2.0.5 (March 2022, GA)

This is the General Availability (GA) release of RedisInsight 2.0.

Headlines

• Tree view - A new view of the keys in Browser, which automatically groups keys scanned in your database into folders based on key namespaces. Now you can navigate through and analyze your list of keys quicker by opening only folders with namespaces you want.
• Support for Apple M1 (arm64) - You can download it here.
• Added auto-discovery of local databases - RedisInsight will automatically find and add your local databases when you open the application for the first time.
• A dedicated Editor for Cypher syntax - Workbench supports autocomplete and highlighting of Cypher syntax for RedisGraph queries.

Details

• You can switch to the Tree view in Browser to see all the keys grouped into folders according to their namespaces. Note that we use the colon (:) as a default separator, and it is not customizable yet.
• Added support for Apple M1 (arm64).
• Added a mechanism to auto-discover local databases based on the following parameters:
  • The mechanism only triggers when you open the application for the first time.
  • The database has standalone connection type.
  • The database uses the default username and requires no password or TLS certificates.
• Added new built-in guides in Workbench for additional capabilities.
• Added tutorials in Workbench for Redis Stack databases that describe common use cases for Redis capabilities.
• Added a new dedicated Editor to Workbench with support for Cypher syntax autocomplete and highlighting. Use the "Shift+Space" shortcut inside of the quotes for your query to open the dedicated Editor.
• Show modules uploaded to databases in the list of databases.
• Added support for returning to the previous command in Workbench Editor. Use arrow up when your cursor is at the beginning of the first row to return to the previous command. Note: there is no support for the reverse direction yet, so use it with caution.

If you installed RedisInsight-preview before, this folder will still exist at the following path:

• For MacOs: <usersHomeDir>/.redisinsight-preview
• For Windows: C:/Users/{Username}/.redisinsight-preview
• For Linux: <usersHomeDir>/.redisinsight-preview

  • Connect Workbench to the database index selected when adding a database.
  • To repeat any command in Workbench, just enter any integer and then a Redis command with arguments.
• CLI:
  • Added support for RedisGears and RedisBloom on the intelligent Redis command auto-complete, so hints with arguments are displayed when you enter any RedisGears or RedisBloom commands
