Valkey 8.0.0 released

Version 8.0.0 of the Valkey open-source in-memory data store is now available. This is the first major release of Valkey since the project forked from Redis in March of this year:

While this is a major version, Valkey takes command set compatibility seriously: Valkey 8.0.0 makes no backwards incompatible changes to the existing command syntax or their responses. Your existing tools and custom software will be able to immediately take advantage of Valkey 8.0.0. Since Valkey 8.0.0 does make some small changes to previously undefined behaviors, it's wise to read the release notes. Additionally, because this version makes changes in how the software uses threading, you may want to re-evaluate your cluster's infrastructure to achieve the highest performance.
