Bump redis from 8.0.1 to 8.1.0

[dependabot]

Bumps redis from 8.0.1 to 8.1.0.

Release notes

Sourced from redis's releases.

8.1.0

Changes

✨ Highlights

Async maintenance notifications

redis-py now supports server-pushed maintenance notifications in the asyncio stack for both standalone and cluster clients, bringing the async client to parity with the sync implementation. When a Redis deployment signals maintenance events (such as node migration or failover windows), the async client reacts through the maintenance-notifications handler (redis/maint_notifications.py and its async integration under redis/asyncio/), allowing applications to adapt connection handling during maintenance without downtime. (#4177)

Expanded command coverage

This release adds a batch of new command surfaces across core data types and modules:

• Lists — LMOVEM / BLMOVEM for moving multiple elements between lists (#4174).
• Sets — SDIFFCARD and SUNIONCARD cardinality commands (#4171).
• Streams — MAXCOUNT / MAXSIZE options for XREAD and XREADGROUP (#4173).
• Time Series — TS.READ (#4170), TS.QUERYLABELS (#4197), TS.NRANGE / TS.NREVRANGE (#4163), and an exclude_empty (EXCLUDEEMPTY) option for TS.MRANGE / TS.MREVRANGE (#4188).
• Search — FT.ALIASLIST (#4198) and a COLLECT reducer for aggregations (#4179).
• Sentinel — replica sentinel aliases (#4127).

Review: redis 8.0.1 → 8.1.0 bump

Straightforward Dependabot dependency bump (requirements/base.txt, single line, minor version).

Checked for the known regression risk: this repo previously hit a real incident (issue #1886, documented in CLAUDE.md pitfall #19) where a redis-py upgrade changed the default socket_timeout on the sync client from None to 5s, causing every WebSocket consumer to disconnect with close code 1011 on a ~5s beat (channels-redis' blocking bzpopmin/brpop reads were timing out client-side before the server's idle-timeout nil reply). The fix was to make CHANNEL_LAYERS hosts explicit dicts with socket_timeout: None instead of relying on the redis-py default.

Verified that fix is still in place after this bump:

• config/settings/base.py — CHANNEL_LAYERS.default.CONFIG.hosts sets socket_timeout: None explicitly ✅
• config/settings/test_integration.py — same explicit socket_timeout: None ✅

Since the timeout is pinned explicitly rather than inherited from the client default, this bump (8.0.1 → 8.1.0, both within the 8.x line) shouldn't reintroduce that class of bug. The regression test test_redis_integration.py::TestChannelsRedisLayer::test_idle_receive_survives_blocking_pop_window should catch it if something did slip.

Release notes for 8.1.0 are additive (async maintenance notifications, new command coverage for lists/sets/streams/timeseries/search) — nothing that looks like a breaking API change relevant to this codebase's usage (django-redis, channels-redis, Celery broker).

Suggestion: let the redis-integration CI check (currently pending/empty in the status rollup) finish before merging, given the history here — cheap insurance for a one-line change.

No code quality, security, or test coverage concerns beyond the above. LGTM pending green CI.
