Redis OM Python 1.1 Release Notes

Redis OM Python 1.1 focuses on compatibility updates and timestamp normalization fixes.

Notable Changes

• RedisVL dependency updated to allow newer Python versions
• datetime.datetime values now round-trip as UTC-aware datetime values
• datetime.date values now store as midnight UTC instead of local-midnight timestamps

Timestamp Upgrade Note

The timestamp normalization change is important if you already have data written by earlier releases:

• Existing datetime.datetime records still represent the same instant in time, but code that expected naive datetime values may need to handle UTC-aware values.
• Existing datetime.date records written in a non-UTC environment may load as a different calendar day after upgrading.
• Date equality queries may stop matching those older records until the data is re-saved or migrated.

For migration guidance, see Migrations: Datetime Timezone Normalization in 1.1.0.
