What's New
Major version jump introduces Rust engine, breaking replication compatibility.
Breaking Changes
- Cannot mix 4.x and 6.0 nodes in the same primary/replica set
- Configuration change: `EFFECTS_THRESHOLD` is now ignored
- Alpine and macOS images remain on 4.x; 6.0 has no Alpine images yet
- Missing algorithms: A*, CCH, Leiden, and Louvain are not yet available in 6.0
New Features
- New Rust query engine replaces the legacy C engine
- Replication via effects (v3 format)
- RediSearch 8.6.1 integration
Improvements
- Docker images now support AMD64 and ARM64
- Improved `GRAPH.BULK` memory handling
Upgrade Notes
Upgrade every node in a replication group together as 6.0 replicates writes only as effects in a new format. Note that `EFFECTS_THRESHOLD` is ignored and Alpine/macOS images remain on the 4.x C engine.
