+Redis 6.0.1     Released Sat May 02 00:06:07 CEST 2020
+================================================================================
+
+Upgrade urgency HIGH: This release fixes a crash when builiding against
+                      Libc malloc.
+
+Here we revert 8110ba888, an optimization that causes a crash due to a
+bug in the code. It does not happen with the default allocator because of
+differences between Jemalloc and libc malloc, so this escaped all our
+testing but was reported by a user. We'll add back the original optimization
+that was reverted here later, after checking what happens: it is not a
+critical optimization.
+
+The other commits are minor stuff:
