1.4 History

This module is based on the gpredis.pl by Sean Charles for GNU-Prolog. This file greatly helped me understanding what had to be done, although, eventually, not much of the original interface is left. The main difference to the original client are:

• Replies are not wrapped by type in a compound term.
• String replies use the SWI-Prolog string type.
• Values can be specified as Value as prolog, after which they are returns as a (copy of) Value. This prefixes the value using "\u0000T\u0000".
• Strings are in UTF-8 encoding to support full Unicode.
• Using redis_server/3, actual connections are established lazily and when a connection is lost it is automatically restarted.
• This library allows for using the Redis publish/subscribe interface. Messages are propagated using broadcast/1.
