Closes DOC-6953. Also covers the release-note request on RED-212186.
Two entries on both 8.2 release notes: the behavior change under Version
changes (verbatim SME wording from RED-212186, unedited), and the Cluster
Manager sign-out symptom with its workaround under Known limitations
(DOC-6953). Cross-linked, since they're one phenomenon in two sections.
No other release lines change. Verified at version-matched tags:
_rotate_weak_jwt_secret_key(RED-196853) is absent atv8.0.20-96,present from
v8.0.22-40, and not backported tov7.22.2-178orv7.8.6-302. 8.0.22 has no release-note page of its own, so 8.2 is thefirst publishable surface — same as the existing Amazon Linux 2 note.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only edits to release notes; no product or runtime behavior changes.
Overview
Documents JWT signing-secret rotation from Redis Software 8.0.22+ in the 8.2.0-25 and 8.2.0-46 release notes.
Under Version changes, a new JWT token invalidation on upgrade section states that upgrades invalidate existing JWTs, in-cluster programmatic tokens are regenerated automatically, and Cluster Manager users must sign in again or wait for session expiry.
Under Known limitations, a cross-linked entry describes intermittent Cluster Manager sign-outs and false “down” status for participating clusters during Active-Active upgrades while versions differ (JWT key mismatch; data path unaffected), with workarounds to complete the upgrade and re-authenticate.
