- The port is similar to the port of Redis 2.4, including the same background saving technology.
- There is support for x64 version as well as 32 bit versions.
- For the 64 bit version, there is a limit of 2^32 objects in a structure, and a max length of 2^32 for any object
- Version number now 2.6.8-pre1 to indicate prerelease and to enable changing
- Version number now 2.6.8-pre2 to indicate prerelease and to enable changing
- Version 2.6.8-pre2 fixes several failures that existed in 2.6.8-pre1. Most of these were related to handling opening and closing of non-blocking sockets.

If a Unix shell is not installed you may see the following error message: "couldn't execute "cat": no such file or directory".
## Known issues
When the unit tests are run, a few failures are reported, mostly related to replication. The exact failures vary per run. The tests pass if they are run individually. We are still investigating if this is a timing problem with the tests or with the port of the Redis server.
The are 3 consistent failures in the protocol module, having to do with receiving an error message when the client connection is closed due to bad data. These tests are disabled for now.
