Redis 4.0.2 for Windows - alpha release!

You can find the first alpha release of Redis 4.0.2 for Windows on releases page. Please test it and report any issues, thanks in advance!

DISCLAIMER

At the moment this is a fairly stable port of Redis 4.0.2 for Windows x64 merged with archived port of win-3.2.100 version from MS Open Tech team. Since the latter is no longer maintained - I merged the sources by hand, updated projects to Visual Studio 2017 (v15.4.1) and applied whatever fixes I could figure of to make it buildable. Some things are still in progress:

• support for modules (modules are now supported, will be part of next release).

You can find the original description of what this fork provides, how it evolved, what are its requirements, etc. on Wiki: https://github.com/tporadowski/redis/wiki/Old-MSOpenTech-redis-README.md

Building from source code

In order to build this project from source code you need to have:

1. Visual Studio 2017 (i.e. Community Edtion, version 15.7.5) with "C/C++ features" enabled,
2. Git Bash for Windows or Cygwin with Git - after cloning this repository you need to run src/mkreleasehdr.sh script that creates src/release.h with some information taken from Git; optionally you can create that file by hand.
