Redis uses a standard practice for its versioning: major.minor.patchlevel. An even minor marks a stable release: 1.2, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4. Odd minors are used for unstable releases: 1.3.x were the unstable versions that became 2.0 once stable.

Redis 2.4 offers a number of significant advantages over Redis 2.2, you can
read about all the changes in this detailed article. For a list of fixes contained in each 2.4 release candidate please check the Release Notes.

| 2.2.15 | Legacy | This is the previous (now legacy) Redis stable release.
We suggest using 2.4 stable instead.
Redis 2.2 is production ready and provides big benefits compared to
2.0 both in terms of performances, memory usage and functionality.

Where's Redis Cluster?
Redis development is currently focused on Redis 2.6 that will bring you support for Lua scripting and many other improvements. This is our current priority, however the unstable branch already contains most of the fundamental parts of Redis Cluster. After the 2.6 release we'll focus our energies on turning the current Redis Cluster alpha in a beta product that users can start to seriously test.
It is hard to make forecasts since we'll release Redis Cluster as stable only when we feel it is rock solid and useful for our customers, but we hope to have a reasonable beta for summer 2012, and to ship the first stable release before the end of 2012.
