v9 support lower Redis versions?

[pjebs]

I did a quick test with v9 of this package.

It works with v7 of Redis as mentioned in docs.
When I tried it with v6 of Redis, it did not connect.

Do I have to use v8 of this package to use with v6?

Is there a chance that v9 of this package can support v6 and v7 of Redis?

Adding to the question, I'd like to understand the differences between major versions (regular, v8, v9), because I couldn't find in docs.

It would be great to have a migration description from one to another aswell.

If you are using Redis 6, install go-redis/v8:

go get github.com/go-redis/redis/v8

If you are using Redis 7, install go-redis/v9:

go get github.com/go-redis/redis/v9

But github.com/go-redis/redis/v9 should also work with Redis 6.

But github.com/go-redis/redis/v9 should also work with Redis 6.

If v9 will work with Redis 6 then why do you recommend installing v8 for Redis 6..?
Also what is the lowest Redis Server Version supported by v9?

Hi, i want to ask regarding go-redis v8.7.1, which RESP version is supported for that? I look for the documentation for that version, but i don’t find it. Anyone know?
Thank you
