DEV: modules lifecycle updates for Redis CE 8.0 #857
Conversation
| Redis Enterprise Software follows the [Redis Enterprise lifecycle]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/product-lifecycle" >}}). (For complete details, see the Redis Enterprise Software [subscription agreement](https://redis.com/software-subscription-agreement).) | ||

| The modules included in Redis Stack also follow a release lifecycle and schedule. Here, you'll find the "end-of-life" dates for each module and release. | ||

Suggesting to replace "(CE)" to "(Redis CE)".
Instead of "Redis Community Edition formerly called Redis Stack", we should say that we consolidated Redis, Redis Stack, RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, and RedisBloom into a single Product - Redis Community Edition (Redis CE).
Here, you'll find the "end-of-life" dates for each module and release.
Instead of saying that we EoL the modules, which may be quite confusing. We should better say that we incorporated the modules into Redis CE and we no longer offer them as separate downloadables.
| In Redis CE 8.0 and beyond, module version numbers will align exactly with the Redis CE versions that include them. | ||
| For example, the modules included with Redis CE 8.0 will all have version number 8.0. | ||
|
|
||
| This also means that Redis CE versions 8.0+ require modules with an exact match in version number. |

We can remove this sentence because CE does not "require" modules. It includes modules.
We don't even want to mention "modules" anymore, these are capabilities. The fact that they are packaged as modules is an internal implementation detail.

@LiorKogan Given what you wrote above, it seems to me that this page doesn't really need to be updated at all, since it's mainly there to support RS. Maybe we should just leave it alone for now. When RS includes CE8, then we can revisit. What do you think? |
|
If this page is just for RS, it is better not to mention "CE" or "modules". We shouldn't have a "module lifecycle" page to start with. This is too confusing. |
