- Threaded I/O (but Redis itself remains primarily single threaded).
- [SSL/TLS support.](https://redis.io/topics/encryption)
- A new client-server protocol, [RESP3](http://antirez.com/news/125).
