7.0.0

django-redis 7.0.0 (2026-06-02)

Features

• Added the ability to pass redis username in the cache options (#657)
• RedisCache does not attempt to close clients which have not been initialized. (#796)
• Add sorted set operations (zadd, zrange, zrem, etc.) and mixins for RedisCache (#797)
• Centralize configuration in pyproject.toml, drop EoL Python & Django
  versions, and add support & testing for modern Python & Django versions. (#820)
• Provide TypeVar defaults & provide initial typing for RedisCache. (#829)

Bug Fixes

• Fix IntEnum encoding (#602)
• Fix incorrect Redis typing that relied on the legacy types-redis package, and update the public API to avoid exposing redis-py key types (the encode/decode/make_key methods allow a different API surface). (#822)

Miscellaneous

• Drop support for Django 5.0 (EOL) (#779)
• Clean & organize ruff config (#781)
• Replace black with ruff format (#782)
• Update RedisCache.close to not forward kwargs to the client implementation. (#788)
• Rename 'name' parameter to 'key' in all sorted set methods for better consistency with Redis terminology (#811)
• Fix hash method parameters: rename 'name' → 'key', 'key' → 'field' to align with Redis/Valkey terminology. Add version parameter to hlen() and hkeys(). Fix make_key() to only apply to hash key, not fields. (#812)
• pre-commit autoupdate (#819)
• Use from __future__ import annotations to postpone evaluation of annotations. (#823)
• Increase mypy strictness, fix typing configuration, and fix type errors. (#824)
• This change updates the compose configuration, and moves it to tests
  directory as it is only for testing. (#825)
• Remove code handling unsupported Django versions (#826)
• Increase mypy type coverage & update strictness overrides to only target specific modules (#827)
