✨ 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).
